Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I can feel sick due to engine braking and it doesn’t matter whether it’s a manual or an automatic as it happens with both. I leave my auto on the comfort setting and it can still cause sickness. The sport mode is worse and the eco mode wouldn’t cause sickness as it doesn’t have engine braking (I assume that it does the equivalent of dipping the clutch when you let off the accelerator)

As I understand it any unanticipated movement can cause motion sickness. I can’t read in a car otherwise I get sick really quickly. I can get sick in the front passenger seat even if I don’t read.
