I’ve not crunched the numbers myself but the actual racing probably produces a lot less pollution than the logistics of teams and fans travelling to each race, and given that there are only 20-odd races per year all the fans travelling around the world probably causes less overall pollution than something like football where there are loads of big matches every week.
Interestingly one of the purposes/benefits of f1 is (supposed to be) pioneering new technology. For instance, the fuel is (supposedly) now sustainability produced, and I think a lot of the hybrid engine tech developed for f1 then made its way to road cars. Of course most of the biggest sponsors are oil companies looking to throw away the electric tech now, so who knows what the fuck the future looks like…
Much more achievable for the common man

Whatever happened to !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl? That was great for finding new communities which actually had active posters.

1·1 month agoWhat do you think has happened over the last decade? I remember it being pretty good when it first came out, but there’s a lot of spyware and adware that’s frog-boiled its way in over the years.

Wow, I even looked at the picture of some salami and didn’t consider that’s what “slommy” was meant to mean. Sounds like an urban dictionary entry.
That’s the one I was thinking of. It’s a slow process, but it does happen.
The hairy frog is also notable in possessing retractable “claws”, which it may project through the skin, apparently by intentionally breaking the bones of the toe.[5] These are not true claws, as they are made of bone, not keratin. In addition, there is a small bony nodule nestled in the tissue just beyond the frog’s fingertip. When sheathed, each claw is anchored to the nodule with tough strands of collagen. When the frog is grabbed or attacked, it breaks the nodule connection and forces the sharpened bones through the skin.[6][7] Although a retraction mechanism is not known, it has been hypothesized that the claws later retract passively, while the damaged tissue is regenerated.
This type of natural weaponry appears to be unique in the animal kingdom, although the Otton frog possesses a similar “spike” in its thumb.[8] An alternative hypothesis is that the broken bones could provide a better grip on rocks.[9]

Yep, pretty horrifying, accurate name.
This country that we all live in? The country of Lemmy? I know the EU have been pretty good at slapping down Google’s anti-competitive practices recently (though it’s a long and slow process and I’ve not heard any news about this particular one yet).

We can rebuild him, we have the technology. But I don’t want to spend a lot of money.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•“Sloppenheimer:” Amazon Employees Mock the Company’s AI on SlackEnglish
33·3 months agoThe problem (well, one of the many problems) is that “AI” is a meaningless buzzword slapped on everything by marketing drones. I’m sure there are some real advances that could be made by what five years ago we’d have called “machine learning”, but the chatbots that everyone’s currently obsessing over don’t have anything to do with that.
