I get you. The people just aren't ready to hear this. We're way over our carrying capacity. If you refute this, child, open your eyes. Reality is more than numbers.
But think of the children! How will the poor children get their healthy dose of microplastics into their lungs, if not through breathing in particles from tyre wear?
In a way you have to appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity that goes into a project like that. But the result and the consequences are really a weird thing to be proud off
Unapologetically I love that top image.
You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible
Hot pink with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (Yeah)
And I'm gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin' one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those greaseball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I'm gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain't a goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why? Because we've got the bomb, that's why
Two words: nuclear fucking weapons, okay?
maybe where you live. closest train station is an hour away from me.
closest bus stop is an hour away from me
riding a bicycle would make my hour long commute two hours.
if I drove to a bus stop and rode a bus the rest of the way to work it would still take me two hours.
it's always a black or white solution with you people and you never think of the grey area. dare I say at least 50% of the US population falls into the grey. if a solution fails to accommodate for more than half a population it's not a solution, it's just ineffective.
Average walking speed is 4km/h. So in four hours, you'd go 16km. If it takes you an hour to go 16km by car, then you'd literally be faster on a bike, because you can go past traffic without stopping
you're right, speeds and distance are variable dependent on multiple external sources. Traffic, weather, time of day, windspeed, direction of travel, temperature.
should I also account for those or is it ok to just use average values?
This reminds me of Cities: Skylines.
Top picture is when you create spaghetti.
Bottom picture is how I started my first map. I had no idea what I was doing and connected a big road directly to the highway at the starting point.

Just because they built one tunnel, doesn't make Düsseldorf a pedestrian or cycling friendly city. The opposite is very much true.

Ok, fuck car infrastructure, but why are the images in the panels switched/mislabeled? Some Asian joke?
The giant intersection is obv China (looked it up - Guiyang) and the not-that-planned-out is India (Mira-Bhayandar).

The engineering is incredible. Imagine if it had been applied to a better purpose.
Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 233d
engineering incredible until it has a slight earthquake, and realize government officials embezzled the money meant for safe infrastructure

That's what fucks me up. Imagine what could've been. Same with that stupid line they build in the sand that's gonna be a data center now apparently.

Fuck this, I'd rather see less of this and more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Stroads in particular are one of man's worst inventions IMO.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · -5 pts · 233d
personally I would rather turn a hour long commute across state lines into a four hour long walk.
think of how thick my calves would be!
Themosthighstrange@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 233d
trains, busses, and bikes exist
DFX4509B@lemmy.wtf · 4 pts · 233d
That and I was talking more about infrastructure where you could easily walk to places too instead of having to drive everywhere

it always interesting to people who say 'with current levels of funding'.
because taxes should be going to give you a closer train stop.....
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 233d
they should, but that's not the reality we live in.

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 233d
60mph, takes an hour, 60 miles distance.
that's around 97km.
I guess my math was wrong, at 4km/h it would take me 24 hours, not 4.
👍 thanks!
edit: why the downvotes? the math checks out.
Almacca@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 231d
Go and look up what the actual average commute speeds are in any city you care to mention. No-one's travelling at 60mph the entire distance.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 231d
you're right, speeds and distance are variable dependent on multiple external sources. Traffic, weather, time of day, windspeed, direction of travel, temperature.

Id rather have the cars drive above and have nature in the ground, but I also kinda enjoy being under overpasses so I know I'm weird
