Thought Forge@mander.xyz•Can we plz stop wasting engine block heat after parking cars?
4·9 months agoEV car buyers have a delusion that their old ICE car is removed from the planet. ICE cars are not being trashed upon replacement. They are shipped to Africa, where the avg. age of a car at the time of purchase is 21 years old.
Small aircrafts w/an ICE last forever because they are very well maintained (by law in fact). The cost of replacing an aircraft is also very high, so economic pressure also ensures a long life. The same would be true of ICE cars in your region if the economics of your region demanded it. Reguardless, unless you also plan to eliminate worldwide poverty in a couple decades, the ICE cars are not going away.

They spoiled:
- red kale
- fermented fruit juice
- fermented strawberry jam
- pumpkin jam
- sourdough
but it’s unclear which led to possible benefits. With jams I would just scoop out the unexpected organisms and eat the rest. Maybe that’s not even necessary.


Not AFAIK. We would be inventing it. From there, it’d be a tool for legal actions and leverage.
