Too bad.

Was he fined 10 times the car was worth and forbidden from driving anything more complicated than a lawnmower for a decade?

I feel like something like this should have a steel structure the same shape or a little smaller on either side so that if a dumbass like this tries to get through with too big of a car they just damage the car not the tree. Kinda like those things before parking garages or drive thoughs for height, but on the sides

Or, what if we just don't drive through trees at all?! Like, walk through, bike through, but not drive through. This living tree looks like it has been carved out more than it originally naturally was to specifically accommodate cars?! This munter didn't just gently scrape their wing mirror, they tore it almost completely off by grinding it against the interior of the tree!? Fuck cars! And fuck this specific car and its owners! I hope they enjoy their repair bill!

I love the idea of armored trees.

[-] astropenguin5@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I was more of thinking a little ways from the tree, but on the tree would look cooler

Also maybe make it pointy so it would shear off excess material to make a tree-hole-shaped-car lol

I mean, it makes it sound like he crashed into the tree. He scrapped his car mirror off into the tree. Dumb but that tree has seen a lot worse, stop with the damn clickbait

[-] G32@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The driver is an idiot, but then there was the guy who thought it was a good idea to build a road through that tree.

[-] sky@codesink.io 2 points 1 year ago

try looking at the name of the community you’re commenting in loooool

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You mean fuck cars, like I said? Doesn’t excuse op for his clickbait bullshit, as there are plenty of real problems with cars to talk about.

Things like this discredit the argument, as the naysayers can point to posts like this and say “see? They’re just full of shit why listen to them?”

as there are plenty of real problems with cars to talk about.

Cars and car infrastructure is ruining various natural areas, the ones that are left, and most semi-natural ones on land. Cars and car roads are the first wounds in intact land ecosystems, they make room for infection that ruins habitats.

Do you want some reading? I have a bunch of nice peer-reviewed articles on how cars need to fuck off from wild and semi-wild areas.

[-] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

You should make a post about that instead

I love how everyone here is more or less on the same side but still kicking each other in the shins what the appropriate level of anger is.

[-] veganpizza69@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't actually like it when everyone agrees with me. It's... useless. I prefer dialectical friction.

[-] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Of course it was a SUV...

[-] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I'm sure it was the tree's fault. 🙃

The only thing damaged was the passenger side mirror. I’m sure it happens all the time there.

[-] farttoilet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What an awful comment section.
