    I feel things and am a pacifist, but man does a tasteful loud exhaust sound good on an exotic. A V12 straight pipe Lamborghini or a catless PDK Porsche sounds glorious under load, but keep the 4 bangers fully muffled.

    Your civic isn’t cooler because it has 30 more HP and sounds like it has an exhaust leak at the head.

      Nah that shit is ridiculous. Lamborghini’s are just noisy as fuck. They are loud while idle, they are loud while going slow and they are retarded loud when going fast. And somehow it’s legal because it’s for rich assholes.

      It’s fine if people listen to their loud ass cars at home but bringing a vehicle that sounds like it moves with the power of 10 000 farts per second onto public roads is just not ok. It’s like the people that listen to the worst music aloud on public transit, just get headphones for your music and car sounds.

      I generally take “studies” that merely “suggest” with at least a pound of salt. Anyone and their mom conduct “studies” and “polls” these days it would seem.

        That’s the problem with social media. It enables misinformation via omission. Like in the instance of “studies”. Rarely are sample size or controls shared, or the process nor are the sponsors of the “study”.

        I’m going to stop before I start ranting about my pet peeve about how untested theories are shared on social media as fact and has ruined and dumbed down our consumption of science news and information.

            Cool…did you read the study? It’s a joke. This is a biased study that’s being passed off as science.

            I wasn’t talking about this exact instance. Obviously the quality of links someplace like Lemmy are going to be better than someplace like Facebook.

            It doesn’t matter, the majority of people won’t click on that in the article. It’s better to just link the paper than some other writer’s opinion/conclusion on the paper. That’s another problem we have, we read other people’s interpretation of data instead of reading it ourselves, understanding it, and coming to our own conclusion.

            But that also doesn’t solve the problem of quality of the research. Just because a paper has been written, doesn’t make it valid if the study is so small or methods are sketchy, its conclusions are useless.

        Lol. The ‘many people say…’ argument.
