Neat.

This is what I keep telling to the car brains who are against building trams, buses and whatnot. Its been quite successful. “Don’t you want all those morons who drive 3km/h under the limit and on the left lane, to use the bus?”

But that name has the same problem as “defund the police.” People just see the title and make their conclusions from it without looking inside and thinking about it too much. Though I gotta say, the reddit fuckcars was a bit unhinged at times, a few times I visited that place, they were nearly demanding lynching of people who happened to own a car. But thats also partly the fault of reddit being a bit mad at times.

Aanyways, the past couple years, as I’ve aged 200 years, I’ve come to the conclusion that going to extremes with anything is really unhealthy for you. Like… yes, go vegan. But don’t spit on someone if they eat a sausage. Use bicycles and public trans, but don’t throw milkshakes on a guy driving his Yaris. Make sure you don’t litter, but don’t push a guy under a bus because they accidentally dropped a candy wrapper. Don’t waste food, but also don’t force someone to eat moldy food just because they forgot grandmas gravy in the fridge for 3 months.

I try to stay away from these fuckXYZ communities. They always start as a funny pretend-extreme way, but they pretty much always end up dropping the pretense and become actually toxic. Full disclosure, I haven’t checked the lemmy fuckcars, they are probably nice and chill people.

Hear hear.

Its a small miracle that we can do hundreds of thousands of kilometers with these engines without major problems. Knowing how complex they are and how small and weak some of the parts are, I’m baffled that they aren’t constantly dismantling rapidly into thousands of pieces

I gotta say. I’m a car enthusiast. I love cars and the combustion engine. I’m one of those people who loves Top Gear/Grand Tour. I watch rally, F1, WEC and others. Annoying, stupid little things but I love them.

However. I support any and all efforts to build public transportation, bike lanes, walkable cities. I will never complain about fuel being expensive or regulations that limit my ability to drive a ICE car. I won’t shed a tear if the ICE is banned completely. Anyone who does is a short sighted moron.

Anyway, lets bomb more of russian oil infrastructure and let the petrol heads cry.

To Ukraine: Please keep up the good work, bomb russia more please and thank you. I don’t care if a couple of your drones gets a bit lost and drops in my country, good practice for our air defenses. I don’t care if the fuel price goes trough the roof, summer is coming, I have a bicycle, I can walk.

I don’t think they do that any longer.

I wouldn’t know. I haven’t really listened to (music) radio since I realized audiobooks and podcasts were a thing, about 15-20 years ago :D

I had a bunch of c-cassettes where every song started with the radio DJ talking over the intro and ended with the radio DJ or a commercial starting to play over it. Thank god for cd-r, that cassette thing didn’t last too long. It was pretty annoying to wait 40-60minutes for the song you wanted to start playing and often it would be ruined by the radio DJ talking endlessly over it.

It is, you can download a boat.

Probably.
