In front of a bike shop in their parking area! Where I was told to try out the bike I was going to buy! All while I couldn’t hear myself think because multiple cars driving on the nearby road had illegally modified their vehicles to be as loud as possible.

I don’t think you’re mentally sound enough to be in public.

I’m not so sure you should be giving advice about when it’s acceptable to be in public.

Foolish pedestrians. Don’t you realize that the outdoors are for cars? You shouldn’t be allowed to exit your home unless you immediately enter an automobile.

If only we could build something that could seperate cars from people. Some kind of pedestrian lane perhaps? One that doesn’t encourage many points of conflict between cars?

Nah lets slap some concrete down next to road and neglect to fix it whenever we resurface the road.

That’s a classic carbrain bias shortcut. The driver think: there is no car, I can go, instead of: there is no {bike, motorbike, child, rock, car, anything } so I can go.

This in my opinion is a good reason to have bylaws that enforce backing into parking spots. You can ensure the spot is clear as you approach, back in, then ensure it is clear when you leave.

Fuck Cars

Create post

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

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

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.
