Nfntordr, in How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

Well, we just finally got one because 3 kids…

nosurprises,

Are your kids mammoths?

HelloHotel,
@HelloHotel@lemmy.world avatar

Forced into it likely, when you have 5 people and your options are 3 + bed, 4, and 8. Your forced to pick 8.

Nfntordr,

Totally a choice that we made together that I’m very much enjoying and so are the kids.

Draedron,

Ahhh ok. You are just part of the problem.

Nfntordr,

Happy to be part of your made up problem ;0)

HelloHotel,

If your happy, godspeed my friend.

Nfntordr,

No but their no longer crammed up shoulder to shoulder,.oh yes let’s not forget the car seat for the toddler and the ever growing 11 year old. What kind fucking stupid comment is that?

user224, in [discussion] Bus commuters of Lemmy, do you use bars or handles?
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Bars. They don’t move (usually).

HerbalGamer, in Tier list

let’s push those yachts and private jets down a few levels while we’re at it.

NarrativeBear, in [video] 10 Steps to a Stunning Car-Free Street | Oh The Urbanity!

Wish more cities in north america would have “destination streets” like this year round.

Instead all we have is Walmart parking lots that look the same everywhere with no personality of sense of community.

Great job on the cities that do make this work and see the need for it.

JoShmoe, in throw a dollar, Sierra's on the pole

This is beautiful. Throw more money!

We have a “special infrastructure” around here… we call it “guess from which way will they run you over”:

grue,

I especially liked the part around 0:30 where the bike lane that was colored red for better visibility stopped being colored at the conflict point, which is the most important place for the color to be.

jarfil, (edited )

It’s… kind of justified: the red lane means “forbidden for cars to enter”, while the yellow slashed means “may enter, but forbidden to obstruct”. The fun part is how bikers have to go straight into the incoming traffic.

There are other funny infrastructures elsewhere, where the “bike lane” is painted in white right in the middle of the road, as in “let’s bikes and cars and buses share the same lane”… and then they put speed bumps on it. What could go wrong, right?

grue,

Yeah, I realized that after posting. Still, IMO it ought to be the other way around, like the top example here.

jarfil,

That’s a decent reference. I think, since in this case they’re painting the whole “bikes only” lanes, the conflict areas should use the dashed option.

Looking now through Google Earth, I’ve noticed some other bad places, like where the bike lane crosses some tram rails, with no sign of any kind at all.

On the bight side… it used to be even worse. 🤷

Remember, if there is no bike lane, then bikes get a spot in the car lane. Yes, cars are supposed to be respectful when they pass, and only do so when a passing lane is free.

They don’t and even motorcycles are pressured to move. (And curiosly, small cars are ignored by bigger cars).

ultratiem, in this is all
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

People people. We need to solve the problem of cars by building bigger cars!

stevedidWHAT,
@stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah man if you solution doesn’t completely solve the problem, fuck it! Throw it away it must be entirely useless right. No merit. And plus we have all the time in the world to wait until we have a perfect solution right? Duh!

/s

Destraight,

No that’s not it. They need to be smaller

ultratiem,
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

Well if they get smaller we’ll need more of em!

Foofighter,

With the exclamation mark, it’s obvious to me that this is sarcasm. However Lemmings seem to take anything not marked with /s seriously or interpret things in the most negative way to the degree that I’m starting to question myself.

This is sarcasm right?

CADmonkey, in No Baby On Board

Yes, I imagine every single woman who goes for an abortion must look heavily pregnant.

My worry is someone will point this out to them and then they’ll have to stop every car with a woman in it.

Rukmer, in ask patrick

Even if we kept the car way of life (not saying we should) doesn’t it seem like there are way too many cars being produced? Like how many new cars do we really need every year? I honestly do not know the numbers, I’m just saying it sure seems like this many brand new cars don’t need to exist.

stevedidWHAT,
@stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world avatar

I mean

We made produce useless shit fucking all over the world nonstop, the stuff with functionality to me is like a drop in the bucket. How many stupid fucking packaging materials are in the guts of fishes because little Cindy wanted to get a W this year with her daughter and decided to buy her a pack of miniature plastic foods

Pisses me off man

lemmyseizethemeans, in ask patrick

I’d like to slap the 7 people that downvoted this with a fish

Nacktmull,
@Nacktmull@lemmy.world avatar

Make than an old, rotten fish please!

lemmyseizethemeans,

Or just a silly monty python fish. How anyone could be against public transportation is so beyond me

dragonflyteaparty,

Omg, my father-in-law rails against it because it would allow, gasp, homeless people to move around and maybe, the horror, come to our neighborhoods.

RinseDrizzle, in [meme] How would you rather see this land developed?

I mean, yeah, apartments and such should be widely available. Awesome for high population areas, young folks, temporary housing situations, etc. Had a flat for years and will for at least a few more. However, as a drummer (and general loud music enthusiast) I am very ready to get out of the flat and get into a proper house with a basement, garage, patio for grilling with da boyes, etc.

A good mix of both is ideal. I sure wish we took better measures to mitigate the insane housing prices tho’. Sick of thin walls and and a single room trying to replace 4 rooms.

10_0, in [meme] How would you rather see this land developed?

And they look like they were made in 2000s oppressive architecture

jimbo, in [meme] How would you rather see this land developed?

Looks around at all the houses

I think we have our answer already.

bluemite,

Why aren’t there any trees around the houses?

peanutdust, in [meme] How would you rather see this land developed?

Do both import 100% of the goods?

5714,

Why?

peanutdust,

Being reliant on boats is sorta the same thing as cars i guess.

5714,

I think it is depicted as an island to limit arguments like ‘Why not both?’, ‘Just expand’ etc.

IHateReddit,

No, on the island with the apartments, there is space for agriculture etc

peanutdust,

The houses could grow stuff also but they might be in a homeowners association banning gardens and solar panels. The apartment has designated that land as a park bc the owner is a real dick and owns the only store.
