Excrubulent , in living that suburbpunk lifestyle
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

This was written by a mortgage broker.

One could argue that Tolkien is an enemy to the trees. [Warning unverified sources and very rough maths lie below]

  • The LOTR Trilogy has sold 150 million copies, and the Hobbit has sold 142 million source
  • Each LOTR book has a (very rough) average of 430 pages, while the Hobbit has ~360. This totals to 115,620,000,000 pages printed
  • The average tree creates ~20,000 sheets of paper source

This means Tolkien is responsible for the deaths of at least 5,781,000 trees. The Ents would not be happy

Urbanfox , in reject college. embrace apprenticeship

UK here, on an apprenticeship and earning £40,000+ a year.

Recognise I'm exceptionally lucky but no idea how anyone could afford to complete a degree while living independently in current times.

Agent641 , in replace nuclear with hydro

Solar is better than Nuclear because it uses fewer UPS.

aprilmay , in replace nuclear with hydro

Nuclear is the only one that can actually satisfy base load demand, we don't have enough batteries in the world to make up for solar and wind. Nuclear is also the safest.

Fosheze , in replace nuclear with hydro

Dam based hydro is way worse for the environment than nuclear. Nuclear is also safer than dam based hydro.

Pretty sure tidal is still safer and more environmentally friendly but you can't really use tidal just anywhere.

Shurimal , in flocks are social right?

That would be a murder, and yes, it's social.

Touching_Grass , in reject college. embrace apprenticeship

Cool leave all the executive and judicial positions for the children of the rich. They'll make ethical decisions that benefit everyone

morphballganon , in the circle of life

Conservatives* make tough times

Blamemeta , in high speed rail go brrr

Its a lot easier when you have slave labor and don't care about the enviroment or human lives

VoilaChihuahua , in you don't need to do. just be

I feel like the caption doesn't summarize the spirit of the quote. The indigenous folks cooked, told stories, made art, danced, fell in love, made enemies, had sports, and formed various unique cultures. There's a lot of "doing" in a that. For me this reads as you don't need to grind to make other people wealthy and collect a lot of plastic bullshit that Instagram convinced you was necessary for happiness. But like we're all slowly, collectively realizing this right?

Are western cultures not indigenous?

Or is this just more US defaultism?

StoicLime , in you don't need to do. just be

Good thought, wrong sub.

This isn't a meme

Binthinkin , in reduce everything including yourself

Its about living a high quality, low cost life.

Going without isn’t hard when you observe yourself being shitty about consumer goods.

Once you get the perspective of yourself buying crappy plastic junk or food you don’t need or what a landfill looks and smells like you may begin the process of buying less.

If you’re poor you are really stuck without a life boat.

If you’re middle class it hurts more.

If you’re wealthy it hurts more because you realize things = status.

But in reality if you are not part of the 0.01% you are actually living month to month anyway so who am I kidding, shits not changing lol
