I used to own a bigass cargo bike trailer and would do all my shopping with it on the bike. Worst part was all the dudes laughing their rear end off at me every time I loaded it up at home depot.

Those dudes are all now dead of covid, looks like I get the last laugh

It's funny that in this context a powerful, sexy body is considered lame next to a fat, lazy body that can only transport itself with an outsized combustion engine.

it's just literal might is right. Might in this sense being having a multiton vehicle you could maim or kill someone with at a moments notice, in addition to the justice system completely having your back should you do so

I imagine the highway was gradually expanded until it was right on their doorstep. I don't feel bad for that person, but I always hate to see an old farmhouse next to a busy multilane road.

lol I remember I posted a thread in DnD 14 years ago that listed all the truly lovely things car culture has wrought upon us, not the least of which is the fact that they represent billions of little terraforming engines spewing CO2 into the atmosphere

at the end of the thread I asked, “Should we regulate and shun cars like we did cigarettes?”

it got five very hostile replies before the thread dropped off the front page and into oblivion

glad to see that things have changed a little bit since then

this could revolutionize transportation than electric cars ever could. americans would never go for it though.

small alternatives to full-sized cars have been around for decades, but big business isn't pushing them, cities aren't designing for them, and people aren't buying them. seems like better designed cities would solve both of the other problems.

yeah the problem in us cities with bicycles as a primary mode of transport is the winter and the rain. throw some fairings and an extra wheel or two on an e-bike and they're viable every day of the year

it would never happen though and they'd be more dangerous on roads with cars than regular bicycles

A fishperson in an intimidating hat!

i did a humvee rollover simulator before deploying, in 2006, and boy howdy i tell you what, we sure learned that we're absolutely all going to die if we're in a guntruck which is rolling over

also nobody was allowed to ride in the gunner swing for the drill, they just said something like "well we all know what's going to happen to the gunner" (i was a gunner the whole time on deployment, whee)

also also we had to wear not seatbelts, which vehicle crews don't wear into combat, but like restraint harnesses, and even still when we were sideways i almost dislocated the knee of the dude next to me with the weight of my legs hitting him

also also also it rolled over Very Slowly, like vehicles in an accident (or explosion) don't, to reduce the risk of injury to us

everyone went through it exactly once, the whole process from getting in to getting out was maybe 5 minutes. glad to see the long tradition of absolutely useless training and demo hardware has been communicated from the DoD to pigs
