@Sheril Alt text: Image of hourglass:
Each grain of sand in this visualization
represents 10 million people.
[Top of hourglass] 140 million children are born every year. 14 grains of sand enter the hourglass.
You are here. These 795 grains represent the 7.95 billion people who are alive today.
[Bottom of hourglass] 60 million people die every year. 6 grains of sand pass through the hourglass.
About 109 billion people have lived and died. 10.900 grains of sand.

@nami_wiki @Tim_Boettcher I rarely post so that would make my timeline blank. Leave enough time so people looking to following you could get an idea about your tooting style.
@Snoro simple counter. Eating red meat 'helps' you gain muscle so we should attack gym junkies*. Normal weight but high carbon foods. You can be vegetarian and eat fried food and chocolate. Overweight but low carbon foods.
* There are a lot of great foods vegetarians can eat to 'help' gain muscle. The number 1, 2, and 3 best things to do is, go to the gym!
@devinprater @koz I remember watching a doco years ago about a factory in China that had apartment buildings across the road for their thousands of employees. They even did mass weddings! Most of their employees were young adults moving in from the country for the first time.

@Angle I think computers could have a hundred CPU cores and maybe there would be an intermittent CPU/GPU that's like Cuda for general programming.
@socketwench I always read it as "Read the f'king manual and don't bother me"
After just finishing my AI exam and ML exam it is not magic but just doing statistics on a large scale with pseudo random jumps to find a better statistical model. @alcinnz

More new signage in the largest bike parking in the world. At the entrances it is now indicated which lane to choose for which floor and there are signs for merging traffic and the exits. And to make sure what kind of parking it is, they even painted bicycles on the floor 🤣🤣
@eviloatmeal @evelyn I thought electric cars were the bees knees but after seeing Elon Musk sprout his ideas (+ other things) I see them as an important step but only keeps business as usual. Especially the Hyperloop and Boring tunnels for use only with his cars and the aim to stop mass transit like high speed rail.
@devinprater @snowyfox it should just a be high interest rate similar to credit card and caps at $1000 or something. That way if you pay it quickly you are only charged 5c.
@dajb find a common analogy people already know to directly use. There is the folder you file in My Documents or desk (top) to keep files on. Or take the lazy approach like Uber for washing machines.
A chassis to build your own vehicle, so you can connect with all your friends and colleagues on your terms. Enjoy the freedom to travel across the Fediverse.
#ScientistRebellion has published an open letter on the implausibility of maintaining average global temperatures below 1.5°C of warming given our current trajectories (heading for more than +3°C).
https://signon.scientistrebellion.com/
If this letter gathers more than 500 signatories from the scientific community, it will be "placed by Scientist Rebellion in a journal or mainstream news outlet ahead of COP27."
Help raise awareness about the gravity of the situation.
@Snoro cool, if you go to Western Australia the electricity consumption shows very little solar or wind. This is true for grid connected projects, but the majority of renewables is roof top PV. You can see the missing energy in the last 24 hours graph. The day time energy drops with the sun.
@fosdem what country is ULB in?
I am into science and climate activism. I love to learn about social issues and to challenge my own perspectives. I'm also into free and open-source software and I am back in University studying computer science.
