I'm not sure I will have many fucks to give relating to motorcycles. in 2044 I would be 82 should I be alive and probably in charge of an electric scooter.

I don't see it happening at all. All the talk of EVs and alternative fuels...nothing is actually proving able to replace fossil fuels. Worse things are likely to happen which will make driving cars and riding motorcycles a minor concern.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #4 I guess one way to address the obesity problem is to divert all the meat, seed oil and corn syrup production into making fossil fuel analogues and feeding the population on burgers made from insect grubs that eat the cake left after extracting the oil & starch and other waste. Apparently cockroach milk is very nutritious. A much healthier diet rich in protein and good fats.

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #3 As someone 77 years of age, your comments depressed the shit out of me. Since you mentioned Millennials, I will say that I'm finding them to be a very, very strange demographic. Whenever I've had any social interaction with them, especially Millennial males, I've found them to be similar to those people in the old science fiction movie "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". If you say something to them, they behave as if you're speaking an alien language and don't respond accordingly. As Gertrude Stein once said, "There's no 'there' there." And, Wessie, since you mention obesity in another post, I'll say this is a subject that has significance. However, I've come to realize it's also the solution to the Earth's over-population problem. Obesity will eventually cause one's demise, and if you take one of those "all the rage" obesity drugs, it'll probably get you, too. Voila! Population control. |

Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #8 to continue the dystopian futurology and we just need to get over the moral revulsion of rendering down the dead fat people[1] to use the oil to power diesel trucks or aircraft. Seems such a waste for it to go to feed worms or go up a chimney in a crematorium. Seems the industrial process already exists with surplus chicken, pig and cattle fat processed into aviation fuel. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65727664 Seems a better solution to me than that posited in the film Soylent Green. [1] I am one of these, who has been type 2 diabetic since 2017 and recently prescribed the oral version of ozempic due to rising HBA1c. Apparently it should make me lose weight as well as improve sugar management. I might live longer or it will give me cancer. [2] [2] I am happy to sign a waiver for my corpse to be turned into biofuel. Save my son the funeral costs which are extortionate.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #10 well, Soylent Green was the inspiration for my satire... Spam goes here |
Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #12 The optimal use is as lube for the driveshaft, not fuel. If it gives hope, old school typewriters are making a comeback. Kids are starting to see the value of something permanent once put to paper.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #13Zitat von BEARR im Beitrag #12 I don't see any anecdotal evidence for that in the UK. What is your source for this phenomenon?
