i have a friend that used to work at a hotdog stand in antarctica, and he’d let huge containers of the unholy water freeze outside to carve ice sculptures, igloos and such. sometimes, colonies of penguins pass by and he’ll sell hundreds of thousands of hotdogs, then launch little icebergs of all the frozen waste water. does that make all the oceans tainted?

loldog191@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Space colonization would create so many jobs for everyone. Not great jobs but jobs.1·10 days agocurrently rewatching the show firefly rn, but after i will start The expanse. ive seen other mentions of it around here on lemmy, and they always avoid revealing spoilers so i will too.
so this is just a general question shooting off of your edit: i wonder what a baby born and grown in higher-than-earth g’s would be like?
loldog191@lemmy.cato Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong.3·11 days agoi think you have a narrow view of what education is. this is subjective but my view of education is that it’s an emergent property; as long as there’s different individuals that know different skills, natural networks will form of people teaching to anyone that wants to learn.
whether it’s institutions with professors teaching about quantum physics and brain surgery, to herds of dinosaurs teaching groups of young their migration paths and dangers to avoid; it’s all within my personal concept of what education is

Not great jobs but jobs.2·11 days agohow far into the future is this set? is it possible medical science gets advanced enough to surgically implant a robot skeleton that can repair itself and grow with the person? if these belters make a universal healthcare system, they could have free cybernetic surgeries for masses of belters able to withstand surface gravity of planets. should i just watch it, is the expanse a good show?
have you considered pivoting away from socks towards mittens for feet?
