   Can you imagine being an intelligent life form visiting earth and finding out that we've figured out how to harness nuclear fission as well as produce artificial fusion, but all we've done with it is make really big bombs and our current solution to climate change is to basically just put fucking solar panels and windmills on every surface

     @malwaretech Windmills mill grain.
     
     They're wind turbines.
     
     The problem isn't that the climate is changing, the problem is the global heating.
     
     >amounts of dinosaur juice
     Coal is from ancient trees (before unicellular life forms worked out how to break down cellulose etc).
     
     Oil and gas is mostly from ancient zooplankton and algae, although it seems possible that some dinosaurs got buried with the algae.

     @Suiseiseki Out of interest, how many invites to parties have you received in your lifetime?

     @malwaretech A few while I was a minor.
     
     I've also received a few invites to parties after that, but I've turned them down (too boring).
