It’s really bad these days. A lot of the smaller subs are riddled with blatant AI slop posts and comments. What’s even the point of being on the site when you’re talking with bots?

I mean it’s possible that before the meme creator put the picture of the Marlborough Reds over the screenshot of the post, it said something like “DeWalt” or “Makita”.

- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 9 months ago:
Oh I see. Most of Australian cities are actually suburban and have had wider footpaths than necessary, as well as parking buffers. It’s trivially easy to just convert one side into a protected bike lane.
I still argue that in a lot of urban areas where the road has swelled to its natural limit, depending on the road, it can be good to reduce the road by one lane and add a protected bike lane. But this is situational. Not every road needs a bike lane. But there should be bike lanes every so often, so people can safely get close to their destination without bothering motorists.
It’s too much of a mental simulation to imagine how reducing car lanes becomes a benefit to those that must drive because of a reduction of traffic and potential improvement to overall flow.
Fair enough. Although reducing a road by a lane can improve congestion, it isn’t always the case, and isn’t a simple sell.

They think of it as a zero-sum game
But it’s not.
The reason you need more lanes is because of a growing population using a fixed set of roadways. As you add protected bike lanes, more and more people opt for using a bicycle. This means fewer people on the road, negating the need for the extra roadway.
If you spend limited tax dollars on bike infrastructure, driving infrastructure will not receive necessary maintenance.
I’m not sure what you personally believe, but this is not true at all.

I’m Australian, so maybe my experience with cyclists and cycling infrastructure is different. We usually extend our roads and have a green lane for cyclists, or even dedicated cycling ways alongside the footpath (sidewalk).
People here whinge that these protected cycle ways get built. And I’m just baffled.

When car drivers are stupid they get in a small prang and have to pay the excess on someone else’s insurance.
When cyclist are stupid, they end up in a hospital or the morgue.

I’m Aussie, so unfortunately it’s targeted at Australians driving huge American pickup trucks. :(
