i think it’s possible to have too many buttholes. like, from a functional standpoint. it’s probably super uncomfortable.
Demanding butthole conformity is a classic argument of the right.
i mean i guess you could read it that way. i should probably think of a better way to word that when i’m less tired
I will be banned from Lemmy. I cannot tell it.
We should train mountain lions to be comfortable around humans, so they can hunt down feral cats and dogs to stop them from killing local wildlife and polluting rivers.
Eagles could work too.
All active duty soldiers should be get a free, non-transferrable 1000+cc motorcycle.
Cities/towns under 1 million should ban cars within the city limits, but remove all liscensing requirements for <200cc motorcycles.
Being someone that thinks all noisy motorcycles should be banded, I think these are neither left or right, just wrong. Make them electric bikes.
Chain drive electrics are fine, if a tad boring, but they currently lack range.
Also smaller motorbikes aren’t loud, just ban loud exhaust.
The only disagreement I have about the bikes is that 200cc is a bit high. But smaller? Yeah probably fine.
Ok, 156cc, i was just thinking a Honda winnerx or a yamaha exciter 155 is a little underpowered for short highway trips.
Mountain lions cannot catch cats and dogs easily. Also, plenty of people would straight up murder mountain lion with a gun or their car to save a dog or cat.
Catch, Neuter, Release diminishes wild cat populations dramatically over just a couple generations, and it doesn’t involve having to facilitate their deaths.
Edit: I am a fan of the motorcycle idea. We should make sure they’re electric to cut down on their driving volume.
Cougars absolutely can and do eat cats and dogs; their natural prey is primarily deer but they’ll absolutely hunt smaller animals if given the opportunity. It’s also not unheard of for them to stalk children and even adults.
i was gonna say, my favorite vehicles i’ve owned goes in order: my etrike, the hot red turbocharged 90s sportscar i drove in college, the late 80s nissan convertible with the popup headlights i learned to drive in, the hybrid we got right now, all the rest, and then that piece of shit barely worked had a door held on with duct tape and those awful automatic seatbelts but these made a RUHRUHRUH sound because they didn’t retract all the way when you got out and it had a leaky radiator that the dude who owned it before me thought you could fix by cracking an egg into it fucking garbage 94 Ford Tempo. It was Blue.
which is to say i’m a big fan of the motorcycle idea or just ebikes
Come to vietnam. Outside of HCMC and Hanoi, where there are so many bikes they recreate the issues with cars, the freedom and flexibility of 90%+ of the population using motorbikes is good for your soul. The emissions of 8 million 10 year old bikes is bad for your lungs tho.
China is kinda ahead in that they have both bikes, ebikes/scooters, and public transit, but theres way more cars.
oh, i don’t need to visit vietnam for that, i live near (and used to live in) a college town with about three times as many bicycles as cars. only time we got in the car was to leave town.
I’m not exaggerating about seeing 10+ bikes for every car in some locations. https://vietnamnews.vn/economy/1690616/only-nine-per-cent-of-households-in-viet-nam-own-a-car.html
The important part isn’t that you have the bike, its that very few people use cars, so there streets have the capacity to transport hundreds a minute, a dozen people can park in front of a 15 foot wide shop.
that sounds like the main bike corridor of this town, yeah. only place in the state i know of where police take the laws around bikes like helmets and lights at night seriously.
It is a hoax that feral and domesticated cats are destroying the environment in places where they have predators, which is almost everywhere except Australia and some isolated islands. Cats live near humans precisely because they have so many predators in the wild.
women should have the right to kill their rapists without ever seeing a day in jail
Why limit that to women?

At my most reductive, I think English speakers shouldn’t be allowed to self govern.
Right, racism and fascism.
Fucking duh.
racism?
hey look everybody it’s “islamophobia isn’t racism” but for white people 🙄
protip: the problem isn’t a given demographic because the problem is not people the problem is power.
further, all you’ve really done in that scenario is rearrange the fascist power dynamic. it’s still just fascism. you have a fascist position and you need to think on that.

stop subsidizing cars and trucks
Left.
nah that’s actually right wing (in theory)
in reality, it’s left… the world is a weird place
I mean, people on the left generally aren’t against subsidizing transportation, the problem is with cars specifically. Their dominance is generally bad for society as a whole, but good for a few already very powerful people.
Hive minds would be a superior form of consciousness than lone individual minds. If the technology ever materializes, we should install brain implants to create a form of wireless telepathy, allowing the sharing of senses, ideas, knowledge, feelings and subsume our self-awareness into group awareness, like little Borg cubes.

You should read Leech by Hiron Ennes. It’s told from the pov of a member of a hive mind. Its a really interesting exploration of identity.
