6·8 months agoNext, let me sum up how to pull off this scam. First, buy a couple of commercial dehumidifiers. Next, put the equipment inside them into new, cool-looking equipment boxes. Third, call news stations saying you’ve solved water forever.
This tech is just a reskinned dehumidifier. The scientist Youtuber Thunderf00t has made a number of videos debunking these types of claims. Their issues can be summed up as the following:
- they extract very little water while using a shitton of energy. The amount of energy required to condense water from gas into liquid equals the amount of energy required to boil said water, which is a lot. This is dictated by the laws of physics.
- they work best in humid conditions. These conditions only exist in places where you would ALREADY be able to find water, or when it is right about to rain ( as the natural humidity condenses to form rain clouds), in which case you can just catch and drink that.
- the water they produce is not clean. Do you want to drink the moldy water out of your dehumidifier? Model and bacteria grow on the cold, wet metal fins where the water condenses.
This is great progress! IDK if they should take the Apple closed ecosystem route or eventually go open source and compete with Android.
The issue is that dollars do not make weapons via alchemy, Europe spent shittons of money on of artillery shells to Ukraine, just to raise the price of existing shells without making any more new ones.
I believe China had a number of world’s fastest supercomputers in the Top 500 list before, and probably has the world’s fastest supercomputers right now. They stopped posting them on the list because they got tired of the West freaking out and sanctioning every time they built a bigger one.
For milder forms of autism, treatment should be left up to the person and definitely isn’t necessary.
However, I also know people who have extremely severe forms of autism, which are debilitating and require 24/7 care, for which such a treatment would be a godsend.

Good stuff. This video raised a debate on r/TheDeprogram over GDF’S supposed ‘antisemitism’ based on his comment section.
I don’t really see anything particularly antisemitic with the video though. GDF’s overall argument is that, while today the USA wholeheartedly backs Israel because the relationship is mutually beneficial, early in Israel’s existence this was much murkier. Thus there was a need for the Zionist lobby to forcefully align US interests with those of Israel.
