    I need to actually do some math but I have a terrifying suspicion that if we convinced every collector of funko pops to switch to being really into NFTs it might reduce over all carbon emissions. That does not make NFTs less dumb it's just a bad thought I've had

    EDIT: I did the math! I found papers on CO2 output and everything! And an NFT still produces >25 times as much CO2 over its lifetime as a fucking funko pop, a literal hunk of useless plastic!

    EDIT 2: I did more math! The factor might be as low as 15 but still

      All that energy wasted on some stupid meme fad. The internet is the millennial/zoomer equivalent of lead poisoning.

      Sounds like all these "freedumz" aren't very efficient.
