it was the plant that did the growing, the humans merely stand by and watched. that is why all the food should actually belong to the plants.

wrong community. that’s not dull at all (/jk of course ^^)

Two years in a tin can, touch down on mars with a frail crew, liftoff from mars which needs a lot of fuel, two years in a tin can…

The plan is indeed not to go there, take a nice pic, return home. The plan (at least mine and of many other people) is to go there and stay there permanently, from the first human-carrying ship onwards. Lift support systems, tools, equipment will have to be brought along of course, but keeping people alive on Mars is not more difficult than keeping them alive on the ISS (which is a closed tin can as well btw, and people routinely spend 6 months up there).

The advantage of Mars over the ISS is that settlers on mars have access to raw material resources all around them, including rock (hydrated minerals), which can be used as a source of water, carbon dioxide (and with it a source of carbon, which is the building block for a lot of materials), and metal ores. all of these can be turned into useful materials through a process known as ISRU (In-Situ Resource Utilization, in other words on-site resource usage), which can then be used to reduce imports from Earth and to grow the settlement outwards autonomously. That’s the difference to just “living in a tin can”.

😍 now i want some

not naming numbers for this phenomenon is a bad habit. because yeah, some crazy nutjobs exist in every place. how many are they though?

where does it say 20-30 million people? on the page it says he had 30’000 followers:

By 1850, Hong had between 10,000 and 30,000 followers.

i was introduced to it by a lemmy user 2 weeks ago. joelle@blahaj.zone i think was their name?

1 Pa = 1 N/m² (says wikipedia). So 200 N/m² would be 200 Pa.

understandable 🥲

i … don’t hate it

i know what this is referring to!

Let Your Love Flow - Bellamy Brothers Lyrics i love that song 😍😍

what makes you think that an industry told me that?

Even better: i just saw this:

you can even download a personal copy of all the games on the entire archive! for those of us who make backups of things.

yeah, washing it more than 1x or 2x a week makes it first dry, then oily, itchy and less hygienic overall. don’t over-wash.

just a note to anyone who didn’t know this: if your scalp suddenly starts being itchy in your 20s, that’s an early sign of hair loss and you can prevent it with medicine. however the medicine is only effective before the hair falls out, not after it.

ramen is just one-pot.

i remember a while ago i read that the average wealth of a black person in (new york? or somewhere else?) was $8. fucking $8. it’s still running through my head. wtf

sry but with a long wall-of-text like this, i doubt you’ll convince anyone. few people will have the time to even read that.

if you’re on linux, you can do sudo apt update and then sudo apt install minetest to install it, then you should get a start menu entry called “Luanti” and just click that to launch.

(it could be that the package is called luanti on your system instead of minetest, depending on what repository you use. they renamed it at some time.)
