    Sounds like doomish stuff. We innovate all the time. If copper and lithium are short supply items then technology will morph to use something else.

        This was my first thought, we aren’t going to develop the whole world. That’s not how this works. Who said that was a goal of… well … anyone’s?

        That’s a rhetorical question. Frfr tho, does that remind me work on your instance only, or what’s the deal with that?

          Just banking on some bot figuring out how to do this within the next 15 years.

          There used to be a bot like this on that site that was run by that troubled young man who decided to focus exclusively on monetization to selfishly help fund lawsuits related to multiple instances of trespassing on farms and being found pants down fucking chickens.
