Yes, thank you for explaining the joke to us.

I think the issue on this instance is that the original is bringing up America's racism as a way to dismiss their own.

What's the point of living if I can't be petty?

Resources like gold would be more accessible, y'know because it already been mined and made into things. If society collapses what few survivors there are could recycle shit like metals. The actual issue is fossil fuels. Getting to a point where you can use renewable power would be difficult with using fossil fuels for power first.

Yeah, if you ignore the massive price difference and the fact that they need to be replaced periodically because rechargeable batteries usually only last a few years at most.

You just made it seem much more appealing.

That's a fair reaction to the state tbh

These "silly teen things" could have very well ended with themselves or someone else dead.

Nah, screw that. I'm here for pointless petty arguments.

For someone who calls Christians hate-mongering, you're pretty hateful yourself.

Childcare educator, a large amount of people suddenly wouldn't be able to work because they have no one to watch their children.

I work in a childcare centre which has a capacity of about 70 children on the busiest days. It's not that loud. And children don't often just scream for no reason. It happens of course, but they don't just stand around screaming at the top of their lungs. And when they do decide on screaming or there's a dispute generally there's an educator to sort it out. You sound really out of touch.
