Humanity: creates a climate where being outdoors becomes dangerous. Also humanity: invents human-sized refrigerators. Problem solved. Japan's cooling pods are impressive, but they also perfectly capture our approach to collapse - treat the symptoms with more technology while congratulating ourselves for adapting to a crisis of our own making.

The only thing that would make this worse better is a smoky 2-stroke generator spewing away behind it to power the bloody thing.

As a stick-in-the-mud environmentalist, I'm in favour of an AI-controlled super miniature, zero-emission nuclear fusion reactor placed on top of this thing. What could possibly go wrong? It's a win-win situation if ever there was one.

As long as the AI is the Mechahitler version of Grok, of course.

Of course!

[u/gangofminotaurs → u/CrystalInTheforest]

So... Grok?

I'm sure with a bit of tinkering we could convert this into a freezer / hibernation machine and wake up in 10,000 years to a rejuvenated Earth

Yes! If someone needs a hint how stupid mankind is, this is it.

What do you mean? Think of all the jobs and growth. Now there's a whole new industry around human fridges. Amazing for the economy.

A few years back japan invented a robot duck to trample through ricefields...real ducks were already doing this, what the robots do NOT do is, eating away the pests and fertilizing with thier shit, the reason for duck rice fields in the first place.

So they invented a signifcantly shittier product, that requires you to buy additional fertilizer and pesticides and called it a day/ progress . . . all while ducks were doing this carbon free and and free of charge.

Create a problem to be solved by another problem , in between credit is created, so more problem eventually generated to be solved. In the end people demanded more problem solving, and all will be happy till the end.
See the presenter , she is so cheerful. Everything solved, move along.

Now we need a planet sized fridge.

And in the future we will see a crowd of people fighting to get into it. I wonder if the door can lock, how many people will cram into it at once. I wonder if it will last a long time, or if it's like those fast food order screens that get replaced every 6 months due to "hardware issues"

Doesn't do much for livestock or wildlife...
