You speculated correctly. The brood cannot escape. I even found a scientific paper about it: it: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328054285_A_Fatal_Nest_Construction_Man-mixed_Cement_Used_by_Mud-daubing_Wasps

I am pretty sure recycling does not require more energy than using fresh trees. You can even use the waste pulp to produce biogas.

Sure. It’s not a closed cycle. But if you need to cut down less trees, that is a win for me.

How does composting paper make more sense than recycling? From what I can tell we have pretty well established paper recycling mechanisms, at least here in Germany.

Edit: typo.

Does anyone have a source for this besides memes? I did not find anything 😢

The NDA: Dear me, I promise to talk about the fun times only with my friends and not with potential employers. Signed, me.

I don’t know any animal with green fur. Reptiles and birds, sure. Maybe green fur does not work 🤷

No. I know because each hand has exactly 5 fingers.

Because the landfills produce methane, a greenhouse gas much more potent than CO2. Once a landfill is closed, the methane can mostly be caught. There are always leaks, however. Containing the methane and other problems creates forever-costs. Recycling as much as possible and burning the rest, greatly reduces the problem. Remaining ash from burning still needs to be stored, but has less volume. And while burning trash does produce CO2, the energy is used for electricity and communal heating.

That is such an american problem 😵‍💫. Reducing trash is a great motivation, but the reminder that the trash is just dumped and stored indefinitely over there just makes me want to scream.

Let me just leave this here:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
     Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I do not mean to accuse you of staying silent, but please remember: no one is safe from fascism once it is there.

AFAIK they purposefully poop in the water to hide there. So yes, they “like” it.

Did they really just cover the whole blister thing with fishmeal? I mean including the plastic?
