Black cars...Also not a great choice for the Aussie sun. Absorbs heat.

I remember watching a televised oval-track truck race a few decades ago; one competitor had to drop out because his truck developed vapour lock from the heat. The bonnet was black.

In the next race his truck had a white bonnet. A pit reporter with a pyrometer took temps of that truck's bonnet before the race, plus another truck with a black bonnet.

The white bonnet was 42C and the black bonnet was 82C -- just sitting there in the starting lineup, with engines off.

Basically left wing progressives are inherently anti-male and anti-white male and social media helps amplify and push these beliefs far and wide because left wing progressives and women are supplying them with easy content

You're describing the liberal wing of the U.S. Democratic Party. A "left-wing progressive" would be someone like Bernie Sanders.

Have a look at this:

I'm not the person you asked, but his 2019 Bernie Sanders interview was really good.

Thanks, good to know you have a similar group over there.

By the way, the two I had previously mentioned have been condemned by the head of the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League:

In November 2023, the Anti-Defamation League classified protest events led by groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow as "anti-Israel", adding the protests to a database documenting rising antisemitism in the US. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt labelled the organizations "hate groups".

To say this characterization is inaccurate would be an understatement.

Zionists pretend to speak on behalf of all Jews, but never have

For what it's worth, here are two notable U.S.-based Jewish peace groups:

It seems to be more prevalent on lemmy

I've noticed this with the two largest Lemmy instances -- .ml and .world.

it's still mildly-infuriating to see obviously innocuous/irreverent posts/comments being dogpiled

I think early downvoters are just trying to induce others to follow them because they're assholes and have nothing better to do. Unfortunately, it's pretty common with both Reddit and Lemmy.
