    Alright, everyone post your opinions.

    I think Base 12 is superior to Base 10 for human use.

    We could get most of the way to stopping climate change by just not eating meat.

    Also, I liked Mass Effect 3 more than 1 or 2.

      I agree with the first one, the second one is factually incorrect (agriculture is only 10% of human CO2 emissions even in the meat-hungry US), and I have no clue what Mass Effect is so I can’t comment on the last one.

        It ain’t the emissions, it’s the land use. About 40% of the USA’s land is used for animal agriculture. Another 8% is for literally all the other crops. Stop eating meat, and we could return about a third of the land in the US to nature, or other uses. That’s a lot of carbon capture / solar power plants etc.

          That’s a good point, though there’s a significant financial barrier to building renewable infrastructure that doesn’t go away just because land is available.
