Well a lot of people would think gaining 50 mpg is way better than gaining 5 mpg, since it’s 10x as much, but really it just shows that you can’t use mpg as a unit to compare like that
This is why the rest of the world uses l/100km (liters per 100 kilometers), the comparison is linear and thus comparable between different vehicles in a simple manner.
5mpg = 20g/100mi
10mpg = 10g/100mi
40mpg = 2.5g/100mi
55mpg = 1.82g/100mi
The difference between 10 and 20g is easy to see as a lot bigger than the difference between 2.5 to 1.82g. 15 is a much bigger number than 5, but that 15 is relative to the initial mpg rating
In fact going from 5mpg to 10mpg is better than going from 10mpg to 100mpg, a 10g saving vs a 9g saving…the more you know
but if we are trying to save the world getting the lowest mpg vehicles off of the road first will have a stronger effect
if you already drive a 30mpg car and you are ready to upgrade then definitely look for better efficiency but I think we should have incentives in place to get cars that operate at for instance 16 mpg (my first car for instance, 1996 Chevy blazer, now deceased) replaced by even 10 year old models which are much more efficient
I think ‘soul’ is not something which exists in itself - it is the idea of the essence of a thing, the thing which causes an individual life.
So theories go around that there are spiritual beings separate from the physical (debatable) and I personally think that it extends to all life, such that trees can have awareness which can also extend beyond their physical bodies.
As such, they obviously exist - but their exact definition and nature is quite hard to grasp. I don’t think they can survive physical death.
So apparently Peertube works well, in part because the structure of the two platforms map onto each other well. Communities -> Posts -> Comments = Channels -> Videos -> Comments.
I experimented once, and from memory you can definitely subscribe to a peertube channel here. But I don’t know my way around peertube so I don’t know how well it works.
In theory yes Lemmy should federate with them all of course to be sure if it works on a per instance level you could always try it, As not all mastodon instances seem to work with Lemmy for some reason
