Well it's slightly longer than the genus Homo first appeared, so yeah longer than the lifetime of all human like "animals".

I'd agree if there would ba a "could" in there or something. The reality is that a lot of soy (that humans can digest) is fed to animals...

Haha, hasn't she learned about the outcome of the Streisand effect when Elon Musk tried to prevent it

(e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/ElonJetTracker/)

I think all of this should be a motivation to track all kinds of private jets of billionaires, and make it as public/loud as possible...

Thanks for all the links, they are close to what I imagine. I need to check them out in detail.

On the topic of high quality information of the commons, I think what we really need is a decentralized federated wiki technology, like lemmy but for wikis. One that uses some combination of consensus based peer review, version control, and author accreditation. As far as I know, nothing like this even remotely exists - yet.

Yeah this would be pretty cool, similar as something like forgefed, There are so many wikis floating around, not being seen by potentially interested people, having something like that could enable easily linking between wikis and their different philosophies, or enable a federalized search for all kinds of topics. Hmm maybe I'll look into that...

Hi, I'm currently at an eco-village, and had a discussion about washing dishes per hand vs using a dishwasher. I was not completely sure, but have read somewhere, that a dishwasher is more efficient (in terms of energy and water usage). I just fact-checked that and indeed, when not being super careful by handwashing (no running water, using very little detergent, rather cold water etc.), a dishwasher is more efficient.

I think it would be super useful to have a dense wiki for stuff like this for everyday life, because it's so easy to think that something different is more efficient. Because at first thought it doesn't sound immediately intuitive.

Does anybody know if there's something like this? And if not, it probably makes sense to start a wiki like that.

Yeah, but what's the alternative?

It's a fucked up system we (in the industrial society) have. I would obviously want to have a different candidate that's less influenced by lobby and rich people. But it's not what the "system wants to have"...
