For centuries, the deep, resonant songs of blue whales have travelled across entire oceans, carrying messages between the planet’s largest creatures. Now, these voices are fading. A new six-year study off California’s coast suggests that marine heatwaves and noise pollution are altering the soundscape of the sea, and scientists warn the silence signals serious trouble.

But maybe we’ll at least get transparent aluminum out of it.

We already have that, was patented in like 1980. It's what bulletproof glass is made from.

We have that; it's what high-end phone screens (among other things) are made of.

Why are we putting punk at the end of everything now?

That doesn't answer the question of why people are doing it

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

That's because your question is clearly prejudiced so people don't want to be nice to you.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Prejudiced against what? I have no idea what your niche terminology is referring to

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

-punk is to millenials what -core is to genZ

I appreciate the effort but that didn't help me much. I've seen both in various contexts before but I can't tell if it means anything specific in either case.
