Not every country is the same as the US. Other countries' conservatives aren't necessarily the same as yours. Sometimes conservatives and left-wing parties even work together to solve issues.

No, an average German speaker from Germany wouldn't understand it. It's basically an extremely heavy German dialect, belonging to the group of Allemanic German dialects. Non intelligible dialects are not uncommon in many parts of Germany, though. In some German regions (e.g. southern Black Forest), the local dialects also belong to the group of Allemanic dialects. The locals from there might have a somewhat easier time getting used to Swiss German dialect varieties.

Isn't this rather a Windows meme? Since I started using Linux, I slowly grew into a 10-year-old-laptop-enjoyer thanks to XFCE and the likes 😅

To be honest, I'm pretty sure that it's the other way around.

Or maybe the problem is that too many of us give more value to science instead of just believing in what we experience ourselves,

That sounds exactly like something a human made climate change denier would say after they happened to experience two consecutive cold winters in their area. I'd rather have them giving more value to science.

How about updating the constitution to solve this specific problem, which is quite significant for the populace? After all, it's the constitution's job to serve the people.

Problem about very old vacuums, they sometimes have extremely wasteful wattages (read: in the ballpark of 2000 Watts), while modern ones often use a maximum of e.g. 800 Watts. The high Wattage comes with almost no measurable performance advantage. Source: An article in the partly state-funded German product testing magazine Stiftung Warentest.

Almost nothing in your household consumes as much energy as an oven. Ovens consume from around 1000 (when already heated up) to 5000 Watts leading to ginormous amounts of carbon emissions on your average electricity mix. From an environmental perspective it's completely crazy to bake your trash for 30 to 40 minutes (it's like running your electric kettle at full power for 30 minutes straight). I'd rather not compost eggshells at all rather than baking them.

Try to do better than the average human: Try minimizing your personal footprint, participate in some nature related NGO, etc.

Only by acting can we escape this feeling of depression and discouragement 💪.

Isn't the point of a 15 minute city that you can get anywhere within 15 minutes without a car?

(By the way, from a European standpoint it sounds really funny that 15 minute cities are not a reality for you. Like, why would you ever build a city differently in the first place?)

Yes, this is important, too (see !nolawns@slrpnk.net). But no-lawns doesn't reduce car traffic, neither does it single-handedly create more walkable and public-transport-friendly communities. But you're right to notice that OP's meme doesn't make a compelling argument in itself.
