Fitzcarraldo (1982) didn’t fake the impossible shot, Herzog had a 320-ton steamship dragged over a real mountain using winches and local labor, no effects. The production nearly collapsed multiple times, which is exactly why the footage feels so unreal.
It's always shocking to me how the algorithm suppresses content about factory farming. Still, this video is SO well made, it might just break through -->

“If you want to emit as much CO2 as possible, there is no faster way than to go on a flying binge. That also comes close to the definition of being rich today. One single flight from London to Edinburgh emits more CO2 than the average Somalian does in a year; from London to New York, more than the Nigerian and the Nepalese; from London to Perth, more than the Peruvian and the Egyptian, the Kenyan and the Indian. There are fifty-six countries in the world with annual per capita emissions lower than the emissions from one individual flying once between London and New York. These figures work on conservative estimates of the impact of aviation. Who spews this fire from the skies? Even in such a flying-prone country as England, 1 per cent of residents took a fifth of all overseas flights in 2018; 10 per cent took half and 48 per cent none. But the super-rich prefer their very own planes, or renting one from Warren Buffett, whose fleet of luxury dragons cruise the skies to predictable effect. The private jets operating in the US alone generate as much CO2 as half of Burundi does in a year. This family of emissions has a well-attested ethical status. It was first pinpointed in 1991 in a classic essay by two Indian climate scholars and activists, Anil Agarwal and Sunita Narain, who took issue with calculations that treated all emissions as equal. ‘Can we really equate’, they asked, ‘the carbon dioxide contributions of gas guzzling automobiles in Europe and North America or, for that matter, anywhere in the Third World with the methane emissions of draught cattle and rice fields of subsistence farmers in West Bengal or Thailand? Do these people not have a right to live?’ A quantum of methane from a ruminant or paddy might have the same radiative forcing as a quantum of CO2 from an SUV, Agarwal and Narain accepted, but the moral substances are like chalk and cheese.”

"Humans aren’t very efficient movers—until you put us on a bicycle, when we become some of the most energy-efficient land travelers in the animal kingdom."
My TED talk just dropped! It's a call to our common humanity to tackle factory farming, the great hidden moral crisis of our time.
Future generations will judge our treatment of animals harshly. But we can act now to end the worst abuses.

@dickebuerste53 alles soweit okay-ish, aber wenn ich mich nochmal entscheiden müsste, würde ich eher das 8er nehmen.. wegen: besseres glas, und liegt weit besser in der hand. (mein 9a hat schon nen kl sprung, und is gefühlt echt klobig ;/ ). vorteil 9a: akku!!
