Ashes to Ashes

Where is the hydraulic press channel?

We can go farther.

Yeah. How small are they if we turn their ashes into synthetic diamonds?
- Ok, so each person is a little less than 20% carbon, so a pile of 177 bodies would contain about 2000 kilos of carbon.
  A 1 carat round cut diamond has 0.2 grams of carbon and is about 5mm in diameter.
  So what is that, 2 million diamonds? It would be a pile about the size of a car?

These cremated remains are dangerous and can attack at any time!
- so we must crush it

Relevant XKCD

This one is gold. I guess a lot of them are.

So crematoriums are the transportation of the future. Sweet!

Case in point: Star Trek's transporters, which pretend to be teleporters but probably just atomize you while building an identical clone somewhere else.
- That's literally the case. There's two Rikers running around because the transporter malfunctioned one time.

[Fuck Cars] communities be like

Paging [Fuck Bodies]
The ideal form of transportation is Indian-style trainpacking.
You can disregard comfort when transporting the communityfolks, but beyond that point the pressure becomes too lethal.
Yes, too lethal. The pressure is already lethal. But within acceptable limits.
And maybe a bit of antinatalism sprinkled in.

How do you get three elephants into a mini?

You chop them in half. Then you chop them in half again. Then you slice them up very finely. Then you mash them. Then you put them in plastic bags. You put some in the boot, you put some in the back seat, and what's left over you put on the passenger seat.

Fuck cars, and humans too!

In ww2 some people think same 😔

Cars are great though (for the driver). There is no better feeling than sitting in your own car, away from the public. After decades of going on public transport, I love being in my car.

But sure, they suck for the environment and how cities have to be planned to allow for them. Totally agree on that. But they do give people freedom to go anywhere without being dependent on public transport and being subjected to the public.

Also driving a car is the most fun I've ever had. It's better than anything. Sex is overrated compared to driving.

It's the best! I love being stuck in stop and go traffic, with hundreds of people who barely know how to drive, and oh my favorite is how no one knows how to merge, and I'm always getting cut off. It's great. I can't wait for them to add more lanes.
- Meh, in some places like certain parts of bay area, it's not very usual to get stuck in traffic. So unless you disincentivize it with and provide good alternatives with public transport, people are not gonna even consider it.
  Love what Netherlands is doing with their cities
- Haha yeah I know people are frustrated too, but I don't feel it at all, at least not yet :)
When I had a daily commute and switched to public transportation, I loved being able to do something else with my time than paying attention to the road to navigate and react to other cars.
- I find myself reacting to other people on public transport and it's stuff like smelling really bad, making loud noises etc etc. I very much prefers cars...
  I get depressed when going on public transport. :)
trains are so nice to sleep on though
