I like your optimism, fairly unrealistic but the optimism is nice to see

On this point, it would be stupidly hard.

Just from a programming and software perspective. All the old code that runs banks and the back end of air travel. It barely runs as it is, do a switch up of years, even leaving the months alone and it would probably freak out. Standadize the months while you are at it and the whole thing falls apart.

Are you old enough to remember Y2K? That required a lot of techs to spend a huge amount of time fixing code that was never intended to see years change from 19xx to now just even consider 20xx.

That is before we go about changing paper Birth Documents, marriage documents, house deads, ..... Should I go on?

The amount of people addicted to caffeine who don't even know it is crazy high.

The costs of withdrawing for some are higher than others, so for these people quitting isn't just a day or two of headaches, and possibly their life doesn't afford them the luxury of going through the pain and low productivity

Many factors play into it rather than just low self control, in case you're wondering why you got down voted.

A good chunk of my work is scheduled turning off and on again in the right order so things don't break

This is an unexpected benefit of being in Switzerland. Here I was thinking it was more or less a marketing thing

I mean in some ways what percentage of emissions come from NZ? The whole country could disappear and it would barely make a difference.

Surely they have bigger things to focus on?

For those looking to get into the IT space, this doesn't seem very promising.

Has anyone else on the ground felt the impacts of these layoffs?

Maybe it is an Australian thing?

In 2009 the school I went to got aircon

I have lived in very few houses that have had aircon, if they did it was evaporative and near useless. The house I am currently in is getting aircon installed next week.

It might be hot in Australia, but mainly we just built houses with insolation and fly screens.

It would be interesting to see this not including infant mortality.

From my understanding that is where most of the "life gain" in graphs like this have come from.

A graph of how much older people are living would be better represented "ignoring" for lack of a better word the babies dying

 

Bit of a different one. I have some credits for audible and I am looking for your favourite books on the subject. Fiction or non fiction it doesn't really matter.

Normally I'd google it and slap "reddit" on the end, but I thought I'd give lemmy a chance to show me some answers

Went to a festival and had 1 day before the festival started. Hiked up the nearby mountain and was greeted with semi frozen lakes and plenty of snow. Being my first time seeing snow it was an amazing day, even got to slide down some of it on my rain jacket.
