Why don’t we just shoot our trash into the sun?

ur too fat

>>11981215
Are you capable of doing that OP? Why don't you try it.

[Anonymous No.11981242]

>>11981215
Yes
Let's just use all this fuel, to make a space ship fly in the opposite direction of earths orbit, requiring about 29951.68 metres per second of delta V, so that it can fall into the sun.
That'll only cost us tens of millions of dollars per tonne of trash.
I assume you'll be paying for that out of pocket, OP?

why don't we just go back into the woods and abandon the garbage technology created by science, which gave us plastic, junk food, and nuclear weapons, and is solely responsible for destroying our world?

[Anonymous No.11981336]

>>11981299
Yes, a ...... loss

[Anonymous No.11981352]

Why don't we just cull off the useless and unproductive and solve all our problems.
It'll only be a naughty thing for a few hundred years but humanity will reap the benefits for thousands of years.

those things brought mortality rates down significantly, which means natural selection does not apply to humans anymore. You can have some debilitating genetic disease and still reproduce in a modern society passing your trash genes along.

>>11981353
The small pleasures broght by technology is overshadowed by the massive amounts of suffering it has caused. The people who are able to enjoy the fruits of modern society only make up the top 14% richest people in the world, the rest live in miserable conditions prepetuated by industrial society. Not to mention the environmental consequences of technology, which I'm sure you are aware are quite dire, and will unquestionably make life a living hell for billions of people. Technology is an additiction, while it feels good in the moment, it's consequences will be the undoing of our species if we do not tread with caution.

Money is, and I can't stress this enough, literally made up.

Whereas trash is a physical tangible object. The accumulation of which has a negative effect on society.

>inb4 fake economics bros try and correct me
You can't. Nothing I said was incorrect.

[Anonymous No.11981464]

>>11981458
But fuel and the materials to make space ships aren't made up.
Do you want to waste tonnes of fuel per tonne of trash?

[Anonymous No.11981468]

>>11981380
Agreed. Just look at junk food, literally engineered in laboratories with science and chemistry behind them to get people hooked. It's fucked up. humans literally aren't smart enough or have enough willpower to deal with the technology we invented. Nature, and natural limitations are a good thing. I bet I would be happier living in a forest and not a grimy, grey city with motorcycles ripping outside my window

Canada. I would get in trouble for running off into the woods (land owned by the crown) and not paying taxes (since I'm living in the country). I did my research.

I've done a bit of googling, and what i've found seems to contradict you.
Your "research" is probably talking to poltards, and taking their word at face value

ctrl+F "crown", no mention of crown land
>Is living off grid illegal in Canada? The short answer is that technically it is not illegal.

Sounds like youre the retarded one here, bud

Then I read that elsewhere, or it's confabulation. Irrelevant nitpick either way. Literally says you need to pay property taxes while living off the land in the article. Put your ego aside, admit that you're a dumb mutt, read the article, and stop embarrassing yourself.

"Crown"

Only to make the britbongers not feel like absolute failures

[Anonymous No.11981750]

>>11981742
The crown lands belong to the crown, allegedly, and I'd say they're doing pretty well for themselves. So, britbongs should feel like failures regardless.

srsly tho, why can't a mega furnace be constructed in which all the fumes are trapped and filtered? isn't this realistic?

[Anonymous No.11981782]

srsly tho, why can't we create an army of satellites that orbit the sun to harvest energy from it, and have their trajectory approach the earth, at which point we can transfer the energy to the earth, which will be brought down by a giant space elevator? Too sci fi?

[Anonymous No.11981795]

It would have to be collectively traded, like a stock market asset. That way multiple parties could be involved and risk could be managed.

[Anonymous No.11981821]

>>11981782
Not too sci fi, but there are limitations. The space elevator would likely be constructed from carbon nanotubes and they have a life expectancy. If the cable breaks, then a bunch of CNTs will aerosolize in the atmosphere. When they break like that, as nanoscale threads, they can have an effect on your lungs like what we know Asbestos does. Another concern is terrorism. With the CNT ability to aerosolize, a terror attack could be horrible for the health of the world due to atmospheric conditions. There also may be interactions with weather phenomena that lower the life expectancy of the CNTs. Lastly (there are more reasons but these are the most relevant), the longest CNTs available commercially are in those nano-toothbrush things (when i learned abo. NMs I never saw one but recently i’ve been seeing facebook and instagram ads for nano bristle toothbrush). Anyways, that’s like 1 cm long so we gotta come up with a way to make something long enough to reach the space station.

You're suggesting that we're not currently in the best era for humanity so far, at least for developed countries.

>whole lot of other daily shit made easier from technology (how you're able to read my post)
As for the enviroment, that is unfortunately true. For the rest; if it bothers you so much then go live in some sub-Saharan village. I'm sure you'll obtain the much needed happiness from working in a field 24/7.
