Rolling coal is one of the most mindbogglingly stupid things I’ve ever heard of. Truly, it makes it seem like Idiocracy didn’t go nearly far enough in their hyperbole. Nobody could’ve predicted people being this aggressively dumb.

Ignoring the tragedy of the actual situation, the way the title is parsed for the link implies that a diesel powered bicyclist crashed while rolling coal and that imagery makes me giggle.

If someone put together a diesel powered bike that could coal out I wouldn't even be mad

idk about diesel, but you can get a 2-stroke to run pretty dirty without much trouble

I pictured a cyclist with anthracite wheels.

Damn that's horrific, stupid and completely unnecessary.
