I have a Honda civic, which was sold to me with defective air conditioning, which was never covered by the warranty because fuck Honda. My phone literally overheats and stops working. I’ve almost had heat stroke multiple times just trying to get to fucking work.

Have you tried to open the window(s)?

What happens when you drive with all windows down?

It gets to be 98 degrees instead of 101 degrees.

Get a 12v car fan. It will help at least when stuck in traffic?

The rationale being that we would have more trees if we didn't have so many roads?

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

Not even roads, parking lots man, tons and tons of empty unused space

Not fewer roads (It's still important to have good street grid connectivity and small block sizes), but narrower roads and smaller parking lots.
