we don’t save trash and newspapers.

Newspapers are great for cleaning window glass and mirrors without making stripes like cloth often does, though.

In Eternity (the app I use to browse Lemmy), the sidebar is equivalent to the “About” tab of a community.

I’m not the same person, but it seems like you’re right. Pound (lb) is a unit for measuring mass. The same is true for kilogram. This actually surprises me to some degree, since it had not been clarified like this to me earlier:

In common usage, the mass of an object is often referred to as its weight, though these are in fact different concepts and quantities. Nevertheless, one object will always weigh more than another with less mass if both are subject to the same gravity (i.e. the same gravitational field strength).

…

Because mass and weight are separate quantities, they have different units of measure. In the International System of Units (SI), the kilogram is the basic unit of mass, and the newton is the basic unit of force. The non-SI kilogram-force is also a unit of force typically used in the measure of weight. Similarly, the avoirdupois pound, used in both the Imperial system and U.S. customary units, is a unit of mass, and its related unit of force is the pound-force.

I think we’re probably confused of this because in common usage, we’ll ask “how much does it weigh” and expect to get an answer in the unit of mass instead of force, just because the mass of the object defines the amount of force it will have in some given gravity condition.

Now, this is interesting!

Seawater contains 230 billion tons of lithium, compared to just 21 million tons in conventional land-based reserves. Lihytech estimates that extracting just 0.1 per cent of all lithium from seawater would be enough to meet humanity’s technology needs.

Logic. Most people have two eyes. No people (AFAIK) have three or more. Some people have one or zero. That draws the average number down to less than two, making the normal number of eyes higher than the average number.
