Ask Lemmy

I don't think these people necessarily think it's cool either. They want attention and to annoy people, which is what they get.

Even worse with motorcycles. Seems like most people own motorcycles specifically for "fun" (waste fuel and make noise).

And just generally being loud. Even regular cars can be loud if you drive like an asshole.

I'm about two months into owning a fully-electric vehicle (not a Tesla, thank goodness), and I have a hard time getting over how wonderfully quiet it is. And it's one of the qualities I couldn't wait to experience.

And loud motorcycles.

And the ice cream truck playing jingles. I am not a fan of people driving trucks into neighbourhoods and playing loud music to advertise.

Another reason to look forward to electric vehicles! Imagine a world 20 years from now where the noise is vanishing, the gasoline/deisel smell is only for the diehards going to that one remaining service station that still sells it, no more visible emissions from cars or rolling coal!

Sounds like something a beta would say

Around here it's the boomers who are smoking cigarettes!

I think you just sound like a rational human being that doesn't consistently use their emotions for decision making.

My pet peeve is people cycling with a helmet but not doing it up. It's so blatantly stupid- you get none of the benefits, and all of the negatives.

I've got a close elderly family member who's recently gotten fixated on investing in crypto, watching all the YouTube videos on the subject.

I don't know enough about it to confidently say they're going to lose all their money, I've never looked into it because it just screams get rich quick scheme, but I don't have high hopes for them.

Flashing money. Loud "notice me" logos on everything, although I don't know how many wealthy people do that.

I always liked smoking weed in the park. Usually in my car or out on a secluded trail. Never felt the need to drop n bombs tho

Now that cigarettes are finally going away, it was nice to breathe fresh air for a bit, but it’s getting worse again. There are so many cannabis options that don’t ruin other people’s enjoyment of the outdoors, can’t smoking just go away entirely?

There’s this one bench area on our town common that permanently reeks of pot smoking. It’s outside, no one around, yet it still stinks. And it stinks enough that walking g by on the sidewalk is unpleasant.

Or that riverwalk, where we can enjoy brief experiences of nature in between all the islands of pot smoke.

Not sure who thinks this is cool but, yeah, that's not a convo I'm jumping in on.

I hate having a car. I think it's stupid and unnecessarily expensive.
