Why do you feed the troll? Downvote, report, move on.

All of them.

"Just a joke" is the ultimate attempt to invalidate criticism knowing the criticism is valid.

Looks like the built-in window organizing thing Win11 comes with. When you drag a window to the top edge a little menu pops open for tiling your open windows.

Doesn't work with every window though, but browsers and spotify can be arranged that way.

I've been doing that longer than 1990 has been old enough, so it's been 1.1.1980 for me.

It was Elendil's sword when it broke...

Fair enough, a seat on the back is the least safe option to transport kids.

There are options like this though. Seatbelts, low position, side walls.

That should be changed, shouldn't it?

It wouldn't be any dangerous if car and bike infrastructure was structurally separated (and if there were far fewer cars).

Because with capitalism we have such a large middle class now.

Yes, obviously. But the concept of 'race' is made up and basing it on skin color has even less foundation in biology.

And again, no other country does it. Country of birth, citizenship or cultural backgrounds might be collected, but not 'race'.

Manufacturing, generation of electricity with heavy use of fossil fuels (could be changed and is changing in many places, luckily) and particulate matter (for example through tire wear) mainly.

Still better than ICEs though.

Well either you could move to a different location if you want to, convince your community and local politicians to build better infrastructure, or realize that you are a minority, an edge case that usually is not adressed in these talks because a few people in remote locations using a car doesn't hurt if we could get rid of car dependency in densely populated areas where the vast majority of humans live.

It is not amount of gears that matter, it is range of transmission that does.

You are completely right. I just don't want to get too nerdy here.

Yeah, it seems a lot of people just don't know or don't want to know what proper clothing is. Maybe they don't even know it exists.

Which is surprising given how many people I see wearing super expensive outdoor/hiking jackets to go from the parking lot to the supermarket every time a drop of rain falls.

E-bikes still have a massive carbon footprint compared to regular bicycles,

The comparison is not between regular bikes and e bikes but between e bikes and cars. E bikes win this.

Either way, a car, even if its an EV, will be the better pick for every situation I stated above.

A 3000€ gaming machine will be better in any task than a 500€ office pc. But as long as the office pc is sufficient, why spend the extra money?

1. But I don't need a bigger car 99.999 percent of the time. Why should I buy a bigger one and pay it while not needing it instead of take a rental when I need to?
2. Please read my other comment.

Exactly. And in a hilly/mountainous area, you get a bike with multiple gears (21 gear bikes are not a rarity even in the north german plains where I live) or with electric motor support. If you need to get a lot of groceries you either do groceries more often or get a cargo bike. For bad weather there's clothing.

Nobody says a bike is perfect for everyone. But the vast majority of people live in urban environments and don't need to haul tons of cargo daily. Bikes are a piece of the puzzle and if only those people had a car who actually need one often it could be a huge piece.

Please tell me more about how easy it is to move furniture with a VW Polo!
