The flowers in the image are pollinated by bugs and birds. Their pollen is not what you’re sneezing at. More likely it’s tree pollen or ragweed, which grows in competition with these wildflowers. Doing this might actually reduce your seasonal allergies.

You probably have ticks in your yard anyway. They can make their nests in the grass.

Yeah I suppose the nihilist in me is just assuming total societal collapse and I’m counting on dedicated preservationists to leave the universe evidence we were here.

That’s fair, but isn’t that what we’re already doing? People are growing crops and trees, they are evolving naturally and also being modified and cultured to improve growth and adapt to changing environments.

Isn’t the point of the freezer to make sure the seeds are there after you die? The whole concept of preservation is to save something that will outlast you.

Styrofoam also releases toxic fumes when it burns. So as a firestarter, it’s great in an emergency. For a campfire, don’t sit too close or cook your marshmallows on it.

Just because the joke is similar doesn’t mean one is copying the other. Versions of this joke exist in a variety of forms, and it’s entirely possible that each creator thought of it independently, inspired by the events of the day.

It’s stupid, yes, but there is a reason. The electric company pays to maintain the infrastructure. They trim trees and fix downed lines, and they pay for it by selling you energy.

Now, if you don’t buy energy, you aren’t using the lines. That’s acceptable, because they know you might buy energy in the future, so maintenance is still worth the investment. But if you’re selling energy bsck to the grid, you’re using the infrastructure and they have to pay you for running your meter backwards. Even paying you a reduced rate for the energy you produce is a losing proposition for them.

Also, bribery is legal, and energy providers have a lot of money. They can afford to buy politicians, so if there’s a way they can make it illegal to lose money, then they will. And they have.

So, if the corporation can’t be profitable, it’s probably time for the state to take over.

UBI needs to be tied to the cost of living. That’s the best way to prevent predatory inflation.

I probably agree with this, but I have no idea what it’s trying to say.

It shrinks?
