Jonny 290 posted:breaking: harley davidson hired tesla dudes  quote:They face multiple problems as baby boomer buyers age out of motorcycling and the belief that Millenials apparently have little interest in motorcycling and/or do not have the money to purchase Harley’s machines. I guess because this isn’t business journalism they can dare suggesting the thing: everyone is broke

millennials are broke, so harley made an electric bike that cost as much as a down payment on a house. for some reason, it didn't sell well

Even ignoring that issue they're screwed, though, because they have marketed themselves into a corner as expensive toys for aging boomers. I don't think even rich millennials who are into motorcycles are going to want to buy harleys.

at this point the people that enjoyed the era of harleys they try to nostalgia up have been dead for 20 years. 60s bikers were all shitbag criminals, and anybody age 40-60 spent years riding AMF-built Harleys, some of the most dogfuck awful machines ever shat out of an assembly line

we could stop making motorcycles that are both the worst and most expensive on the market OR... we could keep selling chrome gewgaws to senior citizens at 5000% markup and duct tape together some electric thing for the [makes face] millennials

Hydrogen is it, but because there's no way to monopolize it (beyond capitalizing on their existing respective networks of service stations) the oil folks will just keep us addicted to the last drop* *unless Abiotic Oil is real, in which case forget any meaningful investment in alternative propulsion and hello runaway greenhouse

it turns out it's way easier to reduce global warming by depopulating the global south, and destroying all the nascent rapidly growing industrial economies

Jabor posted:the mass famine as a result of decreased crop growing is in fact an entirely intended consequence That’s the super obvious one. Cold‐blooded animals would be hosed. The air around them might be the same temperature it was in pre‐industrial times, but sunning themselves will no longer be as effective. Birds aren’t going to like what it does to thermals. Speaking of air currents, they would shift on continental scales. Blocking sunlight would lead to its own version of climate change. Nightime temperatures would continue to be elevated by the extra‐thick blanket of greenhouse gases; blocking sunlight would do nothing to stop that. Ocean acidification will happen either way. Then there are the photochemical effects, other than on photosynthesis. The rate of breakdown for organic molecules will drop, within the atmosphere, on exposed surfaces, and in the ocean. They say “sunlight makes the best disinfectant”. So much for that. If we had to install an L1 sunshade, it might be preferable to preferentially block long wavelengths to lessen the photochemical effects.
