Nobody is advocating telling young kids about sex.
Even if they were, I don’t think I would take issue with it. Sex is a natural part of life and society. I think prudish/taboo attitudes towards sex create more problems than they solve.

However I still maintain that kids should be treated as if they are as innocent as I was as a kid. I didn’t know what sex was until puberty, and thats the way it should be. Let them have a childhood.
What a weird take. I knew where babies came from long before I reached puberty, and this knowledge had no negative impact on my childhood whatsoever.
Hang on, are you saying that at Playalinda, one could watch a rocket launch and be naked at the same time?
Is there a chance that Lemmy admins might have more incentive to combat this than Reddit admins did?
The internet has become just five websites, each posting screenshots of the other four.
“Year five, and they still haven’t noticed I’m a donkey”
That seems to happen naturally as most countries progress. As infant mortality decreases, and as nutrition and education improves, people seem to have fewer children.
Replacement rate is about 2.3.
Why is the replacement rate not 2 exactly?
Rabbits engage in coprophagy to extract more nutrients using their short digestive tracts. Is this analogous to training ML models on AI-generated output?
Good point. Where are the studs? How is the clutch power? Are the tolerances on par with existing Lego bricks?
If you metabolize all the plant matter into carbon dioxide, that would kind of defeat the purpose…
the astronaut ice cream version permafrost?
Yeah, that’s what it sounds like. I do wonder if 10 feet is deep enough to prevent decomposition in the long term. I seems like converting the plant material to biochar would be a more stable form to trap the carbon in.
transport -> drying -> compressing, wrapping, transporting, and storing + storage site prep and maintenance
I think the key aspect here is that all of these steps are easier to decarbonize than the aviation (difficult) and cement production (almost impossible) processes these bricks are intended to offset.
How do you get the pollution into the brick? That’s what the brick is. Plants capture the CO2 and store it as sugar, and then the plant matter is compressed into a brick and buried instead of burning it for energy or letting it rot.
this isn’t even recapturing CO2. It’s grabbing plant/decomposable waste before it rots
Does this not amount to the same thing? The plants capture the CO2 and store it in sugar, which is then buried instead of burning it for energy or letting it rot.
Ah, the old Lemmy foam-a-roo.
Yeah, that’s the name of the character, but not the comic strip.
That age gap though. When he was in high school she was still in middle school :P
“We postulate that the stickers may have had some spiritual or religious function, possibly in hopes of a good harvest.”
Happy cake day!
Yeah, that’s probably not the best way to find out.
I’m not sure I necessarily agree. I had books like Visual Dictionary of the Human Body within reach since I was a toddler, so I don’t recall the ideas of “sex” or “where babies come from” ever being a big deal or a shocking revelation.
Funnily enough, I don’t think I ever believed in Santa either, so I guess your barometer checks out :)
