Yeah, no need whatsoever to eat cramped too tightly around a table.

I wish it was only useless:(

It’s time to stop thinking a phone should be premium

too many people treat phones like a status symbol

Honestly just be glad you’re not among those misguided and move on.

and the brake pedal in an automatic is the width of both pedals in a manual

Yeah… no.

The clutch would be to the left of both pedals in an automatic. Your foot rests in the empty space left of the brake pedal, usually there’s some kind of footrest roughly where the clutch would be. If anything you’d slam on that rest. Lifting your left foot off that rest (where the clutch you intend to slam would be) to hit the center pedal (which is where the brake is in any car) makes zero sense as a potential mixup. Not to mention it would feel extremely unnatural to operate a pedal so far right with your left foot if you tried.

How could that possibly happen? Do you left-foot-brake?

They are 100% aware

Shit is weird, it was completely offline for a day or two but now I’ve been able to access it via app again for a couple of days, I can even post this from feddit.de. Meanwhile in the browser it appears entirely dead. As if the Lemmy instance is working again but the Apache is down.

This bloke won’t haggle

That is 100% a tick.

Our cities are too old to be build with cars in mind.

Vast parts of the cities I lived in were completely bulldozed to accommodate cars.

That’s the best part, when you meet people of the language you are learning you can say the odd quirky shit from Duolingo and they’ll absolutely love it. What, you are an apple?? A dog is wearing three pullovers?? More relevant for beginners who can say a handful of stuff but can’t yet hold a proper conversation.

It’s not like Duolingo is just randomly generated sentences that make no sense either. They are carefully sprinkled in to break up the routine and make it a bit of fun.

Lmao that was when it was still kinda interesting. You couldn’t possibly imagine how bad seasons 3 to 4 (if memory serves) were if you only know the first episodes.

Bless your grandma and puppy

Initially read high powered lightning and was wondering how advanced filming tech has become, and what for.

That’s the whole point, what good would it be to compare equivalent vehicles, when people don’t drive equivalent vehicles? They drive bigger and heavier vehicles on average, negating efficiency gains of newer vehicles.

This can go either way. I’ve literally been the person declining to watch something as I immediately saw it was some conspiracy nut job piece. Why yes Kevin, I’m sure your pixelated Whatsapp video titled “ever wonder why almost all people in power are Jews?” is a completely normal and factual essay that will totally change my mind.

Coming straight from “unless 100% of people abstain 100% I’m not calling it change”-folks. There’s significant shifts in both of these issues. Meat more so, or leading ahead compared to cars, but the fact that some people aren’t going to drop one or either doesn’t change anything about that.

So maybe efforts to reduce the impact of those kinds of things aren’t necessarily wasted.

Not only are they not wasted, they are absolutely necessary. What’s important to understand is, however, that large parts of the negative impact of cars aren’t affected by EVs at all. It’s not just internal combustion engine exhaust pollution, it’s the waste of space, gigatons of asphalt for roads and parking, microplastics from rubber tires driven endless miles by a billion people, traffic congestions and the never-ending demand for another lane to fix them, ““cities”” sprawling out so far that everything is too far to get to by any means other than driving, pedestrian (if such a thing even still exists in your neck of the woods) safety, noise, socioeconomic factors such as the high upkeep costs vs low-income population who are reliant on a car in a car dependant world, …

We have to transition to EVs either way, but it’s not going to fix anything meaningful. And that’s just the neutral outlook, a real danger we’re facing is that through car manufacturers’ greenwashing that is already in full swing, we coax ourselves to a good eco conscience over our no-emissions cars and continue growing the dependency, which would eventually increase the impact. The only real way of reducing the impact is by reducing cars and car dependency where it’s possible. And people are, very slowly, waking up to the fact that this is more often the case than they were led to believe by lobby driven media and politics of the last 60 years.

Anti-EV? The fuck are you talking about this is anti car dependance.
