This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

I read the text in the picture and it was really nice, but then I read the title of the post.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 2 months ago

It honestly reads like a conservative on facebook trying to rustle vegans' jimmies.

As a vegan, my jimmies are in fact rustled

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 17 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What on earth does this title mean

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

forest puppies = deer. OP likes teriyaki venison (but they're wrong- Dales seasoning liquid + ~~woshtesheeshtershishter~~ Worcestershire sauce is where it's at)

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 4 points 2 months ago

Ah. Thanks for explaining. How vile.

Such wisdom, much woah.

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

We also have a historically high population of white tails. Cars are just their most prominent natural predator.

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

People don't like hearing about the deer population explosion from the past hundred years.

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah because we killed all their predators to protect our livestock.

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And people don't like talking about hunting or reintroducing predators either

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Nah, we'd rather push the fence out further.

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I feel that way about furries, but what are we going to do?

[–] LovesTha@floss.social 1 points 2 months ago

@Voyajer @AgentOrangesicle Yeah, they really need to be exterminated (at least for a few thousand km from here)

[–] brognak@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Yea, was gonna say. The whole deer problem is 100% man made, but it wasn't cars per se. Just good ole fashioned urbanization absolutely destroying the populations of their predators. Now there's more deer than ever before, and that's not great for them or us.

Cara have now taken over for wolves. Weirdly, the wolves probably had a better success and survival rate since the humble deer is almost purpose built for fucking up a car. Deer have been seemingly drafted by nature to be the true terroristic avengers of the Earth only surpassed but the moose. But they don't have the sheer weight of numbers just sheer weight.

If I believed in a higher power, it would be because deer are engineered to collide with cars

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

I prefer jalapeno dry seasoning.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You don't eat a deer you hit with your car

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I mean... you might not

[–] Ridgetop18@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

I've eaten several roadkill deer lol.

Limits what you can do with the meat, but it's still venison.

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Burgoo exists though
