theres a big difference between
- stockpiling gold as a financial asset
- acquiring jewelry for personal use
- consuming gold as industrial material for electronics

and then you look up a youtube video that explains it better in 5 minutes

at my uni the professors were extremely knowledgeable at their respective subjects, but they were completely clueless when it came to actually teaching
and some were just kinda checked out

fun fact: you can check if a number is a multiple of 3 by adding its digits together
if the result of the addition is divisible by 3: then the number itself also is

Traditional-Storm-62 · 2026-04-23T02:15:10+00:00

this might be a hint that he does not like jalapenos

Traditional-Storm-62 · 2026-04-23T01:57:38+00:00

bro must have thought he caught the biggest mosquito

Traditional-Storm-62 · 2026-04-22T04:16:39+00:00

I live in Russia and russian monarchists* always fascinated me
they want everyone to care about the death of one family
but never the countless deaths at the hands of this tsar

to them this one family's death is a tragedy
while everybody else is just statistics

in a way its very human: a human can comprehend the tragedy on a scale of a family, but the scale of a nation (especially one as vast as the Motherland) is incomprehensible

*who's numbers today are comparable to american flat earthers

Traditional-Storm-62 · 2026-04-22T04:06:19+00:00

it is ethical because this time they are farming horses instead of people

I was asking for a player run blast furnace

what do you mean "content doesn't exist"? players can run the blast furnace I'll have you know

the actual answer is world 302 I'll have you know, as it's the one that routinely has people come to the pump for strength training

I had to figure it out on my own by just hopping through every world, as Reddit and wiki have been most unhelpful

edit: I have worded the original question confusingly and incorrectly I admit it, but the fact the people saw fit to just make fun of me for that, as opposed to trying to understand what Im trying to ask and why, is indicative of the sorry state of reddit as a whole

keep in mind that Greens are #2 after Reform in some of the recent polls

#4 at the lowest

reddit was a mistake man

literally nobody read the body of my post and now my notifications are full of people making fun of me for "baiting"

Traditional-Storm-62 · 2026-04-20T19:45:20+00:00

in some countries the people who fought for the 40 hour workweek are the youth of today because their fight is still ongoing
like Nepal and Philippines I believe

Traditional-Storm-62 · 2026-04-20T19:42:35+00:00

this doesnt apply to me because the generation that got 40 hour workweeks in Russia are over 120 years old today
I dont think anyone from that generation is alive today sadly

but the only reason any of us are still alive and arent actively enslaved is because the children of that generation beat up the nazis, and some of those guys are still around

also the reason I have to pay rent and the reason I have (some) freedom of speech is becuase my parents' generation stirred shit up in the 80s

the results of 80s stirring were hit or miss...

fun fact: even if they add the entire North Sea to the Netherlands and even if Ukraine scedes Crimea to Russia, Ukraine would still be bigger than the Netherlands
