  • Retail stores rarely carry a phone older than two years, as long as they push new phones every year, people will be buying those phones.

    OEM’s could have like 3 battery types, mass produce these 3 and offer battery replacement for maybe 30 bucks or less? OEM’s could have like 3 phone designs and update the internals, making each screen replacement maybe 50 bucks or less? Instead each has unique screen, motherboard, subboard and battery combo. My 10y/o nokia has the same battery as a new one, they cost like 5 bucks each.

    Needless to say I love the EU for bringing back user serviceable batteries, that’s a great start.


  • Firstly, this is for creating concrete on mars, where resources are very scarce and making regular concrete is not viable. Secondly, to survive martian conditions, we need to build bases, a lot of very sturdy, structurally sound bases. And lastly, before the potato based concrete, blood was genuinely the most viable solution, being an easily renewable resource. IIRC the martian concrete is now magnitudes better than regular concrete.






  • it would be a lot less extreme than 4chan is

    I don’t really think so, every online fora I’ve been a part of starts unmoderated, and it works, for years sometimes. But every single time without fail when a platform reaches a critical mass, moderation becomes necessary.

    I think putting a digital mask on shows the true nature of people, and moderation is the only way of keeping conversation* civil on the internet.


  • 4chan is what the internet would look like if everything had the bare minimum of moderation. Actually a very interesting case study about the human psyche, and I’ve had many a interesting conversation on there, especially early internet days.

    Is it a shithole? Overall, yes. But the right board at the right time is truly early internet ethos.





  • Oh no you’re mistaken, I got incredibly lucky. But after more than a decade I can confidently say that I’ve never seemed more desirable since I have nothing to prove. That confidence is what I’m talking about, I’ve seen many people try hard and fail. I’ve seen many more people try less and succeed.

    It will, maintaining friendships and especially new ones requires a lot of effort. I’m saying when you meet people you don’t think they’ll be your SO, but rather a new friend. That’s now an entirely different conversation, one which has a much more relaxed nature, increasing the chances of a potential relationship.

    That’s the thing, it will work 100% guaranteed. As long as you’re open to new friendships. Will the first person fall in love with you? Probably not. The second? Also probably not. That’s the beauty of it, you’ll either have an SO or a ton of friends, and having a friend of the opposite gender is like wingman paradise.
