Sigh... we have global warming. Why do you waste CO2 for pointless things?

What CO2 is a Game Boy producing?

You could maybe argue that mining Bitcoin using power hungry hardware in a country with a poor track record of green energy (eg USA) isn’t great for the planet.

But a Game Boy? More energy is wasted doing just about anything else.

He must be joking. It's inappropriate for this site anyway though.
