Fun fact: most rubber is synthetic and made of plastic now, including car tires.

Another reason EVs are NOT the way forward. They’re heavier than ICE cars and so they go through tires significantly faster. I wonder if anyone has done the math on how much of our world is filled with microplastics from car tire treadwear. I imagine it’s astonishing.

Adding: It’s also not surprising to me if car tires are made of plastic these days. The level of engineering it takes to make a tire sticky enough to bring a modern 5,000 pound SUV to a full stop like the 3,500 pound sedans of yore has to be insane.

So what you’re saying is that scientist’s laziness on the development of flying cars is what is going to lead to the downfall of man.

I always knew it

its weoght would be dependant on how much of a battery capacity they have as its chunk of weight is just pure battery weight alone. An average model Y weighs in about the same as a large SUV. so if this statement was made in particular to the U.S, it wouldnt change much given how popular SUVs are. if you take away the EVs, the vast majority is just moving back to SUVs, which is ultimately the same problem.

EVs will lose weight eventually when there are faster and more chargers, and the necessity of having large battery capacities decrease.

places in oven

“Honey what’s that awful smell?”

“Who knows. Probably the neighbor’s leaf blower”

Five minutes go by

“It smells like cancer”

“Maybe they are sealcoating their driveway, I don’t know, stop asking me”

Twenty five minutes later

Opens oven

“Fuck”

Retching, coughing “Sweet baby Jesus, what the FUCK is that?! Melted plastic? On my new casserole dish?!”

“Open a goddamn window”

“Open all the fucking windows”

“Mommy why is the house stinky”

“Charlie go play outside”

“But Daddy–”

“I SAID GO OUTSIDE CHARLIE”

from outside “Daddy it smells out here too, the neighbors are doing something black to their driveway”

Old family recipe. Gently sprinkle 2 Tsp of turmeric on top. You won’t taste the rubber.

Why would I do that?! The rubber is the only good part in this.
