Absolutely impossible to implement where I live up North. Half of the town's cars would have to go. Which I'm all in favour of, but there's a lot to sort out first (e.g. public transport and cycling infrastructure). Or I suppose we could put up a bunch of parking garages everywhere but that would be awful.

25kmph and 250w, off the top of my head. You need to pedal for the motor to engage, and they count as a bicycle so no insurance needed. The twist & go bikes (no pedalling required) are basically motorbikes with pedals so they're technically illegal but they're still widespread. You'll regularly see them in every city centre for food deliveries and you'll see kids on them everywhere else.

The lack of bicycle paths is a big problem but I don't think they'll solve it entirely. The barrier of entry is just too low, any idiot can ride one and be oblivious to the danger as they weave in between people.

I wish there was an opposite thing we could do. Like a fundsinker that would cost him money.

Love how you're downvoted so much for this. The internet is so funny sometimes. You need psychiatric help because you like getting drunk. Could you imagine the response if you said that to somebody in the real world?

I've had countless great times and made some great friends getting shitfaced. According to Lemmy I'd be much healthier sitting in my bedroom reading stories about Donald Trump and getting angry about car based infrastructure.

Yes. Phones not snooping 24/7 with a microphone is better than phones snooping 24/7 with a microphone. What kind of question is this? If you get people used to the idea that phones are always recording, people won't be as offended when these dickhead companies actually start doing it.

That's not what the meme says. It's accusing the apps of having live microphone access to your phone at all times.

Luckily I'm still on my family's ForkPitch plan. Let me know if you want to sign up for Torchee, I have a referral code

I had an alarm clock that had the same function. I recorded my little brother saying "poo poo wee wee" and prank called people with it. Good times.

I think what OP should have said is that people have needs, and one single partner can't provide all of those needs
