@Rainmaker1973 I looked it up. The byproducts of this could be more dangerous than the plastic itself.

Also, the fungus only works in a controlled lab. And there's a risk that the fungus could carry pathogens if it escapes and mutates.

It could escape and eat through our infrastructure.

@Rainmaker1973 What happens when it spreads to things we don't want it to destroy?

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Scientists have discovered that the fungus Aspergillus tubingensis, isolated from a landfill in Islamabad, Pakistan, can rapidly break down polyurethane, one of the world’s most durable plastics. This material is widely used in insulation, furniture, footwear, coatings, and synthetic leather, and it typically persists in the environment for hundreds of years.

In laboratory tests, the fungus colonizes the surface of polyurethane films, secreting enzymes that disrupt its chemical bonds. Scanning electron microscopy revealed clear signs of degradation, including cracks, pits, and surface erosion. Within just two months in liquid culture, the plastic films were broken down into smaller fragments, with near-complete degradation observed.

This represents the first reported case of A. tubingensis degrading polyurethane. The process is an example of mycoremediation, the use of fungi to clean up environmental pollutants. Other fungi have also shown the ability to use plastics as a primary food source, even in low-oxygen landfill conditions.

Researchers are now exploring the potential of fungal enzymes for large-scale applications, such as bioreactors, to help address the global plastic waste crisis. If scaled effectively, these biological approaches could offer a practical, low-cost method to reduce the billions of tons of persistent plastic accumulating worldwide.

@Rainmaker1973 I hope they test the impact of the fungus on us and other living creatures before spreading it everywhere. 🙏

The craziest thing about Quake is how many modern FPS games originate from it somehow

Valve's Source engine was a modified Quake 1 engine which spawned Half Life, Counter Strike, DOTA, Apex Legends, Titanfall

The entire Call of Duty and Warzone series originates from a modified Quake 3 engine that's continously iterated since!

“We are going to have a multi-racial nation in Singapore. This is not a Malay nation. This is not a Chinese nation. This is not an Indian nation. Everybody will have his place here, equal: language, culture, religion.”
— Lee Kuan Yew, August 9, 1965

LKY’s quote echoes Aristotle’s account of the polis as the highest koinonia, or community, formed not by blood or mere aggregation but for the sake of eudaimonia, the good life, through justice as its binding principle and the cultivation of virtue among citizens.
A regime, or politeia, endures when it serves the common good rather than faction.

Lee took a vulnerable, divided entrepôt and deliberately constructed a modern polis.
He rejected ethnic clientelism, imposed equal rules under law, rewarded merit, and built habits of discipline and cohesion so citizens of every background could pursue security and rising prosperity together.
He treated nationhood as a fragile achievement that required constant defense against stasis.

Aristotle warned that when a politeia no longer aims at eudaimonia for the whole but instead manages competing interests and erodes the civic ethos, it decays into factional strife and eventual collapse.
And Lee showed what deliberate counter measures look like in practice.

America today is moving toward the condition Aristotle feared and Lee refused to accept.

Identity based claims increasingly displace equal rules, merit yields to group outcome, and trust in shared institutions frays.

Without a conscious recovery of the principles that once sustained our own politeia, namely justice applied without favor, habits of self-government, and a civic ethos oriented toward the flourishing of citizens as one people rather than rival tribes, America risks the very stasis and hollowing that have undone polities throughout history.

@Rothmus Aristotle stated that small homogeneous nations are the only ones which can sustain a democracy. Otherwise, he said democracy leads to tyranny. And he specifically stated that multiple cultures could never survive in a nation because of all the competing interests.

@ZarkFiles If this is what what true socialism 🤔 is been thought of globally and made to be known of.. no wonder why everyone runs away from it even from the thought of it🤣😹😭

@cremieuxrecueil What caused the fall of Rome and the beginning of the Dark Ages was the starvation of the Holy Scriptures, the moral decline of Roman culture, particularly homosexuality, and fraud and corruption of government and society. Just like what we see today.

How many more children before we admit the experiment failed?

This time it’s two Iraqi brothers, 18 and 20, on trial in Essen, Germany, for allegedly raping a 7 year old girl on two separate occasions.

She was the friend of their younger sister who lived right next door.

Another horror story in a continent-wide pattern.

Across Europe, men from certain immigrant backgrounds, especially Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Africa, are wildly overrepresented in rape and child sexual abuse statistics.

In Germany, foreigners are 15% of the population but 38% of rape suspects.

In Sweden, immigrant men dominate rape convictions in long term studies, even after adjusting for age and socioeconomic factors.
Those arriving as teens or adults bring the highest risk.

In the UK, foreign citizens are 3.5x more likely to be arrested for sexual offences.
The Pakistani muslim grooming gang scandal is still unraveling.

Europe didn’t have an epidemic of 7 year olds being raped by their neighbors’ older brothers before the mass low-skilled migration experiment.

It imported the problem along with the people.

Cultures that treat non-muslim girls as fair game, or that normalize early sexualization and weak boundaries around children, don’t magically become Swedish, German, or British just because they cross a border.

This is what happens when you prioritize volume over compatibility and then gaslight the public about the results.

The trial continues. The pattern continues. The denial continues.

The users who complain about the flaws in your product may seem annoying, but they are on the whole probably your most valuable users. They complain because they care, and I doubt a startup could ever get really big without users who care a lot about the product.
