TootSweet, in This Pickle

Is that a pickle in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

over_clox,

Yes

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

It’s got a flared end so I can safely put it in my asshole.

I just finished reading (listening to the AudioBook of) The Truth by Terry Pratchett. This would be one of Mr. Windlings pickles.

That was exactly what I was going to say, though it was a re-read for me :)

Same as. The new Audiobook is much higher audio quality than the earlier Audiobooks. They are all different in different ways and I find that I get more out of the original text after “reading” different narrations/adaptions.

Oh so people are gonna start slapping Joe Biden “I did that” stickers all over gas pumps now in celebration right?

LoamImprovement,

Lol of course not, it’ll be Trump stickers this time.

Anticorp,

He lowered gas prices and he wasn’t even the president. Truly a man of the people.

Crashumbc,

The biggest problem with his faction, is they would believe EXACTLY that.

Anticorp,

Right? It’s so weird that a bunch of blue collar Americans have latched on to a NYC trust fund billionaire, and think he has their interests at heart.

vivadanang,

If he wasn’t a racist piece of trash, I’d totally agree to you. He found the exact tool needed to ‘engage’ that audience. Makes me ashamed that the vapid racist population represents enough of a voting block that it was successful the first time.

Or the rise of wind mills, solar panels, and electric cars also decrease the demand… get 2 economists in a room and get 3 opinions.

Take this with a giant grain of salt.

fmstrat,

Highly likely given the NuScale news

AA5B,

I’m looking for the (long, drawn out) end of the gasoline industry, where we enter a virtuous cycle of:

  • reduced demand
  • lower prices
  • a few fossil fuel companies cut back or go out of business
  • reduced supply
  • higher prices
  • more usages switch to renewables
  • repeat
Sgt_choke_n_stroke,

I mean you don’t see demand for whale blubber for lanterns.

That’s gonna be the end result

Risk,

Plastics.

They’re a small part of what we use oil for though. Significant, but a hell of a lot smaller than fuel

Kbin_space_program,

The problem is that the rich are hiding that they're shit with money and can't pay interest on their loans by jacking up the prices of everything

TheAndrewBrown,

This article is about a 19% drop in the last 2 months. Alternative energy methods didn’t increase in popularity/use enough in the last 2 months to cause that much of a drop. The article uses a decent amount of actual data analysis and sources and shows a pretty clear causality between the growth of supply and the stagnation of demand that led to the price drop.

Renewable energy has definitely led to an overall drop in price over the last 15 years but it wouldn’t cause a drop this drastic without a huge increase in use or improvement in technology.

Sgt_choke_n_stroke,

Found the author

TheAndrewBrown,

Do you have any counter points or just a cheap joke?

Sgt_choke_n_stroke,

You just named the title of my autobiography

All of these puns, and nobody has called it a “dickle” yet?

The horngus of a dongfish is attached by a scungle to a kind of dillsack (the nutte sac)…

Vaguely has the shape of a pipe that a guy I used to know used to smoke meth out of.

It’s a Pimpkle.

slazer2au, (edited ) in Oil prices crashed 19% from their peaks—here's why

I bet prices at the pump will not drop anywhere near as far.

MisterChief, (edited )

Prices in my area were pushing $4 per gallon a few weeks ago. Most stations in the area are now below $3. I saw $2.89 yesterday.

Electromagnetic,

Prices in my area have been steady between 1.66 and 1.70 per liter for over a year now.

QuinceDaPence,

So roughly like $6.50/gallon.

I went on a trip recently and the lowest price I saw was, I think, $2.69/gallon which is like $0.70/Liter.

Anticorp,

Dang dude! I just saw gas for $5.25 a couple of days ago. It was even higher when I was in California awhile ago.

MisterChief,

Yeah it really varies. I paid over $5 gallon when I was in Vegas last month topping off the rental.

altima_neo, (edited )
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah they were hitting nearly $5 a gallon here, then suddenly dropped by 30-40 cents a couple weeks ago

MudSkipperKisser, in This Pickle

HELLO

Ugh. As much as I appreciate that people need cheap gas to survive, it does encourage more gas use. :(

The high prices in Europe due to Ukraine really lit a fire under everyone’s asses to switch energy sources. Useful, even if a lot of people suffered because of it.

Microplasticbrain,

Unfortunately humanity has shown that we just don’t give a fuck unless the correct people are fucking dieing in a relatively quick manner.

9715698,

Energy prices still hurt in Europe.
