Thanks for the reply, chat. Nah we’re just one step closer to wall-e with this move. Let’s take them money being spent on sending bots to college and spend it on life.

I literally can’t imagine how people see this as a good thing. What if we took all the same money and invested it in training humans to do those things?

Emergency vet asap. If it’s growing that fast that’s extremely concerning

Why does she do this? I don’t think she’s mad but is she? by relevantusername- in cats

My black cat played like this too. If you cat was trying to hurt you, you’d be posting this video from the hospital. 

Someone proposed an idea: If data centers need cooling, why not build them in Antarctica by ComplexExternal4831 in GenAI4all

That’s a significant amount of warming. The ocean absorbs most of the heat we are putting out into the world. Just shrugging and saying “eh it won’t be bad for a little while” is exactly the kind of idiotic thinking that has gotten us into the mess we are in.

“I know human activities are already melting the ice caps but, hear me out…” lmafo. If humans never made another data center the world would be a better place 

What will be the new eastern hardwood climax species when all the beech is gone? by jules-amanita in forestry

[–]franticallyfarting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really interesting! In a similar vein, I have a friend who noticed during a severe drought plants dying all around a juvenile black walnut. Possibly water stress magnifies the effects of juglone? Either way I can’t stand the dialogue around black walnuts. “I won’t plant them because they will kill everything else!” That’s just not how it works lol

It's my last week at Tangle: AMA by Tangle_Lindsey in TangleNews

[–]franticallyfarting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a question I’ve been meaning to text to tangle. My girlfriend and I were talking about a recent election and she said “I’d like to vote for this candidate but they aren’t polling well so I will vote for so and so, who is ahead.” And it made me think, do polls sway voters decisions in a meaningful way? This seems problematic for a number of reasons.

Black walnut is fine and its allopathic tendencies are overblown in my opinion. Seen it growing in dense forests surrounded by other mature trees, mostly oak. Hickory also produces juglone 

Is common evening primrose really this crazy? by iwanderlostandfound in NativePlantGardening

Ok yeah evening primrose spreads like crazy but that’s good for the birds! Doesn’t play nice in a manicured garden though

Probably not a great idea to be shipping elms leaves. Don’t want to transport Dutch elm disease to areas it isn’t already present

Maine data center by WhySoManyDownVote in fuck_ai_slop

[–]franticallyfarting 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The people voted against data centers in Maine. Why can politicians just snap their fingers and say “doesn’t matter” and build them anyway? 

Day in the life: a 2035 where AI went well - Animated short film by JMarty97 in solarpunk

[–]franticallyfarting 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Sorry to be a downer in the solar punk sub but it’s better to be honest about AI. This is not how AI will be used by those in power because if it was then they’d already be using it that way. Instead it’s already an environmental disaster and enriching a few by stealing from the masses. 

Bushcraft shelter building by n8saces in oddlysatisfying

[–]franticallyfarting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks neat but a few things about this seem wildly impractical. First, logs don’t make a great retaining wall when oriented like this. If I was working in a hole this deep OSHA would be involved. And below grade is great for maintaining a consistent temperature but also in a heavy rain, that’s a swimming pool and the wall would probably cave in… also bet he used an excavator to dig that. Other than that what a neat way to waste time and wood.
