One guy said it makes up for 1.5% of all the energy we use! That's huuuuge. I was joking originally but I'm pretty convinced now.

1.5% of all energy used is huge. Actually insane. I was joking, but you've convinced me that we do actually need to turn all that off. As well as stop shipping so much, flying so much, burning so much oil, etc. But fucj me 10%of all electricity and 1.5% of all energy. Wow.

A lot of people will die because of climate change as well. A lot more, in fact.

What like they moved the sensors closer to the sun?

They are the Bug Bad Evil in my pirate themed DnD campaign. Or a proxy of them at least. What better justification for becoming a pirate than them? To quote a real pirate captain from the 1700, "They rob the poor under cover of law, we plunder the rich under the cover of our own courage."

Thank you, this post reminded me to search for some Lego lems!

An old uni friend of mine from Northern Island made up a word for that thing when you drink in the afternoon and then stop for a bit and you get really tired: "Cafaggerhaggied"

It's sounds much better in a NI accent, though

Some slang from York, UK that was common in my childhood:

Pushknacker - a bicycle, particularly a street bike. Best one on this list, tbh, it's a great word.

Lagin - pronounced la-jin. Means rubbish. Like, "your pushknacker is lagin!"

Weeny - really, as in "that's weeny lagin"

Chava - pronounced char-va, a derogatory term, to be honest I never had any idea what the actual meaning was but it's an insult, as in "ya fuckin chava!". I was confused when the word "chav" suddenly became a thing years later and I've always wondered if they are related or if it's a coincidence.

Ding - what people would now call a chav, also used ad a general insult.

Dingraff - either the full for of ding, or an extension of it, no idea. General insult.

Disco Elysium is so good! I wish I could remove it from my brain and play it fresh again!
