Sao Paulo: AMATEURS
So like Cities Skylines but for real.
It's crazy to me that none of the people in the right lane of traffic are just escaping off to the right. Everyone's just sitting.
Maybe there was a process of natural selection, where all the people sensible enough who could get out got out, and it was 100% stubborn people remaining by the time the picture was taken.
I do think of that mentality "But I don't want to go right, I want to go straight, I'm not turning, everyone needs to get out of my way so I can go straight, I'm waiting here until that happens" as an American thing, but I guess we don't have a monopoly on it.
They had to pose for the picture of course
That too was bothering me a lot.
You know at some point the cars that can turn right will and the cars to their left will be able to turn right and so on. Seems like this will eventually unfuck itself.
Do they not have a "don't block the box" type of law there? Being within the intersection like that seems crazy to me
Sometimes you just need to be the reason for the safety meeting
There are modern roundabouts and then there are rotary intersections. Modern roundabouts have traffic entering the circle yield to traffic already within it, while rotary intersections have traffic within the circle yield to traffic entering. That makes rotaries, but not modern roundabouts, susceptible to locking up like this.
Check out the whole line of cars that could be getting through right-to-left, but there are two jerkwads who insist on not moving their car a foot or two apart to open up the little space and let them proceed.
Turns out the real America was in the hearts of the world this entire time
Damn, like 100 cars sharing a single IQ point.
Osloboros.

Pøpcørn Shrǐmp!
Hes the Swedish chef tho, not the Norwegian chef.
Almost this exact picture was used to explain "Deadlocks" in one of my early computer science classes in college.
This happens in nature as well. Ants, antelope, and many other unintelligent animals get stuck in a "death spiral" and die of exhaustion.
I enjoy how casually you insulted these animals as "unintelligent" after we've established that humans do the same. I guess, you never said that humans weren't unintelligent, though...
As the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tells us, humans are the third most intelligent species on Earth
the people who designed that town don't seem to understand that rectangles don't fit into a circle
That's right, it goes in the square hole.
Oslo
That town
Yeah, so the people who designed the roads in Oslo are all a bunch of morons
Idk this seems like a bit of a special situation I can imagine normally being out of consideration when planning stuff. The roundabout looks fairly normal
there's a whole lot of EU buttlickers around on Lemmy, huh?
Norway is not a member of the EU.
they still lick the EU's ass
Solution is simple. Plant the busses in place as a permanent memorial to the passengers.
I propose the busses fight and eat each other until only the strongest bus remains.
Survival of the fitness.
The growth of a bus tree would also help boost the local economy.
