I do have to oil the chain on my bike every now and then though. (I know about waxing, haven’t made the jump yet)
Fuck cars

Waxing? I don’t. I use a wax based lubricant for sealed chains but am I missing some ancient technique?

It’s a trend in road cycling at least. You completely degrease the chain and then dip it in a special hot wax. Apparently it lasts longer than oil and doesn’t attract dirt.

I’m about to. Have the setup, and a spare chain. Just need like 2 rainy days.

Please do not the car (and if you do, please use fresh oil)

Seeing stuff like that makes me feel so thankful to live somewhere with (mostly) functional public transit lol

Yes but lions have other concerns.
On this line of thinking, one benefit that lions and most animals have is being able to react naturally.
The shit that makes us anxious (for example) should be mitigated by acting anxious (taking less risk and avoiding a bad situation). But in modern life, it makes it worse :(

Yeah it’s insane how much easier EV’s are to maintain. Almost no wear or consumables.

So much easier UNTIL one of the six million proprietary silicon bullshit breaks (or planned obsolescence) and you’re SoL without official manufacturer support.
EVs are a maintainability and reparability nightmare, despite not needing maintenance as often

I’m pretty sure you need to change the blinker fluid once in a while.

The BMW i series doesn’t ship with blinkers so if you have one don’t worry about it
