Wow thanks for that info, I wasn’t aware of aluminum is infinitely recyclable!

They evolved in the sea to escape the coming of Lenin.

Establish recycling centers at their own expense where they pay the consumer (or municipalities as a whole) to bring their plastic bottles back. If they pay something - even a cent per bottle, there would be a huge incentive to collect bottles and return them, as they are produced in such huge numbers.

As it is right now, companies justify the massive amounts of plastic they produce by saying "Hey, it can all be recycled! We're basically making no waste at all." Understanding all the way that certain types of plastics cannot easily be recycled - maybe your city recycles that kind and maybe not.

The idea is to make companies pay for the clean up of their products one way or another, particularly when they produce single use items.

Meh, Catholic church does the same thing. Not "godhood" per se, but closer though. What's a patron saint but a god of [blank]?

They made millions off her!

wow. no second tests? no "chance of false positive" options?

That's so sketchy

Just like my favorite fish men in D&D, the Kuo-Toa. If enough of them believe in a god, it manifests as an entity. The best part is canonically they lean towards inanimate objects to be their god.

“One of the most revered gods of the kuo-toa is Blibdoolpoolp the Sea Mother, who takes the form of a female human with a crayfish head, a crayfish’s claws, and an articulated shell covering her shoulders. Blibdoolpoolp was likely invented by a kuo-toa that improved on a broken human statue by adding the limbs and head of a crustacean. In sudden awe of its handiwork, it then named the resulting form a god.”

Several.

Might have been too hard to prove that it was the food at the time. Or maybe the persons that got canned really were using something that would show on the test anyway. Who knows.

Less that 30% of plastic bottles are "recycled" in the US, but technically most of them are "downcycled", which means they are being turned into lower quality forms of plastic. The idea of an infinite loop plastic recycling is a myth because unlike metal, plastic loses quality every time it is processed until it is unusable.

Single serving plastic bottles should be almost entirely replaced with aluminum cans, which are infinitely recyclable.

>Did he achieve CHIM?

Yes

>You have suffered for me to win this throne, and I see how you hate jungle. Let me show you the power of Talos Stormcrown, born of the North, where my breath is long winter. I breathe now, in royalty, and reshape this land which is mine. I do this for you, Red Legions, for I love you.

From The Many-Headed Talos

Also:

>CHIM. Those who know it can reshape the land. Witness the home of the Red King Once Jungled

From the Mythic Dawn commentaries Vol. 3

As to what the nature of godhood, Talos' own godhood, its relation with the "planets" and CHIM vs "true" godhood; well, we just don't have a simple definitive answer

Also, we don't know how or who did it for Talos to ascend

So basically, you become a god if you get enough likes. Some things never change.

>most scholars agree that the Greeks and Romans got round their lack of punctuation by murmuring aloud as they read through texts of all kinds.

As if people reading aloud wouldn't be bad enough, these were people murmuring aloud. I get it that you wouldn't be surrounded by people like you would be in a crowded elevator, but still, murmuring?

Basically, apotheosis caused by realizing the true nature of the Elder Scrolls universe and simultaneously having a sense of self strong enough to not get retconned out of existence by the knowledge

We’re good at taking the smart people from other countries

The Elder Scrolls version of apotheosis.

They also retconned the Old Gods as Saints

Learned this from Amazing Cultivation Simulator

What is CHIM?

Username checks out

In American Gods? Yes. In reality? Also yes.

Those guys were born half gods and stayed half god though.

Here’s the per capita figures. Try guessing the top three before clicking the link!

>During a regime change, he got ousted and exiled and died in shame. After his death, a bunch of calamities befell the government, leading people to believe that Michizane's vengeful spirit was cursing them

wait, I'm pretty sure I've read this story a on /r/sysadmin. It's good to know this problem is older than computers.
