I think they mostly do it to increase the amount they can extract? And also possibly to lower prices below competitor prices.

science@lemmy.world•A slice of a meteorite believed to contain 4,500,000,000-year-old materialEnglish
20·3 小时前That is something that i never got. Isn’t all material that old? I mean it didn’t spontaneously jump into existence at a later time.
did you know that the printing press (with movable letters) was invented in china around 1000 AD?
the only reason why the modern age wasn’t started in china (instead of in europe) is because the chinese alphabet was too complicated for the printing press (too many letters to search from). the latin alphabet is simpler and therefore didn’t have that problem

mathematics, an elegant weapon, for a more … civilized age
I can define the nature of the topological matrix we are not IN but rather ARE, but I don’t know a damn dinky how to shake a person’s hand right. Do I go in for the hug on the first interview?
modern society sucks for that reason; all of these unnecessary and often arbitrary rules about what is “normal” in society more often than not make absolutely no sense, and you’re not to blame for this. it’s well known that autistic people struggle with “normal” human interactions for this precise reason.
what it means to be human
is to live in a society.
yeah the same applies to fish of course as well
you can outright taste when the fish was badly killed. it tastes like shit.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Nobody can ever automate the creation of handmade things
14·21 小时前this is the turing test all over again: you can’t actually tell whether it’s handmade or made by a machine.
dang that sounds so unhinged once i type it out loud.
here's the explanation
Well the back yard wasn’t really fenced in and neighbors could easily walk in and through as a shortcut to the bus stop, and in fact they did all the time. Anyways i dug the hole and a girl from the neighborhood saw me do that and came to walk by and ask me what the hell i was doing there. i was telling her that i was digging for water, and well, the rest is a secret.
i once dug a hole in my (parent’s) back yard to search for water.
well i didn’t find water but i found a girlfriend. (no joke)

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•not being able to experience a full-body-orgasm is just another example of the sad male reality.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do we have alcohol advertisements. We don't allow cigarettes to advertise
4·2 天前there should obviously be indexes which tell you what stuff exists. stuff like amazon where you search for “desk” and it shows you the 10 desk providers that can be delivered to your location.
From giving majority credit for showing your full work in maths
i think every good maths teacher does it like that.
if you think about it, boats can’t go above a certain speed (hull speed) and airplanes can’t go below a certain speed (or they would stall). Really makes you think

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Anyone feeling like doesn't belong anywhere?
4·2 天前Yeah i have that.
My best advice is that it matters more where you’re going than where you’re coming from.
