Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
R/audi is the icing on the cake here.
Modern Audis are the GenAI of cars. Bland interiors with touch screens for everything. Great for marketing to those who don't actually like cars. Inferior in usability to what they had 10-15 years ago. Audis in general also aren't very much drivers cars. Weight distribution is abysmal compared to BMW, though that's because of design decisions they made last millennium.
I swear my 19 year old Audi is better than what they're putting out now. Sure at 400k km with no transmission service I'm having to rebuild the auto transmission. And there's rust. But it has character and all the functionality I use is behind buttons and dials, the screen is informative only (though it is high-res enough that you can buy a CarPlay/AndroidAuto kit that that runs on the original, non-touch screen).
And I hate Audis, used to especially hate the generation I'm currently driving because I'm of the opinion that they stopped knowing how to build cars when the millennium changed. But fuck me if it isn't way better than the shit they're putting out now.
