Oh shit is this not a joke?

Hahaha Michelle Maxwell had a 4 out of 5 chance of getting the stressed word correct and completely bombed. Impressive stuff. Almost any other of those words would have been better than 'of'.

Huh, they let Betty be a lesbian.

Beep Boop beep I keep hearing people complain....

That can't be good for the fuel injector.

density of oatmeal (source (although this is with sugar)): 693 kg/m³ = 0.69 kg/L

nutritional value of oatmeal (source): 297 kJ/100g = 2970 kJ/kg

(oatmeal with sugar and stuff: 4600 kJ/kg, same source as the first one)

typical leisurely cycling energy expenditure (source): 80 kJ/km

bicycle oatmeal-efficiency: (2970 kJ/kg * 0.69 kg/L) / (80 kJ / km) ≈ 25.62 km/L ≈ 3.9 L/100km ≈ 60 mpg

bicycle oatmeal-efficiency with sugary oatmeal: (4600 kJ/kg * 0.69 kg/L) / (80 kJ/km) ≈ 39.68 km/L ≈ 2.5 L/100km ≈ 93 mpg

please do correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like the math pretty much checks out on that one!

Nothing beats bicycle when it's comes to efficiency.

Similar with mine. 80km a week in cycling to work.

They say DMT feela like loading the Universe into the cannon and shooting yourself with it.

There should be a carbon tax, but whoever signs it will be the least popular president in history. One of the flaws of democracy is that sometimes the thing that really needs to happen is unpopular with the moronic citizenry that can't understand why it needs to happen.

Yup, they've deferred paying the full balance on extraction, refining, and burning for a century. Why would they start now?

You ain't wrong

I find it too metallic to be a solid drink, but the price does make me feel fancy.

It's both. We're not getting paid the full value of our labor, annual wage cuts are the default, and the only safe ways to save require buying into that same system of oppression.

And also the system of global exploitation that gave us cheap goods because we oppressed the global south into accepting low wages (aka imperialism) has reached a point where the capitalists are extracting diminishing returns. This means they have to turn their gaze towards home and exploit us more in order to keep increasing their profit margins.

While it doesn't show the whole post, nothing about this screams obvious joke.

Poe's law. It's not extreme enough. I can easily picture a maga using this logic to justify why Trump's middle east fuckup isn't all that bad.

I know people who post this unironically. They are too far gone

It’s not a joke it’s a bot with gop talking points.

The Tisms strike again

well..

All the reading beyond this point was oppositional research.

If "Calvin's dadism" was a cult, I'd be in it

What if we harvest that heat for energy

This. And the other consideration they aren't factoring in is that the cost of gasoline makes everything else more expensive, too.

Based on what I know of wine, a $9/glass varietal is on the lower end of quality today, but that was about average a few years ago. My recollection is that a cheap wine would have gone for $5/glass in 2010. The Two Buck Chuck that we bought by the case in college now costs almost $5.

The wine hasn't gotten any better. But it costs more to move that wine by truck to the store, so the price goes up. It costs more to manufacture the bottles and power the equipment they use to process the grapes. It costs more to harvest and transport the grapes in the first place. It's a chain of price increases down the line that all add up with the cost of gas.

Wages haven't meaningfully increased at a comparable rate either. Even if you're earning a bit more now on paper than you were 5-10 years ago, everyone's purchasing power has dropped significantly. Even if prices of certain goods haven't gone up that much, I have to think a lot more about my spending today than I used to.

It's literally a bot with made-up talking points. This isn't a a real person.

I had some really good ramen last night at one of the conveyor belt sushi places.

Super expensive.

But good.

DM ME NOOD^l^ES!

I mean even then it is way cheaper compared to gasoline. Around me, EV stations charge ~$0.50/kwh (give or take) and gas is ~$4.50/gal. Assuming 5 mi/kwh and 25 mpg, that comes out to $0.10/mi on electric and $0.18/mi on gas. So in "gas prices", EVs cost ~$2.50/gal and that's assuming you don't do most of your charging at home, which takes it down to ~$0.08/kwh around me ($0.016/mi or $0.40/gal equivalent).

The conversion for eMPG (which yes, is possibly the most cursed of units) is ~33 kwh equals a gallon. My PNW home electricity prices are pretty low, but that puts an eGallon at ~$2.97.

If anything I think that number is misleadingly high, but that's part of why it's possibly the most cursed unit.

Magas got mad at him for pressing the "raise gas prices" button when Russia decided to invade The Ukraine.

friendly Narwhal named Gershwin

You've met him, too?

Psshh you won't trick me. They weigh the same.

I have a Hyundai Elantra that gets the same fuel economy

You don't understand, i need a big truck so otger people don't think i'm gay and assume i can afford my car. That 5k check from tge pedophile better come soon.

A current model year prius is ~3,250lbs / ~1,500kg and only gets 54mpg highway - what normal sized cars are you thinking of that will get you 60mpg without hypermiling?

A gallon of petrol is a good use of $4 if you are going to have the pedo president burnt at the stake.

the corner shop 500m away

A lot of Americans live 30 minutes from the nearest real grocery store.

But yeah they still don't need a lifted truck to go there. It's not like the cashiers at the Wal Mart Super Center are going to be impressed by their Carolina Squat lifted white pavement princess, but that's what they insist on driving.

As much as it pains me to have this thought, there are adults running around today who were very small children in 2004.

Pavement princess pickup trucks. Shiny, chrome, pristine, comically huge trucks that never see any work or recreation and aren't ever intended to. The "all hat no cattle" of vehicles.

I'm confused by comments like this because my Hyundai Elantra gets 7-8L/100km, which according to internet calculators is 30mpg

maybe I'm just thrown off by the cursedness of the MPG unit and how much the difference is between 25-30 and 30-35

it's astroturf, prolly a bot account
