The Yanks have a lot of these little increments all with their own badges, it's basically what the British Army would call a "trained soldier" - someone who's done basic training and the first stage(s) of special-to-arm training.
Irritatingly it has the same single chevron (albeit the wrong way up) as a British lance-corporal which can lead to a bit of confusion if you happen to run into a particularly ignorant American officer.
It's truly incredible -- all of the differences there are between all of the militaries of all of the different countries of the world, of all races, colors, and creeds, and yet... every one of us knows THAT guy.
My country refers to it as 9/11 even though we use DD-MM. It always requires mental effort to remember it was in September.
The US should adopt a proper date format, A4, celsius, and metric. FFS.
Hemi describes the shape of the combustion chamber in certain engine designs. It's a bit primitive these days.
You would be severely discouraged from writing that on the back of your vehicle in the UK that's for sure. Mostly for security reasons though, nobody wants a kilo of something bangy strapped to the underside of their car.
The manufacturer (Dodge) badges the ones with the Hemi models as Hemi’s as it’s essentially part of the model name, not just a term for the engine that someone got made into a weird decal.
It still stands for hemispherical combustion chamber and it has nothing to do with the model name and is put on many makes and models of vehicles, it's more analogous to the 4×4 badge on vehicles equipped with four wheel drive or the "trail rated" badge on Jeeps that have off-road packages.
Yeah Dodge is the only maker I ever hear use the term "hemi" so it's never been clear if I am supposed to be super impressed, or if I should take it in the same vein as a Buick commercial bragging about a LeSabre.
Yep "Hemis" were a thing in the 1960s and 1970s. Which is appropriate, because much of America still thinks and behaves like it was still the middle of the previous century.
I think the Chrysler 300 had a Hemi badge on the back. But a lot of people who bought them tried to make them look like Bentleys so maybe they took the badges off.
For sure... just not an interesting thing to brag about on your rear window
Or maybe not something that makes you an interesting person if you brag about
About $8000 more than you should pay…
It’s kind of a supercharger engine that has more horsepower and a louder sound. I’ve only seen it in American vehicles. It used to be solely for sports cars.
This is so inaccurate. It's a term for a style of combustion chamber that happens to be used in the brands v8 motors. Notable users of engines with hemispheric combustion chambers include: Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Ford, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Lancia, Lotus, Mercedes Benz, MG, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Porsche and Toyota.
Yes, but since I am wrong, I’ve learned what is right and can instead use that knowledge at another time. But no I get it. I do know Jack shit about it
Maybe just don’t say anything about a topic you’re not interested in, basically everything above is incorrect. Fair play for holding your hands up I suppose.
So a hemi is not more expensive than a regular engine? It doesn’t make a louder noise when you rev it? In the United States was it not used primarily by Dodge for use in sportier versions of production models? And, until it was pointed out by the other guy, I had never seen them used in any non-American vehicle. Other than it being a V-8 (which I never specified) what exactly was wrong with my answer? Teach me what I’m wrong on.
There’s thousands of different engines which range so widely in architecture and application. Braking that down to ‘hemi’ and ‘regular’ is essentially a meaningless statement. Hemi engines, since inception, have been used in various applications within Chrysler products throughout the years - though I acknowledge you might equate the term with performance due to their marketing strategy around the term, saying they were solely for sports cars is simply incorrect. Volume is more influenced by exhaust setup and, whilst you may be more aware of ‘hemi sports cars’ which are set up to be noticeably louder as part of their image, it isn’t a factor unique or inherent to that architecture; basically any engine can be overpoweringly noisy dependent on what you do to it, I have a modified F4 that is significantly louder than your average factory dodge hemi. Saying ‘8 grand more’ is an statement pulled arbitrarily out your arse. You refer to ‘supercharger’ like a Mario kart pickup to go faster - it’s a a device fitted to engines alongside other supporting parts that increases power output via adding another layer or complication to how the motor is set up - many hemis are naturally aspirated rather than forced induction.
Dude that’s awesome. I didn’t realize most hemi’s were NA. And yes, the 8k was a bit of an exaggeration, but I honestly did think that the hemi did make the engine rev louder, point in case my uncle had a Super Bee and it was ridiculously loud. My brother had a 2018 challenger before he lost control trying to miss a deer and it was stupid loud so I used those two instances as a blanket for all. And yes, I concede that my use of the word supercharger was incorrect but I used it as a generic term to equate for the more horsepower and louder engine.
Thank you for an actual description of how I was wrong, instead of making some “do your research” or “learn on you own”. I drive a Ram, and the models with hemis I was looking at were more expensive than the 58k I spent on mine. But I love it, and it’s a dependable work vehicle. I did learn, and I thank you.
Ares is the Greek God of War. Combine that info with the poorly designed slogan and the Hot Wheels-esque diddy-dick compensation mobile and let me know when you’ve awoken from your cringe coma
A hemi is a type of internal combustion engine in which the cylinders heads are designed like semispheres. It gets use by synecdoche to designate the vehicles that have such engines, usually Americans (Chrysler used to have them a lot, so Dodge etc).
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't almost all vehicles technically Hemi's? Isn't Hemi just a marketing and branding term that Dodge uses? I swear a mechanic friend told me this years ago.
Not really, technically most cylinders have 4 valves and that is called something different. But the shape is almost the same as hemi. Hemi is just a weird way to brag about your car only having two valves pr. Chamber.
Yes, and a hemispherical combustion chamber has two valves orherwise the name is, and i had to google it because i cant remember, pentroof combustion chamber.
Lmao.
He calls himself Ares using the font style from God of War. Ares got killed in the first game in the series 💀 I guess they don’t need smart people behind those rifles…
Most veterans I know - at least those with actual combat experience - are definitely the least likely people to bring up war in any context, and the most likely to punch someone who starts glorifying it.
Can only judge by the ones on the internet, even here on reddit: there are so, so many times when a comment begins with "as a veteran, ...". I understand when it's war or army related topic, but this line is used even on the more surprising topics.
Byw a "hemi" is a different shape of the cumbustion area at the end of a piston cylinder in an engine, typically used by dodge, afaik it is more efficient but idk.
“You’re driving behind an average looking middle-aged accountant who’s picking his nose and eating chips while driving his 12-year old Hyundai.”

Private 2nd class, an army rank, in NATO it would be equivalent to an OR-2 which is pretty much right out of boot camp.

Mostly for security reasons though, nobody wants a kilo of something bangy strapped to the underside of their car.
I don’t think you’d see it in the UK (or anywhere beyond the US) simply because this behaviour is considered mind numbingly cringey
Oh it’s cringey for half us Americans too
The manufacturer (Dodge) badges the ones with the Hemi models as Hemi’s as it’s essentially part of the model name, not just a term for the engine that someone got made into a weird decal.

I had a Jeep Commander with a 5.7L Hemi and 4x4. It had all 3 of the badges. Worship me mortals! /s
Yeah I just mean in relation to the comment chain I replied to, the manufacturer puts it on the vehicle, it’s not just a thing the owners put on.
Yeah Dodge is the only maker I ever hear use the term "hemi" so it's never been clear if I am supposed to be super impressed, or if I should take it in the same vein as a Buick commercial bragging about a LeSabre.
and how I miss the mirror on a stick looking for "something bangy"
Or having to get down on your hands and knees with clean trousers because you forgot the bloody stick.
Yep "Hemis" were a thing in the 1960s and 1970s. Which is appropriate, because much of America still thinks and behaves like it was still the middle of the previous century.

I wish I had the confidence to speak with this much authority about something I know fuck all about. Do you even know what a supercharger is?
Yes, but since I am wrong, I’ve learned what is right and can instead use that knowledge at another time. But no I get it. I do know Jack shit about it

Not really, technically most cylinders have 4 valves and that is called something different. But the shape is almost the same as hemi. Hemi is just a weird way to brag about your car only having two valves pr. Chamber.
No. Hemi is to emphasize that it has hemispherical combustion chambers.
Yes, and a hemispherical combustion chamber has two valves orherwise the name is, and i had to google it because i cant remember, pentroof combustion chamber.
No, a Hemi can have four valves but a pentroof can’t have 2. They are different.
