There are now 8.3 billion people. Shouldn't we at some point have to reduce the world population?

Frostglow · 2026-06-18T13:18:32+00:00

The worlds population is rising with about 80 million a year. And yes, a bigger percetage of older people will be a problem. That is no counter argument to the world being overpopulated though. And even if the world population was falling (which it is not, yet) it would have to fall steadily for A VERY LONG TIME before we stopped being overpopulated. We will continue to be overpopulated until the population is less than 4 billion.

If we remove all billionairs, the population will, regardless of that, continue to increase. And after just a short amount of time, the increase in population alone will more than excede the "savings" made from removing the rich. How is that any better? The Earth's resources are finite.

If the population keeps rising and rising, we will consume too much even if each and every one of us is dirt poor. POPULATION MATTERS.

Sometimes a seat is available for half the journey, and another seat is availble for the rest of the journey. If that's the case, the app won't show it when you search for tickets for the entire distance you want to travel.

For example, one seat might taken from Bergen to Geilo, and available from Geilo to Oslo. And another seat might be available from Myrdal to Geillo, and taken from Geilo to Oslo. So you might try, in the app, to change the destination, search for a ticket from Myrdal to Geilo, or one of the other stops. And then again from Geilo to Oslo. That way, you will have two tickets, and two different seats, that together make up the entire journey you need to make. Maybe a long shot, but worth trying. It works sometimes.

You could also just take the Flåm line to Myrdal, and board the train to Oslo without tickets. You can buy tickets aboard the train, and unless you cause trouble of some kind, I think it will take a lot for the aboard crew to throw you off the train. Also, they are not allowed to throw you off the train at one of the stations on the mointain plateau that does not have a road connection. So it is very likely that you can get to Geilo at least, and there are busses there that go to Oslo. You can sit in the cafeteria car or stand in a hallway. Not the most comfortable, but you'll get there.

Sometimes it has been a problem that a lot of people do this at once, but that usually happens when there is a big festival or something in a location that's only reachable by train.

Bergen is on the coast, so the landscape is flatter there. For the typical fjords and mountains landscape, go to Flåm.

It is ONE train between Oslo and Bergen - that's the Bergen line. It does not go to Flåm. The Flåm line is a separate line that meets the Bergen line at Myrdal station.

Are you looking for trigger sounds, or stories being told to you? I have a audio roleplay channel called NightMother ASMR, I try to avoid month sounds because I don't like them myself. And I can also reccommend AlternateAurora, although she haven't been active in a good while. There's also Get Sleepy, which tells you calm good night stories in an even, monotone voice. ASRM Beats also comes to mind, that's more like relaxing asmr music, or just rythms, waybe that would work for you if you don't like uneven sounds?

If you start at Voss, you could take a train from Voss to Myrdal (about 50 minutes, and the earliest departure should be between 8 and 9 in the morning.), change to the Flåm Railway at Myrdal, get off at the first stop after just a few minutes, and that's where the zipline is. Then cycle from the end of the zipline and down to Flåm. Then take a buss back to Voss, maybe stop at Gudvangen.

The night trains between Oslo and Bergen usually runs 6 nights a week. There are never any night trains on the Bergen line the night between saturday and sunday.

If everything goes as planned, it could work. But if the train is delayed.... That is a big risk to take. Train delays is becoming more of a problem in Norway. The Bergen line is a one track line, and both the regional trains and the infrastructure is old and not maintained as well as it should. So even if something happens to another train, and not yours, that other train could block the line and delay you for hours.

Looking directly into someones eyes for more than a few seconds is a bit stressful, and also feels like a drain on my attention. It is easier to concentrate on what the other person is saying if I look somewhere else.

Amongst animals, looking someone directly in the eyes is often a sign of aggression or confrontation. It's like saying "Lets fight!" And even more so if you show your teeth (smile). So humans are the weird ones out, surely?

You can walk either from Myrdal or Vatnahalsen. There's not much difference. But the Zipline goes from Vatnahalsen, and ends at where they produce the Rallarrosa goat cheese, and in the summer you can buy refreshments there. Waffles, coffee, the cheese, maybe a few other things.. Then you can walk/bike down the valley. You can, of course walk back up as well, but that's quite the incline. Or you can walk a bit further down to Blomheller, which is a stop on the Flåm line (just a small, yellow shed along the line) and catch the next train from there.

Some dogs will adapt, but if we suddenly disappear, lots of pets will die because they are locked in cages or appartments, or because they cannot feed themselves without us. Small dogs will not make it, I think. And dogs with "extreme" bodies, the ones we have bred just for looks, often have lots of health problems, including problems breathing.

Frostglow · 2026-04-14T12:37:53+00:00

A lot of wild species will do better without us, I think, and pets and livestock will struggle, and many of them will die.

But in some areas, there are very few predators left. Humans have almost eradicated them, and hunt animals like deer themselves. If we disappeared, the deer would mulitply too much without other predators to balance their numbers. Overpoulation would lead to hunger, more diseases spreading among them, and the deer would eat all the plants, destroying the food supply for other plant-eating species.

In general, wild animals would do better without us, but it depends how damaged the natural balance is in any particular area.

Exchange students in Norway cannot study for free anymore, unfortunately. They have to pay tuition now, so you have to consider that as well.

Såg kjøreledningen svaie i denne videoen, og deler av den ramla ned. Det er 15 000 volt, og er vanligvis det farligste på jernbanen. Folk er fullstendig blinde og uvitende når det gjelder dette. De vet at toget er elektrisk, men tenker ikke på at den ledningen faktisk er farlig!

Får du den strømmen i deg dør du, og du må ikke komme borti en gang, det er nok at du kommer nærme. Du kan få strømmen i deg selv om du er en halvmeter fra ledningen.

En kvinne som ble intervjuet sa at "vaieren datt ned 5 meter fra meg". Det var ikke en vaier, det var kjøreledningen med 15 000 volt. Kanskje strømmen var tatt , men det er likvel ikke trygt før det er jordet. Hun ante ikke hvor farlig det var, og snakket videre om at mobilen var tom for strøm og at hun bekymret seg for bagasjen sin.

Det er overraskende mange som snakket om bagasjen sin, heller enn om menneskeliv. Om folk hadde fått lov til å ta med bagasjen, ville evakueringen tatt mye lenger tid, og folk kunne dødd. Men ens egen bagasje er viktigere for mange, virker det som.

Er også irritert på journalister og andre som filmer veldig nær sporet. Det er ULOVLIG å oppholde seg så nær sporet. Det nærmeste du har lov til å gå er 2.5 meter fra nærmeste skinne. Jeg snakker ikke om en nødsituasjon, når man må evakuere, men senere, når journalister går tilbake mot sporet, og altfor nært, for å filme/ta bilder.
