I think I used to eat mud when I was bored.

I think that is thinking a bit too narrow. A lot of the stuff we use today might just be our bronze to our successors iron - you can build an unstable society on either. And what we do use up today could still work if used more efficiently - we might not have enough rare metals to give everyone a smartphone in the post-post-apocalypse, but I could see us still launching satellites if only big governments had computers - because they did.

You are correct, but that doesn’t mean I can’t speculate about it.

The ability to do photosynthesis is widely distributed throughout the bacterial domain in six different phyla, with no apparent pattern of evolution., according to this random paper I found on the internet (I’m not a biologist either).

What I can glance is that photosynthesis has (probably) evolved independently 6 time in Bacteria and 3 times in Eukaryotes.

Plants evolved to photosynthesise after photosynthesising bacteria already existed for billions of years.

(But then we have to also acknowledge that multicellular life evolved like 25 times in Eukaryotes, and the Eukaryote - aka Mitochondria-“Powerhouse of the cell”-haver- is the real big step as it only happened once to our knowledge).

We have had Millions of years of (presumably) intelligent Dinosaurs on this planet, but only 200.000 years of mankind were enough to create Civilization IV, the best Strategy game and peak of life as we know it.

So clearly, Civilization™ is what sets us apart.

Jokes aside, the thing evolution on earth spend the most time on is getting from single celled life-forms to multicellular life (~2 billion years). If what earth life found difficult is difficult for all, multicellular collaboration is way harder than photosynthesis, which evolved roughly half a billion years after life formed.

A filter for sure, but not a great one. Call me optimistic, but I don’t think that will set us back more than 10.000 years. If humanity can survive, society will re-emerge, and we are back here 2-3000 years into the future.

Is +5°C Earth a good place to be? No. Will the majority of humans die? Absolutely. Will the descendants get to try this society thing again? I believe so.

On a cosmic scale 10.000 years is just a setback, and cannot be considered a great filter.

No, there’s barely any physical evidence that anyone a few hundred years ago existed.

But if writing is enough, there are some. Tacitus basically said: “Nero blamed the Christians, followers of that Guy called Jesus who Pilatus executed a few decades ago.”

Wikipedia at least says both his Baptism and crucifixion are not disputed by historians.

The news say Eastern Ukraine, though take that with a grain of salt as I haven’t been there personally.

It has to be so, why else would it say so on my chart?

Tatoos sind so cringe, echte Zuhausis suchen sich Sternbilder die deren Lebrflecken ähneln.

“Ich war schon immer ein großer Fan von Ursa Major, deshalb sind die auf meinem linken Oberschenkel verewigt.”

Stimmt, da war ja was.

Keine Sorge, hab nicht vor herauszufinden, wie die Website funktioniert; du darfst ruhig letzter bleiben.

…aber was ist der Vorteil? Speicherplatz? Ist es dann nicht einfach wie Windows’ One-Drive, was auch niemand freiwillig benutzt?

I never bought any Apple product and thought they were overhyped, so it might be easy enough for me to say, but no, I personally wouldn’t have been Ok with it.

I can see more people begrudgingly using it if Apple did it though.

“klimafreundlicher E-Fuel” ist ein Märchen.

Tut mir Leid, da nicht technologieoffen zu sein, aber der einzige Grund, weshalb darüber überhaupt geredet wird, ist damit der Verbrennermotor weiterhin verkauft wird. Das Ziel ist nicht von E10 heute auf E100 in 10 Jahren zu kommen, das Ziel ist noch 10 Jahre E10 zu verkaufen, und dann rummaulen das der Sprung nach E100 viel zu plötzlich kommt, und 50% Ethanol ja wohl ausreicht.

The left-leaning parties disappointed me with their posters this election. There was 1 that said “Set a mark against fascists” and showed an anti-afd protest, and another with a similar message.

I know they are the nazi party, I want to know what YOU stand for. I’ll have to guess political scientist found out nobody really changes their mind from a poster, so the only thing they do is remind people of their party that they need to go out and vote.

If that’s the case, the poster may be better than I give it credit for. Still, doesn’t seem to have worked.

Leute auf Fediverse sein wirklich wie “Du glaubst ans Wählen? Das verbleicht in Effektivität zu Nazis kloppen” und kloppen dann keine Nazis.

Ich glaub bei mir bleibt es beim Wählen gegen, höchstens zum startk Anstarren von Nazis. Gibt ja wohl doch so 100 im Wahlbezirk.

Our Minister of transportation has been a disaster for our most climate minded government yet.

He continuously refuses to present any plans on how to reduce emissions in his sector. His emission reduction targets for the past few years were missed, but instead our climate bill was changed so it doesn’t have immediate consequences as long as other sectors meet their targets. Investments in communal and private rail were cut by 20 million €, while 150 Million were given to Volocopter, a start up for personal-use passenger drones. “State-owned” rail did see minor increases in investments, but most of that money is locked for now until the government and “Die Bahn” company agree on financing it.

The only good new thing in transportation right now is the 49€ a month ticket for all public transport in Germany, and even that fails to make commuters switch to public transport as public transport remains unreliable and inconvenient outside of cities.

Zu beneiden sind die Landwirte ja auch nicht. Der Spritt wird teurer, die Maschinen mit Elektromotor sind schlechter und teurer, auch die mit 'nem Verbrenner darfst du nicht mehr reparieren, das Saatgut gehört dir nicht mehr und Patente darauf werden ohne Besserung verlängert, und dann sind auch noch die Subventionen in Gefahr und der Umweltschutz will dir die billigsten Pestizide wegnehmen.

Da wäre ich auch versucht, mir die Finger in die Ohren zu stecken und zu behaupten, wenn die Regierung einem endlich den Status Quo aufrecht erhält könnte man sich ja auf die Arbeit konzentrieren. Status Quo Partei ist nun mal Rechts/Mitte.

Dass das hier nunmal nicht wirken kann und es definitiv schlimmer kommt wenn man nichts macht, ist egal. Man hatte die letzen 10 Jahre darauf gesetzt, jetzt zieht man es durch.

(Bin weder Landwirt noch Psychologe, so stell ich es mir nur vor. Muss nicht der Wahrheit entsprechen.)

Of course telling past me a thing makes more sense. I have a basic understanding of the past and what I say has a good chance of improving past me’s life.

I cant even imagine what my biggest decision in the next few years is going to be, there’s a good chance whatever I ask will be a waste of time. The wiser of me should dictate what we talk about.

Sorry NorthWestWind, I can’t give credit.

Come back when you’re a little …mmmmmhhhhh richer!
