    I am terrible at explaining things and probably deserve the downvotes. If I thought they mattered I might try harder.

    But I have noticed if you gap some context the Fediverse/Lemmy exposes itself. So in this instance the they need to be spoon fed “energy is energy” yea no thanks. This stopped being about changing their opinion and instead about reinforcing to myself that these NPC’s cannot be allowed to inform my opinion.

      Some also hate my explanation too, they probably think if you put heat into water, it stays there for perpetuity.

      Deserts are a great example of what happens when there’s barely any (greenhouse gas) water in the atmosphere.

      You say you’re bad at explaining things, but I think you did a decent job explaining Lemmy culture. If you go against certain dogma — even if you’re right — you’ll catch a lot of unexplained, seemingly-irrational, downvotes.

      I’m not much of a social media guy, so when I first joined Lemmy, I found this confusing. I suppose I still do, but I just accept it and move on. That’s just how it is here.

      I’d bet that this comment will be mostly downvoted. However, after posting it, I will spend exactly zero seconds worrying or wondering about it 🙂
