restaurants need to update their sea-food preparation methods to "boiled in sea water and including extra plastic"

Crazy article

Paywalled article

This is all so depressing, it's making me think I should stop powering my music studio via coal furnace/ diesel genny and just plug it all into the mains

death valley will be a blood boiling 128 degrees while anywhere stupid enough to be close to that location will be cooking humans alive

What's 128 degrees in the normal temperature scale that the rest of the world uses please

I think we're gonna see some wild shit in our lifetimes.

Next 100 years will be something.

I am trying to wrap my head around how quickly it actually is all just falling apart.

yeah i honestly don't feel like things are going to "go back to normal". it's all just going to keep compounding - the environmental stuff, the political tension, the disintegration of cohesive social structure etc. It feels a bit disingenuous (perhaps wishful thinking) when i see news articles now going "face it folks, it's time to get back to the office". to me that just feels like big financial capital trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube so they can secure their gated farming communities & armed bodyguard militias before shit really starts to fall apart. things aren't going back to normal imo. maybe we'll have a year or two of "kinda" normal. like being on an airplane with the engine stops but it hasn't gone into a nosedive yet, it's just coasting. Like being at a party where everyone can feel some sort of violent confrontation building, but it hasn't occured yet. everyone laughing a little too loud, being a little too jovial, trying desperately to disguise the nervous energy.

Well said. Sigh. 

The whole humanity is addicted to fossil fuel and technological utopia and we're still in denial stage acting like we don't have a problem. 

But you know, humans have been through lots of various shit through out history, i think we'll figure it out, but we will probably have to hit a few serious walls before cause humans like to learn the hard way.

I could see parts of the world going back to a more feudal society, if their governments break down bc of COVID instability, climate change, resource shortage, overpopulation, etc. It will be an interesting century, but I can’t see how it will end better than it began.
