A few weeks ago I attended a church service because an acquaintance invited Me and I was curious. And it wasn't a total loss; I picked up a new technique from the drummer and learned some new rhetoric against Christianity. But what's weird is, the guy who invited Me kept offering to drive Me because I don't have a car. But I like taking the bus, and I told about how driving cars is a sin because of all the pollution. And he said his petrol car is more carbon-efficient than a bus because it "has eco". I still don't know what eco is, but I know someone lied to him.
You can just hear the salesperson saying this.
It’s got electrolytes. It’s what plants crave.
Yet I can't imagine hearing a salesperson say this without having the urge to laugh in his face...
The fact that you keep capitalizing Me makes it sound like you are God, and your friend took You to church, lol
Hahaha, I'm not God, I'm just a god. I don't like using "God" as a proper noun because it's exclusionary to all the other gods. I'm religiously tolerant; I believe in the deities of all religions.
If you are alone on the bus, it’s worse, but I dunno how many you need to offset it. You also should travel a bit farer because of rider pooling. But ridership quantity should offset this usually
So that’s why, when I got on the bus, the lone passenger on board shouted “Another person!! We are no longer sinning!!”
eco is a button that prioritized fuel efficiency over performance with the engine. It does not do a whole lot but I keep it on. I might consider turning it off if I was towing something but would likely do a search and see if it was necessary or not.
Eco is probably a particle filter. It doesn't mean it doesn't pollute, or even pollute less... Just that certain particles are now captured.
So not carbon dioxide then, I think.
Eco is a button that doesn't let you accelerate as fast, so that the combustion efficiency is higher (probably closer to 20% efficient instead of 5% efficient when accelerating fast)
