It propably grabbed the info off some random number-confusing dude like me, who recently posted the Earth's diameter would be about 6 km instead of 6000.

Edit: oops, did it again. Meant radius, not diameter...

I guess this is American? I know no other country with that level of prude. Poor kids, actually surprising there aren't more STDs over there.

Someone help this poor bear get some education!

Got it, thank you! I'm not native English and read it like "poh". Like "poking".

This reminds me of a shop I've once saw in Thailand. Apparently there is a common name called "Phorn", sometimes spelled without the "h". You see where this is going. Strolling through the streets of Bangkok I found a shop called "Porn Wedding Photography".

I'm not sure about that as I don't get it. Where is the joke? I just know that pho is a very popular Vietnamese noodle soup.

Land use (and with that agriculture) has a lot to do with emissions. Imagine a forest cleared to farm palm oil. All that stored carbon is now in the atmosphere. Think about the staple crop rice emitting methane, due to the nature of water submerged fields.

If not emissions, water usage is also a big concern. Like farming water intensive crops in areas where water is sparse, just because the crop is very profitable, but maybe not very nutritious.

I always considered dying sleeping one of the better ways to go. But since I woke up some years back, I don't want to fall asleep again. Despite being so tired of all of this!

I was thinking that, too. Afaik there are also water based propellants, at least in testing stage.

Such a interesting time frame to be alive! Humanity is in a race against itself. Losing could not only mean the end of humanity, but of vast forms of life on Earth. And it's an uphill race of common democratic people racing against the rich, who own the means we need to win.

Almost like a movie, however, I feel in a movie there wouldn't be as many people shrugging shoulders and looking away.

Totally agree. I just witnessed my sister delivering her baby a few days back.

I agree. Plus I am unsure if there would be a way to make the data more readable or if I'm just too dumb to read that properly.

Love the "gas" label in your second picture. There was no need at all to tilt letters, but I guess it would not keep the theme of "thrown together" if it was straight text.

Also what is with all that background white in between the graphs? Is it electricity demand that didn't get meet by any means? Asking jokingly.
