Hey, at least being fat doesn’t create an aura of stench that makes anyone nearby miserable.

Because drones are expensive, and it would be a waste of money to use them on poor people.

I mean, if I was a key part of the nuclear program of the US, and there was another country specifically targeting the US’s nuclear program, I would assume myself to be at Target.

Idk, heat pumps have become a lot more popular in recent years.

I could see it being used in situations where not all of the larger government’s territory was filled by smaller governments.

I feel like heat would start to become a serious issue at that point.

You do realize that there is probably a fair chunk of people on here who can say that unironically?

If you need to have a conversation with someone, don’t block the entire hallway to do it.

Post-scarcity does not refer to the physical resources required to maintain civilization. It refers to the ability to maintain said resources and civilization without a lot of human labor. We could have ten houses per person, but housing still wouldn’t fall under the post-scarcity umbrella until we could maintain and build new houses with minimal human labor.

I was referring to the fact that building and maintaining housing is still a largely manual process, and requires a fairly large amount of human labor. Maintaining power, water, sewage, and other things required for modern housing requires an even larger amount of human work.

Whether there are enough houses to actually fit all the people is unrelated to this.

Post-scarcity refers to most goods being able to be produced in abundance with minimal human labor. Even assuming that current food production fully falls under that umbrella, housing definitely does not, and it requires a lot more than just food and housing.

The day we can mass produce gold is the day we have a post-scarcity society. Full elemental transmutation, which would be required to mass produce gold, would also eliminate virtually all resource shortages.

Ash fell from the sky.

Haven’t they also been trying to put back doors into everything for the last decade?

You’re on the wrong instance then. The lemmy.ml instance is very heavily political, even in political communities.

Speaking of, did you hear there’s a new room temperature super conductor?

Let’s call it project insight.

Most companies add an email header like “X-PHISHTEST” to the phishing tests (and a corresponding spam filter rule) to ensure they don’t get caught by spam filters. If you look at the headers of a spam email, the company test emails will have that header.

If you look at the headers, you can tell which ones are fake phishing and real phishing.
