Reply to Study finds that methane creates cooling clouds that offset 30% of the heat, which means methane has a lower effect on climate change than previously thought by Theranosissus

So as Benjamin Franklin said, fart proudly!

Beneath the sweater, he probably is wearing a "Robespierre was right" t-shirt.

I tend to assume most pop stars do not write their own music without help.

I will risk ire by saying I even think "Wrecking Ball" is a beautiful song, and that Miley's singing on it is just fine; it's almost sad that these qualities have been totally overshadowed by how corny its music video was. Miley pretty much went from one cringeworthy image to another with very little grace period between, but she's never been a bad singer.

Yeah, and I believe that one got some actual airplay but I only recently even learned it was Kesha singing that. A testament to how few people even associate her with good singing.

Reply to TikTok music is a threat by ConfectionStill6109

Let's at least allow that this sort of thing has been said about pretty near every new trend in music. And while many of those trends do produce cringe, they also produce backlash. If there's anything to what you say and there probably is, then someone who feels as you do is also probably making some music to counter those trends. But also, as obnoxiously loud as TikTok is it's probably also still niche. Most people probably don't buy songs because they heard little snippets of them on TikTok, they still buy them because they heard them on the radio, and though I can sort of hear what you're saying with "About Damn Time", why be worried that Lizzo is going to frame her whole career around TikTok when she also has mainstream popularity?
