Oh look, another anti-car meme from someone who clearly doesn't understand cars. Keep it up, Lemmy. One day your relentless negativity will achieve something, and I'll laugh all the way to my grave because it'll be the exact opposite of what y'all wanted.
- But you understand cars right? Pray tell, what is wrong about this post. We all obviously need your divine knowledge, ofc which I presume will also have cited sources right.
  
  Bike 45 miles each way to work and tell me it's still a viable solution for everyone, everywhere.
  Try to build a rail network that adequately covers 3.8 million square miles without driving your country into blinding debt.
  Tell me that I need to haul a cello that I value more than my own life in the rain.
  Squeeze enough groceries for a family of four to eat for a week into bicycle saddlebags.
  But as I mentioned elsewhere, the more smug and sour you act, the more the average person is going to oppose you simply because you're an absolutely insufferable asshole. Then again, if you had social skills, you probably wouldn't be here in the first place because you'd have friends (and maybe a fucking clue).
  Go eat uranium, you smug piece of shit.
- Hmmm what future do I want?
  
  I'm guessing a weird and impossible one if you don't accept the obvious benefits of electric cars
  
  Whatever it is, being smug, sour, and ignorant about it is going to get people to oppose you on principle alone.
  
  Sounds like a lot of assumptions on your part about what I think.
  
  I'm referring to the meme you posted, but ok. My statement also applies regardless of topic, so I don't know what to tell you.
