A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You're wasting your time arguing with a pigeon.

It's honestly one of the funniest threads I've read in a while.

Did you get to this part?

Rowing (or even getting out to swim and pull) is safer if you have enough people, because we can't safely make and power engines.

Like they're gonna have a fleet of oceangoing cargo ships, each towed by a massive team of willing humans, all while escaping the dastardly pirates and their motorboats.

It's like Mad Max and Waterworld had a beautiful, insane baby

Yeah definitely a troll. Probably AI-written unless they're really dedicated.

I like this part:

So…why rowing, of all things?

Because we have arms. What the fuck kind of question is that?

We also have legs, so I want to see their take on trains and how powering them with human-sized hamster wheels is better for "safety" and "efficiency"

Cargo planes in their world should be really interesting

Fair!

Though I had a bit of fun around the absurdity of their argument. Quickly went downhill though.
