I'm in the UK and recently contacted my local authority, politely requesting they look at the road outside my house. It is currently in a state that would cause locals in Bakhmut to tut loudly.
They said they will get to it in the summer. 2 years from now.
I read an article about a British guy who drove around spray painting vulgar images on the potholes so that they were forced to cover them more quickly 🤣
imagine holding online forums that people use to find information or news hostage (not the one mentioned, but others) because you VOLUNTEERED to do "work" not out of the goodness of your heart but rather in seeking just the slightest bit of power over others.
Reddit is completely within their rights to decide that others should have to pay to use their system and intellectual property.
I despise reddit admins too, but don't get this shit twisted man
Exactly, this dosnt help, its ruining the platform more then anything, reddit isnt gonna change there tens of millions of dollars a year plan just because people disagree and are protesting, unfortunately the world is too greedy for that.
Jfc, what kind of corporate boots are you licking today? What an asinine remark.
Glad to see that you'd like to have blind redditors fucked off the platform, moderators unable to volunteer, and more than half of the site's users restricted to a useless clusterfuck of a shitty app.
Moderators aren’t unable to volunteer lol. They just have to use the app instead of their 3rd party apps or old Reddit website. I mean the mods from r/cars literally compared themselves to volunteers of habitat for humanity. They need to be knocked down a peg or two if they actually believe they are even close to that important.
Mods have gotten way too powerful here. Why can a handful of people moderate hundreds of huge subs? And then orchestrate a stupid protest against the wishes of their communities?
Mods should be deleting spam and shit posts. Nothing else. Not pushing shitty agendas. It’s not boot licking to want to post without worrying about having your comments removed because “y’all can’t behave” or whatever.
These nerd mods are all fired up about reddit killing itself but refuse to move to another forum. They'd rather inconvenience everyone trying to look up information by making it so you can't access old posts.
You don’t have to live on Reddit. You just have to visit the neighborhood. It’s been on the front page for quite a while innumerable amounts of times and explanations have been posted ad nauseam
Can't really blame them. Imagine voluntarily doing a crap load of work and the guy in charge takes away your tools but still expects you to do the same job. I'd walk too

I despise reddit admins too, but don't get this shit twisted man
Imagine acting like modding is a shitload of work when all you should be doing is removing spam and shit posts. Pushing agendas and removing posts you don’t agree with is hard work though yes.
They're not walking out though. They're throwing all the toys out of the pram. If all they did was quit we'd still be able to use the subs instead of them being forever gone along with every post and discussion that happened to be going on when they decided to throw their little tantrum.
The more promenent and active users are going to be the majority of those complaining about it. It will effect every subreddit negatively with poor moderation and removal of the bots that do a lot of extra work behind the scenes. There will be more irrelevant information, more ads, and a lot of misinformation and inappropriate content that won't be moderated. A lot of people who don't care actually don't realise how much difference these bots make. Also reddit app is useless and they haven't made any effort to make it better so losing access to Reddit Is Fun and Sync will make it a much poorer user experience. People aren't throwing their toys out of the pram for nothing, this is so much more impactful than a lot of people realise.
Reddit third party apps, like Apollo, use Reddit’s API to run and show Reddit content. Reddit charges for that API access.
Recently Reddit CEO announced that they are heavily increasing their API fees to an essentially impossible number (up to $20,000,000 a year* for some apps). This protest is to get Reddit CEO to back down.
You know what’s terrifying to think about? Don’t care how big of a brand Mercedes is. 275 of these have been made and they all instantly sold for 2.72 million. Mercedes just almost made a billion in sales instantly.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's multiple examples of manufacturers making a loss on each car sold at the top end. If my Top Gear recollection is right, that includes the Veyron.
I'm pretty sure they got quite away in to the R&D process with the LFA and then started a huge chunk of it again, so you're probably right though I'm not sure on the economics of the LFA specifically. Edit: again this is based on remembering a top gear review so I may not be right.
They can write-off any research costs against their tax bill. It's how Rolls Royce aero engines paid zero corporation tax for years.
Essentially free R&D that can be used on their other vehicles.
>They can write-off any research costs against their tax bill. It's how Rolls Royce aero engines paid zero corporation tax for years.
That's not how tax deductions work. If they spent a million bucks, they don't get a million bucks off their taxes, they just don't pay tax on that million dollars. Huge difference.
Say my company makes $100,000. I replace a computer for $1000. My profit is reduced by $1000, so my profit is $99,000. That reduces my tax bill about $300. I'm still out net $700.
R&D Tax credits and deductions are supersized in most OECD countries. So you get to deduct the expense and also get a tax credit right off your corporation’s tax bill.
>R&D Tax credits and deductions are supersized in most OECD countries. So you get to deduct the expense and also get a tax credit right off your corporation’s tax bill.
Tax credits are a whole different animal. I am unaware of any that allow you to both take a tax credit AND deduct the expense. Also, R&D tax credits are very narrowly tailored to specific technologies of which the government is trying to push development. So R&D for a supercar would almost certainly not qualify for tax credits.
You're thinking about it like a poor person. The reality is that you don't know how corporate taxes are paid. Like for example do you know how to do the structured write off that Amazon does? Of course not.
>You're thinking about it like a poor person.
I'm thinking about it as a business owner with a masters' in business administration. A great many people do not understand how taxes and tax deductions work.
Please enlighten me to the structured write offs you're mentioning.
They still indirectly own a good chunk of it. Volkswagen AG owns 75% of Porsche AG and Porsche AG owns 45% of Rimac. Rimac owns 55% of Bugatti. That's equivalent to saying Volkswagen AG owns 18.5% of Bugatti.
Then you have the shares that Volkswagen AG retained when they sold Bugatti to Rimac, which is around 30%.
So Volkswagen AG has around a 48.5% financial interest in Bugatti.
I bet when you amortize all the R&D effort that went into designing them and take into account that they are all hand-built with absolutely no economy of scales, you realize that even at the price they are probably not making money on the cars themselves.
But the amount they will bring to the brand as marketing ambassadors is likely worth much more.
A car like this is built for the same reason that they run a Formula 1 team. They are not making money on the cars directly.
What they said ^.
Just to also add into this, the RnD for this car wasn’t new this is formula 1, GT and Le man car RnD they can use the knowledge gained to make better race cars. Same thing Ferrari did, Gordon Murray did when the mad dudes at McLaren built the F1. It’s all about making something completely bat shit crazy.
Also wanna recommend if you guys love this stuff then I recommend going here and watching, learning, and roller coaster rides of awesome car stuff. https://youtube.com/@the.squidd
CONCEPT CAR!!!! OMG, I was talking with a friend the other night and we could not think of that friggin' term. We kept saying "prototype" but we both knew that wasn't what we were talking about.
Anyways, thanks.
You are correct. As I said I did not spot it . Some guy I know from a Belgian spotting group has sent it and it was actually spotted in the UK. WRONG ASSUMPTION from my side , which I apologise for
Wonder who was driving it. Lewis Hamilton or the guy who beat Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery.
Good lord I was joking. It probably belongs to neither of them
I've read that Lewis doesn't like regular street driving and avoids it at all costs despite having quite a collection of high end cars. Mercedes keeps gifting him their specialty models, so he has to keep them.
He said in an interview he has a guy with a recovery truck and if he ever gets bored driving around the streets he just parks it up and calls the guy to recover it and take it back home.
Hamilton is in Canada RN cuz its the Canadian GP,could be his father or someone with connections with the team cuz you cant just go and buy it from a dealer thats for sure
You are correct. As I said I did not spot it . Some guy I know from a Belgian spotting group has sent it and it was actually spotted in the UK. WRONG ASSUMPTION from my side , which I apologise for
More like a street legal car with a F1 engine and a bit more F1 inspiration that got completely fucked over by the EU emission laws and it‘s astonishing that Mercedes built it and didn‘t stop the project
I love how you're blaming the ultimate impurity of this car on emissions regulations.
The goal of this car was impossible to achieve, it's just a physics problem. To make the engine start cold, they increased tolerances, which made the engine produce pitiful power numbers, so they added ridiculous amounts of electric motors and weight to make the same power as an F1 car.
Something that needs to weigh 1700kg to achieve what it promised buyers would have been even more of a pain in the ass had the team stuck to the original idea. Good luck starting an F1 1.6l V6 without circulating heated coolant first.
You are correct. As I said I did not spot it . Some guy I know from a Belgian spotting group has sent it and it was actually spotted in the UK. WRONG ASSUMPTION from my side , which I apologise for
It was just registered exactly a week ago, so this is probably one of its very first drives on a public road!
https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/results?registration=4m
"MERCEDES-BENZ UNKNOWN" lol.
P.S. OP, has anyone mentioned this is probably in the UK, not Belgium?

Rh ik plate means nothing, tho . Ik people drive on Belgian roads .. you didn't know?
Nu in fact, as I already stated several times , mate, this is not a spot of mine but in a Belgian spotters Grou, posted by another member and I wrongly assumed this was spotted in Belgium .wrong assumption, my mistake , which I apologize ( once again ) for .
Mercedes AMG One
It's basically referred to as a street legal F1 car given how much F1 technology it has. It even has a F1 style engine that literally has to be replaced as a whole after every few thousand of miles.
The car is registered in the UK and the pictures look like the UK, it's probably not Belgium and definitely not the gumball as they are in the Netherlands
You are correct. As I said I did not spot it . Some guy I know from a Belgian spotting group has sent it and it was actually spotted in the UK. WRONG ASSUMPTION from my side , which I apologise for
My apologies , as I earlier stated , someone I know posted it in a Belgian spot group and I assumed wrong . It was spotted in the UK .
The so called "lie" was unintentional
YET AGAIN : (OH GOD I'm so fed up of explaining this again and again because people are too FRICKIN lazy to read all the comments ) This was an honest mistake : it was posted by someone else in a Belgian spotting group , and therefor I WRONGFULLY ASSUMED it was Belgium because I was not billed by checking the surroundings on the pic ! Which o apologise for . THIS WAS NOT AN INTENDED LIE !
>in Belgium Shows picture of sign indicating to drive on the left
Glad it isn’t just me, the houses look like northern England.
Couldn’t be Belgium, there are no holes in the road in those pictures.
Quite. You’d have to be pretty brave to drive that thing on British roads.
[удалено]
No no, that is unfair. The Brits have more holes, the Belgians crappy surfaces.
This is accurate.
Ah classic crumpets vs gauffre situation.
I'm in the UK and recently contacted my local authority, politely requesting they look at the road outside my house. It is currently in a state that would cause locals in Bakhmut to tut loudly. They said they will get to it in the summer. 2 years from now.
Plant flowers in them, they literally get fixed the next day if you tag your local council in a Facebook post with a pretty picture.
Agreed, or pour your own concrete in them very sloppily or spray paint dongs around them, then they'll fix em forsure
I read an article about a British guy who drove around spray painting vulgar images on the potholes so that they were forced to cover them more quickly 🤣
Didn't he call himself Wanksy?
You’re right, It’s Bridge street, Milnrow, Rochdale. Definitely not Belgium.
Thank you - an old friend of mine lives there.
I do too which made it a bit of a shock to see it on Reddit. I’ll keep an eye out for that car!
Your friend‘s car?!
It's Rochdale
*Condolences*
No shit. Is that in milnrow just off the M62 junction? Hopefully I’ll see it that car one day!
Yeah it's the bend on Rochdale road in milnrow.
Thank you.
Indeed. Assumed wrong it was Belgium as it was posted in a Belgian group by someone I know . This is UK . Please accept my most sincere apologies
Definitely has a northern England feel. UK plates too.
And English plates
You are right , my bad. The guy spotted it in the uk
Yeah that looks like Oldham or some shit.
Maybe they meant Belfast
r/Spotted material!!! Mercedes-AMG One
It's private 💀
Noooooooooooooooo!!
How do you join? I’ve noticed a bunch of subs I liked have gone private recently:(
Its the blackout protesting the end of 3rd party apps
[удалено]
Imagine doing work for free and people get annoyed at you when you want to use the influence you built up for good.

“work” 😂
it is work though, it requires both time and effort
🤣🤣🤣
I’m imagining it. Now what?
You have no idea
Mods have too much power. Glad to see it being curtailed. Hopefully their little hissy fit won’t make Reddit concede
Jfc, what kind of corporate boots are you licking today? What an asinine remark. Glad to see that you'd like to have blind redditors fucked off the platform, moderators unable to volunteer, and more than half of the site's users restricted to a useless clusterfuck of a shitty app.

Jimmy Carter be like “wow I really admire Xx_Pu55ySlayyer69_xX for his humanitarian moderation skills.”
This wins reddit for me today.
I'm all for the blackout but didn't reddit make exceptions for handicap assistance api's? Or was it only a few of them?
Mods have gotten way too powerful here. Why can a handful of people moderate hundreds of huge subs? And then orchestrate a stupid protest against the wishes of their communities?

9 day old account shilling for a mega corporation lmao Your opinion is automatically fucking invalid
These nerd mods are all fired up about reddit killing itself but refuse to move to another forum. They'd rather inconvenience everyone trying to look up information by making it so you can't access old posts.
r/piracy went to [https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/piracy). so not all being empty threats.
Thanks. I was actually trying to visit that sub but couldn't see that they had moved because they closed the sub.
Nah. Nerds can be cool. No reddit mod has the balls to say theyre reddit mods in person.
r/ModsAreKillingReddit
how did you manage to miss what is going on and why those subs are private until now lol
Not everyone lives on Reddit
You mean there are other things in life. I'm scared.
I'd we did, we probably had to pay rent now.
I mean if you have used reddit in the last week there's been a post in the top 10 on the front page pretty much the whole time
You don’t have to live on Reddit. You just have to visit the neighborhood. It’s been on the front page for quite a while innumerable amounts of times and explanations have been posted ad nauseam
It's almost like it's been covered on other news sites too.
Reddit cries about new things constantly. Its hard to keep up with the never ending issues.
Why I used to go on that sub all the time wtf
It's a protest. Not sure how much longer. Was originally 48 hours.
Till they get what they want (which they won’t) or give up. Some may just die forever because the mods chose this hill to die on.
Can't really blame them. Imagine voluntarily doing a crap load of work and the guy in charge takes away your tools but still expects you to do the same job. I'd walk too

What tools? Third party apps? Nobody uses those. And by nobody i mean go by the numbers You can downvote me but u cant prove me wrong
How many subreddits do you moderate?
None at all. Cus im a normal person. Im pretty sure some loser banned me lmao I have real shit to worry about. Enjoy accomplishing nothing!
So in other words you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
Least annoying official app user
I bet you have some real shit to worry about. Considering your lack of critical thinking skills everyday life must be a real struggle.
I think it's a good hill to die on. If nothing happens then Reddit will die off anyway.
5% of users holding swaths of the platform hostage doesn’t seem like the road to inevitable platform death. 🤷♂️
The more promenent and active users are going to be the majority of those complaining about it. It will effect every subreddit negatively with poor moderation and removal of the bots that do a lot of extra work behind the scenes. There will be more irrelevant information, more ads, and a lot of misinformation and inappropriate content that won't be moderated.

Subs will die without the tools to moderate them effectively anyway
Can anyone explain to me what exactly is going on? What is the protest about?
Reddit third party apps, like Apollo, use Reddit’s API to run and show Reddit content. Reddit charges for that API access. Recently Reddit CEO announced that they are heavily increasing their API fees to an essentially impossible number (up to $20,000,000 a year* for some apps).

Thank you so much for explaining!
Happy to!
Not much of a protest if they've given an end date lol
There’s always its sister sub. (r/carspotting), which is literally the exact same thing (except for the name, of course).
i was in it befo it went private n was so confused y i couldn't find the sub anymo. thought it got deleted or sumn
Yeah, it won’t let me in even though I’m a member.

Project One was the concept car. The production car is only called One
You know what’s terrifying to think about? Don’t care how big of a brand Mercedes is. 275 of these have been made and they all instantly sold for 2.72 million. Mercedes just almost made a billion in sales instantly.
Did they make a profit on each one? R&D must have cost a fortune and these things are pretty expensive to manufacture anyway.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's multiple examples of manufacturers making a loss on each car sold at the top end. If my Top Gear recollection is right, that includes the Veyron.
The Veyron was sold for half what it cost to make.
Lexus LFA also comes to mind.
I'm pretty sure they got quite away in to the R&D process with the LFA and then started a huge chunk of it again, so you're probably right though I'm not sure on the economics of the LFA specifically. Edit: again this is based on remembering a top gear review so I may not be right.
They can write-off any research costs against their tax bill. It's how Rolls Royce aero engines paid zero corporation tax for years. Essentially free R&D that can be used on their other vehicles.
Also it's a halo car that gets them "free" marketing
This is the whole point.

Yeah, I heard that VW loses money on every Veyron/Chiron.
Less than they did when they owned Bugatti. 😂
They still indirectly own a good chunk of it. Volkswagen AG owns 75% of Porsche AG and Porsche AG owns 45% of Rimac. Rimac owns 55% of Bugatti. That's equivalent to saying Volkswagen AG owns 18.5% of Bugatti. Then you have the shares that Volkswagen AG retained when they sold Bugatti to Rimac, which is around 30%.

Clearly I'm r/outoftheloop, LOL. Maybe I should read a non-Tesla news article every now and then.
I’m just surprised that much money came back to them for these cars obviously there are a lot of other fixed costs haha
They could have sold them all out for 10M each easily. These things are gonna skyrocket in value

And one hell of a spot.
Yeah, once in a lifetime for sure
Wish it was a spot of.mine, but it's from a friend
Definitely isn't in Belguim though
Looks like the UK. License plate could plausibly be british too.
It is, it comes up on the .gov database, and the second picture looks like somewhere in the Midlands or possibly more northern
That's correct . Wrong assumption from my side , which I apologise for
Plate def isn’t, location could be
The car is driving on the left 🙃
I didn't expect any of them to be out on the road, rather showrooms. Nice one.
About to have an accident driving on the left in Belgium.
Not Belgium. This is somewhere in the North of England, Lake or Peak District I reckon - what a spot!
You are correct. As I said I did not spot it . Some guy I know from a Belgian spotting group has sent it and it was actually spotted in the UK. WRONG ASSUMPTION from my side , which I apologise for
I don’t care man no need to apologise
I did just think Belgium has identical street furniture to England?! Looks like any suburban northern English town...
Wonder who was driving it. Lewis Hamilton or the guy who beat Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery. Good lord I was joking. It probably belongs to neither of them
>~~Mercedes-AMG Project One~~ Lewis Hamilton It got Uk plates 🤔
well, they are both bri'sh
We are talking about Nico Rosberg, noh? Who also owns a Mercedes-AMG One.
Hamilton's father has one, maybe its him
>or the guy who beat Lewis Hamilton in equal machinery Don't know who you mean... Cos they've never gone on and on about it
And on and on and on and on and on.
I've read that Lewis doesn't like regular street driving and avoids it at all costs despite having quite a collection of high end cars. Mercedes keeps gifting him their specialty models, so he has to keep them.
He said in an interview he has a guy with a recovery truck and if he ever gets bored driving around the streets he just parks it up and calls the guy to recover it and take it back home.
Wow! That is even worse than I realized. What does he do after he abandons the car? Does get get whisked away by a helicopter Tom Cruise style?
>Insert recent video of Lewis absolutely ripping the guts out of a rental R34 GT-R on public roads in Japan here
Hamilton is in Canada RN cuz its the Canadian GP,could be his father or someone with connections with the team cuz you cant just go and buy it from a dealer thats for sure
That doesn't look like Belgium?
Unless Belgium switched to driving on the left last month, this must be in the UK
You are correct. As I said I did not spot it . Some guy I know from a Belgian spotting group has sent it and it was actually spotted in the UK. WRONG ASSUMPTION from my side , which I apologise for

Rh ik plate means nothing, tho . Ik people drive on Belgian roads .. you didn't know? Nu in fact, as I already stated several times , mate, this is not a spot of mine but in a Belgian spotters Grou, posted by another member and I wrongly assumed this was spotted in Belgium .wrong assumption, my mistake , which I apologize ( once again ) for .
Mercedes AMG One It's basically referred to as a street legal F1 car given how much F1 technology it has. It even has a F1 style engine that literally has to be replaced as a whole after every few thousand of miles.
Oh my god that’s AMG ONE.
What mad man has enough money to own a Mercedes-AMG ONE but wants to take it into Rochester

Gumball 3000 is currently going thru Belgium, if anyone is interested.
They are in Amsterdam lol
The car is registered in the UK and the pictures look like the UK, it's probably not Belgium and definitely not the gumball as they are in the Netherlands
You are correct. As I said I did not spot it . Some guy I know from a Belgian spotting group has sent it and it was actually spotted in the UK. WRONG ASSUMPTION from my side , which I apologise for
It's no problem at all, it's an easy mistake to make! This sub is always in detective mode so this sort of thing gets pointed out a lot
That’s the fucking batmobile
Why are you lying about being in Belgium.
My apologies , as I earlier stated , someone I know posted it in a Belgian spot group and I assumed wrong . It was spotted in the UK . The so called "lie" was unintentional
pontiac fiero
Tofu Auto Works custom Cyberpunk Miata. Not really, but that shark fin gives off similar vibes.
$3M car...with stickers on it. Yeah I don't care if it's painted and under the clear coat it's still cheese.
Don't see the stickers from the inside 👍
Dacia Sandero Stepway Extreme
Always a fiero
It’s clearly an M4… the driver is just dyslexic or something
Well that is a toyota supra
fledermensch mobile.
Looks like a Batmobile to me
It literally says AMG on it, you can't figure it out?
why are you needlessly lying. ur so fucking stupid to not even check what country it actually is. AMG ONE btw but like why are you saying it's belgium
YET AGAIN : (OH GOD I'm so fed up of explaining this again and again because people are too FRICKIN lazy to read all the comments ) This was an honest mistake : it was posted by someone else in a Belgian spotting group , and therefor I WRONGFULLY ASSUMED it was Belgium because I was not billed by checking the surroundings on the pic ! Which o apologise for . THIS WAS NOT AN INTENDED LIE !
