Can shit be a meaning to life?
saradina-info-blog on 11.03.2026 um 10:35 (UTC) |
| | In recent times, there has been recurring discussion about how bad it would be if robots could take jobs away from people.
Aside from the fact that this somewhat perverse thing is already underway and can no longer be stopped, these discussions are interestingly not just about money, but also about the so-called meaning of life.
It is simply assumed that people will no longer find meaning in life if no slave drivers take pity on them and graciously provide them with employment so that they have something to do.
This strange idea is repeated again and again like a mantra, as if it were some kind of irrefutable truth. Wage labor not only serves to make a living (if the pay is sufficient), but is above all meaningful; after all, what else are these poor souls supposed to do for 45 years of their lives?
This was also the view of a slick, highly paid television presenter on public television.
He said, not without a whiny undertone, that he simply couldn't understand why some people don't like going to work.
What would he say to an exploited cleaning woman who has to scrub strangers' shit out of public toilets for hours – and doesn't even receive the minimum wage due to insufficient time limits?
Or what about the exploited newspaper deliverers who have to lug mountains of heavy newspapers in rain and snow and are cheated out of their minimum wage by insufficient time limits?
What does the slick, ridiculously overpaid TV presenter have to say about the hordes of exploited people?
Can this shit possibly give meaning to life? | | | |

#Lead in #drinking #water
saradina-info-blog on 27.02.2026 um 08:40 (UTC) |
| | Lead is toxic, and old lead water pipes carried this poisonous substance into the drinking water.
Fortunately, at considerable expense and time, the lead water pipes were removed and replaced with more environmentally friendly ones.
One might think that's something to celebrate!
But here's the kicker: While everyone is happy to have finally removed the lead from the drinking water, new, sleek fully automatic coffee machines are now on the market with lead grinders.
How could anyone possibly use lead in food technology, especially in the preparation of a beverage as popular and frequently consumed as coffee?
In short: Lead water pipes were replaced at great expense and time. And now we enjoy lead-contaminated coffee from sleek new fully automatic coffee machines. Cheers! | | | |

#Resource #conservation - #fur instead of #clothing?
saradina-info-blog on 08.02.2026 um 08:56 (UTC) |
| | Clothing production consumes vast amounts of resources. Drinking water, in particular, is consumed in enormous quantities.
Furthermore, the ever-increasing number of clothing styles created by fashion companies is becoming a form of social dictate and a label for income groups.
How practical would it be if humans had fur as beautiful and functional as, for example, a cat's?
Large amounts of environmental pollution and financial stigmatization would be eliminated.
Wouldn't that be an interesting field for future genetic research?
However, in such a genetic engineering project, it is essential to ensure that no atavism occurs.
That is, the genetic modification must not lead to the activation of genes that originate from a distant stage of human evolutionary history, such as those of an ancient hominid.
If these things are taken into account, it is certainly a worthwhile project for genetic engineering. | | | |

#Electric cars - #batteries are far too heavy
saradina-info-blog on 04.02.2026 um 09:12 (UTC) |
| | People are constantly being pressured to buy an electric car. Electric cars are supposed to help save the climate, among other things.
But how ready are these designs for everyday use?
A major weakness is the batteries.
Apart from the fact that the raw materials for the batteries are sometimes extracted under very peculiar conditions, the batteries are simply too heavy and too large.
The huge batteries increase the car's size without adding any storage space.
Furthermore, electric cars take up a lot of space on the roads due to their batteries.
But the biggest problem is the extremely high weight.
Because of the high weight, a large portion of the energy supplied by the batteries is used simply for transporting them. That's not economical.
Furthermore, the heavy electric cars cause a great deal of abrasion on the roads, thus accelerating their wear and tear.
From this perspective, electric cars appear to be technically immature.
The most important goal for the future is to invent significantly smaller and more powerful batteries.
To this end, collaborative research across borders is essential, as the invention and production of these new and improved batteries will represent major global progress—for the environment as well as for the economy.

#Shepherds, #lambs and #sheep
saradina-info-blog on 18.01.2026 um 09:01 (UTC) |
| | You often hear young people say they can't know this or that because it's "before their time."
This statement is often not without a touch of coquetry, since youth is a kind of modern-day badge of nobility—albeit a fleeting one.
Older people usually react with understanding, not without a certain reverence for the young life that has only existed for such a short time and therefore certainly doesn't need to know what happened before their own. These young people see themselves as lambs, pure and spotless, and free from all the vices of the past.
But as with every beautiful apple, there's a worm in it.
Aren't these young people like the lambs in a flock?
How glad the shepherd must be that today's lambs don't know that yesterday's sheep were sold to the butcher! | | | |

#Melatonin - a fountain of #youth?
saradina-info-blog on 10.01.2026 um 21:59 (UTC) |
| | A long life. Many dream of it. But what good is a long lifespan if health and physical youth quickly fade?
There is an interesting clue from vegetable research on this topic.
Researchers injected melatonin into the stalk of an Asian cabbage variety.
This helped the cabbage stay fresh and last longer, much to the delight of greengrocers.
This effect was explained by the fact that melatonin slows down the metabolism and thus delays aging processes, so that the cabbage stays fresh and has a longer shelf life and can therefore be sold for a longer period.
Melatonin is a substance that also has an effect on humans.
This raises the question of whether regular melatonin supplementation also helps people stay fresh and vibrant for longer.
This is particularly interesting considering that melatonin production decreases, especially in older people. | | | |
