Horses ARE Forever
  • Horses are only fast because of the shape of their four long legs. You can't just give someone a carrot and long ears and expect them to be a horse. That just makes them a cat rabbit.

  • Meat rule, neat rule
  • Cows right now isn't even grass, they're fed mostly grown crops. The trophic energy loss at each stage is generically 10% , so plants to cow to human you lose 90% of the energy each time. So for eating meat you only get 1% of that energy from the sun. If you ate wolves who ate cows it would be .1%.

    For energy this will, once it's at scale, be able to be more energy efficient pretty easily. Because for one cow you have to have the entire life of the parent animal then wait 2 years for the animal to grow up. It has to eat and move around and waste energy that entire time. Less than half of that animal has the desired final product, so you waste more there. So the idea is that with growing this you just start with some cells and then increase their size until you get enough and then package that.

  • Dammit, I forgot!
  • But all those estimates might be wrong, cars are being electrified faster and the way China basically made all the solar panels worldwide they are making a ton of super cheap EVs. They are cheap and not amazing but they crucially will mean the global south will probably use them and not buy a billion more ice cars.

    Demand for oil might drop sharply while there is still plenty of supply in 20-30 years.

  • Dammit, I forgot!
  • All species spread from when they evolve as far as they can based on their niche. Humans just happen to be competitive in every environment. But lots of plants and animals have spread to every part of the earth, they're just not as noticeable.

  • Dammit, I forgot!
  • That's incorrect. We will not run out of oil. The eroei will go up and increasingly everything will be electrified with cheap solar and wind. Coal is already uncompetitive by price.That's not to say we won't have massive warming but demand will start to decline and we will never actually run out of oil.

  • Trump warned automakers not to raise prices after his tariffs and be happy how ‘great’ they are
  • That's the sam brownback concept, but even though he was so terrible Kansas switched to a democratic governor they still voted Republican federally. So it's not like the real maga people will ever be contrite, they'll just blame people who hindered trump no matter what.

  • PROTEIN BRO
  • That's not a biochemist, memorizing the amino acids is literally biochem 1 on college. Most people with a biology undergrad take that.

    Being a biochemist is more about understanding the whole system of how proteins interact, and not really about memorization of any specific protein.
