Not really doing a great job finding the right place for your posts. You broke three community rules posting this here; rules 1, 2 and 9. Perhaps you should try a comics community?

Lightsong , to You Should Know in Earth Temperature Timeline

I don't see link to anything here?

Fitik , to Fediverse in Earth Temperature Timeline

Sorry, that's a cool infographic, but how is it related to the Fediverse?

I assumed that anyone visiting the Fediverse is also a resident human of the Earth.

By that logic, this could be a place for literally anything, when clearly it isn't. It's for Fediverse-specific posts and commentary.

Climate change is important, yes, but it's not Fediverse-specific, is it?

How. Dare. You.

Disgusting humans...

Brave of you to assume seeing one graph will change people's minds.

Pencilnoob ,

Definitely include a graph of shareholder value overlayed on top.

Sarcasm aside, maybe we should have a graph that also shows:

  • average hours worked a year
  • average number of sunsets a person sees before they die
  • average hours spent with loved ones per year
  • average rent
  • average hours worked to pay for groceries
  • average hours spent doomscrolling on social media
  • average student loan debt payments
  • suicide rate
  • average zoom calls a year
  • happiness

And see that by basically all metrics we are working more, paid less, more depressed, more stressed, and unhappy.

I would absolutely show that graph to everyone I know

Slightly odd that you would assume this one graph is the only information people have been exposed to.

Phegan , to Fuck Cars in Today's xkcd ranks cars as less dangerous than bikes and scooters

I mean, it's more dangerous for someone on a bike or Scooter on car-centric infrastructure than it is for someone in a car.

Only if you consider only the safety of the vehicle's pilot. Another perhaps more rational way to look at it is to look at how it affects the safety of all people. And then it's clear that the car is still more dangerous than the bike, even on infrastructure specifically designed for car safety above all else.

tobogganablaze , to Fuck Cars in Today's xkcd ranks cars as less dangerous than bikes and scooters

No, they ranking the usage of a car as less dangerous. Which is correct.

Kuinox ,

If we look at it statically, biking is healthier because it reduces health problems.

bionicjoey ,

Bike is healthier until you get pancaked by an SUV or pickup which are increasingly all that people drive on roads nowadays. The roads aren't safe for bikes. If you live somewhere without dedicated bike infrastructure (no, painted bike lanes on the street don't count), biking is basically playing Russian roulette.

Kuinox ,

Even in area not made for bikes, the health benefits outweight the risk of getting killed by a car in the total longevity.
This become false when the road have too much traffic: air pollution damage start to outweight the health benefits of doing sport.

outsideno1877 ,

Not really no cars cause a MASSIVE amount of deaths less likely to be the driver potentially but its still far more fatal to other people which imo is actually worse

Kolanaki , to Ask Lemmy in Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

I am pretty sure every movie I really like is under 60% on RT.

Maximum Overdrive (1986): 14%

It's dumb as shit, and I will always love it for that reason.

@Riker_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

Hook with it's 29% tomatometer rating. Dustin Hoffman—sexual misconduct allegations aside—fucking nailed it as Hook, and I think the general concept of an adult Peter Pan returning was pretty cool. Also, who doesn't love Robin Williams? It was a movie I loved in my childhood so I am absolutely biased, but 29% seems absurd. I still find the "Don't try to stop me, Smee" scene hilarious to this day.

ExtraOrdinary , to Ask Lemmy in Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998), starring Johnny Depp sitting at a blasphemous 50%

Following the XKCD rules and keeping it in the 2000s and later makes it a lot harder. I could make an entire list of '90s movies that qualify.

But my answer is: Pitch Black.

Bonus answer, which doesn't quite qualify because it has an exact 60% rating: Love (2011, the space one)

Leviathan , to Ask Lemmy in Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

STATION!

improvisedbuttplug , to Ask Lemmy in Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?

Chappie (32%)

I love that movie and have seen it several times. Directed by Noel Blompkamp (District 9) and starring Die Antwoord.

It’s extremely original and entertaining sci fi.

Rootiest , to Ask Lemmy in Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?
@Rootiest@lemmy.world avatar

I liked:

  • Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (48%)
  • Jupiter Ascending (28%)

Death to Smoochy is a fucking masterpiece.

OutlierBlue ,

It's a seriously amazing movie. Both Edward Norton and Robin Williams were great. I can't believe so many people and the critics missed the point.
