A thing that super frustrates me is on Mastodon if you run your own server you can excuse yourself from the character limit, but I don't run my own Mastodon server, but I *do* run my own Bluesky server, but Bluesky is designed so even if you run your own server you're locked into Bluesky's character limit. Anyway

[me, trapped in Lalande 21185 observational simulation hell #43233, circa common era one million]

[glowing six-eyed lizard creature, i call him "pat"] so it's like every species has this petroleum gap they have to get over

[me] oh i know exactly what you mean

[pat] like you shoot up to industrial civilization status because of fossil fuels, and then there's like this timer running, can you use the free energy of the fossil fuels to transition to a better energy source before you either run out or wreck your climate

[me] we did the climate thing

[pat] yeah we were totally blindsided. we had a series of glacier formations trapping giant methane bubbles so we were off to feedback loop city before we even noticed the carbon ppm was rising

[me] we actually saw it coming. we had like 100 years between us figuring out that carbon was affecting our climate and the system first going nonlinear

[pat] oh damn how did you allocate your resources during that time

[me] *slowly takes a deep breath*

[me] *deep breath*
