Global sales of polluting SUVs hit record high in 2023, data shows | Half of all new cars are now SUVs, making them a major cause of the intensifying climate crisis, say experts
  • I just found that the 16 largest Ships emit as much as all cars. Did not check the source further.

    But that really depends on how you measure and define pollution. As others have pointed out container ships are still pretty efficient. But of course they should get better too. Like everything!

    Source: https://cedelft.eu/publications/the-basic-facts-how-do-the-emissions-of-ships-and-cars-really-compare/

    As I have said, I did not fact check it further because it is quite late here. Just wanted to give information to that claim and please correct your statement (:

    Ren - Hi Ren (Official Music Video)
  • Yeah its pretty crazy... I cannot really put into words what that song makes me feel. As a guy that has to fight mental illness for quite a long time it really hits quite hard because he gets a lot of points. Its not that I hear voices like him. For me its just my own thoughts that tell me ever so often that I suck and am worth nothing. Its crazy how that guy gets that all into that song. The whole fight that he does. And in such a freaking cool way. The other songs that he made also remind me more of an story or bard style than typical rap that I see in mainstream today. Can recommend it fully

  • [video] Europeans love sleeper trains. Why don’t we? | CBC Creator Network
  • Same here, every time I was driving train at night in germany. I rarely was in a sleeper train and if I was. Only in the normal seating compartments. They are just way to expensive. I sometimes look for fun what a flight would cost. And mostly its more than the half...

    And don't get me started with train driving to other European countries

  • [meme] Trains -- not driverless cars -- are the future of transportation
  • Then be against surveillance in general... Its also a big problem. Not only a problem of 15 Minute cities. Cameras can also track your car quite easliy. Through the whole city.

    All I need is less than 10 minutes away and I rarely need to go further for anything. And I love it. Not car dependend and no surveillance here.

  • You're not the richest, but not the poorest either. Stop whining.
  • I am one of the poorer people in Germany, so at the very lower end. I am still pretty happy to be here because my lifestyle is quite better than in most of the other world. But I don't see where I could make any bigger changes anymore.

    • I don't drive (Fuck Cars!)
    • I do not fly
    • I eat near to none meat
    • When I travel, I travel only inside Germany with trains
    • I try to work in a field that helps the public transportation

    And so on. I understand the point you are trying to make. But for me it seems like the good old, you as a person are a problem! Not the industry, the policy makers and the fucking rich people with private planes.

    Don't get me wrong here, I still see how entitled I am and that I can still change some small things... But sadly, that won't save the world

  • [meta][discussion] Rules for this Community
  • Yeah you are right, its my first time being moderator for such a big community. I just wan't to make the thought process behind my/our decisions more clear for everyone and I think that would not hurt. But thanks for your feedback! I really appreciate it

  • [meta][discussion] Rules for this Community
  • Of course, I am pretty happy that at least one person had some questions so far. Its in our all interest to make such questions a community thing (:

    As you say, it is nearly impossible to write things, so that no one feels attacked by it. The goal is just to make obvious attacks against specific people against the rules. If someone feels attacked by unbiased facts, then its his problem. Because it would make it nearly impossible to make any discussions. So I would say we act by the unbiased fact.

  • [meta][discussion] Rules for this Community
  • Okay I will try to give a bit more insight and it seems that we should add some explanations to the rules.

    • You don't have to agree with everyone. Disagreements are a fundemental part of a community and its important that we can discuss about things. Of course the fuck word is still allowed. In my opinion at least in the context of this community. I meant its in the name.
    • That is a really hard thing to differenciate for me currently. And I am working on it. But nontheless I would say that you can make a point, probably a far better one if you do not attack the person directly. You can attack the believes or the things that they write but not the person behind that. If you think someone else is going to far and you feel the need to get onto an personal level, you won't win anything.
    • The line is also not easy, I understand what you mean. It was meant by me in a more general sense to like what I wrote in the point above. We should all be able to make our points and discredit other things without being dicks to other people.
    • Could rename that clearer. Crossposts are completly okay so far. I wrote that in because we had sometimes, but not very often the case several people posted the same video in a short time. Its just there that we can make an easier call on that and delete things that are double. So probably no reposts?

    Thank you very much for your input and I hope I could make my thought process a bit clearer

  • [meta][discussion] Rules for this Community

    As we have seen a rise of toxic behavior we have decided that it would be time for some rules. We would love other ideas too and feel free to discuss it here.

    Also we are thinking about, to put in an Automoderation tool that could help us a lot. Because its currently not easy for us to scan every new comments and reports are rare currently. We want your opinons on that too, because its important to us that this community is based on the people here.

    The shortlist that we have currently as idea for the Rules:

    • Be Kind to each other
    • No Hate speech
    • Dont harass people
    • No Racism, sexism and any other discrimination
    • Dont attack other people just because they have differnt opinions (Stay on Topic)
    • Do not double post

    even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • Yes I don't know you thats true, just your style of discussion kinda reminded me of my own self a few years ago. I did not wan't to attack you with my comment. Sorry if that is what you have read.

    To be clear, I understand you point but the way I have read it was that you are calling people out that really have no other option. And that is the sad truth.

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • I am sorry that you think you need to leave the community. Maybe I can give a bit of insight what is happening currently.

    I am also not okay with how some people are not able to make a discussion without calling names. I myself have written something that can be missunderstood and that after I read it must say that It really came wrongly.

    We currently are working on some more specific rules to make it easier for us to decide what to delete and what not. Sometimes the comments are just so much that we simply don't have the time to read them all. So feel free to use the report button then, so we can have a closer look on the content that is not okay.

    I want this community to be open to discussion and that people can have different opinions and that we are all able to discuss it. I feel sorry for OP too because its not okay what some people did write here.

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • You can all discuss your points here but don't be pricks about it!

    Yes I understand that this is a heated topic, but I wan't to remind all to be please stay civiliced and friendly! Think about what you are writing and that its not against people. Remember the rules of this instance. I just wan't to remind you all that we have the same goal in common.

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • Okay what exactly do you wan't him to do? Thats what I want to know. I mean he is doing quite good in seeing the issues and he also wants some change. Probably not as much as some of us, thats hard to say because I dont know him. So as long as people are not against that change we can first treat them maybe as allies?

    You seem to see the world in black and white. And I think that is hurting you somewhat. I was the same a few years earlier but I realized that the world is way to complex to make it that easy.

  • even on fuckcars people still like cars,... damn
  • I don't know where you live. I live in Germany and know some people that are dependend on Cars and do not like it at all. Mostly outside of cities its just not possible to get to work without a car. If they would have alternatives they would switch. So as I said, we should be open to people and show them why it hurts also them and not just scream fuck cars only. We should rally for a better public transporting infrastructure and why it is also good for people that currently depend on cars.

    And we are asking quite a lot how we can change things so we don't need them anymore. So for now, fuck all cars that are not needed. And fuck the politicians that they don't give the people alternatives. Fuck everything that makes cars more dependend in Daily live.

    And we should also celebrate all changes that all changes to car centric infrastructure. Its still a long way, but I think just saying everone should just get off their job and not use cars anymore is not the best way...

  • [image] My hometown has some nice rentable cargo bikes

    I would love to see it in more cities/countries, because I use it very often. I don't have the money to buy one for myself so the best that happend was that the city decided a few years ago to make stations where you can rent these bikes for a short shopping trip or to some nice place. They aren't even really expensive too.

    [meta] Guidlines for Posting

    In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let's try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:

    • [meta] for discussions/suggestions about this community itself
    • [article] for news articles
    • [blog] for any blog-style content
    • [video] for video resources

    • [misc] for anything that doesn't fall cleanly into any of the other categories

    I have copied that idea from another community. I forgot which one so sorry!

    Feel free to discuss that here, I would like that change because it makes it a lot easier

    First Post (Let's make this real again)

    I know this exists on Reddit. I just miss it very much here and I thought. We are now the core community and we need to build stuff new.

    I am more than happy to give this to the moderators that moderate the reddit sub. But I wanted to make it real here.

    On my part I will mostly post Videos or other stuff about that topic. Or just rant about the street in front of my apartment.

    Feel free to discuss the topic here and bring ideas to a better live without cars!
