no there is no (good) option that doesn't involve you signing up for an account. but that seems like a weird requirement; you were willing to sign up for youtube?
interesting challenge to my concept of what an "e bike" is that there's no way of pedalling it. that's not as much of a show stopper as the >$1500 price, but kinda curious

what if we had records of contemporary US top military leaders saying the exact opposite, would you stop cheerleading for mass slaughter then?
because, in an amazing coincidence...
While a majority of Americans may not be familiar with this history, the National Museum of the U.S. Navy in Washington, D.C., states unambiguously on a plaque with its atomic bomb exhibit: “The vast destruction wreaked by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the loss of 135,000 people made little impact on the Japanese military. However, the Soviet invasion of Manchuria … changed their minds.”...
Seven of the United States’ eight five-star Army and Navy officers in 1945 agreed with the Navy’s vitriolic assessment. Generals Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and Henry “Hap” Arnold and Admirals William Leahy, Chester Nimitz, Ernest King, and William Halsey are on record stating that the atomic bombs were either militarily unnecessary, morally reprehensible, or both.
No one was more impassioned in his condemnation than Leahy, Truman’s chief of staff. He wrote in his memoir “that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender …. In being the first to use it we had adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages.”
MacArthur thought the use of atomic bombs was inexcusable. He later wrote to former President Hoover that if Truman had followed Hoover’s “wise and statesmanlike” advice to modify its surrender terms and tell the Japanese they could keep their emperor, “the Japanese would have accepted it and gladly I have no doubt.”
Before the bombings, Eisenhower had urged at Potsdam, “the Japanese were ready to surrender and it wasn’t necessary to hit them with that awful thing.”

o jeez how could i have forgotten to mention the apex/nadir of this tragic farce, the .io extension? It belongs to the Chagos Islands, the residents of which the British government forced to leave in the 1970s so that the land could be given to the USA for a military base. The UN voted to ask the International Court of Justice to rule on whether the British government should give the islands back to the people who were removed, the ICJ said yes, the government of the failed state that is the UK (presumably under orders from their inverted colonial masters, the government of the failed state that is the USA) continues to tell everyone to fuck off.
Meanwhile, guess who manages the .io TLD, and collects the profits from .io domain registrations? The UK government! 🎉☠
@JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world if you're going to campaign on "respect for internet architecture" with TLDs, maybe start with the 9,999 techbros directly funding land theft through their mostly-very-shitty .io domain names, and leave the folks making Marxist-Leninist jokes (or phishing the US military lol) to enjoy .ml.
