If I understand correctly, they launched AUDI as a separate brand. Audi (with lowercase udi) isn’t affected. Anyhow, a weird choice from my perspective.

Looks nice to me and potentially good aerodymics but man…

I expected them to be tangled at the end.

Absolutely. And I’m definitely not promoting to buy from Ikea rather than local carpenters. I’m just saying that both have their pros and cons, even if we ignore the price.

I’m pretty sure that resource consumption is more efficient if you build at a larger scale.

Furthermore, I’d say that most people’s requirements change over time: Families grow, families shrink, rooms are repuposed, people move to another city etc. Not in all these cases, you can buy for a lifetime. And that’s what I meant with the standardization aspect. If I own a simple Ikea shelf (like Ivar), I can easily convert the shape, size etc. years after the initial purchase by just buying/exchanging a few parts. And the leftover parts are quite easy to sell or give away as there are many people out there using exactly the same system.

Müsste man nicht die Kuh vorher wilde Schütteln oder ins Euter boxen, damit sich der Fettanteil absetzt, bevor man die Buttermilch zapft?

One aspect I like about Ikea is that they brought some level of standardization and continuity to furniture. I can get used Ikea stuff from several sellers and easily combine it. For a lot of stuff that’s decades old, I can still get new accessories, spare parts etc.

And there’s a big community around Ikea stuff to creatively repurpose and adjust their products (often referred to as Ikea Hacks), almost giving it a feeling of open source to me.

It’s still a huge capitalist company with all of the typical downsides, but I think with only lots of small, local players ressource consumption might be even worse overall without having the advantages above.

So overall, I tend to like Ikea while still trying to avoid unnecessary overconsumption.

Thanks for your insights. Personally, I’d prefer to pay a wealth tax like that compared to a system where it’s up to the individual to save for their retirement.

Als jemand, der nie sehr aktiv auf Reddit war, kannte ich dieses circlejerk-Konzept ehrlich gesagt gar nicht. Wenn das absichtlich eine überspitzte, selbstironische Echokammer sein soll, muss man gewisse Posts natürlich auch ein wenig anders interpretieren. Für mich als nicht eingeweihten wirkten manche Posts in der Vergangenheit einfach unsympathisch und unnötig aggressiv.

Ich habe es beim Scrollen einfach immer nur als eine “normale” deutschsprachige Community mit Inhalten zum Thema Veganismus verstanden.

Kann jetzt gerade keine Beispiele mehr nennen, aber ich habe hier schon Dinge hoch und runter gewählt. Wenn ich etwas runter wähle hat das aber nichts mit meiner Ernährungsweise zu tun, sondern mit dem konkreten Post. Insgesamt wähle ich (nicht nur hier, sondern überall auf Lemmy) deutlich mehr Inhalte hoch als runter. Wenn ich etwas nicht interessant finde, wähle ich gar nicht. Nur wenn ich ausdrücklich nicht zustimme oder einen Beitrag außerordentlich unlustig / unangebracht finde, wähle ich runter.

In Germany they sell a couple of these vegan patties, nuggets etc. frozen in a cardbord box.

20% better efficiency compared to it’s predecessor. Love to hear that more and more companies are trying to lower their energy consumption. I still hope for smaller models rather than dozens of SUVs.

But almost 1% of Alphabet’s revenue in 2024 (350 billion USD) and around 2.5% of their earnings (112 billion USD). Won’t ruin them, but definitely hurts. And bear in mind that the revenue and earnings are worldwide while the fine is EU-specific. If you compared to EU earnings, the number would be even higher.

I just hope they really stick to the fine and won’t drop the charges…

I think Parliament is made in Russia. No clue if it’s still sold though.

Not an expert on the topic but Google brought up this result at the very top.

Wieso machst du die Wasserstoff-zu-Helium-Kernfusion nicht einfach selbst bei Bedarf? Viel flexibler!

Nach der Argumentation müsstest du dann aber gleich Sojabohnen kaufen, daraus kann man Tofu machen, aber nicht andersrum.

Oder gleich Pflanzerde. Darauf kann man Soja anbauen, aber auch Erbsen, Lupinen, Bohnen uvm. ;)
