    A lot to unpack here.

    well dont necessarily use diesel, use high octane fuel instead, methanol, biofuel, anything,

    They are all pretty bad ways of powering motors, to be honest.

    ice cars are now way efficient than ever…

    And yet they are far inferior to electric motors. Combustion necessarily comes with the lions share of the energy being wasted as heat.

    but mining cobalt and lithium is way harmful…

    It’s not great, but then again, neither is the extraction of fossil fuels from the ground. From what I can tell, it’s actually far worse than the metal extraction we’re doing.

    Consider that you may have fallen for fossil fuel industry propaganda that is trying their very best to cling on to their last years of high profits.

    also cars arent the most harmful transportation invention in this world: how about airlines?

    Apples and oranges. I’m not even really sure why you’re bringing it up.

    have u ever considered taking a train instead of flying (especially country bound ?)

    The vast majority of my long-distance traveling is done by train. My last international trip was by train, in fact! If only we invested more in trains, and stopped subsidizing flying. I love traveling by train, and I’m not exactly a fan of flying.

    always forget that i am commenting in c/ fuckcars… i should consider unsubscribing from here; hating solely on cars is pointless)

    I don’t think most people in here are solely hating on cars. They are bad, though, and that’s kind of the topic. There are other communities for hating on other harmful things in our world.
