Wow that video is insufferable... What does this actually have to do with cars? I don't see how people being too lazy to put a shopping cart back is really relevant to this sub
Edit: community, not sub. Gonna be a while till I fully work out all of the redditisms.
Agreed with you. Not only is this guy insufferable and annoying, it has nothing to do with this community. Seems like lazy spam posting
I feel like I'm back on PublicFreakout.
What does this actually have to do with cars?
Part of his shtick is that he puts a magnet on their car if they don't do the right thing. When he puts the magnet on the car they freak out and act like they've been personally assaulted. It's peak carbrain!
Here's another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Redc1mvyLaw
I hate cars as much as the next car hater, but I feel harping on people for not returning carts is not the right battle. I say this as an avid cart returner.
When I was a kid working retail I loved going out and returning the carts because it gets you outside and it sucks being stuck inside an entire shift
I hated it during those summer months though. They had us on 30 minute shifts and by the end of it I felt like I was dying of exhaustion. Not a whole lot of shade in that parking lot.
I agree with the idea behind cart narcs, but man he takes it too far.. arguably being more of a nuisance than the initial issue of not returning the cart.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
