Thanks a mil, just fixed this
I thought of adding a relevant link from Declassified UK. It’s a list of UK MPs funded by the Israel Lobby. At the bottom of this list are the Israeli organisations that do the funding.

Fungi: mycelia, mushrooms & more@slrpnk.net•Fungi turn shredded mattress foam into lightweight building insulation
2·29 days agoFor the first part, I suppose the answer is that the products made from mycelium (like insulations, packaging, furniture etc) they are dried beforehand, and the fungus dies. If it is not dried well, you get mushrooms. So, in a giy (grow it yourself) project, if the fungus used is an edible one, the failed projects gives you lunch. This is a process: Flower Pot from Mycelium and Cardboard
For the second part, about the rats, I really don’t know but I will keep an eye out for this topic.

Solarpunk@slrpnk.net•Technology Connections - You are being misled about renewable energy technology.
1·1 month agoI am saying “isn’t earmarked for the federal government” and you come up with a fact check saying that it is not earmarked for military use. Which is the same thing.
No. “Isn’t earmarked for the federal government” is not the same as “isn’t earmarked for military use".
Any links to back what you say would be highly appreciated.

1·1 month agoI’m really sorry that this is what you got from what I wrote. I definitely don’t think we should keep using fossil fuel. On the contrary, I am all in for phasing out extractions and usage.

2·1 month agoCuz the US strategic oil reserve isn’t earmarked for the federal government
According to a factcheck site it looks like the U.S. Oil Reserve Created for Supply Disruptions, Not Strictly Military Use. So maybe your statement is wrong? Otherwise could you share the source you got this from?
the share of the military energy usage in the federal energy usage is entirely meaningless tot the oil consumption of the US economy
I don’t understand what you are saying, could you please explain and/or share a relevant link? Btw maybe I should clarify that by talking about “consumption” I was not talking in economic terms, just in the sense of “utilizing”.

424·1 month agoI have watched only a few minutes of this vid so far, as well as the timestamps and I must admit I don’t agree with this approach because of something I learned today.
He says around 2 m something like: the strategic US reserve of oil even tho the number of barrels sounds huge, they could sustain the US only a month of our current use. From the context my understanding is that he implies that this is due to casual, everyday-people consumption.
Well, it looks like the Department of Defense is the U.S. government’s largest fossil fuel consumer, accounting for between 77% and 80% of all federal government energy consumption since 2001. So why is this huge percentage missing from this long analysis?
Anyways, if he talks about the US military petroleum consumption, please let me know. Or if I got something wrong with this new info I got about the US military, let me know too.

Environment@beehaw.org•All Plastics Eating Bacterias is Only Way to Get Rid of Plastics & Making It Illegal to Produce A Single New Piece of Plastic Anything, But to Go about It is Extremely Serious Issue.
2·1 month agoI tend to agree with several things you talk about, but I have the impression we see things differently. For example, on one hand I agree with you when you say that we cannot let the Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners to just produce even a single new piece of plastic, but on the other hand for me the root of the problem is that the extraction of oil worldwide is still expanding instead of phasing out. Meaning that, as long as this is the case, more and more plastic will be produced.
Apart from that, of course bacteria eating plastics sound like a great option, but they are not the only way to get rid of plastics. Some alternatives would be fungi that “eat” plastic, or mycelium that replace plastics. Here are some relevant articles.

Fungi: mycelia, mushrooms & more@slrpnk.net•Chernobyl Fungus Appears to Have Evolved an Incredible Ability
2·2 months agoI think it’s important to clarify that radiosynthesis is just an unproven theory for now, for some fungi. For this reason, I don’t understand how you can jump into conclusions about plants, since we don’t even know if it is the case for these specific fungi.

1·2 months agoDammit you are so correct! I thought this was in reference to the carrots, but it doesn’t make sense in reality. Anyways, instead of replacing the subtitle I used, with the actual title, I will remove it for another reason (specifically, promoting circular economy). Thank you anyways, I shouldn’t post before properly waking up…
Since the following book is mentioned in this video, I thought of adding a link to download and/or listen to it.
I thought of adding the Know your rights link that is included in the text, for easy access, and because it has a reasoning that can be useful elsewhere too.

6·2 months agoThere is also the option of Session and similar apps that don’t use mail or phone number. From my experience with it, it was super easy to use and even tho at first it was quite buggy, but the devs were constantly improving it. I haven’t used it for a couple of years now, and was great then for the way we used it - but I wouldn’t be surprised if it is even better now. I mean, I hope!

22·2 months agoThank you for the clarification. The way I see things it is a military alliance for sure, but defense is the pretext. Let’s keep in mind that the military spending is called Defense Budget. Even the US who has waged too many offensive wars all over the world last century (as well as being actively involved in so many more, and in political coups that used military) call it this way.
So it makes me wonder: defense of what actually?
