In a parallel universe, someone is memeing about how teachers waste our time on useless stuff and never taught us to convert between units.

Just put ads up, we'll live, and if we cant, we'll make another website

All I know is you shouldn't drink a ton of red gatorade midway through a night of heavy drinking.

When you start to throw up, your friends will assume you are vomiting blood and call an ambulance or possibly an exorcist.

No joke. What exactly don't you understand?

People in the US have been burning carbon at an extraordinary rate since the Industrial Revolution, in the 1900s.

Still to this day they burn carbon at a rate of 14.44 tonnes per person per year.

Chinese people burn 8.85 tonnes per person per year.

They burn that carbon running cars, generating electicity, living their lives.

If we are measuring how much CO2 countries have contributed, China has decades of shitty energy production up on the US. They may be a ruthless authoritarian communist state, but they are the not the ones responsible for climate change.

Also, half of the emissions they create are producing your cheap plastic crap to be bought on Amazon

That's exactly what I mean.

More importantly, the per capita rate for the US (and Australia and Canada etc) is far worse. You may hate the chinese government, but can you explain to me why Chinese people dont have the right to drive cars and run refrigerators, but people in the US do?

Fuck China, but when it comes to carbon emissions, they could burn coal for another 50 years and still not be as bad as the united states.

You may not like it, but this is peak performance.

Actually, you probably would like it.

If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

I'm afraid that is going to be the case anywhere there is moderation... even here.
