There are tons of communities for questions, this isn’t one

Viruses mutate constantly, this is how you get new strains of everything so frequently. I’m not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, apologies, if it was a joke question it whooshed me

A true hero of our times

At the moment of leaving this comment at least two people completely missed your sarcasm

You got the country right. What’s your idea of a small car? When was the last time you drove in Australia? How large are the lanes where you live?

Of the cars you listed (or better said the website listed) only the Nissan Leaf is under 1800 mm width ( 1780 mm ). With a length of 4490 mm it’s not exactly a small car though, but I’ll grant you it’s within an acceptable size range for a vehicle. I haven’t seen many around tbh. The MG zs EV follows closely at 1809 x 4323, acceptable sizes but not small.

The Tesla T3, TY (you see these two a lot), Kia EV5, and BMW ix1 are well above 1900mm width. The T3, by far the most popular, is exactly 1933mm W x 4720cm L, the TY only 3cm longer. Hardly, hardly what I’d call a small car.

The other models listed are all above 1800cm width, and their lengths are over 4200 mm.

Let’s compare these sizes against popular PICKUP models. Ford Ranger: 1910 mm x 5225, Volkswagen Amarok: 1910x 5350, Mitsubishi Triton 1815x5305, BYD Shark3 1994x 5195, Nissan Navara 1850 x 5120.

TESLAS ARE WIDER THAN PICKUPS. Why??? Most other EVs have comparable widths to those of a pickup. Is that small?

Examples of actually small cars: Honda Jazz 1694mm x 3996, Toyota Yaris 1710x 3940, Suzuki Swift 1735x 3840, Nissan Micra 1665x 3780, Fiat Mini Cooper 1744 x 3876. These are relatively recent models. If you look for older ones, before 2020, you’ll find even more under 1600mm. Before the 2000s, you get cars even narrower than that.

New roads might take the current average car sizes into account, but nobody is broadening already existing streets.

Oh. In the USA huh ?

No

Renaults are rare in Australia (and for some reason also disliked by aussies in general ). I would say the most popular brands are BYD, Tesla, Honda, Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai, easily more than half the cars you see in circulation today. I can probably count with my fingers the amount of times I’ve seen a Renault while driving.

On the same boat and yes it’s depressing. It’s also depressing that nobody seems to be thinking about all electric small cars, or even normal width cars, at least where I live. Teslas and BYDs here are about as wide as buses. I can only dream of Honda or Toyota making an electric vehicle no wider than 70% of the lanes they’re supposed to drive on.

The article says “banned from purchasing tobacco products” and that the same smoking restrictions will now also apply for vaping. I don’t think it mentioned nicotine specifically. I think it mentioned banning the sale of disposable vapes too but here goes my memory span, useless.

People are still allowed to smoke in private spaces like their homes, but the public spaces ban would now be extra. It’s an interesting move, I don’t smoke or live there but I see both the potential good and bad ramifications from this.

Just post online more often. People will point at your mistakes

Try one of the questions communities. This isn’t a showerthought

Wat

Bro. He’s practically Jesus. Or a doctor, I don’t know. Were you expecting anything less?

You must be a lot of fun at parties

Only scorpions have legs. Clearly lobsters have arms instead.

I think they mean in a mass production environment. Raw egg would require a lot more additives and preservatives to keep the product safe to eat and from spoiling quickly, something eggs are infamous for. Also the occasional salmonella outburst and recall and lawsuits. It’s just one of those things people avoid.

But you are right, you can totally eat raw eggs safely if they are fresh

Omg!!! A true showerthought, you say? In the showerthoughts community? I believed they were extinct! Thank you!!!

That’s sad. I’m not a fan but it sucks that she’s stuck with an addiction that jeopardizes her own life. I hope she can overcome this for good.

🥱

Try the unpopular opinion community, this isn’t even a showerthought.

And make it completely unusable for decades
