Greenline Confirmed

Diving into the Youtube comments is worth it sometimes

Came across some sort of environmental storytelling at the thrift store today, but I'm choosing to ignore it.

University of Minnesota researchers analyzed 120 million vehicle trips across the United States from four Wednesdays in 2021 using driving data on national road networks, speed limits and U.S. Geological Survey elevation data. The analysis included roads with speed limits of 45 mph (72 kph) and higher. More than 43% of the studied trips included at least one instance of speeding, and drivers spent nearly 12% of their driving time going faster than the speed limit. They found that if drivers of light-duty, conventional internal combustion engine vehicles actually drove at posted speed limits, it could save an average of $22 million, based on fuel costs at the time, 6.7 million gallons of fuel and 57,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide every day. The researchers said that is comparable to taking about 5.5 million passenger vehicles off the road. And while drivers say that speeding saves them precious time, researchers found that is not really the case. With an average daily driving distance of 28.6 miles (46.03 kilometers), driving at or below the posted limit corresponds only to about 54 seconds longer per day.

Some rando lady was just mean-mugging the shit out of me in the supermarket like I spit in her food. Then she said, "Oh. It's a dog..." like she was disappointed. I assume she was talking about the shirt and not me, but who knows?

Even for your most cherished hobbies, sometimes you go down the rabbit hole a little too deep, come across something you've never seen before, and think, "actually I think I'll take a break for now."
