“Platformers don’t exist outside of niche steam games”, said Elephant Mario as he slowly faded into nothingness, while a stream of tears ran down his face. A moment later the trombones finally stopped playing. He was gone.

Ok, explain how it is true that every human purely by being born is equally culpable, and that human society isn’t at issue? And then you can explain why this doesn’t apply to you and your family.

It is absolutely not a fact. There is nothing inherent about any human being that causes damage to the environment. It’s what human society as we organize it does, and a very small number of people do an incredibly outsized proportion of the damage. Focusing on things like birth control and overpopulation is a major part of ecofascist rhetoric. It is also very much about punishing a distant other because after all, if you really believed that all human births were inherently damaging to the environment, we wouldn’t be having this conversation as you would have already undone the damage caused by your own parents. But you haven’t, and nor should you for many good reasons! Those reasons also apply to everyone else too.

That’s ecofascism.

Yeah, if chatbot hallucinations don't kill the internet first, then it will be killed by all of those kids who were given iPads as toddlers. Either way, the internet's days are numbered.

Word’s metric conversion does kinda suck though. It should probably say “about 5 tonnes”.

Yay, happy hail Satan day everyone. I remember when Intel chickened out and rounded up their 666 megahertz pentium 3 processors to report as being 667 megahertz. Absolute cowards, no wonder China is kicking their ass.

The main reason TVs have dropped in price is because under surveillance capitalism the TV watches you. On a lot of models more money is made from all of the spyware and adtech that comes with TV than from the sale of the TV itself.

Why explain it through perfectly straightforward concepts like patriarchy or fragile masculinity when you can explain it through imaginary prehistoric sex rituals?

The original "keep America beautiful" ad you're joking about was a lone Italian man with a single tear. The biggest polluters in America that funded that greenwashing blame-shifting noble savage ad campaign hired a guy named Espera Oscar DeCorti.
