Let's just end large language modeling, at the very least.
solarpunk memes
For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Because it's all their fault, look away from the banks
We could quite easily solve this global crisis by investing more.
In guillotines.
Is blahaj competing with lemmygrad and hexbear for the most extremist instance nowdays?
Is it not extremist to burn the world down for your 100th yatch, 700th second vacation estate, 4000th impluse buy car, 3rd private jet?
Some people will jump on a comment about guillotines and say that's it's a call to violence.
But in practice, you're never going to get a billionaire into a guillotine by strongarming them with a mob. They're usually too well protected or reclusive.
The guillotine is more of a reminder of the historical context of how the common people express their dissatisfaction with the ruling class.
It's not okay to kill people. But they are killing us. It might not look like a direct effect because they're not walking through the streets shooting people. They're just "steering us headlong into apocalyptic climate disaster." This way they can kill far more people than by walking through the streets shooting people. And while that might not necessarily be their intention, it is the effect they're having on the world.
If it's not about literally killing them then using that language is completely counter productive. Say what you mean and mean what you say. You wouldn't give this charitable view to what your opponent is saying either.
Yeah, maybe we should just do away completely with metaphor, memes, and rhetoric. That will surely be a fun way to live.
But you're right. I wouldn't give my opponent a charitable view if they were saying something like this. Because they have ludicrously more resources than I do and a history of enacting harm.
This isn't a call to violence. That would require a specific group or person to be called out with a plan to cause harm.
They're very clearly joking.
Guillotines are far too clunky.
About the composting - if you live in a region which has a professional compositing facility, properly sort your rubbish and don't compost on your own.
Composting emits a lot of greenhouse gases and professional facilities capture them and use them in less harmful ways. So if we were all in-house composting our bio-garbage it would be more harmful for the environment than using communal services.
It's a little bit different for gardening products - those first capture greenhouse gases and would rot on ground anyway so composting kinda balances out. But still, for example if you're cutting your grass just leave it on the ground and rake it. This way it's not gonna rot and will fertilize your lawn.
I think its interesting that people in the west only realized the danger capitalism posed when it started affecting their weather, while the rest of the world has been filling graveyards for decades because of it.
Its almost like everyone knew the whole time.
You get punished in American schools for daring to suggest that maybe we shouldn't be solely focused on grades and wages.
Eat the rich (compost the scraps)
the AC helps mitigate the effects of climate change (for me).
If the only gardening related activity a person is doing is composting, that might be a net addition to climate change, not a mitigation. Most forms of composting cause C02 to off-gas, enough so that it's often recommended to keep compost piles near trees or other vegetation so those plants can absorb some of those emissions and benefit from them.
Back it up one second will yah, what was that third thing you said?
