And constantly eating fast food from disposable dishes with a plastic fork. 🙄

You must have missed the upgrade. They are cardboard forks now.

You know, I love what you guys are trying to do here. I love seeing the pictures you guys post when progress is made and I agree with you that the world would be better with more walkable places that are beautiful and green.

This post though? It is pointless and it makes you all look batshit insane.

“Oh no, someone used a drive thru. Stupid car brain! Use ur legs moron!”

Meanwhile I’m sitting here 45 miles from the nearest Walmart haha. Out here in rural hell I’d have to camp out overnight to finish my journey to get food.

I know, I know. I should take my talentless, unskilled ass to a city and leave everyone I know and love behind so I can walk from my cardboard box to McDonald’s.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood. I usually like the posts here. This one just rubs me the wrong way.

I was wondering a good 30 seconds who the fuck Carbrian was

@destructdisc The consequence of poorly designed cities.

You can't really blame people when getting around without a car is very difficult.

But when you live in a town with plentiful transit options, some of which are faster then driving, then you can absolutely blame carbrain idiots.

I can think of few places that are more uncomfortable to dine on than a car seat.

...actually, car seats are pretty uncomfortable places to do anything, really. You expect to be able to do stuff comfortably there, but you just can't. It's weird. And at the same time it's not so uncomfortable that you stop doing stuff there entirely. And you're like "what's wrong with me?" but then you realise it's not your fault after all - it's the cars that are weird.

because car companies in the us lobbied everyone to make cars that ubiquitous.

[-] simsalabim@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Because it’s more likely that you have an AC in your car than at home.

And Americans get seriously upset when someone says they don't have a food culture.

New Orleans has the best I've seen in the world so far, as long as you don't go where tourists go.

Try living here without one lol it's quite difficult and we try for years to get to a point where we can be free of the car

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Can't argue with that. The US pretty much has no cycling infrastructure (and those "can count them on one hand" exceptions don't count)

[-] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

By why not drive home and film it on a table?

[-] Breezy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Food isnt as hot and fresh. Also while you drive 10 20 minutes to get home your food can have steam build up ruining the fresh food texture.

[-] Zexks@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Because no one want to listen to them yap on and on in the restaurant. And it could be a long drive back to wherever you live. Or the people at their home don't want to listen to them either.
