It's more complicated than that. In my opinion 3G and 4G networks which made merge between regular and mobile internet possible and data cheap enough for mindless hordes to come online.
If we had modern phones but with 2G speeds those two would still separated and internet would be much better place.

This looks like reusable vape. How did they made world worse?
Tabacco made world worse and vapes helped quite some people quit it

>>106114164
I use "reusable" vapes and the concept of just chucking my entire device and buying a completely new one is so foreign to me. It's a massive waste and landfiller. Think about a landfill full of millions of these

>>106114164
I don't have a problem with reusable vapes, I used to have one for a while when I quit smoking. What I don't get is why waste money on a disposable vape when you could get a reusable one for pretty much the same price.

>>106114196
Zoomers are too retarded to put juice in a hole. They get too confused and frustrated when presented with too many options. They say "bruh that's cap" when someone starts explaining PG/VG/nicotine ratios. They can't handle it.

>>106114194
yep. The reusable/refillable vapes were quite an investment (around 100 bucks) for a 13 year old. these disposable ones are about 12 bucks
>>106114225
also this

The worst part is that big tobacco lobbied and made refillable vapes illegal in some countries, and the sale of e-juice as well. All the arguments they had about nicotine poisoning and kids vaping blueberry bubblegum now apply to disposable vapes instead. Which are owned by big tobacco btw

>>106114225
That and none of my local vape stores carry coils for the tank I have. Every time they burn out I have to get new ones online. So for about a year now I have been raping disposable vapes into the ground.

>>106114296
Just get a spool of nichrome wire and make your own.

>>106114257
Also the whole "vaping dangerous metals" thing is a complete non-issue in rebuildables. These geek bars I'm not so sure, but big tobacco has been lying for years about the rebuildables having "dangerous metals."

>>106114303
I have a few burnt out disposables and soldering gun. Now that I know what kind of coil wire to get I can probably nigger-rig something nice together. Granted I don't know shit about making circuits or wiring because zoomer.

>>106114320
I don't know if these use pods or what, but my boomer-ass is thinking of those sub ohm cloud machines I guess. I paid about 75 bucks for a 50W kit with an RTA where I wound my own coils on for a while

bottom line is anyway that big tobacco fucked everyone over once again

>>106114320
These are worse though, they don't cost much but the pods cost more than most coils for an actual tank.

what's your favorite disposable?

>>106114360
>disposable
We all know Cindy reuses that one

>>106114353
They're the middle between disposables and RDA/RTAs. Much better and less expensive than buying an entire vape and throwing it away later.

>>106114353
You can refill some of the pod systems fairly easily and get more life out of them until the cotton gets burnt.

Common use of synthethic polymer. This is the cause of so many issues, it should be restricted even though life would be expensive as hell and it also is the reason we haven't nuked each other for decades. Plastic contamination and microplastics are going to fuck us in the next couple of decades, quality of products has been excused with the cheap manufacture process of polymer injection.
Polymer use cases should be restricted and recycling and proper destruction enforced, it's too late.

>>106114717
It's already to late, there is enough microplastics in the ocean that it has entered the human food supply through fish and soil. I am pretty sure it has reached the point where all men alive now have microplastics inside their testicles.

Yeah, all those 17-year-olds using chew.

>>106115731
I'm not talking about chewing tobacco. I am talking about cigarettes.
"Back in my day", there was no vapes but tons of kids would smoke cigarettes at break time at school. Exactly because "it was cool". By no means this is vape exclusive behavior.
On the other hand, vaping helped many people to get off cigarettes so it was an improvement in my opinion.

>>106116183
I know I was being facetious. The usage and mainstreaming of vaporizers far exceeds the usage of cigarettes by underage people, attributed mainly to the candy-like flavors and the actual legality.

>>106116201
>actual legality.
Nicotine vapes are 18+ here.

>candy-like flavors
Favored cigarettes used to be very popular back then too.

>>106116232
Yes, and cigarettes are 21+. It's much easier to get a vaporizer than it is to get cigarettes as an underage person. Nothing I said was incorrect.

>>106114915
>we're getting close to 100% of Earth's human population having been exposed to microplastics
it will never be linked to anything because as you pointed out, we no longer have a control group.

>>106116244
>Yes, and cigarettes are 21+.
18+ here.
If you can get vapes more easily than cigarettes then it sounds like the problem is with your local laws.

I don't think it is a common in the world to have one form of nicotine be 18+ and other 21+. AFAIK, it's 18+ in most of the places in the world.

No, obviously not, which is why we're talking about microplastics NOW and not in the 1940's when the mass production of plastics was starting to kick off. How much longer do you think we'll have to wait for the actual effects to start?

A waste.. of what? You people keep using this word but I don't think you know what it means. It was created with two purposes and it served both.
You got a consumable product and someone made money on it. A lot of people actually, from the drillers, to the distillers, to the industrial engineers, the button pressers, and the MBAs and accountants running it. Huge amounts of capital generated.. but it got thrown in the trash afterwards, so it's "wasted" by your 1 dimensional view of economics.

Get a box mod and a rebuildable tank atomizer then learn to build coils. Start with a blaze solo atomizer it's easy to build and wick. You can either buy a kit with the tools for coil building or build your own kit. Then you just buy a spool of kanthal or nichrome wire to wrap into coils, and Japanese organic cotton for your wicks. Use a coil calculator to tell you how many wraps to hit the ohms you want. For wicks I use 13 foot amoza cotton rope, cut some off, split it in half and you got two wicks.

This makes your coils insanely cheap to build. Coils last months so a spool of wire will last forever and I replace cotton like once a week. Then the majority of your money is spent on bottles of vape juice.

If you are lazy you could just get a sub ohm tank like the itank t with proprietary coils, but then you are looking at like $12 per box of 5 of those. It's a scam with how cheap/easy it is to do yourself once you get it figured out.

Low energy density compared to normal cars

Battery tech is worse for the environment than just using oil because watching carbon emissions is a meme. Oil is not scarce and it does renew itself. Our role in nature is to free the carbon that's bound to the soil while plants do the opposite.
Power delivery is inherently lossy. At transformers, at inverters etc.

Vaping would die out in a couple of years if they killed the branding element.

I used to smoke cigarettes, then switched to reusable vapes like Vaporesso. I used the regular 50/50 nic salt juice. I don't know what they put in that shit (probably the nic salts, they have a stronger nic kick), but I noticed it caused my blood pressure to raise slightly. My normal BP is 100/70, but with vapes it was 120/80. Weird. Switched vack to regular cigs and now my BP is back to normal. I still plan to quit smoking alltogether. I really regret starting this nasty habit.

Good on you. My mother died a few years ago from lung cancer from cigarettes. I sincerely wish you the best in your quitting journey. It really is a nasty habit, and people don't look too far into the future besides their own pleasure. At least you have a good head on your shoulders and are trying to improve. Good luck.

Everything in excess is bad, people who vape usually do thinking it's like a cigarette (a thing you have to smoke before it burns out) that never runs out, so they fill their lungs 24/7 with vapor and eventually get sick; if you take a puff every now and then you'll be fine. Vaping helps you fill that oral fixation need to have something in your mouth (heh) and most have some nicotine so you don't quit cold turkey, plus it doesn't have tar, arsenic, formaldehyde, etc.
All in all, far better than smoking actual fags, but not 100% risk free

EVs burn through tires much faster, and you'll have a nice catch up expense when it's time to replace the battery. You may still be at a net savings over ICE but that doesn't even matter, because needing 30+ minutes to recharge your car on a road trip is straight retarded, especially in the summer (or winter if you get snow). You can fill an ICE car in 4 minutes and have 400 miles on tap ready to go. Who cares about the money, what's your time worth? But it's your life anon buy what you want

>>106124224
Nicotine has a lot of nootropic effects, also most supercentenarians are avid smokers. The real issue is that the tobacco industry started to cut cigarettes with a bunch of toxic substances which makes them more addictive and very toxic. A lot of the tobacco industry also owns a lot of vaping companies and disposables are also filled with a lot of the same toxic stuff.

>>106123318
>or living in bumfuck where there are no chargers
anon, 99% of geographical america is "bumfuck nowhere". I live in Oregon and there's places here where it's difficult to get even gas after midnight. EV owners basically have to plot their entire trip in advance, and if any of the chargers aren't available, they're basically fucked.

>most people don't do 300+ miles per day so they just charge at home anyway
it doesn't really matter that most people don't, it's that they are instantly limited to that range. 60-100 mile commute for work isn't uncommon, so that's already half the range gone right there. On just a 110 charger, it would take THIRTY HOURS to charge back to full again.

>>106127305

Yes, I'm sure it's a major problem, but I'm really more interested in how it's even remotely possible to have that many people counted as "illiterate".

>>106120699
>Humans were omnivores before agriculture, y'know.
No, we're a species of carrion eaters.

"It is interesting to note that humans, uniquely among the primates so far considered, appear to have stomach pH values more akin to those of carrion feeders than to those of most carnivores and omnivores. In the absence of good data on the pH of other hominoids, it is difficult to predict when such an acidic environment evolved. Baboons (Papio spp) have been argued to exhibit the most human–like of feeding and foraging strategies in terms of eclectic omnivory, but their stomachs – while considered generally acidic (pH = 3.7) – do not exhibit the extremely low pH seen in modern humans (pH = 1.5). One explanation for such acidity may be that carrion feeding was more important in humans (and more generally hominin) evolution than currently considered to be the case [...]" - ["The Evolution of Stomach Acidity and Its Relevance to the Human Microbiome" (2015)](https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0134116)

>>106127345
Nope to both

>>106128064
You're fucking retarded for several ways.
One, that was only one of the hypotheses they suggested in this paper.
Two, being a carrion eater is not mutually exclusive with being an omnivore.
Three, that you decided to correct someone about this when you don't even know what an omnivore is, apparently.

>bought into the new nicotine marketing
You're addicted to the dopamine hit of nicotine usage. Your body feels pain every time your blood nicotine levels drop below 25% of your post-use peak. You feel "more alert" when vaping because your body can return to "normal" functioning for a short while after you've satisfied your nicotine craving. You've eliminated "all the burnt tobacco additives" but you don't understand all the effects of all the chemical slop the chinks put in your vape, but you don't care because you're blinded by a dependence on nicotine.

>>106127639

Don't forget that parents and tard wranglers use these things as a surrogate parent. With tard wranglers I get it because how is Melvin supposed to speak, but parents?

>It's minorities
Well, I found a map where Congo manages an 81% literacy rate, but on that same map the United States gets 99%, so I can't really use it as evidence here.
Anyway, if we take the earlier claim of 79% literacy rate at face value, saying that "it's minorities" doesn't really answer any of the questions. What do these minorities DO? How do they live? What does it look like if you don't know how to use a smartphone, in a society where owning one is comparable to owning shoes?

>>106130754
They work blue collar jobs where they can work with their hands and there is minimal reading required to get the job done. Or retail, food service. It's not that hard to imagine. What % of medieval europe was literate? Im sure they can read a basic sentence and know how to navigate a phone because its primarily touch based. I dont use IG anymore, but imagine all the people you see in the comments that type words like "tho" "yt pipo" "dey" "fax" and consider that many or most of them aren't typing that way ironically. And sure, you can add whites to the mix, they can be illiterate too whatever

>>106130918
>What % of medieval europe was literate?
It was very low right until the discovery of the printing press, after which it started climbing. They just didn't have anything to read.
>all the people you see in the comments that type words like "tho" "yt pipo" "dey" "fax"
In medieval Europe you'd probably be considered literate even if you couldn't spell. Like, we're still talking about people who communicate with written language, even if they're really bad at it.
That does basically explain the 21% figure though. It's just measured with a stricter limit for what's considered "literate".

>>106131071
yeah I'm sure it has to do with how they define "illiterate". In my head, and my impression after going to public school in the US and taking the standardized testing, it's more like being able to read through a chapter of an easy book without rage quitting, not just knowing all the letters of the alphabet. people don't have much reason to read anymore unfortunately. you can basically get by with words. I can't read most kanji, but I can get through a day in Japan with decent speaking skills and motioning to things.

Also, for illegals from south america, many don't bother learning English at all, or only get up to basic spoken. And most come from the poorer/more rural areas in their original countries, so that's a big chunk of the country and probably a big chunk of the statistic. Which brings me back to my original point, and is supported by the pic's list of the 3 states with lowest literacy, NM, LA, and MS, which all have high hispanic or black demographics. Conversely, the states with the highest literacy have relatively high white %. Maryland is a bit of an outlier I guess, good for them

my stupid gay lame state government banned these. at least we still have kratom.

1. It is very likely to be.
2. Yes, if you have nicotine. Vapes can put more nicotine into your body than cigarettes at a given time.
3. You would have to buy liquid/nicotine/flavor/coils.

Still better than cigarettes one would imagine. Problem is if you have no self control, suddenly you're hooked 24/7.
