It’s marketing bs because there is pseudoscience that the cause of cancer and other illnesses is from acids and alkaline water will prevent you from those illnesses even though it’s completely bunk and push by the same people who think essential oils can heal you too

It might be in a few nations with strong public transit already like Japan and a number or European nations but honestly idk if it will ever happen in the USA at least not in my life time.

The batteries do contain rare minerals like lithium but these can be recovered and recycled. EVs can be charged with solar, wind and other renewables even tho many places in the USA still burn coal or natural gas.

Once you burn gasoline in your ICE vehicle then it’s gone, it turns into gasses that go into the atmosphere and can’t easily be recovered into anything of much use.

EVs are the future and we all know it. Gasoline will continue to become more expensive and more difficult to extract.

Ya and you can easily buy the tool for them on eBay or a normal strong magnet if you know it’s needed.

Apparently it’s even easier than ever as you can just give a selfie to AI models and it can do all the “photoshopping” for you without actually learning those skills.

Ya that was really disappointing number to look at.

Honestly idk why people are so mad at the wrong people. They are doing this for concern of following the laws that are being passed in many jurisdictions. Some of which required “operating systems” to store date of birth that apps can access. What that means and what even is an OS is heavily up to debate.

Either way people need to call their lawmakers and be mad at those passing these laws.

We are animals… like that’s just the scientific truth.

She was a bad candidate, basically a bad clone of Biden and we can see who won and who didn’t. Americans are not that smart and they only care about the president. Everyone else they vote purely on blue or red lines regardless.

Let’s be honest. It wasn’t because of any leftist that she lost. It’s because she is a woman of color. Racism and misogyny is very well alive and has power in the USA. If they put another white man with the exact some politics then trump would have lost. Everyone wants to argue over silly points missing the clear truth of how backwards and messed up the USA still is.

Damn Trump makes up 98% of the crap? Oof

Ehh I have the most faith in matrix but it definitely isn’t perfect and barely a discord replacement .

I think that is one of the problems. People want an exact copy of discord but don’t ask if discord even has the perfect layout and if it should be copied directly. Anyway there are clients like cinny which look similar and other chat platforms like stroat(previously revolt) and spacebar which look exactly like discord and they are not doing massively well either so shrugs.

lol damn it does. I quickly skimmed it but my brain skipped that part.

The same with millennials adding lol to the end of every sentence. Which is me I do that lol.

Matrix is probably the most well funded and supported open source platform that might be able to compete with Discord but even then it’s not a fair fight.

Sadly most people won’t leave discord. People will forget about this next week.

It’s wild for me as a trans woman because I rarely had this issue before I transitioned and start to “pass”. It’s insane to experience both sides.

I’m guessing the shell is made from gelatin or something? Which is made from animal bones. I can’t think of what else would be made from animal.

I think it has the longest life before going bad and it was a popular choice for low income families who wanted to stock up on stuff. I think it also became popular for food banks to hand out as well. Though we’ve moved away from that mostly. I rarely see people buy them anymore and if they do they likely do it by habit because they grew up in a family that used it.

I assume store brands and other brands will still keep making that stuff.

Probably on Etsy
