Sorry, the image failed to upload. I replaced it with a url to imgur. There was a photo of a pile of ghost bikes and Google made a suggested caption of "zoom zoom".
Use catbox.moe please, it's much better.
That url sounds cringe af, but I'll give it a look
It's a great free file hosting service
It is a great image host
That doesn't seem to exist, or at least be reachable from NL.
I did find a brand called Ghost Bikes ( https://www.ghost-bikes.com ) but I think this refers to these type
There are over 150 white-painted bicycles chained up throughout New York City. Each bike represents a cyclist killed in traffic - each is placed at the scene of the crash.
I think it exists anywhere in the world, but if you have strict browser settings the url might not load because it's not a secure link. And yes, ghost bikes are memorials to cyclists killed in traffic. So the "zoom zoom" caption comes off as morbid.
Why is “Zoom zoom” a problem?
EDIT It suggested “Zoom zoom” on a bicycle accident memorial, which can be seen as insensitive as it could hint at either the cyclist or someone else carelessly “zooming” ahead too fast.
