Society is very natural, OUR current model of society is sadly not

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Not quite. Humans evolved to exist in small hunter-gatherer groups, which I would not consider societies. Curiously, these were very egalitarian and people only worked for about 20 hours a week, and the varied lifestyle and diet was optimal for our health. It is really with society that all our problems started

Edit: spelling and clarification

I think the disagreement here is in definitions, whether hunter gatherer groups are a society.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Fair point. My mother tongues have slightly different definitions for their words for "society"

Just because something is construced/man made doesn't mean it isn't real

Yet the hunger in my belly is all too real

I've been reading that rich people are delicious, and best thing is you can just eat them! No money required!

Great for the planet too

This was one of the first posts that made me sign up for Reddit some 10+ years ago. Now I've been on Lemmy for a week and I see it again for the first time since.

I'm choosing to take it as a good sign.

At least it's not a super duper repost.

But the good news is it will implode first!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

It actually won't explode, just implode. The process of becoming a red giant is quite gradual even by cosmological standards, taking about a billion years.

I'd always kind of assumed the sun would hit some point of not having enough fuel to sustain the fusion reactions and everything going to hell pretty quickly, but I suppose it does make sense that it's a slow process.
