Fun fact: "The Tragedy Of the Commons" is a hoax created by the white nationalist Garrett Hardin to justify stealing land from colonized people and moving it from collective ownership, "rescuing" it from the inevitable tragedy by putting it in the hands of a private owner, who will care for it properly, thanks to "rational self-interest":

@pluralistic I learned about the tragedy of the commons in economics classes at university. Strangely enough, none of these neoliberal fuckers said anything about the background and alternatives.

I`m pretty sure some economics departments are more ideologically blind/stuck, than most religious institutions.

Thanks Cory for expanding my horizon!

Challenge: How do I eat a whole pineapple in two days? 🍍 😋
Pure luxury from the Zero Waste Box: a pineapple, lots of grapes and tens of mandarins. It's hard to believe that used to throw this away (which is now banned in France). A box in our costs 3 EUR for 2 kg of "ugly" or overripe vegetables/fruits. The very ripe pineapple smells delicious!

@NatureMC
Toast Hawaii is also a classic and delicious way to eat Pineapple.

Or make a Pico de Gallo with it. That`s amazing as a side with Chili con/sin Carne or Tacos.

Wanted to scratch a shooter itch by installing Star Wars Battlefield II again.

First off: What is an EA App and why will EA always suck so hard? I know the answer is money, but man. They're on an extra level.

Secondly: Got into a match filled with cheaters. Killed any interest in playing.

Thirdly: Uninstalling from said EA App doesn't work, had to delete everything manually and then nuke the EA App.

Bravo EA, bravo. Still top 10 worst companies ever.

@Imperor That`s why I rarely even buy games from AAA companies anymore. They enshittified everything about gaming so much.

Always-on in singleplayer, annoying launchers, incredibly invasive anti cheat measures... that suck at catching cheaters, chat bots instead of support, ...

Indie Games are so much better about all of this!

    Wow, I never expected 7 Days to Die leaving Early Access after this long! Personally, I don't think the game is ready for that yet. The Fun Pimps have a lot of unearned confidence that their game is ready to be considered stable enough for an official 1.0. I am being a snarky git and perhaps this 1.0 launch will all work out for the best. Time will tell!

    From 2010 to 2017, there was a thing called that we Aseans started as a grassroots movement. We were all bloggers from across, well, or South-East Asia.

    Some of us joined together to produce one of the best multi-authored regional blogs. We talked about our cultures, write about what makes the region awesome. As well as, try to address the oftentimes silly and sometimes heated debates.

    It's all gone now. Forgotten. The blogs dead or offline. We all grew up, got busy with our personal lives, and moved on separately. And the important reason? We lost interest in it as we started to see ASEAN was, is, and will never be for the grassroots.

    That was the end of what was once a vibrant grassroot ASEAN Citizens effort. We did it all voluntarily. Without a single recognition from the top-down organisation that is ASEAN.

    I had friends from , , , , , , , , and yes, even from (). (I'm from the .) It was fun. It was not tiring at all. It was because we saw a bright future for ASEAN, and we believed in it completely.

    But today? ASEAN is still a top-down organisation. They kept trying to get the grassroots involved, but they are always failing. Why? Because it is a top-down organisation, as simple as that. They will never understand until they shift their mindset and approach to bottom-up.

    Who is ASEAN really for?

    (P.S I want to restart this grassroots movement, but I just no longer have the spark. Give me a very good reason why I should give it another chance. Or, at least, guide the new generation.)

    The U.S. National Hot Dog and Sausage Council (aka Big Hot Dog) puts out a figure each year claiming to be the number of hot dogs an American eats annually and it's big. 70 hot dogs a year — not including bratwursts, sausages, veggie dogs, or pigs-in-blankets! Defector's Kelsey McKinney wrote this exhaustive investigation on where the heck this number comes from. To augment her research, fediverse-style, we want to know roughly how many hot dogs you personally consume a year. Story may be paywalled.

    @CultureDesk
    Do you actually inted to use the Fediverse a survey tool? The typical Fedi user does by no means reflect the general population. The relative amount of veggies and CO2 concious eaters is a lot higher, than in the general public. Also the Fediverse has a high EU population, where american style hot dogs are not as popular as in the US.

    The only thing that survey will show is the hot dog consumption of global Fediverse users. And evon then it`s skewed by the bubbles its shared into.

    Addressing indoor air quality saves lives and helps us achieve at work, in school, and in self-governance.

    Brain function declines by 15% as CO2 levels hit 945ppm, and by 50% at 1400ppm.

    Have you ever measured CO2 at your desk or a contentious City Council meeting? What you find might surprise you!

    These scientists recommend mandating clean air in public buildings, with 800ppm as the upper limit. That's good policy: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adl0677

    goblin,
    @goblin@social.tchncs.de avatar

    @josh Hey Josh, are you sure about the percentages you quote?

    From my own experiences I know, that 1500ppm can come within <30min in a crowded room and exceed that by far if time goes on. While in these cases I felt a bit slower it surely wasn`t close to a decrease in brain function of 50% or above.

    The following article mentions a decrease of brain function by 1-2% per increase of 500 ppm CO2:

    What makes people jump right to that?

    It bugs me for a bunch of reasons.

    1. Yes, I am busy too. I make time because it relaxes me.

    2. No, I don't care how much you read and I'm not judging you. You don't need to defend yourself.

    Same thing if people hear, that someone does not drink alcohol. Either peple get defensive and try to justify their alcohol consumption (which noone talked about), or they go on the offensive and try to "convert" the person to try Alkohol X, because "its the best, youll like it".

    I think it`s a way people react to cognitive dissonance between what they think is good and their actual differing behaviour.

    youronlyone, to Philippines
    @youronlyone@c.im avatar

    Visiting the or already here? Here's yet another set of tips from !

    Topic: Fruits!

    Never leave the Philippines without eating these fruits, and taking a bunch with you when you fly home.

    Mangosteen

    While popular in Southeast Asia, the Mangosteen in the Philippines is the best variant in the world. Mangosteen is plenty and cheap in the country. You can find it anywhere, from wet markets to supermarkets to street stalls.

    There are also many other products made from Mangosteen, from coffee to juice to daily supplements, even a candy and cookies!

    Banana (local: saging)

    Like Mangosteen, Philippine bananas are the best in the world. There was even a joke how a Philippine banana was exported in the West, and a local restaurant bought banana supplies from those countries and used it, hence, their very simple banana dish (that is ₱20 elsewhere) is worth a Big Mac (₱200). Without them realising the banana they imported originated from their neighbour.

    Of course it's a joke. Or maybe not. (We did have an incident like this decades ago, for shoes. Marikina-made shoes were exported. Branded. And then that brand sold it here. 🤣)

    Trivia: An endemic banana, "abaca", is also used to produce "Manila Hemp", which is expensive.

    Mangoes (local: mangga)

    Yes, the best in the world too! Some of our Asian neighbours visit the Philippines just to eat Philippine mangoes, because it's very expensive in their country.

    Pineapple (local: pinya)

    The best? Well, some of those popular foreign pineapple brands actually have farms here in the Philippines because they found that Philippine-produced pineapples are better.

    Trivia: Pineapple was brought here during the colonial era. It's not endemic.

    Trivia: Pineapple fibres are used to make clothes, and are usually expensive. It's the most common Philippine linen. Filipinos were the first to create clothes from Pineapple fibres. In fact, like the Coconut, Filipinos found use to everything Pineapple, generally, nothing goes to waste.

    @youronlyone @pilipinas @philippines If you take fruits or meat products to your home country, make sure to check import laws in your home country. Otherwise you may get a nasty surprise at customs.

    This may lead to confiscation and even hefty fines by the customs office.

    Usually you can check the import laws at the website of the customs department.

    My discipline, anthropology, is not seen as a “growth" discipline, and departments are being closed down. But the world needs Anthropology and Anthropologists now more than ever!

    Here are my 8 reasons for this:

    1. POSSIBILITIES
      At a time of polycrisis, when the destructive fallouts of capitalist modernity are ever more apparent, anthropology highlights that there are myriad alternative ways of thinking and living; that there is so much to learn from other peoples in the world. 1/n

    @pvonhellermannn
    In this world, only things, that can be monetized directly, have value.

    Culture, empathy or beauty are only seen as "useless" and burden, if they don`t turn a profit.

    I love quantitative statistics, but it only feeds into this narrative, because everything, that is not easily quantifyable, is just kicked out the dataset, to avoid "muddling" the model. Thats where anthropology and neighbouring disciplines are immensly valuable.
