Fuck Cars

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

This community exists for the following reasons:

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.

Priorities for the libs

Read that last bit and think of all the accidents these things drove people into, just to 'hand off' control .5 seconds before impact.

If we had a real government, Tesla would be in public hearings TODAY.

I'm thinking about how many man-hours and tax dollars go toward status symbols rather than humans.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago (4 children)

oof that'll leave you miserable.

similarly, the coal rollers: they pay extra to modify their shitwagons to intentionally run BADLY, inefficiently, so they spew clouds of partially combusted fuel. their children and grandchildren will all suffer for every time these things roll down the block. and they don't care, they think gas costs too much (!?) as they cash their social security checks.

future generations will despise our society.

I think you should be allowed to shoot coal rollers dead. it's self defense

[–] [email protected] 1 points 46 minutes ago

God I swear the cognitive dissonance of people who chose huge vehicles and then complain about gas prices. we know, that's why we are more efficient in our travel

[–] [email protected] 1 points 48 minutes ago

Not miserable. I've accepted this is what it is and am prodding my brain for workable solutions since activation is spotty, at best. Looking for ways to achieve this, beyond activation, which is still the best shot, but with so few unable or unwilling, what can be added to mobilization/bodies on the streets?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 49 minutes ago

it also causes wearing and scoring of the cylinder walls as the fuel/air ratio is so biased that the injectors wash the oil off the parts inside the engine. this actually wears the engine out very quickly and causes it to lose power. they're literally destroying otherwise fine engines just to be assholes.

A crash is counted as on autopilot if it occurs within a few seconds of autopilot disengaging.

a lot of good it is if it's going to get people into no-win situations because musk thinks optical only is a viable solution for the exceptionally complex problem.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Musk, the owner of X, said on Monday that his companies "make great products that people love and I've never physically hurt anyone, so why the hate and violence against me?"

"Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls," Musk said on X.

Great that they quote Musk but dont even give a single sentence to an attempt at explaining the possible motivation behind these attacks. I know it, they know it, but apparently its forbidden knowledge just like when Luigi did his thing.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm calling humans parasites...

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

Well no he is calling them "controlled by parasites". Either way, dude is becoming more deranged every day.

Replace woke with "not being an arsehole"

Trump Derangement Syndrome

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

So he just outright admits he's against basic human development and decency, sounds like a good thing to despise

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It's really invigorating seeing this. This happens all over the western world! Nazi cunt Musk finally seeing the consequences of his actions. Insurance hiking on Tesla's, Tesla stock diving 50%, people vandalizing Tesla's, attacks and protests at Tesla dealerships.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

As long as the small people don't get hurt. But when this happens it is them who will bear it instead of the Musks of the world.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

BURN THEM ALL TO THE FUCKING GROUND.

I learned that brake cleaner can damage both paint and clear coat.

Don't ask questions.

Tomato juice is more excusable to carry about, albeit slower acting
