  • Chances are you have an ISP that is doing dynamic IP. Clear cookies and cache on everything you ever touched Reddit with, note what your current IP is (Google “what’s my IP address”), unplug your ISP modem for about 15-20 minutes and plug it back in. You should get a new IP, check with the Google trick again.

    Might get tricky if Reddit does something like a hardware ID on your computer or something, but I doubt it.









  • Iirc, it wasn’t just that as far as Star Trek goes. Iirc, most world governments and economic systems were destroyed, humanity was a mere fraction of its peak population. Humanity literally physically came together because it was necessary to rebuild.

    Its one thing to have a common enemy/suffering without changing anything else as far as governments and social systems goes. It’s completely different when you not only have the enemy/suffering but to also need to literally rebuild everything from scratch



  • I will never understand people’s strong desire to live or vacation near the ocean. You pay a massive premium just to live on “the coast”, with the ever present threat of hurricanes for what? Some sounds and breeze?

    People will arrange their vacations so that they can visit the ocean, for what? Unless you’re a surfer or something, it’s boring, it’s just another body of water with an increased risk of death or injury by various means.

    I’m not even one of those that’s afraid of the ocean or anything, I’ve been in it, I left in less than an hour because it’s boring AF. It’s much more fun to go to a water park or even just a public pool, hell your city might even have a public water park/pool like mine does.




  • We don’t need religion, we did at one time. When we didn’t know why or how people got sick, why sometimes crops would be plentiful and other times famine or why the ground shook sometimes or even just figuring out morals

    But we know those things now and when we encounter something we don’t we have the knowledge and tools to figure out what’s up.

    We don’t need churches for a common social place, we have parks, libraries, community centers and community wide events to invest in. We can socialize and learn other cultures around the world in an instant. We don’t just have random villages and tiny cities any more, we have large and diverse cities so we everyone can have a little of everything they’re interested in.

    At this point, all religion does is serve as yet another thing to divide us.




  • Lab grown meat is gonna be even more expensive

    Sounds like the perfect thing to advocate that the government subsidizes while the tech matures and comes down in cost on its own.

    70% is way more than enough there that it’s no excuse to support animal abuse

    Like I said, if I could afford it I would have switched already long ago, I personally am fine with the taste and texture. But for many others, that 30% is gonna be a deal breaker.


  • 2 things, 1) I can’t afford it as a regular item 2) Id say they’re maybe 70% there, there’s still a taste and texture issue. I personally don’t mind it and would happily switch over if it weren’t for #1

    Vegans/Vegetarians will never get the vast majority of people out there to give up meat, best shot is that lab meat if they can get the cost equivalent to real meat.
