Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•How Congestion Pricing Proved the Haters Wrong and Is Changing New York for the BetterEnglish
21·9 days agoThis comment is like a bell curve for fascism. Starts out okay, takes a hard right into ecofascism in the middle, then straightens out again at the end.
What the hell man.

science@lemmy.world•Switching to electric stoves can dramatically cut indoor air pollutionEnglish
47·19 days agoAnother fuckass article trying to shift blame to the individual instead of holding gigantic corporations and tech giants responsible for making conditions so bad that even indoor air is polluted.

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•First Cheetah Roadkill: Speeding Vehicle Mows Down Cub Near Gwalior - The WireEnglish
18·1 month agoThey’re not native to India (these are African cheetahs, not Asiatic cheetahs, which are also not native to India but might theoretically fare better).
The climate is wrong – India is a lot wetter than their native African savanna, with a prolonged heavy monsoon season they’re not used to. There are already cases of cheetahs developing infections from the near-constant moisture and humidity during the monsoons.
The environment is wrong – Indian grasslands bear only a superficial resemblance to the savanna, but there are a lot more trees and underbrush, which is far from ideal for a predator that evolved to hunt with linear speed, especially one as fragile as a cheetah.
There are also a LOT more apex predators (tigers, leopards, wolves, dholes) in the area they’ve been introduced to, so there’s a lot more competition for the same prey base. Cheetahs have a high enough failure rate as is in their home range, it gets significantly worse when they’re forced to compete with a higher density of predators they’re unfamiliar with.
And none of this considers the human impact – India has a very high human and livestock population density on the fringes of protected forest areas. If a cheetah happens to wander outside the protected area and tries to hunt, there’s a very good chance people will kill it or seriously injure it to protect their livestock…or hit it with a car or a truck or something.

1·1 month agoHey so, you know this isn’t Reddit, right? You seem super keen on collecting those pretty orange arrows and I’m sorry to tell you that orange arrows are downvotes, not upvotes. It doesn’t work like that around these parts.

7·3 months agoI looked at the tech specs and it’s 924mm wide, which is slightly wider than the average cargo bike or trike. A typical bike lane is anywhere from 2 to 4m wide, which should leave enough space for passing or oncoming bike traffic I think.

2·3 months agoYes it is, and I don’t think anyone’s going to want to walk past multiple rubbish tips backing on to the sidewalks. Also the street just happens to be more or less empty, otherwise there are bound to be cars and bikes and autorickshaws sitting pretty right there
