Norway To Start Hiding Its Standard Of Living To Make Other Countries Feel Better About Themselves
  • Another point for nuclear, it actually works when it's not sunny and windy. Hot still days in the summer when everyone wants AC? No wind power. Terrible winter days that are super windy with no sun? Still no wind power because the wind is now too strong and will hurt the turbines, and no sun. Where's the heat coming from? Renewable sources are great, but the amount of storage they would need to be practical as a primary source of electricity is a bit prohibitive.

  • Let them eat cereal rule
  • A box of cereal is like $6 and all sugar. It will provide 3-4 bowls of cereal for that price, with no actual nutrition. If you can afford a box of cereal a day, you can live on instant noodles instead for like 3 days and have the 20 for a brand new rice cooker. Or just go to the thrift store.

    Cereal is not a poor person food. It is not nutritious, cheap, or filling. It is an expensive box of sugar. I get that it can be hard to imagine conditions we haven't personally experienced, but it can't be THAT hard to do basic math and put yourself in that situation for one second to understand that eating cereal for every meal is not cheap or sustainable.

  • Study: 100% of meat and dairy companies have lobbied against environmental and climate policies
  • They couldn't be top 10 if they supported those initiatives. It's selection bias. Only the ones who couldn't possibly support those policies and still be in their position are counted. It's pretty misleading, even if it's a large portion. Besides, it's the 10 largest US companies. There's a bunch not in the US, obviously the US doesn't make up 100% of the industry. It's just the place that's most concerned with profit over anything else, it seems.

  • Fellow home owners, are you ready for the housing market to crash?
  • I'm just trying to build wealth and just entered the market, so I'm not too excited for me, but it needs to happen. It's a basic necessity that the majority of people can't afford, how is that okay? I will lose a bunch if the market crashes and probably never be able to achieve my goals, but its not very feasible right now anyway. I wanted a hobby farm, thats never going to happen regardless. Something has to change.

  • I know this isn't fuck bad parking...
  • That's very dependent on there actually being another way to get around. Public transit isn't good everywhere, people still need to be able to go get groceries and things. Most people are not trying to cause inconvenience to others, they are just trying to live their lives.

  • TIL In the Hot Coffee lawsuit against McDonalds,punitive damages were given due to McDonalds intentionally overheating coffee to save money on refills
  • Except the temp they were serving at was above regulations. They had been warned multiple times and got multiple complaints. Those regulations exist for a reason, this case demonstrates why. Because people don't deserve to have their labia fused together because a coffee spilled in the drive thru.

  • Man accused of raping, waterboarding girlfriend in her university dorm room for days until she escaped
  • Some people have mental health issues of various forms, learning disabilities, traumatic brain injury.... there are lots of other reasons you should still be able to defend yourself. The training from other parents doesn't negate the threat. Don't advocate for being helpless.

  • Why is it frowned upon here to 'steal' content from reddit?
  • Having a bunch of posts taken from another site with no real interaction with OP or anyone else isn't driving traffic here, it's boring the people who come here for discussion. The actual user posts will get drowned out by the huge number of reddit scraped posts. If something is interesting and fits a community here, post it. But scraping reddit to lemmy isn't really helping as much as it might seem.

  • logical
  • Its pretty useful information when you're converting recipes. Most measuring sets don't come with a 1/8 cup or smaller, so it's pretty helpful in the case that you end up with a small fraction of a cup.

  • 'FUCK SPEZ': Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest
  • Because abusive relationships force people to stay in them for reasons people who haven't been in that situation could never understand. Seems you haven't been, so you drag people who have. Women, specifically. Fun!

  • Splitting the rent.
  • Why would I have someone live for free in my house who doesn't contribute to the expense of upkeep? Ie, a freeloader. That's what rent is. Sorry, a partner doesn't expect their SO to pay their way for them just because they pay a mortgage payment instead of a rent payment. Add to that, now since it is a mortgage payment, any repairs and other incidentals are paid for by the owner as well. Does this person get to just break things and expect the partner to pay for it? That's another thing rent covers. Why have a partner that is more expensive than being alone? Why have a partner at all?
