      Americans don’t learn metric precisely to not understand European fuel prices.

      “What’s a leetur?”

      “How much is a You-Row?”

      Just as the average price in Hong Kong would kill a European on contact.

      The price per unit is less shocking than the percentage increase from February to now, which is more or less the same regardless of what continent you’re on.

      I mean yeah lol. I used to drive 80 (~128 km) miles a day to go to university. I would have been broke with European gas prices.

      And yes I would have loved to have taken public transit there, but it simply didn’t exist

      I’ve been seeing the news for weeks now, but only last week did I actually check what EUR/l those values were and I nearly died laughing…

      I’m annoyed that we still even have gas. Where is my Solarpunk!?!

      I unironicaly contemplated breaking out of a bus and attacking a pipeline with whatever I could find during a trip to a monastery. Main reason I didn’t was my family was with me.

      So, yeah, I was that close to just doing it.

      Imagine my glee when I heard Ukraine was blowing up pipelines, and America refineries.

      Perfect…

        mehhh we charge our ev and ebikes off solar on our roof.

        Alas we’re Australian and our rail is 18th century and mostly closed down, rather then prolific and electrified because… well, we’re fucking idiots.
