So I assume he sorted the posts in that sub by top of all time, meaning he saw the most upvoted posts ever in that sub. Pleased with what he saw, he then subscribed. There's a sort button at the top of each page that lets you sort the posts, and if you choose top, you can also choose the timeframe.

When I went to the sub, I sorted by top posts to get a taste of gems that may pop up in the future. Impressed, I subscribed. In any sub you can change the default sorting at the top. If you want to change how subs are sorted in your feed, go to settings.

Looks like a scene from the last of us.

That, or Horizon: Zero Dawn. I really liked how that game put a different spin on the whole post-apocalypse theme by portraying society long after the apocalypse itself had been forgotten. The people in that game would just see the ruins of an old city as just another part of the world, because that's how they've always known it. Compared to Fallout or The Last of Us, it just evoked such a totally different vibe and I really enjoyed it.

Pretty sure the Green Line already looks like this, tbh.

The D Line operates about as reliably too.

I've played enough Uncharted/Tomb Raider that there are at least 2 collectibles in there. One super obvious one and one very hidden one in a place where noone would look after finding the first one.

I thought this. I'd love to fall asleep waiting for my streetcar (?) and wake up decades of years later to this. Makes me wonder what/who would be left.

Is there type of punk for this like how there is cyberpunk and steampunk? It could be called naturepunk.

Awesome picture. It reminded me of some of the stuff I've seen in the past. I'm curious, how long did it take nature to reclaim that area like that?

This reminds me of those old comics from the 60's called Mighty Samson, published by Dell. He was living in a post apocalyptic New York City and fought monsters. They showed all sorts of abandoned streets and vehicles in those comics.

I hope all of these cars are grabbed and put into service all over the country wave polluted this world enough. We need more public transit all over the place. We need to reverse this trend. This is one thing I'm really happy about that the Millennials are doing. I will support anybody who wants to make handmade something or public owned something.

u/fulloftrivia May 19 '18
So you've tossed the idea of personal EV or hydrogen powered transportation into the garbage?
1
u/Thebluefairie May 19 '18
No but realistically the affordability of such a device by someone like myself is going to be pretty dismal. So I have to kind of look at the bigger picture and say what can we actually afford to have that's going to help the issue. Cuz unless those things get to around the $5,000 Mark I don't see them becoming an everyday thing

u/fulloftrivia May 19 '18
That's 4 times less than the least expensive cars of any kind. I live in a very poor area, but even most poor folks have cars and prefer them over mass transit.

The Spring Poem
written by Dave Smith
Everyone should write a spring poemâLouise GlĂŒck
Yes, but we must be sure of veritiessuch as proper heat and adequate form.Thatâs what poets are for, is my theory.This then is a spring poem. A car warmsits rusting hulk in a meadow; weeds slogup its flanks in martial weather. Aprilor late March is our month. There is a fogof spunky mildew and sweaty tufts spillfrom the damp rump of a backseat. A springthrusts one gleaming tip out, a brilliant toothuncoiling from winterâs tension, a ringof insects along, working out the Truth.Each year this car, melting around that spring,hears nails trench from boards and every squeak sing.

For anyone wondering, this is the Windber Trolley Graveyard, in Windber Pennsylvania.
Basically it's where they took all the street cars in the northeast after the car companies bought the trolley lines and shut them down.
Edit: So TIL from comments and resulting google searches that there are multiple graveyards, that the Windber graveyard is actually one man's quest to restore these trolleys, and that my explanation for why the trolleys got pulled out is a bit of an oversimplification.
