  • You can’t grow anything in the winter,

    Globalization! And before that, preserves. Good thing is nothing spoils when the world is your fridge/freezer

    don’t the pipes freeze and burst?

    Water mains are buried deep enough that they don’t freeze. Tap water is noticeably colder.

    Is it bad for the roads and bridges?

    Yes. The cold isn’t, but freeze/thaw cycles are. Most asphalt roads needs to be resurfaced every 15 years or so

    Do the homeless freeze to death?

    Yes, but most cities have heated shelters around here where people can come when it gets too cold to sleep outdoors

    The squirrels?

    Northern mammals evolved to handle it

    What about reptiles, snakes and lizards?

    What are those?





  • You are missing the point, it’s not “4.5 hours a week of work” vs “absolutely nothing”, it’s 4.5 hours of work vs however long to have to work to pay for the ingredients, plus the time to make the food. If I spend an hour meal prepping and it takes me an hour and a half to pay for the ingredients, eating out at lunch only costs me 2 additional hours of my time, not 4.5

    I also don’t know what meal you are preparing where chopping veggies, searing meat, packaging and cleaning up afterwards only takes 20 minutes. Even making chili, which is the prototypical “throw everything in a pot” recipe takes me north of an hour when all is said and done








  • Like once a month we have a fake site pop up using the name of our business with 1-2 characters changed. They use a web crawler to scrape all the content off our domain and they re-host all of our products on a woocommerce site where they steal our customers credit card information.

    These all use cloudflare to conceal the hosting providers, who are entirely non-responsive without a police report or WIPO ruling. When all is said and done, the content is being hosted in China, Russia, or South Africa, meaning the only way to remove the content is from the registrar’s, because they are the only link in the chain that actually has to comply

    Ok, not in the US so idk. the last CFL bulb I bought was long before 2009.

    Either way, the brain still uses more power than a 13W CFL, and the tumblr post is from 2018, and the Reddit post is even more recent. “It would have been technically correct if it was posted 20 years ago” doesn’t really change the fact that it’s not true anymore
