Charging for something that occurs naturally in nature absolutely baffles me. How is that even legal? It's like charging for air.

unevenly distributed, polluted, mismanaged and wasted.
And now, on top of this, there's the issue of such high amounts of water being needed to cool AI computers that scarcity is only increasing. This is a resource that EVERYONE NEEDS TO SURVIVE, but it's treated like garbage and I cannot fathom why.
Wetland
Why are wetlands some of the most populated areas on earth? For something that appears inhabitable, there is such a wide variety of life that dwells in them, and somehow, its a collection of some of the most dangerous creatures.
They can lead to increased severe flooding
Is this not one of the main things they are meant to prevent? We as humans are GREAT at shooting ourselves in the foot.
most of the rivers in the world are too polluted to support certain human activities,
If the sentiment that water is more precious than oil is generally accepted, why is it not better protected? All of our bodies of water are polluted beyond belief, many areas have severe shortages of water due to said pollution as well as diseases, and at least in terms of the U.S. government, we don't see much happening to preserve or clean up what is quite literally the most important resource on the planet.
water strider
Does this make water striders the Jesus of the bug world
solvent
What other elements fall in this category?
586 calories
I could just be incredibly stupid, but what does calories have to do with this?
Water is the universal solvent
Honestly, completely unrelated, but how is it that people develop an allergy to water? There's been several cases of it, but its such a pure element that I genuinely have to wonder.
Whiskey is for drinking. Water is for fighting”
Legitimately what does this mean
Figure 10.2.2
There is scientific evidence of the damage that humans are doing, but is it a matter of just not believing it that drives us to keep going? Why are warnings by experts not considered valuable or even viewed as a threat by most figure heads? Is it apathy or just refusal to believe?
The excess CO2 in the atmosphere is responsible for the increased CO2 dissolving into the ocean,
When we are actively contributing to the deterioration of the ONE SINGLE planet that we have, genuinely, why is it not seen as more pressing by large corporations? You can't make money if humanity is wiped out, so what would it take to get someone to actually care?
Through the flux of decomposition, some decaying biomass is converted into atmospheric carbon by the decomposers, while most of the biomass is buried into the soil,
Why is it that the gasses emitted by decaying humans are considered harmful in most cases, specifically in mortuary practices, but so much of the air we breathe is attributed to dying plants, animals, etc.. Is it because of the lack of open space often associated with dealing with human corpses? Does it not allow for proper ventilation for it to be considered passive?
What is your first reaction when you hear the word “physics
Weirdly enough, I always associate physics with much more physical (badum tss) reactions. In all reality, I think it stems solely from a vine that was popular before the death of the app that featured a high schooler showing her physics teacher shooting off what looked like a rocket in the classroom. That, followed by endless online compilations of teachers and professors showing a plethora of crazy things tends to give me a more exciting view of physics than what it actually is. There is a severe lack of Newton's cradles and electrical reactions, and instead, a lot more math and graphing. I understand that pulling the most interesting bits of a topic is what garners interest, but in alll my experience with physics, it more so feels like false advertising: like being told you're going to a waterpark and arriving to see a pitiful slip n' slide. I can't entirely say I'm sure what classifies as physics, as like I said before, my exposure has been so incredibly broad that it feels impossible to pinpoint the boxes that need to be checked for something to fall into that category. To make an overly long blog-post short, 'physics' makes me think of fun science-y stuff, but also leaves me both confused and disappointed by the reality of it.
