Kaboom , in Singapore has approved 16 insects to eat as food: here’s everything you need to know

No, I dont think I’ll eat bugs

CluckN ,

The lizard overlords demand that you eat bugs.

You’d think they’d rather you didn’t so there’s more for them.

BaroqueInMind ,

Global warming killing off massive populations of livestock doesn’t care.

You will eat bugs; you already eat bugs. What percentage do you think is in your vegetables you eat, breakfast cereals, snack foods and other processed foods you buy?

Do you seriously think the factories that mass produce your food actually spend the money to fucking process your food in sterile clean rooms?

Blumpkinhead ,

Accidentally eating a bug here and there is a bit different than scarfing down a bowl of centipedes, just saying.

wintermute_oregon ,

I had to eat bug’s once I survival training. It’s disgusting. That’s the only time I’d eat a bug again

FlyingSquid , in Study: Acupuncture can ease methadone treatment

the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine

In other words, this is bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit, It will not help addicts at all and it might hurt them.

2484345508 , in Los Angeles-Orange County home prices 10 times greater than incomes, report finds

If you keep paying the prices, they will keep going up. Stop buying houses.

sunzu ,

Volume is half from the peak and near lows... They rich just keep trading more expensive houses between each other, which results in higher median teade price...

Clown economy for capitalist circus.

Can’t argue with that.

Monument , in Pastor facing federal charge after allegedly assaulting his wife over flight upgrade

I don’t know why I wanted to look it up, but I found their ages in an article about the incident from The Guardian.

He’s 75, she’s 59, and they’ve been married for a year and a half.

I’m glad this was documented, and I hope she’s able to get out of the marriage. (And that he never works again, the hypocrite.) No one deserves that sort of abuse.

EatATaco , in ‘New York learning about trash cans in 2024 is an insane flex’: Eric Adams trolled over wheelie bins ‘trash revolution’

Nothing he said was even that bad. He said “our revolution” which is talking about the changes happening in NYC. And we’re going to dedicate a whole article to what people on social media have said about it? Wtf?

For the clicks

For the engagement

For the eyes on the ads

For the $$

DarkSpectrum , in New York bridge gets stuck open after getting too hot

There are so many industries where building or manufacturing standards will not withstand environmental changes.

UnderpantsWeevil ,

We’ve got something north of a trillion dollars in deferred infrastructure maintenance. You see the edges of the problem in the whole Flint water crisis, when a cheapo state appointed city planner overruled the local government to pump untreated river water through aging leaded pipes. Or the Minnesota bridge collapse.

But this kind of underfunded domestic investment is everywhere. We’ve leeched vast stocks of wealth from our urban core and thrown it into our war machine abroad, and now our nation is crumbling under our feet.

Climate change simply accelerates the speed of the rot.

We lose a few tourists annually from it in Australia too. Massive hot sparse country.

rowinxavier , in Study: Acupuncture can ease methadone treatment

Ah yes, great idea, take a vulnerable group and then use them to push a nationalist pseudoscience. Honestly, acupuncture has been shown to not work, it has no viable mechanism of action, and if there is any effect it is extremely small and unreliable. Obviously not upset about the post of the study, just the absolutely pointless waste of the study itself.

henfredemars , in Tourists still flock to Death Valley amid searing US heat wave blamed for several deaths

Humans are such a successful species that many of us have lost our basic survival instincts.

Crackhappy ,
@Crackhappy@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a good way to think of it.

henfredemars , in Las Vegas eyes record of fifth consecutive day over 115 degrees as heat wave continues to scorch US

Man, don’t tell me that when I have to travel there for work in a couple weeks.

NIB , in Air taxis cleared for Paris Olympics, Macron offered seat on flight

We dont want to use AC on the rooms the athletes will be staying during summer, because we care about the environment. But here are some flying taxis, because that is surely good for the environment.

So, to cool a 10m^2^ room by 20°C is 1.5KW(5.4E9J)/h. On average, a Volocopter uses around 10kWh to fly someone 2km. The greater Paris metro area is 50km at its widest, 10km at its narrowest. Assuming Volocopter is operating only within the greater Paris metro area, this means bringing Metron (and a guest, presumably) on this trip would use about 150kWh, or enough to cool one (small) room for 100 days, or 100 rooms for 1 day - assuming hot (ca 32C) days, cooling down to around room temperature.

My point is that, while a pet racoon may sound like a lot of fun, they’re pretty destructive; it’s better to talk your best friend into getting one and then just enjoy the raccoon interactions without having to constantly repair the drywall in your house.

Just sayin’.

Cobrachicken ,

Misread Volocopter as Velociraptor, thougt “what a cool concept, stop nagging” first. Sry for that. On my way out…

I think they missed an opportunity there, don’t you? They’d certainly get more people’s attention.

Bitches rather eat bugs than eat mushrooms.

In Clarkson’s farm last season he starts growing mushrooms in this tiny space and the production just looked insane, like come back two days later to kilos and kilos of mushrooms. I seriously considered starting this as a side gig but I don’t have any space for it.

ayyy ,

The main issue is you can’t smell a TV show. Notice how he literally threw up inside his respirator?

crystalmerchant , in Pastor facing federal charge after allegedly assaulting his wife over flight upgrade

Alaska PR not happy with thumbnail selection

GiddyGap , in Lawyers for megachurch pastor blame 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact

Yikes, it’s a long ways down from that high horse.
