A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Not one single government cares so much about it tho.

Way to generalise, bro. There are some low lying island states that are going to disappear under the rising sea levels. I think they are taking it pretty seriously.

Don't bullshit please.

If people and government really cared that much about it, we all would be living in a totalitarian planetary government, controlling by the milligram every expense that is not calorically viable to post culling population of billions.

Either or they ALL would be pumping up so much nuclear centrals that we be drowning on the almost free energy

Either that, or they ALL would be pushing for the creation and implementation of a totally viable lunar base to construct a full orbital cache of microwave solar emitters, with the accompanying swarm of orbital mirrors to reduce the sun's impact on the atmosphere

We see advance in neither of those

So yeah who's bullshitting who. I know they don't care and don't have to pretend like they do

Your pathological need to believe a blatant lie due to your own powerlessness? That's all on you
