still the best invention ever. nothing else changed peoples live as much.

>muh computer, muh internet

no

Weird way to say "enslaved them and their children to Rockefeller and Standard Oil forever"

Wrong board retard

Nope. Wouldn’t need them if you had walkable cities.

Modern plumbing and AC/refridgeration are far more important

That's not the Haber-Bosch-Process

>internal combustion engine

Belongs in a museum now.

>>106371877
Enslavement is technology

>>106371888
How are you going to have walkable cities without cars? Have horse shit everywhere instead?

>>106371907
Hybrid cars are the future of mainstream transportation, their superiority rules out your fully electrified headcanon nonsense

>>106371888
>Modern plumbing and AC/refrigeration

both impossible without the internal combustion engine to manufacture and transport them

useless without wheels

wheel wins again

the impact varies by person
but yes my stay-at-home stare-at-screen lifestyle would be difficult without wagies using means of conveyance to deliver my state issued sustenance, earning wages by doing that, and giving me some of the money

Hey now. I like cars and fags.

>>106371630 (OP)
i still cant wrap my head around the fact that these massive hunks of metal spin around 50 times per second

>>106371848
US did it to itself with the shittiest city planning ever seen in history. Things will go to shit in about 20 years when oil becomes heavily supply constrained.

>>106374638
Imagine the cost of remodeling all those cities... and the US is the developed country spending less resources in alternatives
>no hydrogen, ammonia
>almost no li-ion chemistry, even tesla is using chinese batteries for 60-70% of their cars
>no hybrids because they tend to be smaller than the normal car allowed in the US

>>106374572
they aren't massive at all. that works against what you are trying to accomplish

>>106374581
some of them.
but also norway. so that was nice.

The Internal Combustion Engine and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

>>106374776
i like going places tho
specially without anyone with me
i can drive anywhere
well i guess a solar car would be good too

>>106374779
with car you can go anywhere you want

>>106371630 (OP)
Hehe

Physics is fucking magic.

>>106371877
It’s literally technology.

MAGIC

>>106375087
this makes me feel dumb for not taking physics more seriously in school

>>106375087
this was brought to you big snatch block
buy an ad

>>106374779
I like going places too but for free and doing exercise at the same time.

>>106375087
snatch blocks are faggy shit
just jack it all the way up with a hi lift finger remover and give it a shove

>>106374664
Hydrogen could be produced with a windmill on the sea really

>>106372234
Yeah if you can't walk

“The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants—becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

The steam engine changed people's lives more than the internal combustion engine ever did.

the only feasible solution

what's the advantage of those thin wheels that restrict you to paved roads?

>i can drive anywhere
can't say the same for parking though, huh cuck boy?

>>106375205
to be fair, was he really wrong?

>>106377291
Diesel was killed because it's a shitty design that creates more pollutants than otto cycle. that's it. cope all you want. total diesel death

>>106379026
i have never had a problem parking in my life
pretty sure this only impacts people withouy autism

>>106379088
you're a delusional lying faggot or have never gone anywhere.

>>106379106
nope I'm not delusional
you're arguing against a person who isn't me and really mad about it
kinda funny

Force and torque are totally different, if you understand gears you understand levers, it's the same you trade speed for torque
