I am saying this primarily from half memories, so take this with a pinch of salt. Palm oil isn't exactly evil, it is our old foe capitalism. On its own, it is a really good oil for multiple applications, and more importantly, it has the highest yield of vegetable oils by a fat margin. Meaning, if you were to replace it with another vegetable oil, you'd need even more land for the same output. The problem is that in seeking to maximize profits, le old capitalist bastards abuse places with lower capacity (for a reason or another) to stop immoral practices. They will mow down native forests to make room for palm monocultures with no environmental impact studies or care whatsoever. The highest yield isn't enough for their greedy asses, they are still tring to cut costs short term costs (the only timeframe capitalists actually care or even comprehend) at every corner. And this being a tropical plant, we know exactly which parts of the world they go for to pull their bs, and that opens a whole box of cans of worms I don't wanna go on about now. Honestly an interesting topic, and probably worth of an episode. Let's just say the engineering of the entire palm industry is an absolute disaster, and entirely due to capitalist greee

[@ristekostadinov2820]

Palm oil become even more disastrous when oil lobbyist started pushing agenda "hey we can consume as much oil as we want if we make it from crops, it is definitely renewable trust me bro".Hemp might yield even more products per hectare, simply because the whole plant have lot of useful properties (seeds for food, fiber, woodstock for wood alternatives or paper) and it good climate you can get 2 harvests per year.

[@yrobtsvt]

My wife grew up on a palm oil plantation -- you are basically correct. It's an environmentally friendly oil, but its agricultural profile has opened up virgin forests to capitalist mafias. But then once the forests are gone they are gone. If you buy, like, canola oil instead you're doing much more damage on the simplest math of carbon required to produce oil, and people probably burn forests for canola oil too. You could hypothetically calculate how many mafias you enrich and megadeaths you cause with each oil and the health impacts of each, but you know what? The healthiest oil, olive oil, is affected by farms being actively burned by Zionist terrorists and that is TERRIBLE for climate change. Either buy Palestinian olive oil, or just buy whatever you see at the store.

[@trollamos]

I've read small responsible palm oil farmers are getting screwed by the blanket colonial ban, so hell is paved with good intentions and all that.

[@StraylightWintermute]

@@yrobtsvt Canada produces the most canola oil annually of any country in the world. It's grown on the prairies, which has other environmental impacts, but at least it's not based on deforestation. The potentially lowest impact fat for consumption, at least in temperate areas, is animal fats from regionally appropriate animals grazing on wild pasture, but that's not profitable enough.

The main reason that the vandalism / petty property destruction activism has become so common (Or seemingly common) is because, according to lifelong activists that I have read interviews with, it is wildly more effective in popularizing and recruiting for their causes than any other form of activism is. Just one of these acts picks up tens or hundreds of millions of eyeballs, and even if 95% of those eyeballs are critical of it that still means multiple millions in support who quite possible weren't seeing it before. It's a very very strong numbers game, especially considering that those critical of these acts don't remember them the next week. Nobody is gonna fucking remember this incident in 2026. But you can expect 10,000+ freshly minted activists as a direct result of it.

Get Babaçu palm oil, they have their own endemic biome, the palms are mostly used for the extraction of Heart of Palm but all parts of the plant are used leaving very little to waste, plus the plants don't live very long so if they're not harvested they'll just die after pollination anyway, it's also mostly a small, artesanal cooperative level extraction and the Babaçus can't expand their territory because they're cornered on south side by the mangroves, the west side by Brazil's semi-arid, east side by the sea and North side by the Amazon (there's a geological barrier, soil composition, preventing the Babaçus from encroaching on the Amazon), so they're basically SCP style contained to a single region.

Our "vomit bowl" was a plastic wastebin, if we couldn't get out of bed.

[@knightofficer]

Yeah i'm surprised more people haven't been using basic ass trash cans

[@RoundHouseDictator]

Vomit bowls are weird. If I need to vomit on the couch, I use a cleaning bucket. I either clean it with nonfoodsafe chemicals, or I decide it's an outside bucket

"Leave this dark art to it's practitioners." No, actually futures trading should be very heavily regulated. The practitioners should be stopped too.

[@trioptimum9027]

There should be some kind of delivery requirement. Like, I'm okay with someone who wants a truckload of hog bellies delivered to her hog belly hoard in December engaging in a bit of speculation as to exactly when she wants to lock in the price and pay for her future hog-belly delivery. It just gets perverse and scammy when it's people who have never had any intention of hog-bellying for real.

I'm sure Nova has since remembered it, but the term she was looking for wrt to submarine navigation is the thermocline layer or "the layer". Depth of the local ocean where due to temperature shenanigans the density of water changes such that it makes active and passive sonar search from one side to the other more difficult.

[@AuroraBorealis-dh6nr]

I'm of the opinion that you're not vomiting anything that can't be cleaned and sanitized. I think people get too paranoid about "icky" things that just aren't actually unsafe.

[@trioptimum9027]

Yeah, real talk: first, it's food. The only things coming out of your stomach are the things you put in there, so try to only eat food grade substances, don't lick the nude angry men at the nuke plant (until after they shower), and it'll be fine. Second, it's practically self-sanitizing, because the main non-food thing in vomit is stomach acid. Wash it up pretty good and it's fine. You're probably at more risk from things that have touched your filthy hands than things that have touched your nice clean vomit.

Soaking wooden brake pads in cooking oil sounds like a recipe for a bigger fire than just catching the wood on fire by itself. I mean, obviously oil reduces friction, but if and when it does catch fire, that's worse.

[@joearnold6881]

We always used a bucket for our under-the-sink vomit container. A bowl? That sounds messy, easily spilled! Also re: cereal… Small bowls, or like those wide coffee mugs even, is how you do it, not a giant bowl. You sit there with the box and the milk, and you keep refilling it. This way you can eat a ton without it going all soggy and gross.

They are saying everyone there is talking about #TinosAboveBoardOilBusiness".

the heat where I am from is kinda weird, I'm from Tucson where it regularly gets into the hundreds which is tolerable when it is dry, but there's a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico which is making everything insanely humid with the same temperatures

November, groing up in a zcold country isn't even a requirement to have low tolerance for warm weather. I grew up in south east Brazil, proper tropical... Can't barely stand temperatures over 20C, +25C outright makes me feel physically exhausted and substantially more depressive, and it gets much worse fast after that.

@@jaysea5939 Summer SAD is less common (or at least less reported, I smell bias reporting though), but also a real thing. Pretty much same for me with the bonus of arctic winters feeling great, borderline an allergy to warmness, and I do also occasionally humorously call it reverse SAD too haha.
