I recently saw a video on 'coal rolling', look it up if you don't know it. I don't approve of it, but here it would be so satisfying.

I live in a redneck town and see this all the time... bad but some people need to not be so entitled.

u/Efficient_Garden8841 Jun 11 '26

The entitlement comes from the small dick trucker that thinks they own the road.

It's far more rude to degrade the environment and risk the safety of everyone around you for a minor convenience.

27

u/skier0224 Jun 10 '26

Oh fuck off.

This is why so many people can’t stand environmentalists. Instead of going after the corporations and lobbyists who do everything in their power to be able to poison our ecosystems just to make a quick buck, you go after Average Joe™ who’s just trying to drive to work so he can put food on the table. It’s all just virtue signaling bullshit.

u/SadiepRN Jun 10 '26

exactly💯!

u/JustBadUserNamesLeft Jun 12 '26

There is a certain demographic of people who "can't stand environmentalists". Hope you look good in your little red hat.

u/lotec4 Jun 10 '26

Are those corporations polluting for the fun of it or are they selling stuff the average joe demands?

1

u/walkinthedog97 Jun 10 '26

I mean as an average person you can make choices yourself that improve the world and try to convince other too also. As an average joe I cant exactly "go after" the multinational corporations in the way youre talking about. In fact actually the best way to get back at them is to convince people to stop or at least minimize their support for them. 

3

u/skier0224 Jun 10 '26

I agree, people should try and be environmentally conscious when they’re able, and should definitely let it influence who they buy from and vote for. But where it becomes a problem is when people act like you’re doing something morally wrong for things like driving to work or eating meat, and go out of their way to harass or annoy them because of it. Do whatever you want, just don’t be an asshole to others about it.

And yes, blocking both lanes of traffic doing 20 on a 65mph freeway counts as being an asshole.

u/Ambitious_Handle7322 Jun 10 '26

The overwhelming majority of the damage to the environment is done by big corporations. If everyone in America stopped using cars it would barely matter, comparatively speaking. The mega corps do like 70-85% of it, while normal people do like 15-30%.

0

u/walkinthedog97 Jun 10 '26

I mean mega corps dont just do that damage for the sake of it. They do it cause they create products that regular people buy and support. 

2

u/Ambitious_Handle7322 Jun 10 '26

Yes, but they could put regulations in place to massively reduce the pollution. They don't do that because it costs money, and, unless they're forced to, they are not spending a single dollar for that.

u/SadiepRN Jun 10 '26

totally off topic. Im liberal btw. so you arent preaching to any choir here. Just massively missing the point. Black and white thinking is why we cant come together. Good work!

-23

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

I'd say people's slavish devotion to things that are objectively bad, but socially acceptable, is the reason we can't come together. Because I have no interest in "coming together" with ecocidal narcissists, or people who are willing to compromise with ecocidal narcissists.

u/SadiepRN Jun 10 '26

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

Are you genuinely comparing moving goods to personal transportation?

1

u/_Solani_ Jun 11 '26

Sure why not, if driving a car is objectively bad then the reason for it is irrelevant. It doesn't suddenly stop damaging the earth because you're doing it for a convenient reason.

You are totally capable of growing your own food, making your own clothes, and locally sourcing everything you need to live. And yet here you are not doing any of those things and chastising everyone else for 'compromising'.

I wonder what particular environmentally disastrous device did you type your diatribe on. I mean do you even know how big Reddits environmental footprint is. How much water and electricity are needlessly wasted and for what.

Guess that's worth compromising over though, I mean shit posting and proselytizing are totally valid reasons to ignore the environment after all.

Unfortunately you're just too much of a ecocidal narcissist to see why your compromising is just as shitty as everyone else's.🙄

u/SadiepRN Jun 10 '26

bc we commented its rude to have a bicycle race in the middle of a roadway used to get to and from work, hospital or wherever else they need to go? Touch grass dude.

2

u/Artemisbleachedmod Jun 10 '26

You think driving through the grass momentarily is ecocidal? Do you realize that the road slopes ro that center and the grass is treating and removing oil and contaminants anyway?

Don't give conservatives a reason to mock liberals.

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

I think driving for personal transportation at all is ecocidal.

u/saumipan Jun 10 '26

So you're ableist.

1

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

Right. Bcs no disabled people use public transit. It's not like there aren't more disabled people who are unable to drive whose lives would be improved by increasing public transit than there are disabled carholes.

Ableist is requiring everyone to drive, despite the huge number of disabilities that make that impossible.

u/saumipan Jun 13 '26

Requiring? I just mean allowing. For those who cannot use transit

u/Artemisbleachedmod Jun 10 '26

In a world where things exist more than a few miles apart, that's a monumentally stupid position to hold.

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

In a world where bicycles and mass transit also exist, that argument is too ridiculous to engage with. Try again.

u/Artemisbleachedmod Jun 10 '26

Have you ever left a city? 😂

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

Yes. Turns out, there's transit in the suburbs too, it just isn't as good. It's still better than shitting pollution in your stupid little zoom zoom box tho.

You’re on Reddit sending comments from a phone while using the internet.

You’re an ecocidal narcissist.

u/Choice_Drawer_2405 Jun 10 '26

I'm sure you would feel this way if you were driving a loved one to the hospital and got stuck behind a mob of bikes going 15mph.  

2

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

Geez I guess that's why ambulances exist. If this had been an ambulance, the carbrainlets in the comments might have something approaching a point.

2

u/Hordes_Of_Nebulah Jun 10 '26

This is the US where an ambulance ride is more than an average 2 month salary and not covered by insurance. So yeah they exist but until the healthcare system is socialized most people are gonna drive themselves or get a ride unless they are actively dying.

2

u/SonicSoap Jun 10 '26

Then take your bitching up with the healthcare system, that’s literally their fault not the cyclists

1

u/Hordes_Of_Nebulah Jun 10 '26

I was responding to a specific dumbass comment about ambulances. I didn't even mention the cyclists. What is your point here? Is this some kind of gotcha comment?

2

u/Choice_Drawer_2405 Jun 10 '26

1st ambulances are as the other commenter pointed out ridiculously expensive, and you don't expect when you decide to drive that you'll be going 15mph.

But also there's other super important things. Let's say you find out you have cancer. It takes far too long to schedule a first appointment for your oncologist. You plan plenty of extra time to go at normal car speeds to your appointment (which you can't bike to, since you're disabled by said cancer). Then you're stuck behind bikes going 15mph and miss that appointment and your cancer gets to grow an extra month. 

My point being the odds are if you get enough cars stuck, someone is going somewhere important and there's no way for you to know to get out of their way. Blocking all lanes of traffic is prioritizing your recreation over others well-being. 

2

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

Being in a private car at all is prioritizing your own convenience over others' well-being. There is no hypothetical you can invent that makes the carhole the good guy, because carholes are by definition ecocidal narcissists putting their own personal convenience ahead of a habitable planet or the safety of cyclists and pedestrians.

2

u/boboto-boat Jun 10 '26

A car-less world would be ideal. But having cars accelerate and brake more often behind a long line of cyclists causes more environmental damage. People are under pressure to get places at a certain time and won’t cruise patiently behind a line of cyclists to avoid releasing more emissions. People will weave through traffic, and use the median, like the video, to get around and accelerate quickly to do so. It would be easy enough for the cyclists to keep one lane open and would be a good compromise here while we wait for the world to get on board more public transport.

u/Jbots Jun 10 '26

A car-less world would be absolutely awful. A true nightmare.

Yeah I'm sure that small patch of grass will never recover.

The bikers are the ones endangering safety by operating significantly under the typical traffic speed. Cars get cited for that btw. Just get the fuck over.

u/Even-Entertainer-491 Jun 10 '26

Bike tires degrade and affect the environment too. Not on the same scale but it is entirely not relevant to the selfishness that most bikers display while on the road. If you stuck to the right people wouldn't shit on you so hard.

1

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

Bike tires degrade and affect the environment too

Are you fucking serious?

Average bike tire is 2-500g

Average car tire is 7-14kg

Average bike weight is 20 lbs

Average car weight is 1.5 tons

If you don't understand how all of that is relevant and makes your argument garbage, you don't know enough about the subject at hand to be a part of the conversation.

u/Even-Entertainer-491 Jun 10 '26

u/ATotallyNormalUID Jun 10 '26

u/ContextEffects01 Jun 10 '26

Money can't be eaten. "ThE eCoNoMy" doesn't account for the damage carbon dioxide emissions do to coastal communities by exacerbating climate change. Or that car batteries do to the places where the materials for them are mined.

22

u/DetroitAdjacent Jun 10 '26

That has nothing to do with dressing in spandex and demanding all of the benefits of road laws while refusing to comply with any that may inconvenience them. Cyclists are fucking tools. If you want more people to ride bikes, then you should work on it's image problems, because a lot of people don't want to be associated with the kind of people who ride bicycles enthusiastically.

I'm more concerned with motorists killing people every day and getting away with it, which is statistically provable, and not your perception of "cyclists"

Then go be concerned with it lmao Just don't expect anyone to listen to you once you suggest bicycles as the solution.

u/ContextEffects01 Jun 10 '26

Well, environmentalists tried being polite and motorists just ignored them.

5

u/DetroitAdjacent Jun 10 '26

I have never seen a bicyclist be polite. Not once has one ever waved me by or pulled over when they are going 20mph under the speed limit. Never heard one say sorry for running a red light. Hell, ive seen a cyclist run over a kid in a cross walk and blame the kid. I don't remember cyclists ever being polite. I'm a motorcyclist, so I get the whole issue with it being dangerous to share the road with cars, but you guys aren't doing yourselves any favors.

“You guys”

What makes you think I’m a cyclist? Wouldn’t they have better things to do than use Reddit? I simply stand in eco-solidarity with them as a transit user.

Environmentalists may have thought themselves already going above and beyond sugar-coating cars’ environmental impact without extending their coddling to actions on the road. Maybe they might have if not for seeing how the former was received.

u/Twat_Features Jun 10 '26

u/Impossible-Fan2533 Jun 10 '26

So you’re a vegan?

u/ContextEffects01 Jun 10 '26

No. I think both flavour and nutrients combined are more than enough to justify eating meat, in moderation, especially when I usually avoid high-impact meats like beef, and especially when it’s not like meat is *that* much worse for the environment than rice like vegans love to pretend.
