  • It’s not a crazy idea to group people born around a certain year range together. There’s a lot of shared experiences and often similar outlooks. The boundaries between these groups are a little stupid though.

    It’s also a useful tool to understand how global events affect people in different parts of life. Often quoted is a gen z divide that is missing in other generations. I think this was caused because of when covid hit during their lives. A difference of a couple years made a big difference where the younger half leaned hard right and the older half leaned left.
















  • I agree 300 km/h is insanely fast and stupid on public roads.

    The rest of your points sound like you live in 2005.

    A lot of regular traffic nowadays will get you to 200 km/h. Above 150 km/h is not relying on sheer luck, I’m sorry that’s just not true. Yes it’s really really fast and really illegal, but you maintain control given a few conditions.

    I’m also not sure what you mean by “special gear for improved road grip.” A car’s shape naturally somewhat resembles an aerofoil, so yes you generate lift at high speeds. Most modern cars account for this by aerodynamic design, including but not limited to things like diffusers, spoilers, splitters, and the shape of the body itself. These help keep you planted along with good suspension and good tires. I’m certain that just about any car made within the last two decades will not become uncontrollable past 150 km/h unless you’re driving on a really wet surface.
