had a car brain joke about watching bicycle accident videos and i said i watch videos of cars getting obliterated by trains, guy was super pissed at me lmao
What about all those billions we spent on car infrastructure they could have used? All that and they have to slow down the trains?
trying to convice car drivers that highways and one more lane are a black hole for money is often a waste of time sadly
The way that many carbrains speak, it seems that they regard roads as naturally-occurring, geological features. (E.g. the Lemming who argued that pushing for cycling was harmful to people in undeveloped nations, who will have to drive in coming years, because bike lanes are too expensive for their governments to construct.)
cars can drive on dirt and gravel roads just fine, bikes tend to not get enough traction to leave the potholes.
and then everyone clapped, and Albert Einstein gave you a roll of condoms
would be funny but no. no one clapped or aything lel
