Have you ever played the telephone game? Things change as people retell a story. Science is based on information directly from the source. It has to be verifiable. It's ok to use the stories to learn about a culture and their history, but they aren't suitable for science.

This is the Reddit replacement website. Everyone here probably came from Reddit. What do you expect?

What exactly do you think a meme is?

Everything on the Internet is stolen from somewhere. Reddit was at least half twitter screenshots.

No discovery is useless. Even if it isn't used now, it could lay the groundwork for more useful discoveries later.

30k is still too expensive for that. 20k.

Whales definitely do. They even have regional accents. It probably isn't as complex as ours, but we can't even understand that.

Saving power for even a few extra months still saves money. You can have both a heat pump and a normal gas furnace. They aren't even that expensive. If you have a high heating bill, it could pay itself off in a few years.

From what I've seen it's that they just aren't ready. They don't actually work that well, they're fragile, and very expensive. I agree they should still at least give them to more people than they seem to be doing. Some people have to be able to afford them even if they need replaced often.

Just put the laser high enough above the ground, like in orbit, and nothing will ever reach the lens.

How exactly is that a strawman argument? You act like technology does nothing for us. I agree that fighting for higher wages and other protections also makes things better. I don't understand why any of this makes the luddites right. Tech literally does work for us. You say tech makes people appear richer but it really only hurts us. What about medicine? What about the learning we can do through the Internet? What about the million other things that we can do that our ancestors couldn't?

Yeah bring back telephone operators too while we're at it! No one should ever lose a job! Jobs are a person's whole life and they should get to do it even if something else could do it better!
