I'm getting troll vibes, but I'll bite lol. Fusion reactions are the exception since you're turning some mass into energy according to:

E = mc^2

There's many quality videos on YouTube that can provide a better explanation than I ever could.

Thanks for all the info. That's a generous offer too. Take care!

On the point about why they didn't use cows instead of humans as an energy source. I think I've read that in the original conception of the Matrix, the humans' brains were meant to be used for computation for the machines, rather than the humans being energy sources. This was changed since computers were new to the general public in 1999 and it was believed the concept would be too confusing.

That would be in the same spirit as the system of government in ancient Athens. Common people being chosen by lottery to have a seat in governement. From the little I know on the subject, I always thought it seemed like a really solid democratic system.

That's interesting, thanks for that explanantion. I definitely feel like being glued to my desk is something I'd like to avoid.

Maybe I'll consider moving to Germany now, that could be a whole other adventure.

Thanks for the advice. If I change directions I'm leaning towards something in the realm of IT or electronics technician work. I'd like something with some sort of physical or at least hands on component, or something gameified like you deacribe with closing tickets.

Thanks for the reply, that's interesting. I've been on some construction sites and scaffolders definitely earn their pay. From experience, I think work with a physical component is easier to stay focused on, at least for me.

Could you share what that trade is, even vaguely? I'm curious what kind of job might be suited for someone with ADHD symptoms. I feel it might help me choose a career. No worries if not, and have a good one!

Otherwise known as the C-suite executives. CEO, CTO, CFO, ect...

As a fairly longtime lurker on Reddit now bought into Lemmy, I'm making it a resolution to break that habit and post/comment more. Thanks for the PSA!

So true. I find it so disheartening seeing century old images of Canadian cities with street cars. I've even seen photos of small towns in New Brunswick that had street cars. Not only is it possible to do proper public transit nowadays, we could have had it all along.
