Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Lol, you just claim my numbers arent correct because?
But you're right, I compared the best stationary diesel engine with 50% efficiency instead of a usual one, and used the low end of efficiency of the diesel car. But that was in your favour.

Hi, ich hab mir grad den ganzen Thread angeschaut und muss noch schnell meinen senf dazu geben. Generator betriebene Elektrofahrzeuge sind tatsächlich effizienter als direkte Verbrenner im Realbetrieb aufgrund mehrerer Punkte:
P.S. i assumed from previous comments that you're also a German (or at least german speaking) so I kept my comment in german. If I'm wrong and you (or a random reader) want a translation, just comment and I'll do a translation tomorrow.
Edison's series hybrid electric truck gets 21mpg, beating comparable diesel only semi at 6-8mpg.
Took a bit, but there is your real world example.
You also still don't have a real world example of a car that gained efficiency after removing the hybrid system.
