I get this post is a joke, but PSA for anyone considering this new tide pod challenge... Swallowing a battery will fuck your shit up. Like in life altering ways. Some brands of watch batteries are coming coated in very bitter tasting substances to help prevent kids from eating them.

Reforesting agricultural land by reducing meat consumption would make a huge difference, particularly in the Amazon (#1 cause of deforestation in the Amazon is for beef production). Livestock farming uses around 50% of all agricultural land globally, while plant based proteins use a small fraction of that. Reforesting also has the benefits of improved biodiversity.

Stellantis has an EV???
Yes, the largest factor for reducing body weight is calorie balance. Yes, there are nuances as other commenters point out about different effects on your body. But a lot of the discussion in this thread is really low quality and sources are few and far between.
I highly recommend Harvard's Nutrition Source for high quality science-based information on diet. The language is very accessible as well.
If you have specific questions about your health and diet, I'd suggest speaking with a Registered Dietician (RD). They are licensed medical professionals who specialize in this.
The article details issues with pharmaceutical benefit managers, which 2 of the big 3 are owned by insurance companies and the third is owned by CVS
QuantumScape is currently building the mass production line for a solid state battery and has been sending prototypes out to their auto manufacturer clients for testing.
This Undecided with Matt Ferrell video has a good breakdown.

Plastic production is also one of the dirtiest industries in terms of air and water pollution... I doubt China has strong enough environmental standards
Newman's Own black tea, 100 ct. The 100ct is about the same price as a 20ct from name brands. The bags are wrapped in paper, not plastic. And 100% of profits go to charity
Edit: and it tastes better than other brands that sell 100ct like red rose or lipton
Drosophila geneticists come up with the craziest gene names... My all time WTF is Suppressor of Mothers Against Decapentaplegic (SMAD).
There is a noticeable difference in EVs with AWD vs FWD, because the drive wheels all have independent motors. More motors= more power. As other commenters said, the main other consideration is if you have snow.
We've really enjoyed our Hyundai Ioniq 5 crossover SUV. It has a ton of leg room (I'm 6'2" and can fully stretch out my legs), 300 miles of range, and more acceleration than any car I've ever owned. The cost of charging at home is about 70% less than we were paying for gas, plus there's almost no maintenance needed (e.g. there's no oil to change). With super chargers on road trips Hyundai and Kia EVs can charge from 10%-80% in about 15 mins for slightly less than the cost of gas.
