At least the one about ivory towers is wrong.

zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Last year China generated almost 3 times as much solar power as the EU did, and it's close to overtaking all OECD countries put together (whose combined population is 1.38 billion people)English21·13 days agoTrucks? If you move coal for a power plant using trucks you’re going to need a lot of trucks, you use trains or ships instead, or just build the power plant next to the mine and use conveyor belts.

How? I would’ve said coal is very reliable, it worked for over a hundred years.
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is that random movie that you watched multiple times throughout your childhood only because your family happened to own it's DVD (or VHS) ?11·13 days agoThe Jungle Book (1967 version) on VHS.
Edit: I love how OP asked for DVDs and almost everyone responds with VHS. Maybe that’s a better system to group people into generations, VHS, DVD, streaming.
105 femtowhat? I have no idea what those numbers mean.
I don’t mind high temperatures on their own, but I’ll die if they’re combined with high humidity.
They’re equally awful but in their own ways.
It’s also devolving, having less features, being slower/less optimised and so on. Cramming “AI” into it isn’t devolving, it’s enshitification
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•The bizarre, dismal page you see if you open YouTube without an account.English36·15 days agoYes and no, I don’t have an account but I also don’t use the frontpage because why would I, it’s empty. When you watch a video you still get the recommendations in the sidebar.

There’s the not so good Purge show, the second season kind of deals with that.
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto science@lemmy.world•Glass bottles found to contain more microplastics than plastic bottlesEnglish32·16 days agoOr just unpainted aluminium caps.
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla In 'Self-Drive Mode' Hit By Train After Turning Onto Train TracksEnglish583·17 days agoThat actually sounds like a reasonable response.
If you give the driver enough time to act, which tesla doesn’t. They turn it off a second before impact and then claim it wasn’t in self-driving mode.
I can stop anytime I want, I just don’t want to.
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Are we going to refer to americans as "orcs" now?51·18 days agoUnironically yes.
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogynyEnglish33·19 days agoHonestly I think examples like this are counterproductive, the average man will never be considered for one of these positions, nor will the average woman. It is useless to get angry at such a situation as it only serves to engage people in the “gender war” which only serves to distract you from the real issues which are almost completely class issues. Instead of getting angry that some woman “took away” the job of some man who was “more deserving”, you should get angry that that person is most likely getting paid a hundred times more than you and will cut your job in an attempt to make the company appear more profitable.
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogynyEnglish172·19 days agoEvery once in a while my uni has some interesting events (at least based on the description), public announcement sent to everyone, and the last sentence has almost always been some form of “women only”. There is usually no gender neutral equivalents to these events and they’re done in the name of gener equality. So I very much feel excluded by gender equality.
zaphod@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogynyEnglish11·19 days agoI’m sure it varies from country to country, but in the US women could not study medicine until the late 1800’s
In Germany at the moment around two thirds of medicine students are women and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the similar in most western countries.
Too real.
