[meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars? - eviltoast

    Sure buddy, spend a few hours hopping public transport each day is so much fun.

    Cars are superior in every single way, it’s paupers that cry out of jealousy we’re seeing here.

    They know cars aren’t the problem, there are industries out there that spew out the equivalent of millions of cars but they don’t bitch about that.

      hmmm, do I want to sit in a train, flip my laptop open and do some work, then walk through a park to the office for today… Or do I want to sit in traffic and do nothing…

      Tough choice there

          Work time starts when I open the laptop. I’m not volunteering that time, since i’m not completely insane. It makes a huge difference whether my workday starts in the office, or in the train.

        You’re right. It’s been raining all day today with a forecast of thunderstorms, I absolutely want to sit in a warm, dry box and not walk through the park :p

        I’m gonna be real, I’d 100% rather sit in traffic. It’s somewhat relaxing to me.

        I hate this trend that we need to be working all the time, even during our commute.

          To each their own. I prefer 2 hours of working in the train and 6 in the office to traveling for 2 hours and working 8 hours in the office

      Those industries don’t pump out their emissions in my city for me to breathe in, nor do they threaten to maim or kill me on a regular basis.
