I love asbestos 😍😍😍

It's great if you can't get hold of any talc. And now you can make your own: simply boil your tap water until there's only a mysterious powder in the pan. Be careful, though. Your homemade asbestos may be contaminated with uranium, so don't use it on children! Save it up over winter and use it in summer for a bit of oomf in your barbecue instead.

It's only fair that they get intoxicated with their own shit as a country that pollutes the most.

[–] sub_ubi@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The people being poisoned are rarely the people responsible.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

No, just a government, spokesman for certain lobbies, which encourages and keeps them in ignorance

Pollutes the most in what context? Per Capita, yes. But it is not the country that pollutes the most, total.

So how was the water contaminated so much? The biggest culprits of climate change are the energy companies with fossil energy, despite the fact that they knew for half a century the impact that CO2 has, due to their own research in the 80s, not to reduce it, but to calculate how it will affect the rise in sea ​​level to their offshore oil rigs, spending millions to hide it and spread misinformation about the climate impact of their activities.

They blocked the decisions of the climate summit on several occasions with their veto. That now with the catastrophes that accumulate, they begin to wake up and switch to renewable energy does not change anything of their guilt.

Humanity was warned by scientists who warned of the dire consequences of pollution since the time of the industrial revolution and they turned a deaf ear, because quick profits were more important and applauded by an ignorant population that did not believe in climate change, since that what God has created cannot be changed by man, an argument heard in interviews with people in 2015.

And yet China continues to be the largest emitter of pollution in the world. The rivers and streams in India are completely filled to the brim with trash and industrial runoff foam. Cry all you want, but I'm glad to live in the US and not some other shit hole like those I mentioned.

Of course not, naturally he was not a communist in the Marxist scientific sense, perhaps if he had read Marx some more things would have occurred to him, it can simply be said that he was trying to spread a little more social justice and equality in a rather beastly society . In this sense, some things coincided with a communist ideology, at least in part. Much more in any case cannot be expected in an ignorant and superstitious society, which ~~fucked~~ sacrificed goats to have a good harvest. Even so, it became clear later that he was too uncomfortable for the rulers and Roman invaders.

Isn't it great when beer comes straight from the faucet?

[–] shreddy_scientist@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That'd be much healthier than what is in the water provided to 84% of the country :/

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They should come to Portland! We make sure that we serve excellent water from the faucet and excellent beer from the beer tap, not the other way around.

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd be careful bragging about that kind of luxury, you'll have Nestlé knocking at your door.

Crap, it's too late. They already have a facility here. At least it's on Marx St, so he's keeping an eye on it.
