  1. Ride a bike
  2. Overthrow your government

I'm halfway there already! 🫡

Get rid of extra weight

I'm really trying, okay? :(

I don't even think this really works out. Its not like I'm going to be walking to the gym.

Incidentally, with Hormuz disrupted, more oil is being pumped from Russia, giving them a nice windfall.

Seems all of Trump's owners are making out like bandits on this one

[–] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

Well, Trump is sending 2200 Marines to Iran, I bet they'll be checking tires as soon as they arrive, so gas prices are bound to go down!

Tips to save on gas:

  • Move to NY or Chicago (if you can't move to NY)
  • Take the subway
  • If your city has busses use those too
  • If your commute is short use an ebike
  • Protest the war and demand the absolution of the Zionist occupation

FUCK CARS AND FUCK ZIONISM

Don't go to war to distract from the Epstein Files*

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or because the Mossad blackmailed you using the Epstein files.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And the easiest way to not get blackmailed is by NOT RAPING KIDS.

The one weird trick they're absolutely unwilling to try.

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The lesson here is clear. Only kill and kidnap (or hang) people from other oil producing countries when you can get away with it.

Nobody cares about a few hundred thousand dead civilians every few decades as long as gas is cheap. But the moment gas gets more expensive, maybe war is not such a good idea after all.

And here are some other tricks to save on gas. Try not driving a vehicle the size of a tank. Or even consider crazy ideas like using electricity to power your vehicle, even if it emasculates some alpha males. In fact, it's also possible sometimes to walk or even use a bicycle!

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Using electricity? Like double the efficiency? Never! I want my sound! 🤪

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If you still want to annoy everyone around with noise, just get an electric car from Hyundai. Their pedestrian warning system is so loud that I can hear them better than gas burning cars when I have the windows open.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Really? Wow.

Someone noted ev would've been a good chance to regulate / minimize the strain on the public. But oh well...

(just to be clear the noise part was sarcastic in the previous post)

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

Unfortunately, yes. I live in a tower on a busy four lane artery. There is a traffic light just in front of the building and when the windows are open I can hear some electric cars, like Hyundai, when they are going at low speed. Here is what they sound like. I can hear others and I'm slowly beginning to recognize what brand they are just by the noise, but an electric Hyundai is loud and obvious to me.

I like how it just says "check tires" but doesn't say anything else about them.

looks at tires

drives somewhere

uses same amount of gas as normal

What the fuck, yo?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

check engine light comes on

checks engine, still there

🫪

There are two types of people: those who can make inferences from an incomplete data set

There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

On the last point it was Lindsey Graham who played Trump like a fiddle.

I'm surprised why more reporters aren't asking how easy it is to play Trump.. They talked about it in the past every time he meets with someone he changes but Lindsey really played him well.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As a German, I have to protest strongly!

My speed is my freedom! I will not reduce it! (/s in case someone didn't catch that)

Let's not share from Sal the Agorist.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have a good reason, or is this some weird dbzer0 thing?

I know literally nothing about the guy, because I'm not terminally online. I have no Twitter account, nor Instagram, Threads or that Trumpy one. Fediverse only, and I only check the comms I sub to, not All. I'm also not interested in listening to some rambling podcast just to get the answer to a simple question.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 21 hours ago

I've given you all I'm willing to give. I made my claim. Whats the worst you can do, downvote me?
