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.

Fridges also don't crush people all that often.

Did you know?
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), there are around 20-30 fatal accidents related to refrigerators in the United States each year.

The majority of these accidents involve children under the age of 5 who become trapped inside the refrigerator or freezer.

Tip-over incidents are one of the leading causes of refrigerator-related fatalities, accounting for about 70% of the cases. (Source).

Now you know!

But if we don’t have fridges, all we will have is warm soda and no one likes that.

Yeah, but how do you feel that 20-30 people must die per year so you have a cool soda?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I'm okay with it, to be honest. If you piss off your fridge so much that it kills you, you probably had it coming.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Damned if I didn’t woosh myself.😞

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Except @WarmSoda of course.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It is not as if the warm soda cupboard can't tip over on top of you too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@warmsoda Are you trying to kill us with your cupboard?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you damned lemmings!

You mean your fridge doesn't have auto pilot??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Doesn't that put them on par with Tesla's?
