Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Cars have been a prime example, IMO, for a long while.
Oh, the screen on your center console cracked or is out of date? You can't fix it on your own and you need the dealership to do it and if they can't, you need to upgrade your vehicle because they make the vehicle almost impossible to run without it.
Want to change your oil? A well known brandnI cannot think of the name of right now needs to approve! Heated seats? I think it was BMW that planned on charging you a subscription service for that.
I'm predicting in less than a decade, if things don't change, you'll not only be selling a liver for that car, but also all your healthy organs to be able to afford the subscription service to be able to start your car.
Oh, and don't even get me started on the kids pretending to be adults who own a vehicle so damn tall that they have to climb into it using a step thing in the side. I'm talking average height or taller and no visible signs that they struggle to enter ( other than being too short ). It's like watching an entitled toddler try to walk up stairs for the first time. You can't help but pity them, or at least I can't.
