RememberTheApollo_, to memes in It's just a coffee

I’m not drinking 6 specialty cups of coffee every day.

cerulean_blue,

Sounds like someone didn’t have their morning coffee today

(It’s per month but woteva)

My very hyperbolic point was that most of us don’t subscribe to just one service. Pretty easy to subscribe to multiple of these and others like cloud backup services, car navigation, and other media like maybe even a news service. That’s a lot of subscriptions, and companies are trying to find even more ways to make us pay subscriptions. Everything from having to pay subscriptions to have parts of your car work to computer games. My point was a sarcastic take on how much we are being forced to subscribe to if we want to participate in what constitutes “normal” things these days.

twitter is the most embarrassing one on here by a thousand miles

Especially considering most Twitter bluechecks today are bot accounts doing chatgpt responses

Living life in the present age is being almost constantly under pressure from people trying to influence you to do what they want (which is what Advertising is: sales pressure, often of the slimy kind that tries to influence you subconsciously).

Properly trying to do what is rationally in your own self-interest whilst minimizing the influence (as I mentioned, because Marketing nowadays use techniques from Psychology, commonly subconsciously) from those trying to manipulate you into giving them your money is tiresome, to say the least.

Just the other day I saw the new Aquaman film and the amount of in-your-face Product Placement (mainly of a known beer brand) was literally disgusting and significantly spoiled the film (which, frankly, wasn’t all that great to begin with - Special Effect rompfest with bad writting).

I saw my buddy watch the Aquaman film yesterday, and his face was glued to the screen like a child. Seeing anything Marvel or that other one in Europe is like, how do these people just eat this war mongering blatant military propaganda ultraconsumerist bullshit right up like that?

But then I remember it’s because of brainwashing since birth.

Aceticon,

Brainless violent rompfest films are basically chewing gum for the brain.

I wouldn’t read too much into it.

I wouldn’t read too much into the 24/7 broadcast of government propaganda installed in every apartment either, truth be told.

A trillion of an SI prefix will always be silly. Just use a bigger prefix!

While I agree, most people know tera- at this point. Most people probably do not know zetta- yet.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Most of us aren’t used to “terrawatts” though. Is that like one Earth worth of watts? One watt as measured on Earth? The definition of watt culturally accepted by Earthlings?

You wouldn’t find a terawatt in everyday usage, but a terawatt-hour is pretty commonplace when talking about the energy usage of entire populations.

This Reuters article states US power demand will climb to “4,027 billion kWh in 2022.” Yeah, just say 4 PWh. Or even 4,027 TWh. It’s a little more easily digested.

It’s already an incomprehensably high number. No matter which way you state it is going to fly over peoples heads.

And the entire electricity consumption of the planet is something like 25.5 petawatt-houts.

Interesting_Test_814,

I think theperson you’re replying to was making a joke off the misspelling of “terrawatts” in OP.

thanks_shakey_snake,

Oh that’s super interesting and I did not know that, but I was riffing off the double R in “terrawatt,” instead of “terawatt.”

Like “tera” describes an order of magnitude, but “terra” means “earth,” as in “terra firma,” “terra nova,” or “terran.”

So I guess you could say that 25.5 petawatt-hours = 25,500 terawatt-hours = 1 terrawatt-hour.

zzzz,

And how’re we supposed to learn when y’all keep dumbing shit down?

I would love For All Mankind to lead into Star Trek. How awesome of a crossover universe would that be?

I don’t think you drank too much coffee, I think it was a perfect amount.

natarey,

That’s how I’ve explained it to friends – “It’s the Star Trek prequel series you actually want to watch.”

But it’s in incomplete list. Without boobs, it isn’t a fair comparison.

Master,

Dyson sphere has boobs

cmgvd3lw,

But no nipples

Mannimarco,

Boobs are pretty neat

argh_another_username, to memes in Choose carefully

The size of your mother. ✔️ ❌

I feel like it could also lead into the expanse, early Mars…

Yeah FAM 100% feels like Expanse: The Prequel to me but totally different in tone and format. Just this last season I think we witnessed the genesis of the OPA and MCR.

Zoboomafoo,

There’s a colony ship in The Expanse named Mark Watney, so I like to think it’s the same timeline
