    Pardon my ignorance but is driving a Hemi a “good” thing or a “bad” thing and thus an insult to be passed by?

      Dudes that say “hemi” still are stuck in the past and stupid. I say this as someone who owns and drives a Ram 2500 “Hemi” (don’t worry, no DUIs). It’s a marketing term at this point that dumb grunts (and I don’t just mean in the military) buy into because they feel special. It’s like dudes that say they drive a Cummins or Power Stroke (yes all of these are as erotic as they sound). It’s an engine. At the end of the day it’s kind of a crappy one too. Most Dodge Hemi’s have what’s known as Hemi-tick that is this sort of constant clicking on idle, they’re incredibly inefficient, they make mediocre power compared to their competition and the reliability on them is questionable at best. Overall good maintenance will keep these motors working fine and running for a long time, but the paint on every Ram will fade and chip, the clear coat will crap out, and the interior will eventually start to rattle and fall apart faster than the competition. 10/10 vehicles.

        Why did you buy the Hemi if you think it’s bullshit?

      A Hemi engine has a hemispherical dome, which was a new design that increased efficiency and power output over others, in 1901.
      Chrysler popularized the term for their engines in the 1950’s, and the name has a positive image in some circles because Chrysler-built Hemi engines were used in WW2 fighter planes and NASCAR racecars.

        Also to note, Chrysler just keeps the name HEMI. Modern ones aren’t actually hemispherical.

      It’s a V8 engine with a massive bore. It’s fast and powerful. Being passed by one isn’t really an insult. It’s like “okay, I’m driving a corolla and a V8 just passed me, this is to be expected.”

      It's really a strange thing to put on a truck window. But I hope someday we can move beyond associating dumb things with "gay." Or using "gay" as a slur or a putdown.

        You’re right. It’s not sometime I use in real life (not since the early 2010s anyway) and I’m not sure why I thought it was cool to say it on here. Just a shitty reactionary thing that I blurted out.

    I wonder if this guy served?

    source
  • tygerprints@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "hemi" and why should I care if I got passed by it? I believe all veterans deserve respect, but also they should still respect others. I know guys who were in the army that, if they hadn't enlisted, would probably have ended up in prison instead. Meaning, that just because someone has served in the army as a soldier, it doesn't necessarily mean they deserve the highest of all possible praise.

    I have family in the military and they're all good people, so I'm not putting down anyone in the military - but I believe there are many other professions that should be getting lots of thanks for their service to the public also.

      Dear fucking god, service? What fucking service? 😂😂

      Wasting trillions of dollars to destabilise the entire fucking planet? 😂😂😂

        Well I don't know what "service" goes around destabilizing the fucking planet, but whatever it is, I want to buy shares in it. I know a good thing when I see it. Also - what about doctors, surgeons who repair bones and heal people, EMTs and first responders and fire fighters? Or are all those people unworthy of praise for their service in your opinion?
