Electric cars are not better for the environment. All petrol cars combined are only responsible for 7.9% of CO2 emissions. If your electric car is charged from a grid that is powered by a coal-burning power station, it contributes nothing to dealing with climate change. It only provides you with the false sense of security, and you can look cool telling your friends that “you know, I drive a Tesla, I’m environmentally conscious, your gas car is bad”.

Electric cars are lame. When I’m out of fuel, I can refuel fully in minutes. With electric car, I’ll have to wait at least five hours. Let’s be realistic, superchargers aren’t common, and will never be.

Gasoline is 46.4 MJ/kg, or 34.2 MJ/l. Li-Ion is 0.36–0.875. Let’s be generous and say it’s 0.9. To match 1 kg of petrol, I would need 51 kilos of batteries.

Average gas tank is 18 gallons, or 68 litres. To match that, my battery must have a weight of 2.5 metric tonnes. Bear in mind, empty battery and full battery has the same weight. Also, bear in mind, batteries perform worse in the winter.

As per energy density and practicality, things don’t get much better than petrol. Liquid hydrogen has higher energy density, but to store it, gas tank has to have very, very thick walls, to withstand the pressure. And, hydrogen is a bitch. It’s extremely dangerous. You can’t smell it until it’s too late. Hydrogen-air mixture will explode if you look at it the wrong way.

All that “electric cars good for climate” hype is merely Elon maintaining his stock bubble.

Think you didn't go anywhere this year? 🚀 By the end of 2021 you will have travelled 940 million kilometres around a star orbiting together at 828,000 km per hour, a supermassive black at the center of your host spiral galaxy.

A year another worlds :

(1) Mercury : 87.97 Earth days. If you are 15 years old on Earth you would be 62 years old in Mercury years.

(2) Venus : 224.7 Earth days. If you are 15 years old on Earth, this would make you 24 years old in Venus years.

(3) Earth : If you are 15 years old on Earth, you are fucked, cause climate change. [please save your planet " use biodegradable products and plantation trees 🎄 🎄"]

(4) Mars : 686.98 Earth days. A 15 years old from Earth would actually be almost 8 years old in Mars years.

(5) Jupiter : 4,332.82 Earth days. This would make 15 years old from Earth be barely over 1 year old in Jupiter years.

(6) Saturn : 10,755.7 Earth days. If you had lived 15 years on Earth, then you would be a little over half of one year old in Saturn years. Awe!

(7) Uranus : 30,687.15 Earth days. Thus, a 15 years old from Earth would be .17 years old in Uranus years.

(8) Neptune : 60,190.03 Earth days. A 15 years old from Earth would be .09 years old in Neptune years. {Dwarf BONUS 😅}

(9) Pluto : 90,553 Earth days. If you were 15 years old on Earth you would be .06 years old in Pluto years.

Imagine going on quora and answering somebodies carbon offsetting question by pushing your own stupid fucking agenda with propaganda answers like

"oh we need rainforest money!"

"oh we need grassland!"

"oh support the cows"

jesus fucking christ, THIS is why we have a problem with people not accepting climate change, becuase every fucking liberal wants to pile on one another and have their 'most important' cause behind it

give me a break you fucking idiots, it won't be solved by acting this way

sorry this is in no way software related, but it's the only place left i have to rant (however in some ways it is somehow software related, due to being able to think about the real world without being an absolute idiot and pushing some stupid peer pressured political idea because your social identity and friends are more important than actual facts, but whatever)

1. Fix climate change and the environment in general
2. End corporate coercion and social inequality
3. Cure all mental illnesses

Is that too much to ask for?

+50℃ in New York, every day, for three months straight, every summer. Only then they will realize the climate change is real.

FUCK THIS SHIT. A fucking maid is paid like idk, $30/hr nowadays. Why the fuck are we eating so much shit for.

I'm moving to some remote fucking place and I'll grow my food instead of constantly begging for raises because a fucking tomato costs $737284883827362294939

MAY CLIMATE CHANGE AND WW3 KILL Y'ALL MFS

Teenagers are rebellious by nature. Unfortunately some people never mature into their middle age and still throw hissy fits and tantrums about pronouns and climate change until they are like 45 (LOL) which is too late.

These people work wonders as a tool for an aspiring career politician, who can take these sheeps and rile and charge them up emotionally and direct their anger at a specific group of people for no apparent benefit of their own...

Demographic wise I'd say it's mostly Americans now.

"Okay, this is way OT but here it goes. Back during the GW Bush days I noticed something strange. All five TV networks suddenly started using human(s) to refer to us. Gone were humanity, humankind, mankind (!), people, person(s), us, we and human beings I about barfed when I watched an ingenue said her best girlfriend had found a wonderful human to marry.
I see three problems. One is the way putative competitors started this newspeak in lockstep. Another is the degradation of English. The last is the loss of emotional content. Saying "Humans are responsible for climate change." is so blah it's like somebody else is responsible, like Martians, maybe like somebody else is responsible, Martians, maybe.
I apologize for the wording of this rant but I am forced to use a phone with one hand due to severe injury.

Developers celebrate technology, but has technology stopped war, poverty, hunger, injustice, climate change, and the destruction of planet earth by the human beings living on this very planet?
