Yeah but some people are more traffic than others.
insert lifted truck hogging 2 lanes
insert soccer moms with massive SUVs
Lol
Insert the guy in a Prius going 30 mph under the speed limit and slamming on his brakes for no reason.
Insert everyone in the passing lane that isn't passing.
Honestly “soccer mom” is probably a better use of street capacity than most usage of cars. One adult and six kids in a Suburban is much more efficient than three adults each with two kids in the back of three sedans.
If you swerve in and out of lanes to try to get ahead, you can be traffic for an easy 3 or 4 lanes!
Love the peeps that risk killing everyone around them to get ten feet ahead in bumper to bumper traffic.
And only end up being farther back than if they had just stayed put, as everybody else had the same thought, making the new lane the slower one.
And even if it doesn't, they lose any time they could have possibly gained the moment they get off the highway and hit a red light.
Just one more lane bro and we fix traffic, trust me.
Oh good. This is gonna be just like reddit. Things that are literally decades old.
Isn't reddit content just a reflection of people, and people also exist on this platform
well...stop that.
You aren't stuck on Reddit. You are the Reddit.
Oh....oh God...
Did you expect people would really change compared to how they acted on Reddit?
What's wrong with this post?
Lemmy isn't reddit, but whatever it is, they're both the internet.
Be the traffic you want to become.
Ahh, the Lemmy meme.
Nah, I am the main character. The world happens to me, get these NPCs out of my way.
Jesus Christ has come for his second resurrection, and his name is Intl
You aren't shitposting in Lemmy, you ARE the Lemmy!
So then what’s happening when I drive and there’s no traffic? Am I nothing???!
Youre never “nothing”… youre always something special! I promise :)
Example: when there is no traffic, youre still a noise & particulate generator that lowers property values, warms our planet, and makes the built environment more hostile/dangerous and depressing for everyone nearby.
Whew thank god. Who cares if I’m ruining everything as long as I exist!
The traffic is stuck in the traffic🚦
Mix powdered traffic into your traffic.
More traffic per traffic.
mmm yes, the traffic is made out of traffic
"I'm stuck in traffic" implies they aren't part of it but that it is something that is happening to them.
You're not stuck in it, you are it.
Been working remote since onset of pandemic. Never going back to the office bro. Couldn't pay me enough to share the roads with the rest of the grinders.
So many hours wasted in traffic.
State Anthem of the Soviet Union plays in background
This is a Bill Burr bit.
They're not mutually exclusive states. You can be part of the traffic, but if you can't get out, you're still stuck in it. You're part of traffic but not stuck in it if and only if you have the opportunity to exit the traffic experience.
Now I'm stuck in the damn traffic that I've helped damn create. Dammit!
No wonder I hate myself.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
