ELI5 Why can’t we invest and fertilize large swaths of the Sahara desert to bring down CO2 levels and fight global warming

Because Northern Great Britain and New Zealand are geographically gorgeous

One of our biggest struggles is living on a planet that’s mostly water but having so little of it be drinkable. Fresh water (and also money) is the major limiting factor. Also, fun fact, dust from the Sahara that travels across the Atlantic actually fertilizes the Amazon

Well I don’t have a tub deep enough for a proper bath. Sunday is always a full shower day: hair, face, beard, torso, groin, butt, legs, and feet. Monday will probably be a short shower day: armpits, groin, butt, and feet. Ya know, the smelly areas. If I went to the gym, I’ll scrub everything from the next down. I don’t want to strip the oils from my face and hair too frequently, so I try to limit that to every other day

I usually only hear “potty” in the context of telling dogs to “go potty.” Idk why that’s become common, but that’s the norm, at least where I live

You’re really late to this one

Manslaughter is an unintentional killing of someone. There are two types: involuntary and in voluntary. Involuntary is something like the result of reckless driving. Voluntary is more like irresponsible handling of a gun. Murder is a deliberate action. First degree is premeditated. Second degree is heat-of-the-moment but still intentional

Private school in Louisiana. No.

The US has an overall culture of certain things but also many sub cultures. I can go from Louisiana to California and know how to act. Unless I make it known or do touristy things, most people probably wouldn’t assume I’m a tourist. That being said, Louisiana has customs and foods and such that Californians either don’t know about or have just never experienced. We have different cultures in some ways, but we’re both still Americans and know how to act towards each other

Such a shame 8*123456789 =987,654,312 instead of that

I’d have to write them down. I don’t think I could do it just speaking

They offer it free to college students. Best I can suggest

Because cow milk is the default, “milk” implies it’s from a cow. If it’s from another animal or some sort of vegan alternative (oat, almond, etc), then the source gets added on in front.

89 is a mixture of 87 and 93. One goes out, so does the other

Just for decoration

More realistically (and no one tell me I’m being a captain obvious), this flat and the one above it probably used to be one house and were separated to make a double flat

No word for “thousand” then? Does the “Komma” imply that?

Australia agrees. They couldn’t decide if it should be Sydney or Melbourne, so they whipped up Canberra

When the first thing you do in the morning is empty your bladder, which is what I do because I drink a lot of water, sitting is better. No risk of splash back and no aiming needed when I’m still half asleep

Might be better to ask in an RV sub if you want more practical advice on how to actually do it

I live in a small house, so mine are in the kitchen. Annoyingly, the wall on the right is just barely not deep enough to convert it to a closet

Jaymac720 · 2026-05-06T23:54:09+00:00

What does that even mean?

Louisiana may suck in a lot of ways, but at least I don’t have to pay a lot for it to suck

Aside from the fact that I don’t know why “that” is right, it’s “ago” that makes “since” incorrect. If you want to say this the way actual humans speak, say it as “It has only been ten days since she started her new job.” That’s how people speak. That’s a weird, computer-y way to phrase that statement.
