Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Eh, keep your superiority by being proud to be a super early adopter. Then everyone wins. "Oh, you got an EV in 2024? I've had one for YEARS! "

Oh, that wouldn't be the same! I'll have to supplement my vehicle with incredibly smug bumper stickers.

(I don't mind being downvoted, but I think I should point out for the sake of not making someone's depressive mood worse that this and my previous comment in this thread were meant to be humorous and I'm not actually this insane. I don't expect my Bolt EUV to seriously impress anyone. I do like driving it though!)

Fwiw I haven't downvoted you, and I think both of these posts are completely fair, taken together. If someone wants to feel smug because they're making the planet better, fuck yeah feel smug, you smug bastard. The actions matter more than the words.
