if anyone can show me math that demonstrates on average how many fart jars (including jar costs and shipping) it takes to equal the environmental impact of one (1) NFT, I will draw them an art

@kat i'm not sure you can really measure that because the environmental impact isn't the nft's existence, but the transactions involving it

@kat so its total impact goes up every time it's bought or sold

long, calculations 

@kat HOWEVER, the environmental impact of shipping one mason jar (6 oz) by air mail is approximately 74 mg of CO₂, plus a bit for packaging materials let's call it 100 mg of CO₂ (source 1 source 2 (i suspect source 2 is somewhat unreliable but it's the best i have))

whereas a single transaction involving an NFT appears to have a carbon footprint of approximately 40 kg of CO₂ (source)

so it would take about 400000 fart jars, all mailed by air mail, to have an equal impact as a single nft transaction, and i cannot believe we just wrote that sentence

@Felthry aight fuck it you win, that’s some damn good fart science

what do you want me to sketch for you

@kat uhhh i have no idea

i've been being this lately if you feel like drawing a relaxed multimustelid? i need some relaxation lately (art by @/chr@scalie.business)

Follow

@kat is that a problem? i just, like multi stuff >.>
-F

@Felthry it’s a lot more drawing than I was really prepared to do haha

@kat ahah, almost anything i want is going to be real multi though, i don't want to force that on you if you don't want to
-F

@Felthry sorry about that, I like drawing that stuff usually but I’m on a real narrow spoon budget today haha

@kat completely understandable, we're always on a low spoon budget lately
-F

@kat if you feel like doing it another day, go for it! if not, that's fine too
