thanks for the post Elon.

Knowing how trees grow leads you to the conclusion that this is immediately a fake story.

Trees grow from root and shoot tips, and they also increase in girth. This explains why your childhood swing doesn't get higher as the years go by, and why the rope sometimes gets engulfed by the increasing diameter of the branch.

That bike was deliberately tied up or thrown up a tree. Maybe to hide it idk. But it definitely wasn't left leaning against the tree at ground hight by a child. It's just not how trees grow.

I'm amazed USA cracked sub 190

The past nine years (2014–2022) have been the warmest years since modern recordkeeping began in 1880. We're super fucked at this point. Even if we all stopped emmiting carbon tomorrow. We'd still be fucked for decades and likely centuries.

Imagine all the poo under that bridge cause I'm betting they don't have sewers running to them.

Ikr that would show them.

I wonder if this type of life is an indication that life might exist on other planets in the solar system using similar sun free energy consumption.

This is a shame. I was hoping that might have finally killed Twitter.

How does musk rat get away with this?

Idt it could be less terrible than the current twitter. The bar is so so low.

It's quite baffling how Toyota, the world's largest automaker, has been so hesitant to properly invest in fully electric vehicles. While they argue that battery-electric vehicles aren't the sole solution for sustainable transportation and achieving carbon neutrality, their focus on hybrid and hydrogen technology seems like a deliberate attempt to stall the progress of EVs. It's hard not to view their recent announcements about solid-state battery technology with a cynical eye.

• Toyota has been lobbying the US government to slow down the rollout of battery-electric vehicles
• Outgoing CEO Akio Toyoda held the opinion that EVs are simply "overhyped"
• Toyota's lateness to the EV game has allowed competitors like Hyundai to seize market share

Is Toyota genuinely committed to a cleaner, more sustainable future or just trying to buy time while they continue to profit from their hybrid and to a lesser extent hydrogen technologies.

Toyota's reluctance to fully embrace electric vehicles and their focus on hybrid and hydrogen technology has actively held back progress in the EV market.

Their solid-state batteries seem like a last-ditch effort to stay relevant, but i suppose only time will tell if they can successfully commercialize and mass-produce these batteries sooner than later.

Good. Less shit to ignore.
