Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Driving a gas/diesel car, car centric societies are hell for health. I mean car is useful but we should not use it everyday and need it to do everything.
Pollution (from combustion and tire wear) provoke breath illness and weakens our immunity system, have you seen a spike on asthma issues?
Lack of physical exercise make us sick.
Petrol gives cancer, how does it is not written on every gas pump, like for tobacco ?
I wonder what the carbon impact of the Epstein distraction in Iran is. Like would it be more or less than if an entire US states output from vehicles and semis?
Hot take but the carbon impact from the Iran war is definitely negative. The single most effective way to encourage a transition from oil is to spike oil prices. Not to mention the long term damage to oil and gas facilities and the increasing concerns over energy dependence on the most unstable parts of the world.
You should get a Nobel Prize for being able to find a silver lining. That's literally the only positive outcome I've heard.
It ain't much but its somethin'
You know if a Democrat put a huge "This is terrible for you tax" on oil stuff, they'd lose their freaking MINDS. . . Would probably go to war over it. Lol
Somehow for 'pubbies it's acceptable to reach the same result as long as there's countless needless casualties, I guess. Talk about failing into success...
