I've heard that certain well-connected people have been banned, like wall street people and politicians, but they know who to call at reddit HQ and get themselves unbanned. That's not the case for the rest of us, and I don't know about the rest of you but I can't afford a lawyer.

I was thinking about this today. They even have a thread over at reddit about it. The admins tried to tell people they only permaban after issueing several temp bans.

No they don't. I've only ever gotten permabans. I also don't think anything I did (some angry shitposts. No threats, harassment, or anything like that) deserved a permaban. Like they could have given me a temp ban or a subreddit ban, and I would have been fine with that. They for some reason went nuclear on me and went straight to site-wide permaban. I don't know why, I filed appeals, I sent messages. I tried to reason with them. Nothing. They go nuclear as standard practice and are completely inflexible about it.

Maybe not, but there are plenty of small niche communities that only exist at reddit. I'm a fan of some games like Voices of the Void, which has a dedicated reddit community that doesn't exist anywhere else. Also Isekai Demon Waifu, which recently shut down also has a community at reddit.

Lemmy has some generalized gaming communities but nothing like the thousands and thousands of small niche communities that exist over at reddit.

I suspect this has more to do with an increase of soft drink and energy drink consumption, causing people to drink less water. Supplements shouldn't be any more harmful to you than the food you eat. Linking it to supplements is an example of correlation does not mean causation, and I think big pharma has an axe to grind because they can't patent most supplements.

tar, formaldehyde, and benzene are all added to cigarettes. Tar is a binder, the formaldehyde is a preservative, and benzene is an accelerant. The problem is that all of these things are toxic and/or cancerous.

Smoking loose leaf tobacco is the healthiest way to do it if that's what you want to do. The little foam filters in cigarettes do nothing and the additives added to processed tobacco make it much more unhealthy.

Absolutely yes. One of my favorite anime is GATE. It has a portal open from a alternate world at Roman level technology with legions and classical architecture, but it has dragons, elves, and magic and they send an army through to invade modern day Japan. The counter-attack is insane. Do a google search for "massacre of alnus hill"

I don't smoke myself but you need to know that cigarettes are super-processed crap. They intentionally add more poisonous shit to them. Even I like the smell of loose leaf tobacco smoked in a pipe, or in a quality cigar. The reason people first started smoking tobacco is because it smells good. But you're right that's not cigarettes.

There could be two ways to address this problem. One is asteroid mining, which has the potential to be extremely lucrative because there are lots of asteroids with huge metal deposits.

Another is discovering new conductors. There's been progress in developing conductive plastics. https://phys.org/news/2022-10-scientists-material-plastic-metal.html
