Oh, I see. Interesting fun fact :U

@Dirty Bit
 
Or given Rammstein’s habit of writing their lyrics with a double meaning it could alternatively mean “you hate me”, provided “hast” is heard/read as “hasst”.
 
Which would translate to “You hate(s)/detest me”.

@Wertyla
 
I know that, I was just referring to kircher’s comment XD

@Dirty Bit  
Okay… Actually, I wasn’t speaking German when I corrected “hath” to “hast”.
 
The phrase in this picture should read, “Why hast thou forsaken me?”
 
It’s a quote that appears in the Bible.  

@Wertyla
 
@Registered Anon
 
It means ‘You have me’

@Wertyla  
I don’t speak German, but if I read it, I can occasionally make out a word or two.

@kircher  
That looks like German… I don’t speak (or read) German…

@kircher
 
Ich will.  
Ich will.

@Wertyla  
Du.  
Du hast.  
Du hast mich.

*hast

@Eeveeinheat
 
They do.
 
Basically the waste containment wells the industry uses to stuff the waste water and chemicals used in fracking underground can cause the earth to slip and force and Earthquake. Not a very large one, but they can cause cracks in buildings and visible damage and there’s indication they’re growing.

@Greenjack  
The sinkholes I understand, but actual earthquakes? Maybe earthquakes caused by sinkholes, as in just the ground shaking, but not actual plate-tectonic earthquakes.

@AaronMk  
fracking: simultaneously reducing the cost of natural gas, and increasing the likelihood of earthquakes and city-sized sinkholes.
 
also, I recently realized I have a natural gas powered AC and it’s saved us easily over a thousand dollars over the past few years.

Heh heh, it was not that hot. Though you are welcome to come and hide with me at the lake sometime. I will bring sandwiches and board games.

@AaronMk  
Maud plz

@TJPones  
pretty sure electricity is more efficient at the point of use since it’s not generating any waste energy, but getting the electricity down those wires… all the way from the power plant… electricity is pretty wasteful.
 
natural gas you can just pipe around with 0 loss in energy density.

@AaronMk
 
L-Lewd!

@AaronMk  
You didn’t strike me as a sedimentalist.

@kircher
 
I get || rock hard watching the bedrock underneath split open and turn, spewing hot steamy magma up across me, I dream to bask in its hot sensual warmth, feeling one with the primordial rock and I knocked about in Earth’s great vibration. Feeling its warmth on me. No: in me!||

@AaronMk  
My first thought was that “geological unfolding” is almost certainly someone’s fetish. :P

@AaronMk
 
As a Michigander, I can confirm the first part.

@Greenjack
 
I don’t think Michigan is going to suffer any geological unfolding anytime soon.
 
Whether or not they ban fracking is another question though.

@Blissey1  
Ah, well my facts on that were a few years out of date, thanks for the update. But still, that’s one third of the electricity in the US powered by coal ( and more than half of my state’s electricity comes from coal according to something I read last year), and where they’ve replaced it they likely use natural gas instead anyway (seeing as it’s a relatively cheap, bountiful, and low emission fuel) If the machine saves you money/is objectively better at cooling then I’d say go for the gas powered AC unit as long as you’re in a geologically stable region.

@Greenjack  

 
uh, coal only made up 33% of all power in the US in 2015. and it’s dropping quickly year by year.

@TJPones  
considering that in most parts of america electricity is produced with coal, and the oil companies are burning off natural gas due to them currently having a surplus it’s the least wasteful you could possibly be seeing as they’re burning it off regardless.
