At some point people will have to realize that oil companies don’t pump oil and burn it for fun, they pump oil and it gets burned because (gasp!) we (as a collective group of people) demand oil is pumped so we can burn it. Blaming Exxon for us causing climate change is just a nice way you can point a finger somewhere…

This all feels like a wildly uncontextualized conversation to have without discussing where these jobs are and the median salary to cost of living ratio. Median salary within a whole country doesn’t sound very valuable to discuss unless you’re just trying to compare jobs to each other. Tons of jobs can be moved to 6…

And no sequence from 2001: a Space Odyssey makes the cut:

I’ve carried a Leatherman Micra in my pocket for probably 20 years, and it’s more massively useful than a towel. I use this thing multiple times every single day. I don’t know what I did back before I carried it. It’s, like, my fourth one, though. I’ve lost at least one each to security at airports and Six Flags when…

GPS tracking macrochips?

Amazingly, every single one of us down here in the comments section is not doing enough to cut their consumption, and probably never will. Myself included.

It’s going to take a global takeover and some near-fascist levels of enforcement in order to curb human activity in the necessary way to fix the planet. Let's just hope they're nice. Benevolent Global Fascist Party 2032!

You are presuming that if the system changed to another system it would all be ok. It would help in the beginning, but ultimately it wouldn’t. People would still want to accumulate stuff and be rich and buy more. And they will do it by any violent means necessary under a system that wouldn’t allow them to do so…

According to some theories, humans need to stop consuming by 95%, compared to how much they consume now. We’re not talking here just to recycle your soda can, or to buy an electric car. Instead, we’re talking about bringing consumption almost to a halt (except food). The paucity in consumption will naturally bring…

Is our virtually unanimous disdain for slideshows on the list?

Article on how to clean a gravestone without any suggestions on how to clean the gravestones...

The sudden fetishization of a thoroughly outmoded sound reproduction technology (vinyl records) boggles the mind, especially when nouveau vinyl fans insist that “anyone can hear the difference” and you’re just a deaf, ignorant idiot if you disagree.

Audiophiles are only surpassed in insufferability by oenophiles (wine) and javaphiles (coffee)....

Yes, making your home more efficient is something you can do.

With a touch of fart-sniffing from both the author and the baristas who gave quotes.

That should be an article in and of itself. I’m waiting Lifehacker........

That is truly excellent advice!

I’m sorry. This article doesn’t make any sense at all to me. If you were going to open a new credit card solely for the cashback bonus (which, don’t...that’s dumb), why wouldn’t you just wait until you have a purchase you need to make that would actually cost that much (or close to it) without the 3% fee. We just…

I’m currently pregnant, but in the ‘looks like I’ve gained a bunch of weight not pregnant’ stage. I’ve already got plans that if a stranger starts rubbing my belly, I’m just going to reach over and rub theirs. I’m still trying to think of sarcastic remarks for the most common comments.
