Population reduction will cause a lot of interim pain but might be what we need to increase the sustainability of the planet. In next 70 years, we might see a drastic reduction in populations of china and India as well. The lower human population will hopefully allow the planet to recover from the last 100 years uncontrolled resource extraction.
I doubt these trucks can be driven around in European or Asian roads. They seem so humongous. Even cargo vehicles which transport goods across the city are much smaller than these in India. Why are trucks so popular in the US? Does everyone haul things often? Are cargo trucks not rentable?
The leaders of India and Sri Lanka have agreed to improve their countriesโ economic and energy ties, as well as consider building a land link between them....
Itโs quite costly to go srilanka today from Tamilnadu in South of India. Because only flights are available and they cost more than 100USD which is unaffordable for many in India. However if a land bridge exists, folks already on religious tourism trip in South India can go to srilanka for cheap. This should boost both Srilankan tourism and also Indian trade to Sri Lanka as freight will become cheaper as well.
I think lemmy just blew up overnight.So we have become a target for folks who might have never known we existed prior.Sooner or later, the project needs to attract some pen testers to keep ahead. Luckily the hijackers were not very malicious this time. But could get worse as we grow. We are all in for a bumpy ride and it feels weirdly refreshing.
Seems like very little but single use plastic packaging is so horrible to the environment and it so low in the totem pole of priorities, it reflects the complete lack of concern for the environment by the government world over. Happy that something like this is done atleast now. Wish there was a global ban on single use plastics like chemical weapons because if we think about it, single use plastic is a slow killing chemical weapon.
This should be big - and about time. Studies have known about this for 40 years, and it's known in some circles that aspartame is quite bad for your health....
There are so many artificial sweetners in the market now.Even purely natural onea like stevia powders have maltitol added to it. It might be better to give up sweet things completely may be with the exception of fruits for better health.
I think there are some fruits which have been around in different varieties. In India, we have so many varieties of bananas, some of which are less sweet. Then there are also seasonal fruits like JackFruit, Mangos , Papaya which are all quite sweet and are mostly in their natural form. Again there are so may varieties that we can pick the one most suited to our taste :). That said, such sweet fruits are still bad in large amounts.
It is sad to see the death spiral of print journalism. The constant barrage of TV news and its highly negative tone is poisoning society. I feel life was more peaceful when news came in papers in the morning and evening editions. There was no user tracking or analytics. While you had tabloids, you also had quality papers focused on plain news and opinions in the opinion pages. I feel the world at least in terms of news consumption has changed for the worse.

Hey Lemmy! I have a rather unusual request that requires your creative thinking. I'm embarking on a 3-day pooping marathon (don't ask why), and I need food suggestions that will maximize my bathroom visits. Feel free to get wild with your ideas! Bonus points if the food also makes me sweat. Let's make this a memorable...
When a party form a government on its own i.e without any coalition partners, they tend to target the opposition with all the arsenal be it CBI , ED and sometimes even the Judiciary. However the elections are fair and impartial for the most part. Just recently, BJP got its ass handed to it in a state election in Karnataka. They may win the federal election again but it is hardly a death of democracy. Their grip on states have been slipping and once it goes out, they will most likely lose the federal government as well. The same happened during Indira Gandhi era. The same is happening now. Democracy survived then and will survive now. I am not saying there is no assault on democratic institutions in India. But they have proved resilient enough to prevent a democratic collapse as portrayed in this article.
