What in the actual fuck
Thank you kind internet person
It’s recorded sea temperatures that allowed us to track changes like this over time that I was referring to. I know that wasn’t super clear by the title.
Yes, that’s correct. We have not had the technology to accurately track this kind of data until 1982. Essentially the ~30 years of data from 1982-2011 is being used as a baseline. The past ~12 years or so have seen increasing levels of warmth compared to this baseline, and 6 standard deviations in statistics is usually “where did I fuck up my calculations” levels of absurdity. I think it is something like 1 in 500 million odds? I may be wrong, but it happening twice is not a miscalculation.
We could chalk it up to this being a natural phenomenon, but it’s more likely that we have reached tipping points in the climate that are now being seen in the data.
I know this isn’t politics or nation state news, but it is deeply troubling for all of us who live on planet Earth. Six standard deviations is mind boggling.
Mods, please remove this if you feel it isn’t news worthy. I know it breaks rule 1, but wanted to share.
If one parent is taking care of three children (it is a full time job) and the other is working to bring in income, who is going to college?
Walternate from Fringe. Absolutely beautifully acted and exactly what I’d expect from a man who had his child abducted from a parallel version of himself.
Just told this at the bar. Had everyone rolling
I sat dumbfounded for like 5 minutes. Highly recommend it.
SOMA left me questioning my own consciousness, what it is to be human, and loneliness.
We are quite literally unable to stop what is happening. Our leaders will promise us the sky and moon, but can’t deliver. Technology won’t save us. We won’t stop business as usual until an external force causes us to do so.
I saw Independence Day 3 times in the theater.
Wow, I had no idea shit was going downhill so quickly in Pakistan. Since they do have nuclear weapons this is a scary situation for everyone.
Damn. Asking the real questions
Yeah it was chatgpt
It helped me pick out a Christmas gift for my wife. She said it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever gotten.
I just follow the Mr. PeanutButter philosophy on life at this point
“The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn’t a search for meaning. It’s to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you’ll be dead”
Basically stop thinking so deeply about the enigmas you will never understand and try to enjoy the small things in life. A walk in a park. Helping someone less fortunate. Cooking a good meal, etc.
We absolutely should be ending subsidies on fossil fuels, the meat industry, and other polluters. This will cause a ripple effect on the cost of everyday items and the standard of living globally, so of course there will be those that say it can’t be done. The problem is the game of musical chairs will eventually end, either when we’re completely fucked or at a time of our choosing.
I’m sure it’s just some “grand conspiracy” to make us all use paper straws and recycle
Return it and swap for another
