You can’t sell a tree for $50,000.
Health care has elastic demand. Let’s try to sell it as a health care device. new price $100,000.
Well, algae is better at making oxygen…
Plus it will double as a food source for all the poor people. Corporate is going to love this new marketing campaign. We will sell it as a subscription, but also call it open source In an ending World Hunger campaign. can’t miss. Get in now!
Omg they’re gonna put a spigot on it. I fucking love this - “Get your green slop, poors.”
We need a nice friendly corporate spokesperson. let’s put Jerry on trying to steal somebody from Disney. We’re going to make an absolute fortune on this.
Faster setup, but also algae is way more efficient at generated oxygen and at cleaning the air, magnitudes more than trees are.
As in like combine harvester? What’s wrong with a single old farmer with a sickle? Nothing. They’re just far too slow.
Trees destroy infrastructure with their roots.
And vice versa. Tree roots need to be exposed to air and paving over them is bad for the tree.
Properly introducing trees in urban environments would take rethinking how we build roads and sidewalks. This thing looks like you could deploy it anywhere.
Trees are good for our sanity. The healing tank from Starship Troopers might be good for the environment depending on how it’s powered etc but it is certainly dystopian to look at
cities are already halfway dystopian, why not use algae pools to help compete the look?
So why don’t we rethink the way we design urban environments to be more friendly to all life rather than the car-centric urban hellscapes we have now?
Because it would take trillions of dollars to do that at scale.
Not saying it’s a good justification, it’s just the answer to why.
Slowly, over time making our cities better for future generations to live in?
It doesn’t have to be calculated in dollars but in quality of life. It’s investing in the welfare of your people. Plus, every city that has heavily pedestrianised so far has seen an increase in local spending and a decrease in public infrastructure spending.
So like… Even the money people should know.
What wretched scumbags downvoted this? Even Star Trek had fucking trees Jesus Christ
Beats me. People seem to just want bandaid solutions that “scientists” think up that will cost trillions of dollars rather than solutions like… Planting trees and flowers in neighbourhoods that benefit humans and nature.
I wonder how long one of these algae tanks would have to run to counter the emissions cost of creating, placing and maintaining said algae tank. This shit is literally techbros reinventing the train every other month.
The people with the money only see things one quarter at a time. It’s a shame, but that’s the way the world is now.
lord Sauron used to say this, and everybody criticized him. Turns out he created jobs and it was correct. Fuck those trees.
Well if you asked what’s wrong with tree… it’s really uneffective in making oxygen :<
Here’s some explanation by Be Smart https://youtu.be/DZ_T4zMBx6E
Fuck those trees. and windmills. bunch of communists.
Trees take years to grow and these can be rolled out everywhere.
Lord Sauron has educated us about trees. they are a nuisance and should be eliminated. Vote for the only person offering a battery economy now. And do not sleep on this amazing investment.
Screw that limited thinking, we’re turning these things into skyscraper windows. Sure, your world will look green and murky, but you won’t need blinds, and you’ll get much needed oxygen into that dusty old cube farm you call “work”.
Is your world too murky? Buy the ship maker 3000 for only $7400 each. It’s got a light, and inside it contains the highly amazing substance called Brondo. Get it now while supplies last.
can we have both? trees are more natural to have around, but these looks cool af
We need these to replace trees, and everybody to eat gigantic meals out of a bucket. Don’t hesitate this is the New World.
I’m going to drink a gallon of this stuff, and never have to breathe again.
Fun fact: Some types of Algae like Chlorella are actually safe to eat and nutritious (they sell it dried as a nutritional supplement).
