Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

This is as American as apple pie. In my city, they made the protected bike lanes so small that they can't get street sweepers in so they're filled with years is shit.
Huh. My city invested in bike-lane sized snow plows and sweepers when they installed the lanes and they’re great!
Some places make the bike lanes car lane sized so emergancy vehicles can use them to go around car congestion
I mean, they do fit a car if you don’t mind only having a 1/2” clearance between the curbs. It’s pretty much a car lane with a line down the middle and those bars that can fold down, but lock in the middle to stop cars from entering.
Not sure I’ve ever seen an emergency vehicle in one.
Those are called bollards. !bollards@lemmy.world
I swear I knew that!

I wish I had real bollards. The best my city will do is those floppy white reflective soft ones thay get flattened by a car the moment they're put up
My house came with a real bollard, a 4" diameter steel pipe embedded in concrete, to protect its corner parking lot. It's amazing how scraped up this thing is. I suppose I should put some kind of reflectors on it, but it's more amusing to imagine dumbasses running into it at the same frequency they drive up on my lawn.
