Es ist seit einiger Zeit interessant zu beobachten wie auf dem deutschsprachigen Lemmy hauptsächlich über Energie geredet wird während das im englischsprachigen eher ein untergeordnetes Thema ist. Ich frage mich, warum das so ist.

Jedenfalls wurde das 20. Jhdt stark geprägt von den fossilen Rohstoffen und dem Erdöl auf das die USA einen sehr starken Einfluss hatten in der Form des Petrodollar: Alle Länder handeln ihr Öl in Dollar, das die US-Zentralbank drucken kann.

Mittlerweile dreht sich das um: Anstatt dass die USA einen starken Einfluss auf die Erzeugung von Öl hat, haben China und Deutschland einen starken Einfluss auf die Produktion von Solarzellen und Windräder. Weil 99% aller Solarzellen werden in China gefertigt, und ein großer Teil der Windräder in Deutschland (Siemens Energy).

Dadurch hat man bei den erneuerbaren sowas wie ein Duopol (Zwei große Anbieter). Und da macht es natürlich Sinn, dass in Deutschland sehr viel darüber kommuniziert wird. Weil das ist ja Zukunftstechnologie.

no, like, i get what you’re saying but you’re only partially correct

your take essentially boils down to “the government can do whatever it wants, can distribute wealth however it wants, can make as much debt as it wants to, and can raise as many taxes as it wants to”

while partially correct, it’s not entirely correct because the more wealth redistribution the government does, i.e. the more taxes and spending the government does, the bigger the influence of the government on people’s lifes will be, and i think that makes people dependent on the government which is not good because it’s a single point of failure and sets society up for future disruptions.

i believe: government needs to intervene as much as necessary but as little as possible.

which means more wealth redistribution from rich to poor today because that’s necessary, but we should eventually get to a state again where that redistribution is limited in the future.

I’m pretty convinced that every animal can eat almost any food as long as they can have access to it. Like, dogs can eat bread and potatoes, just that they never manage to dig that up in nature.

crazy take that cats shouldn’t go outside because that’s bad for them when that’s literally what they’re made for

the chicken are raised in a streamlined process sothat the land area usage is used to produce the maximum amount of birds

meanwhile wild birts are wildly inefficient with their food so eating 1 wild bird consumes waaay more land area than eating 1 industrially farmed bird.

could we get a tl;dw?

people have no money -> people spend no money

i mean that’s how it has always been. look at who was ruling in antiquity and medieval age, it was mostly elderly people. it’s not news. that doesn’t mean that i agree with it, just that it’s not news.

ragebait. pure ragebait. everything this administration does seems to be an intense kind of ragebait. “all attention is good attention” or sth, idk.

we’re made to have more sex in our lifes but we don’t because modern society makes that close to impossible. so our brain tries to fill up in the evening.

noo haha i don’t reject mainstream because it’s mainstream, i reject mainstream because it’s often stupid and bland.

for example i do dress more feminine nowadays which is mainstream in the social circle that i frequent, which i wouldn’t have dared earlier. but i do it because i like it, not because it’s mainstream.

kein problem ;-)

i … don’t? i don’t get it? is this some reference?

that article is full of shit. i didn’t read all of it because it became clear that it was shit rather quickly.

basically the author is most afraid that the US is gonna be treated how it has treated the rest of the world in the past. well, that says a lot more about the US than about china.

upvoting for the “baby”

catholic high schools would be cool if only they weren’t catholic and also they weren’t high schools.

8 years of my life wasted

i mean i agree that most people prefer to live in small groups. i was just pointing it out for reasons that i now forgot.

also, Johnny, it’s really weird to be called by name somehow. especially mid-conversation.

oooooooh i get it now, pan-cake lol i never thought about that before

well here in austria we call them palatschinken so there’s no “pan” in that word at all.
