Three of my family members had babies in the last 12 months. My family thinks I'm being dramatic when I start talking about climate change.

Our society is not known for thoughtfulness.

Ah cool, how do you do fellow sibling?

So you're creating more CO²? Shame on you!

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

People will be having babies regardless. If you want to advocate for them to stop, you aren't going to convince anyone.

I think the whole messaging of CS in degree is kinda misleading. What helped me grasp the concept was to understand that it’s not about average temperature rise but that the climate has more „energy“ in general. Storms that were once a decade are now yearly occurrences etc. the climate is changing, it’s not just getting warmer

[–] illi@lemm.ee 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's why the whole thing got "rebranded" from global warming to climate change

iirc yeah. they noticed winters and tropical storms were getting more extreme too, not just heatwaves. op's way of understanding it really does click.

The temp gauge on your car s iintended to be in the middle. If it goes up to not quite red, do you pull over? Or rev the fuck out of the engine until it blows up?

America revs that bitch relentlessly news at nine.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

To be fair the gauge on my car stays in the same spot all the time, I think it only has 3 positions lol. I need an app connected to the Obd port to actually read the temp.

My oil pressure gauge has two positions - either there's oil or there isn't lol

[–] FantasmaNaCasca@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Something something Schrodinger Oil.

Your oil gauge really shouldn't be moving a whole lot. That's a feature, not a bug. The information you need is too cold, too hot, or just right. Knowing the exact temperature might obfuscate the important data. 99.9999% of the time, your oil temperature is within operating temperatures. You really only need to know when it isn't.

Kind of the same thing for oil pressure, you either have enough, or you don't. There's no need to buy a quart of oil just to throw half of it in the car. That warning comes early, it's "you need to go get oil in the car you're currently driving, make that the next thing you do." Not "you're out of oil pull over."

If you ever see an externally mounted oil reservoir, it will have two lines. One near the top, and one a ways from the bottom for max and minimum fills. If the machine that's connected to has a sensor, it goes off well before that minimum fill line, and that minimum fill line leaves enough oil in the reservoir to lubricate everything it's lubricating multiple times over before it runs dry.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It doesn't move at all, it's a known thing with the car. No need to carsplain, I swap my own engines :d

[–] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 months ago

obviously it can be stable at almost red, which is a sign that it should continue being abused.

Snowy has the right idea in this picture.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago
