  • Me too, know my way around a computer but have never setup a linux distro or anything like that… yet.

    I left in one of the mass exodus waves of reddit (during the api changes) and i feel like its not that consequential to be one person less on one of the biggest sites on the internet, but every person counts. Especially when what is becoming increasingly apparent is that all reddit will soon have is bots and ‘normies’ who use reddit instead of facebook/whatever.




  • Imagine if the world could get its shit together for a planned 4 week lockdown, everyone has ample time to prepare, get supplies and set up for the lockdown, then we simultaneously all hunker down except for the most vital people running essential services (hospitals, water plants, power plants, etc).
    We could wipe out so many transmissible viruses, even wiping out the common cold alone would pay back the entire cost in lost business hours.
    Im not saying we wipe out things to be able to work more, but wouldn’t you rather be at work than feeling terrible in bed? (It’s about the quality of life improvement.)





  • Wittenoom was an asbestos mining town, it was the whole reason for the towns existence. They believed at the time that not only was asbestos safe but they would spread blue asbestos out on the ground around their houses and paths on purpose (for some reason, i forget why exactly, might have been as an insect deterrent or something).
    So this wouldnt be that weird for them, like a coal mining town digging buckets of coal.
