Some people say that self-checkout machines should have a discount because you give up the services of a cashier.

First, think of what you believe is the minimum action humanity must take to reverse climate change (on whatever timeline).

The world implements all of it, starting tomorrow, and none of it can be defied, reversed, or exempted until its purpose is fulfilled. Assume civilization doesn’t immediately descend into chaos, no significant social reforms are made, and you attempt to continue with your current life and lifestyle.

How screwed do you think you’d personally be?

  • I literally would not survive
  • Extreme hardship, enough to make me reconsider survival
  • Significant hardship that’s survivable, but with greatly decreased quality of life
  • Some hardship, but the sacrifices aren’t life-altering
  • No (or no noticeable) change
  • My life would actually be better

I happen to have been in a few Dollar Generals this week and I noticed they’ve all put a sign on the doors that you read as you exit the store.

The signs say “SEE YOU NEXT TIME”.

  • I think it’s a nice gesture.
  • Wait a second…
  • Okay, now I get it.
  • Damnit, Nemo, now I can’t not see it.
  • Somebody at Dollar General is laughing.
  • As long as you don’t return on a Tuesday, it’s okay.
  • I’m British. I don’t see any problem here.
  • Maybe they can switch it to “IF YOU SEEK A BARGAIN, SHOP HERE”
  • I don’t understand. What are we talking about?
