  • "Measurable" is the beast here. IQ typically has to drop 20 - 30 points on average to be measurable. So it's probable that the current Flouride levels of municipal water are dropping IQs by say 10 points on average.

  • This is all so fucking stupid!

    Flouride provides unarguable protection from cavities. To do so it needs to come into contact with teeth.

    Flouride also (very likely) has brain health implications. So you should not swallow it.

    Obvious solution! : what every dentist already does, swish some flouride or hold it against your teeth, then spit it all out.

    Our politicians who want to put it in, and keep it in the water can go right to hell for brain poisoning our youth.

  • Treat them like snakes. Grab the neck as close to below the head as possible. In desperation you can subdue two at once. It will be savagely unpleasant. If your grip strength and stamina is enough, you can faint them in a minute or so.

    Ideally you grab one at a time with both hands. Even the average human is strong enough to snap the neck in seconds. Grab snap repeat. Just stay focused. Grab snap repeat.

  • Oh, it's an hour later as your loved ones in the car don't make it and you're told your injuries are life changing. Crushed with pain and guilt, all for swerving for the one fucking squirrel exactly as you've always been told not to.

  • They are just cancelling the programs where they buy excess solar energy. The solution is simple, residential batteries to store the excess yourself. It probably creates even more money for households that do create excess at peak hours since they charge more for peak energy hours.

    Fuck PGE. The switch to off grid solar, panels connected to batteries that power your house, and a intake switch that only reconnects your house to the grid to top off the batteries at non-peak hours, a long with elimination of natural gas for heating, should eventually see PGE profits drop significantly.

  • They are absolutely smart and dexterous enough.

    That's a good point about the sea corroding everything though, they'd have to move to land for industry.

    It would start with farming. They already use tools, building fish and mollusc farms would be a likely start.

    They can scurry across land in short bursts already. Bringing salt so they can explore freshwater streams and rivers seems possible. Digging canals they can travel in up further into the land seems possible.

    Why can I mentally harm someone, but if I punch them I go to jail?

    If I have beef with someone, I could punch them and go to jail.

    But I can also bully them, humiliate them, degrade them, psychologically annihilate them even, and that's fine, legallly. Why?
