Kabul could become the first modern city to completely run out of water, experts have warned. Water levels within Kabul’s aquifers have dropped by up to 30 metres over the past decade owing to rapid urbanisation and climate breakdown, according to a report by the NGO Mercy Corps. Meanwhile, almost half of the city’s boreholes – the primary source of drinking water for Kabul residents – have dried out. Water extraction currently exceeds the natural recharge rate by 44m cubic metres each year. If these trends continue, all of Kabul’s aquifers will run dry as early as 2030, posing an existential threat to the city’s seven million inhabitants.

Water access has become a daily battle for people in Kabul. Some households spend up to 30% of their income on water, and more than two-thirds have incurred water-related debt. “Afghanistan is facing a lot of problems, but this water scarcity is one of the hardest,” said Nazifa, a teacher living in the Khair Khana neighbourhood of Kabul. “Every household is facing difficulty, especially those with low income. Adequate, good quality well water just doesn’t exist.” Some private companies are capitalising on the crisis by actively digging new wells and extracting large amounts of public groundwater, then selling it back to city’s residents at inflated prices.

Is real fur or faux fur worse for the environment? Why, that depends on where your funding comes from.

This is a very cursory dive into the top “sources” that “answer” whether real or faux fur is better for the environment. My guess is we’ll never have a simple, unbiased answer.

"Average person has 3 sons named after self" actually just statistical error. Spiders Georg Foreman, who lives at a grill expo and has 1000 sons named Georg Foreman, is an outlier and should not have been counted

attempt at viral FB post/instagram captuon to go with the images, free to share:when I was a kid there was a popular kind of post circulating on the internet that went, if you don't share this post with five of your friends right now, a child will DIE. And everyone knew that it was stupid, that it wasn't real, but I think a lot of us shared them anyway, because, you know, better safe than sorry. well, this one's real.the US government program PEPFAR prevents 1,400 babies from being born infected with HIV every DAY. Right now most of its grants are on hold and most of its clinics shuttered, because of the State Department freeze on global aid. The freeze was meant to exclude lifesaving aid. It was meant to exclude PEPFAR. But the clinics are still closed, because the government is moving too fast and too carelessly to keep our most crucial global programs functioning. When a group of independent journalists, economists and policy experts got together to estimate the lives saved by PEPFAR - and the lives that will be lost if it stays shut down - we estimated 1 million more people will die every year. What would you do to stop a million people from dying? Would you forward this to five friends? Would you show up at our rally on Friday, March 7th at 12pm at the Foggy Bottom Metro Station in DC? Would you call your Congressman?If you would do any of those things to stop a million people from dying, you should do them right now. See you Friday.

entering this great new phase of my life where, when someone treats me like shit, instead of going "oh man I guess I'm a piece of shit" I can whole-heartedly go "christ alive, what is wrong with you? you can't treat people like that" and it may sound simple but it took a long time to get here and there's no fucking way I'm going back

Helpful tip when talking to rationalist types: sometimes they don't want to know the answer to a question; doing back-of-the-envelope speculation is the point of posing a question and actually having a factual answer ruins the fun I guess

biggest mindfuck is the fact that it can be so so difficult to tell the difference between when it's time for "do it bored/scared/stupid but by jove just do it" and when it's time for "if it sucks hit the bricks"

Who even invented Vegans?

They took their inspiration from the ethical parable "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelettes" by Ursula K. Egguin.
