The delusional thought process is fantastic.

You have, maybe 2k users here, defederate a new insurance a day, and users are constantly finding lack of content; but yeah it’s the normal user who is quite in the corner 🤣

Keeping an old car is better, but having one that works is even better than that. Cause, you know, eventually cars stop working. That’s a thing.

@Kiosfriend@lemmy.world avatar

mincing me into fertilizer instead of making me sell their crap at 5k% markup gets them more money how?

This way, they have a product to sell. The next tool to come along is hired as the salesman (no salary, 100% commission).

Kiosfriend ,
@Kiosfriend@lemmy.world avatar

but that’s literally what I was doing…do they just mince everyone, have all the product, and never sell any? how does that get them any money?

LemmysMum ,

They make you make the product for less than it’s worth, then they sell you the product for more than it’s worth, and pocket the difference.

They mince you when your buying power disappears.

People think capitalists care about nothing except their net value but that's an unfair stereotype.

What's the use of having all the money if you can't make other people suffer? How else will the poors know you're better than them?

The operating word is “would”. If it served their needs, they would. Not that they’re going to right now, obviously.

camelbeard , in Buying a new car is not better than keeping an old one

Here’s another “fun” fact, with every 3 miles you drive you will polite about 1 straw of microplastics from the cars tires.

Yoinkle ,

Source?

Elivey , (edited )

You know how you have to buy tires every few years because they “go bald”? As in, they’ve lost that material that was once tread? That material isn’t just disappearing, it flies off the tires in the form of tiny particles that are in the air and water. It’s actually really toxic too, way more than other plastics. Fun fact EV tires are even more toxic.

Source: I work in a toxicology lab studying microplastics.

UFODivebomb ,

While notable: That wasn’t a source on the particular fact cited.

camelbeard ,

I responded somewhere above in the conservation.

It was something I heard this professor say in a podcast and there was also a newspaper article about it.

This English items doesn’t say the straw bit, but it does say 4KG of microplastics during its lifetime

theguardian.com/…/car-tyres-are-major-source-of-o…

After some Googling, a car tire will last about 50K miles. After 50K miles it has lost 4KG of microplastics. A car has 4 tires so 16KG.

16000 grammes per 50K miles, is almost 1 gram per 3 miles.

First Google result Straws on average weigh so little—about one sixty-seventh of an ounce or . 42 grams

Yoinkle ,

Yes I know that, but I’m asking for your source for your claim of those exact numbers.

camelbeard ,

It’s an article from a Dutch professor, unfortunately paywalled

fd.nl/…/autobanden-de-grote-vergeten-vervuiler

On his linked he summarized some points

Column FD

  • In the Netherlands, a total of around twenty million kilos of tire grit in various degrees remains in the environment every year.
  • **A car threw the equivalent of a plastic straw’s worth of microplastics out the window every five to ten kilometers. **
  • You cannot remove microplastics from the water with a well-intentioned ocean filter.
  • Time to start working on more sustainable or, better, biodegradable tires.
Elivey ,

Here’s a fun fact because I work in a lab that studies micro and nanoplastics:

Of all the plastics we have studied, tire particles are THE FUCKING ABSOLUTE WORST. They leach all sorts of nasty shit.
