Fuck Cars

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

It seemed like a fun bit so I registered the domain. I have nginx running on a server but we need to wait for the dns records to hopefully point things the right way.

So while that's in progress, what should I put on the new site? (keeping in mind the server I got is absolutely tiny because I'm not spending -that- much on a bit, also my website making skills are minimal)

Edit, here's the link for whenever dns goes through: http://www.learnhowtodriveyourbigstupidcaryoudumbfuck.com/

Edit: Got the url to work and hopefully it is redirecting correctly to https. Now to figure out adding things people are suggesting using my 15+ year out of date website making knowledge

English as a second language resources for the southerners

Yeah, the way they say grass, bath, and path is horrendous.

[–] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can almost cope with those in comparison to the pronunciation of ball and wall.

Bawawoo

Wawawoo

Bouncing a ball on a wall?

Barn sing a bawawoo on a wawawoo

I might have exaggerated it a bit, but some of the Southern accents (at least the cockney-ish ones) pronounce "L" at the end of some words as a sort of weird double-W sound, like "wwoow".

I personally find it troubles my ears a bit more than "grarse" and "barth" etc.

[–] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

I've never noticed more than a single "w" sound. It's the "room" to "rum" Home Counties thing that really gets me but I don't hear it as often as the grass bath path thing.

[–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

One of those things is really not like the others.

[–] Michal@programming.dev 29 points 9 months ago

Whatever it is, the UI should be obstructed by parked cars, and site should be slow due to "traffic".

[–] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 15 points 9 months ago

Put up the Canyonero commercial

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Make it redirect to NJB's video about trucks.

@ArmoredThirteen you can point a https://www.netlify.com/ site at it for free

[–] GolfNovemberUniform@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

I know it's boring but I'd actually want to put legit driving lessons and articles and stuff on it. Sus fake ads are not prohibited though

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 6 points 9 months ago

Make the site match the layout of the sign, but have the address at the bottom be a Rick Roll.

A foreboding image of a lone shopping cart

I'd suggest putting the source up on GitHub and create a ci action to publish automatically the main branch. That way people can help you create the website while you also have full controll over what lands. Hit me up if you want help with that.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ooh, I like it. I know how to do that through Jenkins and I've already got a build server running, is there a way to do it just in GitHub and skip all the Jenkins nonsense?

[–] pietervdvn@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, github actions. Or maybe checkout github pages? As long as your website doesn't need an SQL-database, it'll work and will be free

[–] Flipper@feddit.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you have ash access to your hosting server? Also do you want to build using a static site generator?

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago

Ash access?

And I was originally just going to use like notepad++ for a basic page but idk what I'm doing now

[–] Original@beehaw.org 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Any cheesy game you could incorporate? Make it something stupid and fun.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I've been looking to learn Godot and stop being so reliant on Unity. So possibly I could whip something up!

[–] freedumb@programming.dev 5 points 9 months ago

Do it! Godot is great

I return with a new idea: crime scene photos (a big stupid car parked in front of my my small ULEV hit it backing out)
