if you get hit by a wall with infinite weight, moving at 1km/h, it has infinite energy, yet it will merely push you away

i do have to point out, the plane trip itself was far worse, climate wise, than the vibe writing.

That said, yes I agree, it is of course an extra load, that could be easily avoided.

You have it backwards. Larger vehicles of course have more energy, but pedestrians are too light for that to make a difference.

If you get hit by an oil tanker ship going ~1 kmh, that ship has orders of magnitude more kinetic energy than a car at highway speed, yet, unless theres a wall or something, the ship will merely push you harmlessly aside.

Its about the manner of delivery, not the vehicles energy.

Larger cars are more dangerous because they hit you higher up, where you have more vital organs.

I agree, large cars are generally much more lethal to pedestrians, due to their shape, not kinetic energy.

Thats not how kinetic energy works, no pedestrian is heavy enough to stop any car, small or large.

at that point youre just challenging your stomach for no reason

eh, you know what, fair enough!

wtf

Russia fucking off out of Ukrainian territory is kind of the definition of Ukrainian victory in this war though?

oh wow I didn't know that!

would make sense to give more a lot incentives for EV buying if so!
