Study finds that letting idiots use significantly more resources than necessary for their vanity baby dick mobiles is bad for society... who would have thought?
Study Finds SUVs Are Failed Capitalism Incarnate

Why drive a SUV anyway? The climate collapse should force all of humanity to live more modest lives, the time of consumerism is over.
Doubt. A car doubles it's CO2 output from manufacturing in around 3-10 years, depending on size. There's no way an SUV EV hasn't recouped the difference in manufacturing CO2 vs a gas SUV by like year 1.
- The point is SUVs and large cars are using up limited resources and if it takes significantly more battery material to make a battery for a heavy car it might make more sense to prioritize smaller car manufacture.
  
  Or like lawnmowers and mopeds, which typically have unfiltered exhausts
Wait, so scientists are saying Tesla Cybertrucks were a bad idea? That doesn't make any sense, Elmo is a genius.
- Ketamine use doesn't make you a genius, it just makes you feel like one 🤣
  
  Does it? Makes me feel chill and a bit silly

We need to invest more in salt batteries!
