What's the weirdest thing you're upset about?
-
I get a bit frustrated sometimes to see stars and think of the universe burning away it's entropy without anyone putting it to useful ends, like most of the universe going to waste before anyone can even reach it.
Imagine all the cool planets that'll never be observed
-
banning permanent lights aimed at the sky would allow millions more people to see stars at night with no downsides. but nobody seems to care.
During covid or right after they turned off every other street light to save energy. It was great, they turned them off after 22h or something. Pretty much everyone hated it for no reasons. "It's dangerous for the children."
The children that plat on the streets in the middle of the night? It wasn't even pitch black or even close to. We still had more streetlights at only 50% running than many other places. -
Bicycle drivetrains keep getting more complex and expensive. A 3x9 drivetrain is beyond adequate, bulletproof, and inexpensive. But NooOoOoOooo, it's nearly impossible to get a quality bike with 3x9 now, without a full custom, DIY build. Everything has to be 1x11/12, which is expensive, touchy, and very particular, all while still lacking the gear range of 3x9.
It all seriously sticks in my craw.
As someone who has a 1x11, all I have to say is:
Push click, push click, push, push... push...

The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don't want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.
I'm still upset about Tenochtitlan falling and being buried. I'm a gringo, I shouldn't have an opinion about Lake Texcoco being drained centuries ago.
all of my hatred and disgust is perfectly and completely justified
-
I have never felt so seen on the internet!
I love cars and the environment. I really want EVs to be cool / better but we just aren’t there yet.
If ICE cars were banned for everything but racing/recreation I'd be very happy.
Racing series' do not need to make their race cars green. They need to make their logistics fleets green. Race cars need to be able to remain loud and dirty. The sights, sounds, and smells of racing combine to create the majesty that is racing.
I look forward to a future of efficient public transit, no new ICEs on the roads and V12s back in F1.
-
I love cars. I also love this planet. Cars are bad for the planet.
It said weirdest. This is common and I see it a lot so not weird at all.

bingo.
like LED headlights that are obviously way too bright. no, I don't care that you bought it like that. you chose to buy it like that. you are the consumer and you have responsibilities. you are therefore an asshole. perfectly justified and reasonable take.

have you not heard of darksky.org?
it's not like no one cares. just not enough

Explain then
No. I get enough of this in the subreddits and communities where it comes up naturally, I'm not going to get into a debate about it here in a thread where the subject is specifically how annoying it is to debate this stuff.

Phil Collins pisses me off, I can’t explain why, I just fucking hate that guy.

I'm not looking to debate. I just don't know what you are talking about

I wfh so my car is 99% of the time outside my house. It's in the shop for a few days and no one is choosing to park in front of my house! I swear to God they must think I'm a raging hambeast or something, ready to screech out the window if someone parks there. It's not MY spot. I don't own it. Please park there when my car isn't there! So annoying!
Maybe there are simply enough places, and people can park in front of their own houses, so there's no need to park in front of your house?
-
Moderation my guy. If everyone had a car they only drive on weekends or as a sport, there wouldn’t be an issue. So cars are not really the problem per se, it’s how we designed our world to revolve around moving in a car.
Sane take.
I'm also very much a "car guy", but I fucking love that since covid and work-from-home I don't have to do day-to-day driving anymore. I do less than 20% of the mileage that I used to do.
So yeah don't get mad at car owners, get mad at return-to-office mandates and such.

It's Reese's Pieces, not Reesee's peesees.
You're a fucking idiot if you say Reesee's peesees. When have you ever used the term peesees elsewhere, you month breathing dunce?
I'm the opposite, I only trust you if you say reesees peesees. The other way you're either a spy or a terminator awaiting activation.
I also don't trust people who don't pee in the shower, but that's just because they're lying.

A possible reason?
I remember when he was With Genesis. He split to become more commercial.
Never liked him since that day. -
Solar powered cars when?
Didn’t the 2nd gen Prius have a solar roof? It could only power the ac and accessories iirc.

In the context of the universe as a whole, what even is "useful"? Maybe its just here to shine bright for a few trillion years and that's all it needs to be. Art doesn't need to be useful.
If human history tells us anything its that we'd somehow suck the beauty out of it all in the name of profit.
I'm not really a nihilist or anything but it seems like almost anything we touch turns to shit. I'm all for colonizing the moon and Mars and making use of the asteroid belt but on bigger scales, maybe its better off to just sit back and enjoy the view?
-
They still have issues with tire dust, but yeah they're a lot better.
I mean better at being cars not better for the environment. I want a greener car but I don’t want to have to own a worse car to accomplish that.

I have no ire towards the band, though, and some of their songs I enjoy, Land of Confusion is a banger, and I don’t know enough of his solo work outside of the Tarzan soundtrack to really have any valid critiques of his musical style and approach. I just want to punch that son of a bitch right in the mouth for some reason. He just triggers a fight response in my dumb monkey brain.

I pee in that bad boy every time. Sometimes when it's a real yellow one it smells like popcorn
