I'll start: printers.

I bought an HP in March 2020 when my job went remote and HP bricked it remotely after only 100 pages because I wouldn't sign up for their subscription program. Ended up trashing a perfectly good printer.

Luckily my library's close by and I can print there remotely.

Ideally you just look for a Honda or Toyota from like 20 years ago, assuming you want gas powered. Look for only like 1-3 owners, regular service history. Those things will last into 600k+ miles if they received regular service and parts are dirt cheap.

If I did that I would just be another selfish, ignorant asshole complicit in the destruction and collapse of the natural systems that allow me to breath and eat. No, it would have to be electric. Even then I wouldn't really want it because of the tires and the raw materials needed to create it in the first place.

Open your fucking eyes, dude. Everything's dying. There won't be any grass to touch, in our lifetimes.

[–] grinning_serpent@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Touch grass.

Get off the fucking Internet, stop immersing yourself in anxiety and misery, and exist in the real world for a while.

Shit's okay.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 days ago

Lmao, tell that to the millions of families in Northern Africa and India that had children and grandparents die of heatstroke and thirst in the last few years (obviously you don't give a fuck about them). Or the hundreds of people that died in a wildfire in Hawaii (no fucks given, again). Shit is not okay. But it finally makes sense now, I'm such a fucking idiot. You're a climate change denialist. The destruction of civilization is partly caused by people like you; simply by being ignorant, selfish and so goddamn stupid. Block me so you can continue believing you're a good person and existing in the real world, or rather: living in a bubble and ignoring everything that's happening right now simply because it's not directly effecting you. Well, this conversation will likely only serve to as a reminder of how shitty of a person you are when you starve, die of thirst, burn to death or drown in flash flood. Or maybe some desperate person murders you for your whatever scraps of food you have and eats your dog, if you hadn't eaten them already by that point. Then you will know I was right (unless you're just that good at ignoring things that make you feel bad), but it will be far too late and already is in many ways. Again, not that it matters to you. I beileve you would much rather Live a Bubble and ignore the millions of climate change related deaths that don't effect you. Which it will, eventually. Not that you can think that far ahead, or beyond your next Wal-Mart trip.

I'm so glad you're still able to get to Wal-Mart in comfort though.

Fucking block me.

OK, convert a 20 year old Toyota or Honda. Way easier to find one than thinking you have to go pre-fuel injection era to avoid wireless connectivity. Either way, you're probably going to instantly trash a working engine apparently.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Yep, that's the plan. Maybe soon, more people will realize those engines are one of the main reasons millions of people have already died from catastrophic climate change. I doubt it though... most are too focused on themselves, their own comfort and "survival" to realize or even care how much of an impact their actions have and even then can easily blame some rich asshole so they can keep being just as selfish as said rich asshole.
