I would understand working to be accomplishing its stated goal, which is increasing birthrates. I believe there's very limited evidence for that.

Nothing on that linked page implies it works, just that some countries have done it.

I think this is only true for some non intuitive definition of "temperature" of the light source. Fireflies aren't a blackbody radiator, while the sun largely is. You absolutely can use non-equilibrium/non-blackbody light sources to heat something to hotter than the source. For example, lasers can heat something extremely hot while remaining "cool" (unless you're considering the non equilibrium temperature of their excited atoms/electrons, which isn't really fair.)

I believe a bot/site that mirrors reddit subreddits to Lemmy communities. It's anything @lemmit.online

It's pretty trivial for them to block all major instances though, or even all instances federated with all major instances
