Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

MODERATORS
These days, though, clowns tend to be the sole occupant of an absurdly large pickup truck π€‘
The average car transports 1.2 people
That only accounts for cars that fit in a single standard parking spot. It ignores the idiot taking up four spots for his precious sports car (that he brought to Walmart), large trucks/SUVs, or people who double park because lines don't make sense to them.
Bikes are a lot smaller than cars
Proposal, we make ridiculously oversized bikes.
Way ahead of you there.
Canβt decide if this is a huge bike or a tiny car.
Yes.
Still not as big as a car. Think bigger!
Yes, that was the point of the post.
I'm sorry, I don't follow....say what now?
Sometimes
And the range is a problem, if your time is limited.
Bikeable cities, e-bikes, public transit, and of these or combinations really should be enough for people to get around a city.
I need to go 40km to work. It's 30min by car. And 90min by public transportation. I don't want to waste 3 hours a day when I can waste 1 hour.
With a less car-centric design, you probably wouldn't have to live so far from work and there'd be more space and money for improved public transit efficiency. Hypothetically speaking... of course this will never actually happen. We'll just keep making larger and larger roads, spreading out farther and farther, and requiring more people to drive further, increasing the demand for more larger roads. But of course certain kinds of work would never be put in the middle of a city, and would be less efficient to get to as a result.
In my city, though, a nice possible medium is bike + transit. Usually this enables much more efficient use of public transit. Instead of Walk - wait - bus - wait - bus - walk its more like ride - wait - bus - ride. Cutting out that transfer and increasing the speed of getting to and from the transit line makes for much more efficient mobility, even on moderate length trips.
"This parking space fits between -70 and 70 cars"
Just think how many shoes would fit.
Who need shoes
La jeunesse emmerde les bagnoles !
Ohlala peuchère, ta mob est en panne? Allez viens, je t'emmène faire les courses en tandem.
+/- 20 cars
Er⦠the first row of fine has 18 cars.
I mean fuck cars, no doubt, but thereβs no need to falsify the comparison to make the point.
I read 70.
