Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be poor and how close middle class is to being below the poverty

2·2 days agoHuman meat isn’t going to be very palatable to other humans. Better to compost them and grow something with their remains.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.ca•Do you *envy* other people's lives?
4·6 days agoI just wish I could have had a better health story. Tumor as a baby, shunt breaking at 32, and numerous mental health crises in between.
Captain Holt, is that you?

Technology@lemmy.world•Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warnEnglish
11·15 days agoYeah, mirrors seem like a huge problem. Why not go with photovoltaics - a decades-old, proven technology, and just beam energy to a ground-based storage facility to be used later?
I know some amount will be lost in conversion and transmission, but you could still have underground facilities in cities providing extended daylight for good reasons, like to help people with seasonal affective disorder, or to grow crops out of season.
Thank you. I bought a light therapy lamp years ago. I will have to find it.

World News@lemmy.world•Ireland plans to make a $1,500 a month basic income for artists permanentEnglish
11·1 month agoGood news. I hope Canada gets there, but I doubt we will. We are too focused on oil expansion and infrastructure to pay any mind to the ‘dirty poors’ right now.
If we had kept Petro Canada as a crown corporation past the 1980s, we could be funding UBI NOW, but of course, conservatives fucked that up.
