Why don't we just gather up all the ocean's trash and all the nonrecyclables, put them in a rocket, and launch it into the sun? in c/nostupidquestions

A rocket could lift 100-150 tonnes of trash. We have about 60 billion tonnes of trash.

If I put it away I might never know it exists again. On the other hand the clutter means I can’t find what’s right in front of me. It’s hell in here.

I’m planning on porting my Wordpress site to this. I haven’t used it yet but based on what I’ve read it will be easier than Hugo.

A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source in c/fediverse

It’s easy block keywords so you don’t get dancing or politics, or at least, you can reduce it. The algorithm is also very good at serving your interests so if someone tells me all they’re seeing is dancing videos then it tells me they’ve been lingering on those for some reason :)

I’ve also found it a great resource for novel and practical info about:

  • Cooking
  • ADHD & Autism
  • Music production with Logic Pro
  • Human rights news
  • Creativity

I like it for language learning. The books gets tedious as hell but some people have excellent short videos to help remember things and hear them pronounced by native speakers.

I never got the email either so I’m curious too. I’ll save this post.

My heartbeat is very uncomfortable when sleeping on my left. Apparently it’s a common problem. Sleeping on my right solves this for me.

I see sellers saying estimated delivery time is mid-2025 if I order now. Should I wait until supply improves? I do want the hardback.

"The battery game" (self.digitalminimalism)
 

I heard a kid today talking with friends about how they play the "battery game" every day to help them stay off their phone. The goal is simply to have as high a battery percentage on your phone as possible when you get home. Interesting, isn't it?!

Togo is one of the poorest countries in the world and the school uniform is one of the biggest expenses for students and families. Article: https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/school-uniform-that-grows

Email from Google: "Time is running out: Set up conversion measurement with the Google tag". Is this change still coming since they bailed on 3rd-party cookies? (self.google)

The email said: "Technology updates, such as Google Chrome's plans to deprecate third-party cookies in 2024, are changing the ways you reach audiences and measure results. Build a strong foundation for measuring your ads with the Google tag. Delaying could impact the performance of your ads and features, such as remarketing and conversion measurement."

Now I see that they've changed their minds[1] and so I wonder if I need to do anything with my website.

Are there any good critical thinking courses online? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I’m interested in helping friends tell the difference between fact and fiction, truth and hearsay and general stuff like that that gives peace of mind that they can defend themselves from gaslighting, makes life easier to live, and harder to be taken advantage of by propaganda. Just a few examples.

Bonus points if it’s free. I see one on coursera that runs for four hours per week for several months which works out at roughly over €100 https://www.coursera.org/specializations/logic-critical-thinking-duke

Is there a disconnect between the Alien movies Prometheus (2012) and Covenant (2017)? (self.movies)
submitted 5 months ago by FarraigePlaisteach to c/movies

I’ve just rewatched Prometheus and at the end the lead character has said “I don't want go to back to where we came from. I want to go where they came from.” Herself and David then take off.

In the follow up movie (Covenant), they end up in another uninhabited place. I can barely remember the movie but was so disappointed by this given I had even expecting something different since 2012 😂

I don’t plan on rewatching Covenant. Can anyone explain that apparent disconnect I have?
