Devil's advocate:

No it wouldn't if an all powerful deity allows you to not feel that boredom. Maybe you can be bored recreationally. As a treat you know?

Certainly any "infinite reward" existence would be something very different than our current state of being but an all powerful being could create something like it.

Apathy could be removed, or adjusted too. As can memories, let's say at our own will. Sheep detective style. Let's replay Elden ring for the first time for the 100th time. Make the conditions perfect to feel the same thrill.

You can exist in bursts. Tailend your life, wipe, repeat. Look back at a whim to see many pasts.

    Thats just a weird and uninformered though common opinion. Sure, if Elon was in charge he'd just start handing out food and get angry when that doesn't work. That's not a solution though in any way. No hate to you this opinion just annoys me

    Solving world hunger means expanding food infrustructure. More growing (locally), more distribution, and finally in places moving populations if we want 100% coverage. These are perminent solutions (with maintanance cost, though that would be offset by the economic benefits indirectly). This doesn't increase food prices, it decreases them.

    No though, overpopulation on scale isn't going to happen. Food deaths are not the most common form of deaths in these countries and population booms only happen at scale after industrialization. Not after food scarcity is removed.

    Lastly, one child policies are stupid. Populations should boom post industrialization. They even out in time and if you fuck with that natural system you get massive issues. Any one child policy will cause incredibly fucked up situations while it's in effect, limit the growth of industry, cause the populance to grow angrier, and long term create unstable generations with wildly disfunctional population statistics. Too many males, disolution of smaller minority groups, and sociatal trauma from the killing of unwanted offspring.

    This creates a society where birth characteristics are over-valued.

    Lastly, this creates a "bump" generation without the economic boon that comes from the population boost.

    One kid policies don't work, damage society in lasting ways, and the problem they purport to solve isn't nearly as big as those created by the act.

    No, feeding the world would not cause some great disaster, even if its done in a shit way.

    Populations wouldn't explode just from food security, the people would have quite a bit of time before infrustructure degrades far enough to be irreparable.

    Thank you. I feel like the underdog here but I know if I train properly I can make the top spot. I have no mprals, I'll go back and downclock content that hasn't been clicked at all in years. I'm going win in a way that makes the judges hesitate on giving me the award out of spite. I'm going to ruin the fun for everyone by taking this way too seriously.

    Thank you for providing a contest for me and me alone

    I suddenly need a wired connection for a job starting very soon but it won't be hooked up for quite some time. I have my neighborswifi password though. Iknow this is a longshot, but would I be able to use my laptop to change a wireless connection into a wired connection?

    It's an older desktop Mac managed by the company. My laptop is an HP omen 15 with arch Linux on it

     

    Just saw in an announcement from the dev that they're releasing a minecraft clone with a focus on recreating and remastering the old minecraft days. Though it's in early access this is the rare early access gem that's mostly done before release. The 'early release' meaning that the game doesn't have full multiplayer support, they need to improve linux support, and want to have better modding support. A few other goals too.

    Really happy to see this lethal dose of nostalgia come through

     

    Day 1!
