I don’t think I have any settings that would filter out those comments tho…

Have you seen what construction workers in Japan wear? It’s a subculture with their own style: baggy knickerbockers and jika tabi boots.

Anyways, maybe you can experiment with fashion when you’re not on the job 👍

This has to be the most eat pray love meme I’ve ever seen. Hindus are vegetarian not vegan (disclaimer: they aren’t a monolith) and use a lot of ghee (milk product). That brown dude looks like a Sikh; they are typically not vegetarian or vegan.

India is known for vegetarian cuisine due to Hinduism. Jains are a small minority.

Best I could do.

I’d narrow the blame to fast fashion, which started in the late 1990s. Fashion in general has been with us since ancient times.

Good points 👍

And from the ashes, another sentient life form will evolve and repeat all our mistakes, perhaps make even worse mistakes. Instead of mass suicide, how about we focus on solving the problems you identified? There are indeed horrible humans, but there are also plenty of incredibly wonderful humans.

Curious: Is there some decentralized version of mobile phones? Like a mesh network for communication over walkie talkies. Your walkie talkie would help extend the range of nearby walkie talkies and route communication between them.

Aren’t mobile phones just radios that communicate with towers? Could a smartphone app accomplish this?

Jilanico, 8 months ago

That’s exactly what I was envisioning, thank you! I wonder if radios in smartphones (cellular module or wifi direct) could be leveraged to do the same in densely populated areas. Could there be a meshtastic app for phones? Free, decentralized mobile phone calls.

I mean instead of using the radios to communicate with towers, use them to communicate with each other. Don’t know if the phone’s cellular radio could be used but certainly WiFi direct would work?

Seems like there is an app called Briar that does this for messaging. Not sure if it does voice calls.

Yup. People in rural areas could probably set up powerful radios to connect cities. Crossing oceans might be a problem.

Found an app called Briar that does this sort of thing for messaging.

That makes sense. I saw another mesh app that lets you transmit voice messages, so it’s not real time.

Which project?

Ah cool! The app I found is White Mouse, but it says it’s limited to a 100 meter radius so I wonder if it’s truly mesh.
