That's the scary part though, I don't get any more bugs hitting the windshield while travelling. Used to need to wash it after arriving but now they are just gone... We completely fucked up the environment

Sad thing is, anybody still not worried by, or unconvinced of, this being our fault also likely sees this as very good news.
I think it might be two things. Less bugs, and more aerodynamic cars. My last car almost had zero bugs on the windshield the 10 years I had it. My car now gets a decent amount every time I go on the highway.
I mean, its very likely we live in different places. As an aerospace engineer though, I dont remember any revolution happening to aerodynamics in the past 10 years, I even used the same model car back then and newer version more recently with minimal changes to the exterior
I'm sure you would know better than me but it's either that or the bugs started coming back as soon as I got my new car. Which just happens to be less aerodynamic than my old one. Because the difference was instantly noticable. I drive about 10 hours back to my hometown to see my kid and noticed the difference the first time I did the drive with this car.
But did you see what the big was wearing? It was totally asking for it
According to physics, movement is relative. So both you and bug family are right.
Man, if only back when I killed those 5 pedestrians I would've said "the pedestrians hit me". Now I'm going to jail. Oh well
I have legitimately had a pedestrian hit me.
I was stopped and my car was in park waiting for a gas pump to open up. This idiot watching TikTok’s while walking proceeds to walk straight into the side of my car, and then started yelling at me.
I was in a parking spot too.
When I was a kid, I ran my bike into a parked car. Of course, this was back before cars were mostly fiberglass, so it hurt me more than the car, lmao
You had a terrible lawyer if they couldn't get you off of those charges.
He stepped into the road, he knew the risks of jayflying
A deer hit my car once. And that is the right phrasing. It slammed into my moving vehicle which was moving at a 90 angle to its path. I had no choice in the matter.
Lol yes of course. At this point posting that is very akin to blaming me for how society exists in its current form, like that famous cartoon. "Curious, you participate in society yet disagree with it"
I have built my life around avoiding driving in the years since this incident for a million reasons, so you're preaching to the choir.
History is written by the victors
A meme I made a few months ago:
I said the same thing about that firefighting plane that hit that drone. The drone was just hovering there when that idiot pilot flew a fucking plane into it.
Let the bug's family hit it too, I hate all the little fuckers
