If it is common knowledge that shutting a garage door with a running ICE vehicle inside will kill you, why do you think so many people think 1 billion ICE vehicles aren't bad in the atmosphere? (self.asklemmy)

"But tires"

Ban all vehicles over 5000lbs to start without a specialized license and extremely heavy fees to have them. EVs are dropping in weight daily, ICE vehicles have been increasing in weight to dodge policies. One is a means to an end, the other is a means to profit.

Profit for few vs humanity's existance.. which should we choose?

Well ice ice baby much like drill baby drill refers to vehicles running off fossil fuels, mainly known to be gasoline refined from crude oil

Hopefully my joke didn't cause confusion.

Basically. Start a gas powered car in closed area... You will die before morning, electric, you will be confused why there was no exhaust port because we have been programmed for so long that cars emit acceptable loss

All good, just never heard those vehicles referred to like that. My first new thing of 2025, I guess!
