I’m starting to see why women would get so wet when I responded with “IDK why I do, I just do” if this is the standard.

This is it. This is my “old man moment”, because I have no idea how this relates to mayonnaise.

It’s not nice to make fun of someone’s appearance.

swag_money,

if someone doesn’t have control over it, like their appearance, I think it’s a dick move to make fun of them :p

rwhitisissle,

It certainly demonstrates a profound lack of compassion.

grayman,

Pft… Terrible makeup, terrible hairdo, colored hair… I don’t think we’re making fun of her giant forehead.

rwhitisissle,

I never specified her forehead. And those things you mentioned also constitute a person’s appearance. I don’t care what her makeup or hair is like. I would never make fun of someone for those things.

grayman,

Well that’s certainly an opinion.

So you wouldn’t laugh at someone wearing clown makeup but otherwise acting serious?

I say fair game to anyone that intentionally alters their appearance in a stupid way.

rwhitisissle,

So you wouldn’t laugh at someone wearing clown makeup but otherwise acting serious?

I would assume they worked as a clown or something similar and were on their break. Also, clowns aren’t funny.

I say fair game to anyone that intentionally alters their appearance in a stupid way.

What you consider to be stupid is subjective. But you’re free to laugh at people all you want. Just like how other people can think you’re not a very good person for doing so.

KrummsHairyBalls, in I prefer speeds per Swedes

Reminds me of an app I downloaded the other day to help plan routes. They asked for my cars “KPL”.

Like what? Who in the world says KPL? It’s l/100KM.

While I’m aware that some places may use KPL, it just seems very American to go “hey, we use MPG, so they must use KPL”.

Lynxtickler,

They use KPL in Japan at least, but I doubt the app was Japanese lol

ursakhiin,

I’d imagine they were giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming everybody uses a metric that allows for 1 conversion to tell how far a tank of fuel will take you.

bstix,

I grew up with km/L.

I don’t mind using whatever scale, but it’s somewhat better for comparing the numbers that cars actually use, because with l/100km every car is five something or six something.

Also the higher numbers are better like everything else on the car comparison cards.

KrummsHairyBalls,

I’d love to know which cars you drive with 5-6 l/100km lol

My best vehicle is 10. My worst is 28. Unless you’re a hybrid, I don’t know of a single vehicle doing 5-6l/100km

BCsven,

Our Honda Fit does about 5.5L/100km if I drive and about 7.5L/100km if my wife drives. I have had it as low as 3.9 But that was purposely watching acceleration and avoiding hills

bstix, (edited )

I’ve had Opel, Renault, Peugeot, VW, Skoda, Mazda, Suzuki.

None of them were worse than 7 L/100km. Pretty much all modern cars go at 5 L/100km unless you get something with a larger engine.

Never had a hybrid.

KrummsHairyBalls,

Pretty much none of those brands exist in Canada, or are extremely uncommon. Not to mention the cold weather makes our fuel economy even worse.

dunz, (edited )
@dunz@feddit.nu avatar

All these brands exist in northern Europe, they work fine here. My 2007 VW Golf does about 6-7l per 100km. They aren’t unusual numbers really

@Knuschberkeks@feddit.de avatar

what? Even my parents 6 Seater family car drank only 8l back in the day, I drive my Opel Astra with about 7 and my brothers little fiat drinks 4,5 if he drives efficiently. You gotts have either s pickup truck or something really old.

KrummsHairyBalls, (edited )

What? A pickup uses 15-28 l/100km.

A Silverado uses 15MPG, according to GM themselves. That’s like 16l/100km

onion,

A Polo 3-cylinder runs at around 5.5l/100km mixed city/interstate. 16l is atrocius

KrummsHairyBalls,

I’ve never seen a 3 cylinder vehicle in my life lol.

onion, (edited )

You propably did but never noticed.

It’s a 1l 75hp engine, topping out at 175km/h or 108mph. Perfect for a commuter car

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-three_engine

BCsven,

Remember The Ford Fiesta, or was it the Firefly?? Iforget the name but that was a 3 cylinder.

onion,

Still is. Focus, C-Max, B-Max, Fiesta, EcoSport, Mondeo, Transit and Puma are the models listed on Wikipedia available with a three cylinder

BCsven,

Yeah pickups and SUVs are gas guzzlers. i get about 5.5L/100km with my Honda Fit

neonred,
captainlezbian,

Yeah maybe it’s just being an American but mpg makes sense in an intuitive way, so kpl sounds like it would be rightish. I’d never guess that people would use l/100km, and I use metric somewhat regularly in my personal life

Oszilloraptor,

Guess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer:

  • allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it
  • allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.
captainlezbian,

I’d change the American thinking from that to bigger number goes further for same fuel/how many miles til I refuel.

onion,

And the non american to bigger number=bigger fuel consumption

captainlezbian,

That’s fair, though there was a non American agreeing that every other number is bigger is better so it’s nice when all numbers are that way.

That said all this is soon to be irrelevant. We’ll all be using wh/m soon enough

sukhmel,

whoops per minute?

onion,

Why not mpwh?

captainlezbian,

Because I’m a bad engineer who forgot that watts are power and not energy

BCsven, (edited )

Fuel consumption makes more math sense, especially when doing mental math comoarisons. Litres per 100km or the newer Gallons per 100miles for USA makes it easier for linear fuel consumption calculations. This quote explains: "The advantage of measuring fuel consumption this way is that it makes comparisons easier as fuel efficiency improves for a specific vehicle. That’s because the differences are linear. With miles per gallon, efficiency is graded on a curve. For example, for a 15-mpg car, a 5-mpg improvement is a 33-percent gain. But that same 5-mpg upgrade for a 30-mpg car is only a 17.5-percent improvement to a vehicle that is already using half as much gas. " With litres per 100km a 5 litre increase is 5 litres regardless of starting fuel consumption.

emeralddawn45,

I’m not even American but this is way less intuitive for everyday use. I don’t need some abstract measure of how efficient my car is being. My fuel tank is measured in liters, when I fill up i pay by the liter, I want to know how far I can go on x liters. Not have to do a bunch of mental math to reverse the equation for my gas tank with 40 liters in it. I have 40l, I can go x*40 km. Mental multiplication is way easier than mental division.

BCsven,

Well the car does the math for you, but it is meant for comparison when purchasing because range relies on fuel tank capacities. where as L per 100 k is a fuel efficiency rating regardless of tank size. But it it makes more sense when you have a fleet of vehicles and are doing logistics and need improvements. if you have X dollars to spend on economy it is a linear equation compared to convoluted deminishing returns on low mpg vehicle. Like the quote mentioned 5mpg improvement on one vehicle is not the same efficiency as mpg on another vehicle.
