Born too late to play with the demon core.

Born too early to make your own at home.

Pretty happy that i got to enjoy a bit of fuck around. Not scientifically, just general fuckery.

Americans using anything but the metric system

Easiest way of approximation for a Zettajoule (metric system) is to americans: imagine one of your countries biggest single action crimes against humanity, thirteen times every second.

But you might get that opportunity to tear down the old system and start on the new one.

why is the same person replying to their own tweet?

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because it's a direct follow up to what they said, pointing out a related observation. It's like people adding an edit to their post or someone commenting on their own lemmy post.

this felt more like they forgot it was their own post

It's a post from later, providing added input after the OP has seen how many scientists agree with the sentiment... The reason for the reply is literally written in the text that it is made up of

It's downhill from here so better to be at the top of the hill

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

That's a criminals mindset.

I wish, started from the middle and now we are here.

Maybe if I was around for some of the wild times and not just in highschool for 9/11 (odd thing for a Canadian kid to contextualize, might have been when I took an interest in geopolitical issues). I mean pog was kinda neat, but nothing like what I hear of the coke fuled times before.

So we are more or less the same age. I would say we had a pretty good childhood and early teens, it was by the time we reached university that shit got worse. In a way, yes, we didn't get to enjoy the cheap housing and easy job market when we reached adulthood but the generation after didn't even get to enjoy the childhood part.

Yeah, childhood in general is more dependent on your personal family situation. Late teens and beyond (where you have the autonomy) is the part that matters. I wonder if it was better to have seen the time before (even if just as a child or on tv) or like the younger people not even know about the days where the Simpsons where meant to be poor.
