Removing fertilizer would cause a major economic downturn but most agriculture isn’t grown for human food. It’s calorie crops that get turned into feed and fuel.

Everyone is agreeing with that…

Good land doesn’t stay empty for long.

The problem is “good” land.

Even if we only grew the most efficient crops and utilized proper crop rotation, we wouldn’t be able to feed just humans without fertilizer.

And not only are we going to run out, the runoff into the environment is fucking shit up.

Like, that’s what people aren’t understanding, and I honestly can’t think of an easier way to explain it.

What’s crazy is people acting like this is new…

Past presidents were just less blatant about raiding treasuries, these asshats think they can just ask for it instead of sending dump trucks for the gold.

No

No what?

You linked a source saying that ammonium sulfate and potash are different and have different functions…

Which is what I said:

But we need all three in specif percentages, we can’t just use any combination, they don’t do the same thing…

I don’t understand what you’re trying to disagree with, or what “assumptions” you’re talking about?

The only assumption I made was that you were talking about ammonia, but if that’s what you meant your link makes zero logical sense…

What are you trying to say?

Saskatchewan produces 30% of the world’s fertilizer and it’s nowhere close to the end yet

As I said:

any that thinks we can isn’t thinking on the right timelines.

I’m assuming you’re talking about ammonia fertilizer tho.

Do you know that process requires fossil fuels?

Do you understand that burning fossil fuels isn’t sustainable?

Phosphate and potash are both mined, and eventually we’ll run out of that just like the liquid natural gas to get the ammonia. But we need all three in specif percentages, we can’t just use any combination, they don’t do the same thing…

Continuing to use fertilizer to support an ever expanding population is as sustainable as turning the AC up to mitigate climate change.

It only “works” if you don’t understand the problem, unfortunately lots of people get belligerent when they realize they’re not thinking thru something.

Narcissists need constant wins, the only way to get that, is arbitrarily “ending” something the second you believe you have an advantage, and then acting like it continuing is a new instance. Like a bully who hits someone but genuinely feels slighted when they respond seconds later.

So he believes he won a war, and Iran continuing to fight is a separate thing.

Not trying to say his train of thought is logical.

Just saying it’s more illogical that people don’t put in the two seconds effort to understand how these powerful idiots think.

They’re incredibly predictable

Probably.

I hate how unreliable lyrics website have become.

Used to be some random human bothered copying it from the CD insert, now it’s automated closed captioning half the time.

No we can’t…

Even if everyone switched to a full vegan diet and we culled every farm animal immediately, it would be a bandaid.

We’re propped up by non renewable phosphate fertilizer and virtually no country tries to reclaim what is used.

I’m pretty sure one small wastewater plant in England reclaims it, the rest gets flushed out to the ocean where it causes further issues and becomes for all intents and purposes irrevocable.

Like, I’m not saying going vegan is pointless, I’m just saying it’s the equivalent of paper straws on a global timeline.

We’re fucked, and we’ve been fucked longer than any human has been alive, we just haven’t realized it yet.

I mean, the easiest way would be to go for organizations over individuals…

Like PBS, or https://www.youtube.com/@TheInstituteOfArtAndIdeas/videos

If you’re just watching random videos, there’s gonna be a bunch of slop

Fertilizer isnt sustainable…

We’re gonna run out, but before we do it’s fucking up the entire ecosystem.

There’s no way to sustain the population we have now, any that thinks we can isn’t thinking on the right timelines.

A lot of 90s music sounds deep because we attribute meaning to it and our memories of the times…

Then you see the lyrics and nope, it was just the heroin

It’s the edge of the world and all of Western civilization

The sun may rise in the East, at least it settled in a final location

It’s understood that Hollywood sells Californication

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlUKcNNmywk

The joke being if Alaska is “The east” it’s where the sun rises, then goes 99% around the planet to Cali

Yeah, but it settles in its final location to the south…

That’s so brät

Yeah, that’s it.

I think some people just do the “water lock” thing to close their jaw off naturally to try and stop a yawn, and that’s how they “discover” they can do it.

I’m convinced people that “can’t” just don’t know how.

It’s the same movement as closing your throat off so you can open your mouth underwater, and you just push “up” past that till it puts pressure on the eustachian tubes, and the rumble is your muscle fibers contracting against that which resonates on your eardrums.

Anyone can do it, it’s just hard to explain

The excuse for places that don’t have it is often:

If voters could recall politicians, they’d recall politicians!

Which is enough when politicians are the only ones who can change it.

So women will just lie, and Putin will get the rose tinted predictions that never materialize

Yeah, headline makes it sound like the WHO is planning to nuke someone.

No schadenfreude is ever worth giving daily mail a click…

You can’t trust anything they post anyways

We could fix SSA today if we removed the earnings cap on deductions…

Never forget FDR wanted it to be universal healthcare 80+ years ago but a few moderates told him we had to wait “one more term” to expand it to that.

The “crisis” is entirely man corporation made.
