I wonder how much co2 you use to get through the day, and how much you use to remark on other people's creations in a way that suggests you disapprove of their utilization of their available resources. How much co2 do your projects emit, since you seem to be interested in those metrics?

I strongly suspect one HN post (or two now) is not even in the same ballpark. I could ask Claude to figure it out but that would be a complete waste of time and energy. ;)

This has given me a great idea: I have a modest proposal on how to reduce net CO2 emissions while not reducing token consumption at all

USE carbon dioxide to get through the day? What?! We're not plants!

I assure you that if your body did not emit co2 throughout the day you would not continue metabolic processes for an especially long period.

What a terrible thing to say to human! Being (presumably) human, it is their inalienable, natural-born right to do so.

Shame on you.
