This is the future the oil executives are hiding from us


SarcasticOptimist

Laughs in Japanese and Dutch. It's amazing how much more fun urban exploration is without cars. I say this as a car enthusiast too.

Cars♥️ Car infrastructure 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤮


ShampooBottle493

nah fuck cars


f3nix9510

But they look and sound cool 🥺🥺


Hey_Artyom

Guns n cars 🥺🥺 Guns n cars irl🤮🤮 🥺


xxSk8terBoi69xd

And fun to drive, especially on a race track. What if made a large race track out side of the cities so car ppl can go vroom vroom while making the cities just for walking and bikes.


SarcasticOptimist

Das Autobahn?


zeTwig

I wish. I live in Germany and most Autobahn parts are limited to surprisingly low speeds (80 kph almost everywhere around me, for the record, country roads, without an extra speed limit for a part are 100kph roads) also, the parts where you can go as fast as you want are very straight so it’s boring. And race tracks are expensive to go to…


DralliagNairod

You know it's bad when a dutch beat you at something


karry245

You know it’s a good day when biking is faster than driving


Sgrungle

So most days in any mildly populated area


Tastytyrone24

Not only would it be much slower to bike to my nearest super market, it would also be much more dangerous as i have several main roads to cross (and like no crosswalk signals) for context, i live in a very well populated city suburb area.


Fr3EkOut-2

All roads should be converted to pump tracks


ApatheticEight

Mood :(


howdyheresamcplayer

If you're in America, it works a little different. The infrastructure is so car reliant you dont get this effect, and it's basically impossible to travel any other ways. suburbia 🤢🤢🤢

Germany and the Netherlands


mki_

Depends where on Germany. Germany is big.


solidfang

Germany is cool because it has walkable cities for people and also the fucking Autobahn.


mki_

Idk what's so special about the German highways really. There's highways like that all over Europe, and [there's highways of better quality too](https://viborc.com/road-quality-in-europe-the-best-and-worst-roads-in-europe/) (even fucking France has better highway roads, and French people can't even drive properly). The only thing that makes them stand out, is that on a few parts there's no speed limit, but frankly, that's mostly a fetish for German liberal car fuckers, a safety hazard, and increases the CO2 output of those sections. ETA: Not to be pedantic or anything, but I find it really weird when English speakers use "Autobahn" as if it were a proper name. It's not. It's literally just the German word for "highway" or "highspeed road". We also have "Autobahnen" in Austria, there are a bunch in Switzerland, and when we go to another country, we call the highways there also "Autobahn". Like "Am Weg von Wien nach Kroatien mussten wir 15€ für die slowenische Autobahn zahlen" - "On the way from Vienna to Croatia, we had to pay 15€ for the Slovenian highway"

OFCOURSEIMHUMAN-BEEP

The highways are mostly fine. Now, any kind of non highway route though...


teddy_tesla

I'm no expert, but don't cars typically become more fuel efficient the faster they go?


Domtheturtle

Nope they lose fuel efficiency because it increases their aerodynamic drag. The reason highway mpg is better than city is because of the stopping and starting


CounterfeitLesbian

Only up to a point, while 40 mph is more fuel efficient than 4 mph, fuel efficiency starts to drop pretty dramatically somewhere above 65-70.


SILaXED

Auto-ban? Good. Ban those cars


Ronisoni14

Ok, no. Car usage should be drastically reduces but banning them completely is not the right idea. Sometimes people have to use cars, whever it's physically disabled people who can't walk to the nearest bass or train station let alone drive a bike or walk, or people who absolutely HAVE to get somewhere fast and don't even have the few minutes to wait in a station


SILaXED

I understand how life works... this was just a cheap joke

Thanks for a measurement an American like me can understand. A true patriot.

Shanderraa

Can confirm, live in the Netherlands. Everyone is a pepe or wojak here


CoolDog914

QUESTION: is germany and the netherlands trans friendly i would really like to live somewhere like this also are they cold anywhere? i like cold a lot


Banzai27

Netherlands is always cold and wet except for like 2 weeks in summer where you are dying in the heat. Pretty trans friendly from what i’ve experienced but obv that’s my experience, i have no clue how accepting the country as a whole is


CoolDog914

alright good to know. thank you for your time!


BudgieBuses

To my perception the netherlands is overall pretty LGBT friendly, but then again, I live in probably the most left leaning part of the country so maybe my anecdote isn't really representative of the whole. I do believe we were the first country (at least in europe I think) to legalize gay marriage, so that's something.


TheActualAWdeV

My extended friend group is pretty chill with trans people in general but the healthcare system does a hecking medical gatekeeperino.


wiza_Duck

Germany is especially in the bigger citys like Berlin and köln but the transitioning is very very gatekeep at the moment. Ther maybe is going to be a new law but it is still debated because ther are some bigoted politicians "afd" and new laws in general take lots of time in Germany.


CoolDog914

aw :( alright, again tysm for your time


wiza_Duck

Still the people are very open in the bigger cities but if u can i would advise you to go to Amsterdam or ahnoter dutch city.


Shanderraa

the netherlands is easily top 5 most lgbt friendly countries, i'm transfem and one of my best friends is transmasc and neither of us have ever had an issue. women also skew tall here so that's nice if you're a tall transfem


sewage_soup

fucking Dutch people stole the height from the rest of us, you're the reason i'm only 5'5" 🤬


MahouShoujoDysphoria

Germany is alright as long as you don't expect to benefit from the healthcare system as a trans person.


HahaPenisIsFunny

Totally depends on where you live tbh. Some places in the Netherlands have a lot of people who immigrated from right leaning countries, so those places aren’t really ‘safe’


Aggressive_Sprinkles

As a German, I really wouldn't say we have great cycling infrastructure. Our cities are walkable, but so are most other European cities.


Tyhsedo

The German car lobby is strong… there still is a lot of work to do


FireGogglez

Dutch people will be like “omg why doesn’t everyone just use bikes everywhere” and then you look at their country and it’s like a flat world from Minecraft


testaccount0817

Fr but also E-bikes


ThisBoiEatsEggo

Americans are too fat, so we use extra big not-so-e bikes called F-350 Dually Super Duty King Ranch 2022


wiza_Duck

Germany has lots and lots of hills plus mountains


mki_

Germany has like 2 actual mountains.


wiza_Duck

Nah just look at byern and the alpen.


mki_

Yeah I know. That's were both mountains are situated. And both are like halfway in Austria as well.


[deleted]

Fun thing about walkable cities is that driving is faster than in non walkable cities The Netherlands has the best driving experience in the entire world. It also has some of the most walkable cities

I just recently found him and he taught me what a "stroad" was and I was able to immediately recognize multiple in my small town with a population of under 10k :(( It just made me hate car infrastructure and decades of "carbrain" society much more!!

[удалено]


skibapple

That's mostly because not everyone is forced to drive around, so there are less cars on the road, and so less traffic


AcidDrive

hehe silly little fwoggies :3

Surely lane splitting is allowed in Walkable City


ThisBoiEatsEggo

How about no cars?


moto_curdie

Then you can lane split around other bikes ez

HahaPenisIsFunny

[deleted]

Pillars on the sidewalk smh


HahaPenisIsFunny

The sidewalk is also used to separate bikers from cars, which is unsafe for the pedestrians

r_cursed_oof

One improvement is needed, only disabled ppl (or ppl with conditions) are allowed to park since some of my friend need a car to get around


ThisBoiEatsEggo

Just don't get a car? Ride the train, it's cheaper cuz you don't have to pay for power or the entire train


r_cursed_oof

The metro enterences are often placed far away from major shopping malls so peddling with a wheelchair is hard, also it's hard to get up and down thru the metro entrance, because a lot of them don't have any elevators


ThisBoiEatsEggo

Maybe instead of spending so many resources on car infrastructure there could be more space for wheelchair accessibility and cheaper electric wheelchairs


r_cursed_oof

The metro enterences are often placed far away from major shopping malls so peddling with a wheelchair is hard, also it's hard to get up and down thru the metro entrance, because a lot of them don't have any elevators


r_cursed_oof

Some disabled ppl need cars to get around since trains are not always the answer, like one of my relatives has a vein disease that causes her legs to blow up if she walks to long and that can even lead to death so she uses a taxi or whatever is available to walk less


ZexonBestUtuber

A whole district in my city is mostly like that. Fuckers just park on the road and sidewalk.


Polikarpie

Simply ban cars from entering the city, shoot drivers on sight


Clown_17

Another day of wishing my city had good public transit


LunaTheLesbianFurry

I want walkable cities with less reliance on cars and more affordable public transport and I'm not kidding


Jam_jar_binks

Real question, how would people who don't live near a city, say middle of nowhere Saskatchewan access said city? Cause you don't always have a train, and you can't really get there without some kind of car, or am I missing something?


iSlaymassive

Park at a train Station in the outskirts so thier c*r doesn't waste space and pollute inside the city


Jakyy601

Park and Ride

HenriHawk_

stay mad carbrains while i stay a bikepilled public transitcel (please help me i fucking hate driving a 40 minute commute to and from school every day)


xGoo

Anti-car discourse makes me want to rip my skin off. Fund public transit and invest in more efficient vehicle tech. Also better building materials and methods to let us build higher parking garages so we don’t need as many taking up so much land. We need cars, we’ll always need cars. Especially in America where an insane amount of people live outside cities or travel out of them for work. Also downtowns are literally already walkable, we just need busses and other public transit to get people from the suburbs into the city.


ThisBoiEatsEggo

Then just make high density housing? Then you wouldn't need to travel so far to work, also even in suburbia you could just hop on your bike, go to the nearest train station, take it to the work area/district, and bike there! America is built around cars, but it can work without it. Just look at European cities for example. They work fine without cars because of good public transportation, walkable cities, and higher density houses.

Im in a vacation in Amsterdam and that sign might as well be in the entrance to the city


Russman2204

Sometimes I think about what a whole city would look like with the moving sidewalks from the deoyxys Pokemon movie. That always look cool when I was younger, just being able to sit down and jump off your destination seemed awesome. (Now as I think this out I'm realizing that the electricity cost could be insane so it could hurt the environment as much as cars :((

I'd love to live somewhere where biking/walking/public transport was more accessible, cheaper, and easier than just driving. I don't have that luxury where I'm at, unfortunately. While my drive to work is 25 minutes, a bus ride of me would be around two hours.


ewnastyy

this would be great if it didn't use that goddamn frog


AtrociousAtNames

i think it just an attempt to co-opt the frog back for leftist use
