Me neither, I drive electric

I'm pretty sure you need to change the blinker fluid once in a while.

Yeah it's insane how much easier EV's are to maintain. Almost no wear or consumables.

[-] vivendi@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So much easier UNTIL one of the six million proprietary silicon bullshit breaks (or planned obsolescence) and you're SoL without official manufacturer support.

EVs are a maintainability and reparability nightmare, despite not needing maintenance as often

Anyone crazy enough to design a FOSS EV?

[-] Overspark@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago

How is this different from any other modern car?

[-] vivendi@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

90% of your power train is proprietary electronics that are designed to be opaque and break of you try and "tamper" with them

Most of an ICE car is tangible, rather widely replicable, blocks of metallic alloys

I do have to oil the chain on my bike every now and then though. (I know about waxing, haven't made the jump yet)

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

I'm about to. Have the setup, and a spare chain. Just need like 2 rainy days.

[-] CausticFlames@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

Waxing? I don't. I use a wax based lubricant for sealed chains but am I missing some ancient technique?

[-] Damarus@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago

It's a trend in road cycling at least. You completely degrease the chain and then dip it in a special hot wax. Apparently it lasts longer than oil and doesn't attract dirt.

Seeing stuff like that makes me feel so thankful to live somewhere with (mostly) functional public transit lol

The lion drives an electric car

[-] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Or uses public transport >>>>

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Please do not the car (and if you do, please use fresh oil)

[-] fnrir@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

sidenote: is there a Lemmy version of r/dragonsfuckingcars?

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Yes but lions have other concerns.

On this line of thinking, one benefit that lions and most animals have is being able to react naturally.

The shit that makes us anxious (for example) should be mitigated by acting anxious (taking less risk and avoiding a bad situation). But in modern life, it makes it worse :(
