It's not that it's unsafe to drive in Detroit due to crime, it's just that the automotive industry lobbied hard to make the country car friendly, and that city faced the worst of it.

This scene has nothing to do with car-centric city design

[–] Moneo@lemmy.world 33 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I mean, car centric design is less safe than human centric design. You're safer when there's more people around.

It's the people I'm worried about

But if you're stuck in the woods, do you want to come across a person or a car?

[–] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Does the car have a person in it?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't, but beware it carries a terrible curse...

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

........does it have a bear in the car?

[–] CulturedLout@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

It's toppings contain potassium benzoate

I think in this case it'd be "be were (car)"

[–] jagungal@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

A phone

It's harder to get shanked with people around you in the middle of the street

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

It's people who are going to shank you

I think you should leave

~~Edit: lol guys, for real, how do you not get the joke…? It’s literally the source material for the meme. It’s the name of the show.~~

E2: I think I should leave :(

[–] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

This is from Detroiters, not ITYSL. S01E06 “3rd Floor”.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well now I feel silly.

Also, now I will watch that show. Didn’t know it was a thing.

[–] c0smokram3r@midwest.social 3 points 5 months ago

Don’t be! 😁 definitely give it a watch! Sad they axed it after 2 seasons

[–] crazyCat@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Your downvoter didn’t get your reference sadly!

Only you can fight meme illiteracy

Edit: to be fair, it was actually me who was being meme illiterate

[–] DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 2 points 5 months ago

The meme is from the show Detroiters, but it has many of the same writers/actors
