In order to update these spreadsheets and email some fuckers, society must allow for 200lbs of meat to be moved fifty miles per day. Because someone has to stare at me. The meat.

Great sketch.
They are right, who wants to meet meat?

Me.

“How strangely appropriate, that we be meats’ dream.”
Goddammit I love that.

A dream to meat.

And in the US, said transportation will likely make even less sense (in terms of weight, cost, and health/comfort).

Yes, you put 200 lb of meat into a 2,000 metal box with climate control, a couch, and sound system, then burn 1-3 gallons of gasoline.
This is required for efficient spreadsheets.

2,000Lbs is a low estimate. 2,500Lbs assumes they drive a subcompact, 4,100Lbs is the current average weight (and 2004 was already at 4K so I'm not sure if this statistic counts SUVs/trucks or not). Even Kei cars are 1500-2500Lbs (ICE versions being lighter, though there are smaller and lighter cars including 2-person EVs that are under 1K).
I would also add the time spent in a car (particularly in slow/jammed traffic) is also sedentary time (which an office job also likely is) and thus a health issue. So some people buy gym memberships which they must also drive to. If they even have the time/money/energy.
Also lots of bad things to be said about roads(/stroads) and parking lots etc. But the short of it is, they aren't places hospitable for living. Particularly on a hot day.

In my defense it was a Mazda 3.
These days it’s all remote work at a standing desk. I have Big Desk Energy.

CAFE standards required proportionally greater economy improvements in compact cars than in medium and large vehicles. Rather than attempt to meet those standards, manufacturers just stopped producing their smallest cars.
Fuel economy has worsened, because the average car on the road is bigger and heavier now than 30 years ago.

I literally did this for four years LMAO
Today I put in double those hours in bed, farting freely
