In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Red car is on the passenger side first, then suddenly on the drivers side.
This ad is not only about cars. It's a political ad where "blue haired lesbian Democrats get dusted by a beautiful blonde Republican woman". This is what they're trying to convey.
People forget that emissions reduction isn't just about global climate change but also local air quality. Sure, it doesn't matter as much in rural areas where there are fewer cars. However, in large cities it adds up and makes air quality plummet. People have a right to fresh air. Idiots are going to bring back smog and increase lung cancer because of a minor annoyance that most people don't even notice.
You forgot that the only government policy is "owning the libs".
Pointing out factual inaccuracies is irrelevant when the entire execute branch is bananas.
And science and health experts are largely libs. So owning them involves a lot of self destructive bullshit like making measles great again and polluting everything.
There is now also evidence to suggest that air pollution causes dementia
That was a huge difference I noticed after driving an electric car for a few days. ICE cars stink, real bad, we're all just used to them and we ignore it.
The entire video is WTF material. The AI-generated part is the least of my worries.
It's diabolical really. Remember the first generated videos of Will Smith eating spaghetti? That was 3 years ago.
You couldn't really trust anything anymore on the internet when more sophisticated tools like OpenAIs Sora had been released to the open world. It's not even been half a year and we now have full on nation state level propaganda that one can barely keep apart from a real video (if at all).
This one is so packed with stereotypes and "hidden" messages that you could dissect it in a school lesson on propaganda / post generative AI media.
It’s a stupid policy but it’s playing to the base of stubborn idiots and boomers. I know of several boomers that get irrationally angry at the fact that their engine stops and they have to wait a quarter of a second sometimes for their brand new car to start at a red light. You point out that this gives an appreciable increase in fuel economy, sometimes significant, and they don’t give a shit because they’re selfish assholes who would destroy the entire world to not be inconvenienced for the briefest of moments.
Those people will remember this
They are on the right side of the Porsche but look to their right?? I'd say that's another one of the flubs here.
Y'know, just on top of all of the disgusting bullshit that they're trying to say with the video itself. Fuck I can't wait til you yanks do something about this shit down there (please).
we're working on it like you're working on brexit.
aka, hopefully both of us will live through the trying times the idiots drag us through.
Well I'm Canadian but we've got our own idiots so we've always gotta do our bit.
Not that they know or care, but Toyota (and most) hybrids like that Prius have fully-electric AC. It runs at full blast with or without the engine turned on.
Real fun when descending a mountain and you realize that gravity is powering the HVAC.
There something else wrong with their Prius if the AC blows hot when running on the drive battery. Also, the Prius is snappy off the line and powerful out of a turn… but comparing an AI “sexy coke” Ferrari to an AI “neo-liberal gay” Prius is just stupid. They even zoom out like it was a legit drag race.
Interesting back windshield wiper that only wipes half the windshield.
Even today, the rear wiper is comically small on some cars.
