The yt channel Technology Connections made a video on solar and made a great point that stuck with me
If oil was so precious and valuable and important why do we light so much of it on fire?
I mean, I think it’s precious for its ability to be lit on fire
We still need things like grease, lubricants, and plastics. We rely heavily on oil products that are not burned and oil is a finite resource, yet we like to light most of it on fire anyway even though we have energy alternatives that are more cost effective in the long run.
Here comes the wind power: Woosh
If you love public sanitation so much, why do you literally shit on it?
Propaganda works. Is why.
I’m about to start my own political party and call it “The Gas Price Party’”. Since it’s the only issue that matters for 75% of the population, I bet I could get elected just because of the name.
The rent is too damn high!
That’s exactly why we want to keep gas price low, so you can give the money you saved to your landlord.
Gas prices still come second to “owning the libs”
What are you doing StepOil
Stepbro, I’m stuck in the Hormuz strait!
I’m drinking your milkshake.
Everyone likes palaeontology until it turns a profit, smh my head

This describes it pretty well:
Hard for the sheep to admit they sat on their hands while the Earth slow burned. Something about blindly following the rich and acting like temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
for a bunch, it’s that their entire personality is wrapped up in burning carbon. they know it’s bad. they’re not completely stupid, they simply think their hobbies - vroom vroom bullshit like cars, bikes, trucks, dune buggies, rock-climbing jet skiing etc, they think it shouldn’t count because some other asshole is producing even more carbon than they are.
the cult of vroom vroom is gonna watch cars race in circles until we don’t have a breathable atmosphere, and they’ll never admit they’re the fucking problem too.
Rock climbing?
sorry, I guess it’s more accurately called rock crawling:
these assholes go out to pristine wilderness, then let their shitmobiles carve it up leaving wheel ruts all over the place; inevitably there’s some fuckwit who wrecks their oil pan because they think they have clearance, leaving oil slicks over half the course.
these dickheads will tell you “oh what we’re doing doesn’t make that much CO2” - when they simply can’t realize, it’s all more than zero, and their burning our children’s future with ever rev of the engine.
Oh, that’s awful
I think they really meant “rock climbing jet skiing” which, like “extreme ironing”, is not for the feint of heart.
you tried to be funny. it didn’t work, but you tried, and that’s what matters.
Yo mama so fat she’s a 10,000 ton derrick drilling for oil in the Gulf Of America
Yo mama so leaky even BP won’t drill her.
Well, where I live the propaganda goes hard saying that oil is responsible for our entire economy so we should be grateful.
People even have I ❤️ Oil bumper stickers here. It’s embarrassing.
I like to imagine how the world would look if socialized healthcare were idealized the same way as oil/guns:
“Come and take it! 💉”
“We call 911!”
“A healthy society is a polite society”
“Better to have healthcare and not need it than to need healtcare and not have it.”
“Heal, baby, heal!”
“Health is wealth.”
“Domestic healthcare. National strength.”
“More coverage, more jobs.”
“Lower costs start with public health.”
You’ve got my vote!
“I’ll have you know my great-great-great-great*108 ancestor turned into oil recently, have some damn respect for my deep family history!” /s
Because it’s all about money.
All jokes aside what an amazing engineering marvel!
Like lead pipes!
Because admitting climate change is real means effort and change.
- Effort, because those responsible for causing climate change need to be deposed. Nobody will make that change happen if their sofa is so comfy and there aren’t any problems that personally effect them.
- Change, because deposing those responsible for climate change also means getting rid of the system that enables them. If the solution to climate change were a drop-in replacement to something that requires no change whatsoever in daily norms it would have a lot more support.
Behold! Your MUTHA SUPREME
