There’s a common misconception among boomers and gen x that “digital natives” like gen z have a god-given tech proficiency. However, there’s nothing about being born with a smartphone in your hand that teaches you anything about tech.

It’s not like people are getting better at changing oil as car ownership becomes more common, right?

“Ponzi scheme could falter without wider adoption, warns early Ponzi scheme investor”

What I learned from this is never let a physics major cook you dinner, unless you want charcoal for chicken (200C !?!)

Birds also only eat spiders they see. Not sure how that’s any different

Of course you survived! The ones that died from traumatic brain damage aren’t around to make stupid comments

Stop sharing this bullshit. It is a stupendously simplistic view that is propagated by those wanting to get in the way of cheap renewables.

Yes, it makes sense in some cases to cover parking lots, but it increases the price and complexity many folds and the areas needed in open land are next to nothing compared to the area being used to grow energy crops today.

The meme should be “stop covering our land with fertilized, pesticide covered corn and rapeseed that go into combustion engines, cover it with solar instead”

EVs Teslas crash more.

“Some of these accidents involved Tesla’s self-driving system.”

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig…

You know what would end poverty? A trillion dollars

Two questions:

1. Is this for real?
2. Does it work?

I feel like a large company going to that kind of effort to explicitly tell me to not spend money on something would have the exact opposite effect. It’s not like they’re saying “unions are bad, actually” it just like “this thing you were going to spend money on, maybe don’t?”

Imagine a poster saying “Drugs are really expensive - you’ll get more value for money if you buy videogames” - would that work?

You didn’t make nitroglycerin. Maybe you could classify it it as a form of napalm though

Once again “the earth” is supposedly synonymous with “that one country in North America”…

USA is a democracy

Well, if you want to go all “technically” on this, then that sound technically dissipates as heat when it is absorbed by the interior of the room.

Uh, EVs are safer than ICE cars

Username checks out

This is basically automation bias you’re describing and it’s what scares the hell out of me with these “FSD” teslas on the road.

Even if you were able to keep constantly alert during the 99% of the time where this works (which I think is close to humanly impossible) why would you want a system that doesn’t offload you at all? The only value of this system is if people ignore the limitations and allow themselves to zone out - the rest of us are at risk when it goes wrong!

Is this an actual thing in the us? We don’t have 50 year mortgages in Denmark but I can get a 30 year fixed interest at 3.5%
