If the weather is so nice that you could get a sunburn, then you can at least probably see something. But the worst part about skiing, at least in Europe, is that because of Global warming we have to little Snow, so we use a lot of electricity to create artificial snow. Way to go Europeans, at least we can ski for another five years even if the future 20 generations will suffer und this (if they survive).
Laughs in nuclear and renewables and sprays snow in your face while skidding to a halt
We're running out of water though.
Don't worry, icecaps are melting 😅
That's a relief.
The oceans are drying up?
The oceans aren't great to make snow with. Also they're often far from mountain tops, for some reason.
That's what waterskiing is for, silly!
The thing with ski resorts is, that they’re at the most distant location from a ocean usually. Also they’re high up.
They're actually getting wetter. Wetter oceans!
Jesus christ even in a meme thread about skiing. It's Lemmy...we all know about global warming you don't need to point it out in every fucking post.
Like, look...I know it's important to talk about. But maybe, just maybe, we don't need to make every single comment section about global warming and eating the rich. Just a thought.
I never understood the whole "don't talk about bad thing!" thing. It doesn't make the problem go away if you just ignore it. It just makes it sneak up on you.
So we should just echo chamber it on every Lemmy thread? Do you really think there's anyone here on the other side of this issue?
There are any number of things you could do that might actually have a meaningful impact if that's what's so important to you. Gloom and dooming on a meme comments thread is not one of them. Don't act like I'm stopping you from changing the world here, I'm just saying feeling bad for yourself on a forum full of people who already agree with you isn't productive.
Organize a protest or write a politician if you feel so strongly about it. No? Then let people enjoy internet memes in peace without making every single thread about these issues.
It is pretty tiresome.
Yep. Tiresome and it doesn't actually do anything about the issue. You could even argue it gives people a false sense of action and makes them less likely to do basic shit like vote.
