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.

Rules

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

Is it true that the truck bed on those yank tanks are basically unusable due to height or shape or something, and are purely cosmetic?

But only one can crush a toddler without you even feeling it.

Buy the new Ford Infanticide 5000. You're American. You deserve it.

Not just toddlers. All children under ten are invisible!

Make the small one appealing to Americans who buy a truck for aesthetics.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.de 0 points 10 months ago

Who are you appealing to?

Note how the kei truck is still taking up a parking space, and that the "need" to provide such spaces makes the entire street wider than it otherwise could be.

I say that not to excuse the "full size" monstrosity in any way whatsoever, but to remind us all that this is "fuck cars," not just "fuck big trucks." ALL cars ruin cities, not only the big ones!

Of course. Fuck cars

Trucks are getting so stupid. The brands are smart though, they really know how to to make the most of men insecurities.

I can only recommend Our Changing Climates take on this: “Are Men Killing the Planet?”

The title is inflammatory, yes, but it’s a great video that drives home the point of masculine insecurity and a “dominance of nature” spurs a lot of the “masculine” stereotype behind trucks and SUVs.

Maybe I gotta say it three times?

[–] poppy@lemm.ee 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Some places have it blocked.

Yeah, I assumed as much so I just made a Beetlejuice joke
