ohhh snap, saw that one hahahahah

hahahahahaha

True, however they were listed as a news source. The article amount & topics don’t seem like AD’s to me. This also doesn’t fit into an AD: “Negativity limited mostly to workplace competitiveness, subtle political debates, or spam.”

Not on the list, cause it ain’t even remotely as toxic ;)

sources I think transportation is a good use of oil, ores & diamonds have plenty of good use cases (e.g. chips used in medical devices, climate satellites etc.)

Modern Industry & the system behind it are the definitely the problem. If we got rid of planned obsolescence alone, the issues would reduce dramatically.

Thanks for asking. Not sure why the community is not linked in the image! !DeTikTok@lemmy.world

Edited it now :)

I feel like Loops is the force for good, not TikTok, which is run by a seemingly evil corp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_TikTok

It’s this one right? Looking good: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonriders_of_Pern

I would argue the opposite, on a drilling rig, you have 0 cover or military infrastructure, so any missile or drone can come hit it or tankers or pipes. Permanently parking a capable ship there might make it economically unfeasible and additionally expose that ship to risks: https://www.warcosts.org/how-much-does-an-aircraft-carrier-cost

Well some have way more “valueable” ones than others. I don’t believe it’s a size related thing (considering Africa, South America, Eastern Europe…). Here is a link somebody sent me, seems to be an actual theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse

The list is starting to cover everything <3

Thanks, it’s such an interesting read :))

Haven’t read it, would you recommend it? :) Otherwise spoiler away XD

XDD

That is true! I do however suspect that it might be because the oil & gas in Norway is below the sea, which makes it complicated to extract. Therefore also making it hard to control & steal, which also makes it an unattractive target I guess.

You might be right about land, apparently wood is even one of the rarest materials in the universe: https://www.chemistryspace.com/2025/11/rarest-material-in-universe.html

May this be the first of many losses going forward

fingers crossed <3

Very good points! Didn’t even consider that, it does not make sense at all haha
