I still feel addressed when there's something about "young people". At 34.

Shit. So a quick search says a brain weighs 1.5kg and 0.5% is 7.5g. A credit card weighs about 5g. We have more plastic in our brains than there is in a card?

The article mentions that the quantity in 2024 was 50% higher than in 2016 - which is a high increase for just 8 years. This development probably doesn't slow down, it may even get faster. How much plastic will be in our brains in another 8 years?

Shit.

Yep. And if you mention this, you're a commie and capitalism is the greatest thing ever and under socialism we will all starve and have nothing and it never worked look at Cuba.

Like capitalism works, and there are no imaginable alternatives.

Just don't use resources to produce that much useless crap to just dump it in a landfill or burn it? Is it so hard to understand?

The French found a solution some time ago, maybe history really repeats.

You're being empathic towards people who have no empathy for you.

For getting a grip in current web development, I would recommend fullstackopen.com - it's a free online course by the University of Helsinki and starts from basically zero, and gives you a lot of insights into web dev.

It may take some time, but it's really worth it and an overall great course.

But was it really me then?

Manchen Impulsen muss man einfach nachgehen!

Nah, the money makes up for it. I give code, I get money. The rest is up to management.

It is really simple: I just don't want to play a game if it doesn't run on Linux.

No need to use bad software on my computer just to play a game :)

Story: I was on a bus once, another passenger was a guy with a big McD Coke. We got off at the same station. Here, each station has a trash can.

So this guy walks right by the trash can and drops his fucking coke right next to it. He could have extended his arm like 10 cm more, and the coke would have gone into the trash can. But he chose to drop it on the floor.

This was years ago, and I think this day broke my faith in humanity a little.

So die ersten Wochen ALG1 sind schon ganz nett

It is also going to poison your brain, and mine, too.

I don't think Spiegel will sue you for copyright infringement for providing translations on Lemmy.. But you never know!

Maybe we are not done yet with understanding how our biological computer works.

On topics like this, I like to think about bacteria:

Before microscopes, it was unimagible to have little organisms on us and everywhere around us. People have been labelled crazy for believing that there is a whole small universe of organisms everywhere.

Then came microscopes, and suddenly everyone could see it for themselves.

What if we just don't have the right tools to make our magic sauce, spirit, soul, whatever visible to us yet?

In 2016, being young and naive, I really thought that every human being had at least a basic common sense, some very basic decency, no matter the cultural background. I was so sure that this weird old man won't be the President Of The US fucking A.

And then those guys made him their president.

What the hell? Whats wrong with y'all?

Wir sind ja wirklich viele!

Och nö
