Interesting, thanks for the fun fact! My kid is absolutely obsessed with learning all things about animals so I’m keeping stuff like this on deck for when he’s a little bit older and can understand. I’ve learned more about animals in the last year watching videos with him than all through school, which is equal parts sad and awesome.

I thought all insects have 6 legs, 2 antenna, and an exoskeleton, therefore worms like mealworms aren’t insects either.

Okay thanks for contributing nothing

The guy I replied to said he didn’t want to die from overheating since he doesn’t have AC.

I replied and said that they make affordable and easy to install AC now as a direct and immediate solution to his issue of not wanting to die from overheating due to not having AC.

You come along and say this is a bandaid solution and makes things worse. Okay sure, that’s true for society as a whole on a large enough timeline, but not true for this individual person in the near future.

So I interpreted this as you saying you wouldn’t install AC in his shoes, but also don’t appear to have an alternative course of action in order to not overheat and die due to not having AC, therefore you’d be the first to die.

So you’re saying you’d be the first to die lmao

They make air conditioners that are relatively cheap, pretty easy to install and take up virtually no space these days. Usually wall mounted.

That’s next level fear. I’d imagine it would be extremely trace amounts if any that you’d end up digesting.

Actually according to the documentary “the Day After Tomorrow,” NY will be the first state underwater from climate change.

There would be challenges, but again, the scenario we are discussing is a world where we literally can’t grow food in the surrounding land.

You can read all about the concept here:

I mean, in the scenario described where we literally can’t grow food in the surrounding land, it’s hard to say what the political landscape or legal institutions even looks like at that point.

We have the technology for indoor skyscraper style farming.

It’s because the “fact” the the fossil fuel industry coined the term climate change is false.

This is the preferred term by scientists, and it has been since before “global warming” became a term.

Politicians and publications that acknowledge the climate crisis should probably start using that term instead of climate change then.

Excuse me I exclusively wore preppy clothes from Abercrombie & Fitch thank you very much

Why not? Just lie lmao

What are friends

Lemmy really needs to add the ability to interact with the rest of the fediverse like mastodon. That’s like…supposed to be the whole point of being part of the fediverse.

Not much discussion here to be of value showing up in search results yet anyway.
