0·23 hours agoElon Musk’s original pitch for the underground hyperloop system / boring company included the claim that the dug out dirt would be repurposed as super building bricks, and that this would keep the projects at or under budget.

He literally did this, sold reformed, shitty dirt and called it a miraculous building material.
life on earth would cease to exist quite quickly
This was the first thought that came to my mind on seeing this post.
For starters, basicaly most (all?) land based plants are fucked, they can no longer internally hydrate, also water in soil behaves totally differently, so …yeah.
(oh on that note, snap your fingers and water has 0 surface tension? time for a lot of landslides/sinkholes in humid areas)
Then you’ve got beings with active circulatory systems, who… may to some extent be able to live, but lots of pulmonary / circulatory problems are gonna happen.
I guess maybe totally waterborne life could survive, maybe… but 0 surface tension of water probably changes how salinity works…
Yeah, this would be very bad, lol.

Why not?
The economy is crashing, we’ll just return to our Wild West roots, with a modern twist.
Not robberies of people, of course, the vast majority of American rail transit is logistics, moving stuff.
Why rip the copper wires out of an abandoned house or office when you could just get some guys with pickup trucks and get it from the source?
There isn’t.
Most of the job listings are just fake.
The rest are nepotism hires, or a ‘who can grovel and impress a narcissist the most’ contests.
Its time to invent or participate in an alternate or parellel economy, the ‘real’ one does not work.
A malignant narcissist never lives in reality anyway, this just becomes more apparent with age.
EDIT:
Well, the first half of that isn’t totally true, if they can grow a sufficient cult of personality, turn a good chunk of the world into a sycophantic hugbox for them.
These usually collapse as they go truly senile or incredibly delusional… or they functionally become the figurehead of a persistent cult or religion.
