Laurens Hofabsolutely wild that the news that dutch gas prices rose by 30% in a single day did not even manage to crack the top 5 most read stories
like, how? how did we fuck up our information ecosystem this badly?
fucking losing my mind
like have we lost our connection with physical reality that much that we cannot even process anymore what a single-day 30% rise in gas prices means?
Leon Overweel@laurenshof luckily consumers are not directly exposed to day-to-day swings of gas prices. If this settles down in the next few weeks, the impact will be limited compared to e.g. the 2022 gas crisis. So I don't think you need to be losing your mind :)
@leonoverweel there is a tiny bit of difference between day-to-day gas price swings vs asian countries are now all hoarding fuel, our main energy supplier in qatar has turned off production completely and around 16% of global energy supply simply disappeared
@laurenshof of course but there’s also a difference between whether that’s the case for two weeks or six months. Since we don’t know that it’ll be the latter, I don’t think the general populace needs to panic.
