I was going to do that anyway

15-20% of CO2 emissions? From what? What are you trying to say? Use your words.

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 hours ago

I had the same question a few hours ago, but I found some science.
Tldr: 30% of energy use is in diesel, and about half of that is for tilling fields.

Rant:
Note that this is energy use, so only CO2 emissions are counted, while methan is ignored. If we stopped farming animals, the effective emissions of the sector would be cut in half. Even if we are unwilling to change out diet, maybe we should look at reducing the amount of fertilizer instead.

I… recognize that person

Don't hold out on us. Drop a link. (If they are consensually posting content)

Bro has a nice cock

Shit, is ploughing a girl less environmentally friendly?

I guess there's a serious risk of a baby which is like the least environmentally friendly thing possible

That's why I had a vasectomy

There's no way for me to get a femboy preggers

There are at least two things wrong with your statement.

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Sounds like you need to brush up on your double-negative rules then!

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think any part of that statement was incorrect

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

It's important to note that I said "wrong," not "incorrect."

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Are you trying to kink-shame me?

[–] Chakravanti@monero.town 1 points 8 hours ago

Kind of depends on context, purpose, & objective but they'll say right, defenition and then frame "truth."

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 12 points 22 hours ago
[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Depends. There's a a chance of equivalence in methane expulsion, but it depends on the diet...

And the through that is plowed

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 23 hours ago

Wrong hole, no risk really.

Top tier memes as always fossilesque. Thank you for making the fediverse a better place.

With pleasure, is there like an application process or

But where do I find a femboy to plough?

[–] DarkAri@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 19 hours ago

Currently at work

[–] edinbruh@feddit.it 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Go on wplace and guess from the drawings where they live. Apparently it's full of femboys and furries where I live, but I haven't found any yet

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Somewhere in Texas there's a big Alstolfo mural and someone wrote "if you look like this, DM me" next to it

At least there was, this was a few months ago

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 23 hours ago

Look for your local femboy hooters

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 23 hours ago

Maybe they're in the field

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The main problem is that, not ploughing increases the need for pesticides, currently around 8% of energy used and reduces yield. While not ploughing increasing requiring 3x the pesticides might not be the case, a 20% reduction in yield seems plausible.

The main energy consumption in farming is fertilizer at around 50%, but more importantly half the emissions are related to animal agriculture. Cutting back on that would actually make a difference.

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 1 points 2 hours ago

and moving away from monoculture mass farming would remove the need for fertilizer. There are many solutions that capitalism doesn't want.

their music is awesome!

Wouldn't gliding be faster?
