Hackers are utterly incapable of hacking shit that would actually benefit people. Want them to hack the FAFSA to get rid of student loans?? Sorry their too busy hacking cartoon studios and threatening to release something people were already planning on watching
Two teenagers from Pennsylvania just solved a problem most engineers ignored. Rohan Kapoor and Jack Reichert created the "Go Green Filter" — a 3D-printed device that attaches to your car's exhaust pipe. It doesn't just reduce emissions. It converts CO2 into oxygen. Using microalgae. The same process plants use — photosynthesis. They built a bio-reactor with water, LED lights, and living algae inside. The algae eat the carbon dioxide from your exhaust... and release clean oxygen back into the air. In testing? It cut emissions by 74%. They didn't wait for funding. Didn't wait for permission.
They 3D-printed the prototype themselves. Now it's being deployed in Indonesia. The cost? Low enough to scale globally. If this works at mass scale, it could reduce billions of tons of carbon annually. Two high school kids just did what billion-dollar companies haven't.
You need to understand that this is by design. Working-class people used to be shockingly literate. The rich and powerful have built a society where most folks are addicted to screens because mass literacy threatens them. They want you to be stupid. We resist them by reading.
It’s almost like earth was perfectly created for human beings, literally water falls from the sky and food grows on trees, but somehow we find ourselves trapped in a machine that requires credit scores and a 40 hour work week for existence.
Congress worked 87 days this year with full pay ($174k) AND benefits. You want to talk about 'government waste'?
Let's pay Congress HOURLY. Problem solved.
“If you invite more cars, you get more cars. If you make more streets better for cars you get more traffic… If you invite people to walk more and use public spaces more, you get more life in the city. You get what you invite.”

i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a lambo or birkins.
I want to be rich so I can control my time and go to the gym at 2 pm on a wednesday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so I can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that’s my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
Hear me out: A start-up, but all they do is make appliances using vintage patents from the 50s and 60s and everything lasts for forty years instead of seven to ten.
I'm a single issue voter, I want the warm lights back.
Streetlights are too blue. Headlights are too bright. It's a crime against nature and God.
We need to demand 2800K or below color balance for all outdoor lights. Some cities regulate 3000k max, that's still too damn blue.
