I posted this exact screenshot on the fuckcars sub on Reddit. I was hoping there would be people here who understood the spirit and point of the post instead of squabbling over traffic and trains and how often people are in traffic and whether people take trains through the Alps or not.
I’m sorely disappointed.
I immediately ignore anything they have to say if they can’t do a lick of critical thinking of their own.
It’s embedded in the comment…
I live here. It’s true.
The 50% (actually 51%) figure is cited in a UN report as well.
This 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.
Another 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.
Tbf the newer mainline Hiluxes have also turned into bloated monstrosities, so much so that Toyota developed an entirely separate Hilux “Champ” model to serve as a light workhorse truck
Contrapoints keeps showing her hand as a straight up liberal Zionist, so there’s that
They’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.
No one’s forcing you hold court on things you know nothing about either, but here you are, doing it anyway.
Hey 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.
Yeah I was seeing that too
How do you phrase it? Is it “take a bus/buses”?
We have it too in India (in addition to daily/monthly passes). I thought that was common?
You guys have bike lanes? 🙃
Top speed on this thing is 25kph (at least in the UK).
You gotta admit this is a damn sight better than gigantic conventional pickup trucks though
Wait really? I thought Amsterdam had that hard rubber cover thing over the tram tracks
That’s a goddamned shame. European tram systems have figured out how to deal with that for years now, I don’t understand why the US refuses to do it
I’m disappointed in the community here on Lemmy because the reaction has been even worse here than it was on Reddit
