Say these phrases out loud and see if you can figure out what they mean:

Yew knead moist you're eye sir!

Hill dew lawn dairy four yew.

Eye sofa king we tall did.

If I ever write a book it will only have three sections:

1. Introduction
2. Troduction
3. Outroduction

@sbjohnsrpi I dont know of any such way, but a bot, in theory could do it. You'd be welcome to use a bot here for that purpose. In fact you can use a bot however you please so long as if it posts automatically those posts are unlisted (or you actively monitor and respond on them). Otherwise feel free to use a bot for that purpose.

@Vastform Hi there, welcome!

@Sphinx Well you currently have it set so you need to approve followers. This will probably reduce the number of followers you get. If you want to keep that setting perhaps encourage people to follow you in your description so they know you are welcome.

If you post some interesting content I am always happy to reboost. If you think I missed something interesting to share poke me.

Also it really helps to meet new people to use the federated feed and engage on interesting posts as they fly by.

@spud lol. incorrect, but lol

@cowanon

One other quick side point. Most of the alarmism about the future is on the assumption that we dont do anything to correct current habits. Since we **did** do a lot to address the issue then past predictions were not necessarily untrue, only avoided.

Consider, if we still had a complete lack of regulations like there were in the 1800s I can guarantee you even right now there would be a **lot** of pollution related death.

So just because we managed to avoid or delay a grim future doesn't imply it was fabricated either (though I do agree it is often exaggerated)

Dont know what it is or how to play it. So hard for me to say if I'm down for it or not.

@cowanon

The truth is, when something is a big deal, people tend to make it an even bigger deal. No one is motivated if we say "We probably wont make it another 100 or 200 years" but if they say "OMG I wont live to see old age" then people start to care. A lot of it is people just want to see action so when they know something is catastrophic they exagerate it to its utmost extreme because they feel desperate to motivate people to get moving. Obviously this isnt a healthy pattern, but it doesnt really negate the fact that there is a serious problem all the same.

That said all the hype aside there is one undeniable fact. Never in the hsitory of the earth has the temperature and CO2 levels risen as quickly as they have in the last 200 years. Even during the extinction of the dinosaurs it was a **much** slower process than what we are seeing now.

Despite any predictions or doomsday comments, that alone, in isolation, should be enough to be worried about. and know that things are serious.

@cowanon

Yup, same reason the news is nothing but bullshit. They say what gets them an audience and not much else.

In all reality we probably have plenty of reasons to fear mass extinction, but nearly all of them are going to come from us humans, if it comes at all. Even then it is often over exaggerated for viewers, but at least there is some truth in those fears whether its a nuclear bomb, famine from overpopulation, or climate change issues, at least those are valid concerns with potentially devastating outcomes. Sadly with all the exaggeration though people tend to dismiss it.
