I get the joke, but rust is actually pretty heavily used in the backend of services theae days. Cloudflare, Amazon, Dropbox, just to randomly name a few off the top my head. Have pretty heavily invested it into their back ends for more reliable service.

Oh damn that’s unfortunate, wake me up when it’s a real product
Literally who would say no to that? Win either way
I know it is meant to be a joke and we are meant to think that assuming the Reddit post is even real that it is funny the person would do that. However this is actually becoming a real problem . There’s a mix of extremes happening and it has gotten to the point where a lot of younger men are in the mindset that it’s basically impossible for this to happen and they are terrified of assuming and accepting the feelings. Because if they get it wrong they get called a creep ridiculed and just otherwise dragged through the dirt socially. Or at least that is the fear that they have I have doubts that it’s actually that bad , it probably happens in some places but it is the fear that a lot of men in general have right now.
I’ve caught myself thinking that way when I end up falling for a friend. That I’m the one who’s wrong for having those feelings and I should have just been happy with friendship. During that time it probably would have been not quite as bad as the comic but short of explicitly saying they love me and asking me out I would not have assumed anything was them having romantic interest in me.
I live in an area where it is raining more often than not so unfortunately clothes lines are not really an option for me, though i compensated by going entirely off grid. I have enough solar and battery storage that I am completely self-sufficient. I have a heat pump dryer, heat pump hot water heater, and I still use things like a dishwasher as they do use dramatically less water than doing it by hand
I guess that’s one I also forgot to put on the list heat pump hot water heater yes they are more expensive than the standard electric but they will pay for themselves pretty quickly unless you just almost never use hot water. Same for the dryer, it is indeed more expensive than a standard electric one but it will pay for itself pretty quickly with the 1/4th power used
Honestly, the majority of what you listed isn’t going to make any difference in the slightest even if literally everyone did it tomorrow.
Here’s a completely random non-comprehensive list of stuff that would actually be pretty impactful though.
Upgrade your dryer to a heat pump dryer , they use 1/4 the amount of electricity to do the same job if literally everyone traded their electric dryer for the heat pump dryer it would dramatically reduce energy usage and thus also result in a dramatic drop in CO2 generation from various energy generation sources. You don’t have to worry about your old dryer it is made of 90% material that actually gets recycled for real just drop it off at a scrap yard.
Use your compost bin actually start separating stuff for it properly . Most people don’t make use of it, if you are particular waste Company does not offer composting then simply make a compost box somewhere on your property if you can and start composting there’s a lot of things that just end up in the trash that could be compostable which would be better for it the environment and reduce the burden on the waste system.
Curb the demand for forever chemicals. Replace everything in your kitchen with stainless steel or wood or glass. No plastic or Teflon just learn to preheat your pans properly and use a little bit of oil the sticking of your eggs is nothing more than a skill issue I use stainless steel and I can make fried eggs that slide around like they’re on ice. And not just the pots and pans replace all of your utensils plates bowls. It creates a small surge in waste initially as you get rid of the old stuff but as long as it’s going forward you never purchase the plastics again it means demand will go down.
Those are just a couple completely random things that would be fairly simple and easy to do that would actually make a pretty drastic difference if even just 40% of the population would follow through but I speak from experience when I say if you attempt to get people on board with any of these they just can’t be bothered because it’s a slight minor inconvenience compared to what they already do
Humans are remarkably good at not caring about something until it affects them personally at which point it’s too late to do anything about it
LordKitsuna@lemmy.worldto Web Development@programming.dev•It's time for modern CSS to kill the SPA3·17 days agoNo i want it to actually be fast, and stop using unholy amounts of ram for basic tasks. I am not pulling out a stopwatch you are correct but when I try to use one of my still perfectly functional but older systems I can feel the effects of all this JavaScript bullshit.
Firefox mobile has plenty of add-ons that will just remove it for you
Which is also exactly why it will never be popular. People don’t want to have to deal with jumping around instances, dealing with the poor discoverability of the fediverse, etc. Even lemmy has that issue, I’m here because im a linux nerd so there is a decent amount of content i want here found easily but for anything else might as well be worthless.

LordKitsuna@lemmy.worldOPto flashlight@lemmy.world•Any good options for 21700 cells?English1·1 month agoWow thank you for the detailed reply the guide and the specific recommendation this should help me find exactly what I need to start making use of at least some of these cells

LordKitsuna@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•Stop using a browser that violates user freedom and privacy!4·1 month agoI’ve unfortunately gotten tired of ironfox, some of the crap they change for “privacy” (doesn’t exist on the internet and all attempts to block things actually make you MORE identifiable) just break too many websites. After the like 30th time having to switch to nightly to make something work i just said fuck it.
They really need to be more careful about actual functionality if they want to take over as the main version of ff. Don’t get me wrong I use ublock origin, decentraleyes, clearURLs etc. But i use them for performance not privacy, blocking all the bullshit sites load to eat my battery. They work without constantly breaking basic sites unlike whatever ironfox does

That’s my favorite thing about these images. The car is so far back even speeding it should be able to stop
Yes but that doesn’t mean it’s a far left topic. This is the problem in politics nobody has the ability to understand that even an individual political system is an entire political Spectrum onto its own. Be it right or left.
