Nur 3 % von nur 13,7 Milliarden Litern Erdöl pro Tag sind natürlich keine Kleinigkeit.

Überraschenderweise verbraucht das Recycling von Aluminium viel weniger Energie als das von Glas oder Kunststoff.

Aber ich trinke mein Bier viel lieber aus Glas, schmeckt am besten. Bier aus Plastik ist zum Kotzen. Bier aus Alu überlebe ich wenn es sein muss.

Das niedrige Pfand auf Glas stört mich vor allem deshalb, weil Glas schwer ist, in meiner Tasche klappert und sich nicht wieder verschließen lässt. Das macht das Zurückbringen von Glas immer so unangenehm, und deshalb möchte ich dafür mehr zurückbekommen!

Diese 8 Cent werden irgendwann so wertlos sein, dass sich nicht einmal Obdachlose mehr die Mühe machen werden.

Diese Regelung ist ein Albtraum. Döner in Alufolie: 50 Cent. Döner in Papier: 50 Cent. Kann mir mal jemand erklären, warum ein dünnes Stück Papier genauso schädlich für die Umwelt sein soll wie Alufolie? Und es gibt überhaupt keine mehrweg Alternative zu einem Döner.

Ich habe viele Probleme mit Merz, sein Alter gehört nicht dazu.

A fine is brushed off in a quarter. They should be forced to split into seperate companies.

It’s not 2007. Devices are everywhere now, smartphones, TV’s etc. The social dimension (social pressure) and implications are very different now. Their power increases, amount of people caught in the loop is immense now. 2007 was all still fun and games.

Some things you should only eat when they’re in season near you…

Almost everyone with a playstation 1 I knew, had the ‘special’ version with a custom chip so you could play copied discs…

Same with pc games, copying was very common and not even looked down upon by others, more sort of admired (“can you copy this one for me??”)

When I looked in to it on one of my parents’ sides, it’s like 15 generations/450 years of almost no mobility on a ±30km² area of 4 small villages around the same river… Only 2 generations ago did some break away from the area, mainly to larger cities nearby and for all the hundreds of others in the tree I researched I found only 1 older move to a big city about 150y ago. I’m assuming the no-mobility tree (tho sources end in middle ages) continues like that to Roman times and even further back. Before trains and cars, many people didn’t leave their birth area at all during their entire life.

I’m assuming labour cost is still pretty low in Southern Italy, because in North/Western Europe you can have a kitchen and a bathroom renovated for that money, but no way build an entire house.

It’s not only speculation, it’s also because some locations are a lot more wanted by many people to live there: right next to a big park, walkable neighbourhood, city amenities nearby but few city problems, no highway audible when sleeping with open window et cetera et cetera. More people want to live in prime locations than prime location housing is available.

The big scam are the insane prices for run down shoebox-apartments in shitty locations.

Ja natürlich. Für 1.600.000.000 € könnte man jeder erwachsene in Deutschland 23,5 € Rabatt geben auf Deutschlandticket für ne Monat. Wäre toller. Oder jeder bekommt 23,5€ bar und mach damit was du willst.

Your reasoning about Poland would also fit Germany, yet it’s a very diverse country in the cities now… Also has language with very long words with a lot of consonants (“Angstschweiß” “Weihnachtsschmuck” …) and they didn’t really get successful colonies going (Namibia perhaps the most). They also carry quite the “reputation”. I think for most European countries current diversity has more to do with inviting Gastarbeiter (Italian, Turkish, Moroccan…) and/or Soviet style topdown relocation programs of millions of people across the country (Siberia …), and somehow Poland had few of both those scenarios? Anyhow I don’t think difficulty of pronouncing polish language is the cause of low diversity.

I think the album cover is usually no issue at all. Album covers are basically advertisements.

More important than ratio is how many seeds are left. Keep the ones that are low on seeds, ditch the ones where there are hundreds of others seeding.
