Comment on America

American here. I use 24h time, vastly favor roundabouts over traffic lights, and I would rather poop at home with my bidet attachment than get paid to poop at work. I’m not exactly your average American, but there are probably millions of us. The world mostly hears the loud dipshits because they are loud and their thoughts are dipshit enough that people who hear them feel the need to tell somebody about what a stupid dipshit take they heard from some loud dipshit.

Yeah, I’m also an American. Those are examples from personal experience.

When I was growing up the dipshit town where my family lived was thinking about installing a roundabout instead of the series of 4 lights in front of the Walmart. The level of genuine panic it caused was insane. Huge groups at city council meetings with signs worried about car insurance rates going up because of “all the accidents it will cause!” Needless to say, it didn’t happen. Meanwhile, roundabouts work just fine for the rest of Earth and I’ve only ever seen one accident in one, due to construction.

  Why on earth would anyone be afraid of roundabouts? Like they aren’t even more complicated than traffic lights to understand.

    Fear of change and hate of “The Other.” Town full of the most hate-filled Boomers I’ve ever seen.

  Roundabouts should decrease premiums, as they essentially eliminate Tbone collisions

  In Europe, all our roundabouts gave bidets installed. This is to repel all the dipshits.
