And unique to each individual. Perhaps we can use it as a security identifier along with fingerprints.

Like every stage in life, it has its pros and cons.

I am an old person.

Yes. I have a strong opinion on the subject and have shared it extensively among my close friends.

It’s too bad we can’t get animals (including ourselves) to hold it all day then dispense it into a fuel tank for home use.

My problem is with the word soup. Scientists don’t call today’s ocean a soup and it has many times more compounds, materials, and living matter.

Primodial soup. It was perfectly sterile. No organic matter in it. (didn’t exist yet.) Today’s oceans are wet cement in comparison.

Cheaper labour in China. High tariffs imposed by the U.S. (when the parts and materials that come into the U.S. are tariffed, the price is passed on to the consumer.)

What’s a phone bad book?

Cigarettes cause more deaths: 8 million per year compared to 2.8 million per year. Not disagreeing with you, just pointing out why perhaps there are more lenient rules.

I don’t know. AskLemmy.

Yeah, we can cut steaks off them.

Since it takes quite a while, it’s not quite as cinematic as a swarm of bees.

The problem is that turning heat to electricity using thermoelectric generators is hugely ineffecient. And there wouldn’t be enough heat produced to create steam for steam turbines.

All the mines around here do that for the workers anyway.
