I feel like this would only work in New York, but I could be wrong.
There is not a whole lot of honking in Seattle, I'll tell you that much.

Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.

🏴☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

I feel like cars make enough noise even without honking. I am, however, heavily brainwashed by Not Just Bikes. Cities aren't loud, cars are loud.
Isn't this channel the opposite of brainwashing? Haha
That's what any brainwasher would have you believe, isn't it? ;)
One car is not that loud, but a bunch of cars together is very loud. Also, planes are VERY loud. Growing up near air traffic and also living right next to a international airport.
To put it short, Internal Combustion Engines are loud
Nah dude cars are loud. Sitting at a roadside patio is shitty even if it's just a few cars a minute.
Cities are loud even without cars. You still have the trains, busses, and all.
The people screaming at each other.
Doors slamming, the occasional gun shots and more shouting.
The idiot who thinks his shitty music is universally appreciated.
The dumbass whose definition of “inside voice” is more generally “angry drill sergeant”.
If you're in the centre of my city, it really is quite lovely on a summer day. Masses of people, but their sound is calm and not that noisy.
Granted, it's not a huge city on the scale of NYC, but it would still be terribly noisy if 10% of those people had been in cars.
I think part of the key to his success is that the car itself is noisy as hell, which results in more honking.
I went to Chicago with my boss and we were walking to the hotel from the L and he commented how he didn't like all the honking. I told him get used to it in Chicago. I told him if you were a millisecond late in hitting the gas you would get honked at. First uber we took our totally silent chill driver honked his horn several times. He just kept glancing at me like somehow my knowledge of this was the reason for it.
Down here honking at many people sends them into a rage causing them to slow down. I think a show where they took those drivers to big cities like Chicago and put them on the road would be a hit. Watching them get beat up and possible killed doing that shit would get high rating. It would have the added advantage of thinning that snowflake herd from our state.
