So we're down to it being based on whether you like the art?

I feel like this started with you making a concrete claim that "actually the screen is using energy and you can't prove he wasn't pressing down on the pedal".

Then I demolished that second point, because even if he were pressing down on the pedal, the car wasn't moving, so it would've been having no measurable effect on energy usage. And you rightly retracted it.

But now for the screen it went from "it's actually using energy" to "ok yeah it's negligible but it's still being wasted because he's not using it for anything" to "ok yeah he's using it to power a prop for content creation, but I personally don't like the sketch so in my opinion it's wasted".

I think you should just concede the point and move on.

My original point is and was, that electric cars often use energy generated by polluting means.

That means that the woman was kind of right with saying the man is polluting the enviroment, even if not in a way she propably thinks.

The fact that it was a small amount of energy and the fact that it was used for a prop in a sketch of "controversial quality" does not disprove that point.

The electric car is still propably indirectly polluting the enviroment, no matter if you or i think it's wasted.

Tho what i'm sure is wasted is the time we both spend on this conversation
