Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

Okay but can we compare them with trains first.
Sure! What trains deliver goods across oceans? Or between distant continents?
Oh are we not just measuring distance? Because I don't see any trucks crossing the ocean either.
They beat trains. In fact all forms of goods tranports exponentially.
Doesn't mean they don't pollute, but ...at least you get something out of it? When American stop buying cheap Chinese shit and Chinese stop buying cheap oil from the Gulf, and when everyone stops buying produce out of season locally ...you see where I'm going with this.
And that's on top of cargo ships using the nastiest fuel IIRC.
Yup, that they do. Even what it's pegged to for hedging - home heating oil on the Nymex - is somewhat cleaner.
