Haha. This is me. I don't even want to be there most of the tube
Respect the artists, add the source. Goddamn it's not that difficult: Tommy Siegel @ https://imginn.com/p/DSnDl53Dvhd/.
In case the proxy website above doesn't work anymore, "DSnDl53Dvhd" is the post's id on that society-eroding website owned by that soulless billionaire.

Well, that narrows it down
Xitter or Facebook?
His name is already on the image where he signed it.
"His name is already on the image where he signed it."
- With every "Save Image As" → "Share" cycle the picture quality tends to degrade. Sooner or later the signature becomes illegible or simply cropped out. Just look at the image quality difference now, after only being one day old!
- Moreover, few people click a link to the source to check out the artist. But, even fewer read the signature, search for the name, and start browsing from there. Let alone the hassle of reverse image searching.
You trying to give his website the hug of death? ;)
We're Lemmy. The best we can give is the hug of coma.
Peck of drowsiness
How is this a science meme
mfw I look at human impacts on the environment
I can understand the complaint though.
You might not have come if you knew beforehand that it would be this busy. But now that you’re finally here, you don’t want to waste the trip and decide to make the best of it. You just grumble a little that it’s so busy.
I would be there, except I'm stuck in traffic. Too many people on the roads (except me).
Whenever I go on one of my anti-car rants and somebody defensively announces they're a car guy, ready to fight, I just explain that I'm the traffic. The roads should be left to the car guys. It literally always goes over smoothly. Suddenly, they like train infrastructure because it frees up the scenic mountain roads.
That's why, if I'm stuck on busy roads and need to inform someone of my status, I will say that I'm traffic.
You're the traffic in the same way that a molecule of water in the ocean is the wave.
When I'm stuck in traffic, I generally am anti-traffic, meaning I drive in such a way to make the traffic behind me better than the traffic in front of me. The most basic way to do this is by increasing your follow distance. Instead of following 2 or 3 seconds behind, follow 5 or more seconds behind.
Most traffic is caused by people braking too hard. The most common reason is that they're following close enough that they have to brake hard when the person in front of them brakes hard.
By leaving space in front of you, you reduce the number of times you have to brake hard, thereby reducing the number of times the people behind you brake hard.
You also give people the chance to switch lanes if they want to. People cutting others off because they switch lanes without room is another common reason for hard braking.
People drive like it’s pvp but it actually should be co-op.
THANK YOU. I do the same! Then I get envious of the people behind me lol
I think I understand the joke, but I've seen things from this point of view as well. Something happened during and after pandemic lockdowns that has led to absolutely unprecedented numbers of people going out and hiking what were previously really quiet trails. It was already tough maintaining them before, now you've got tons of people who don't bother to know the norms or understood rules of the parks.
Several parks near me have had to institute an admittance/ticketing program with reservations made a month in advance just to enter the trailhead lot because they're so overrun with people now. It's great that people are outside and enjoying a public resource, but maybe it's just a few too many people all at once?
The trick is to go to places that aren’t popular, and never post pictures to social media.
There are places near me where I can stand on top of a mountain, in direct line of sight of millions of people, without having met a single person on the trail that day.
eco tourism, does wreak havoc on the places they go.
Me when I am in traffic 😔
My nephew always tells me: man i HATE traffic. And i tell him: but we are the traffic, we are part of the problem. I don't think he understands it yet.
The big US national parks had a reservation system for a bit. It was great.
If I get a ticket, I'll go and it'll be a pleasant experience. If I don't, well, I can take a tour bus in or I can just not go.
I appreciated that systemic fix, even if it sucks when you don't get a ticket and get to drive in exactly how you want. (You can still enter on foot or public transit.)
I read this as a horror prompt where the spealer isnt't human, lol
Well you’re in luck because a bill was introduced to sell National Parks to billionaires
Accidental self critique rule: Anyone who says "there are too many people" is the extra person.
I think there are three ways to handle this properly:
- If you know it's gonna be busy do not go there.
- If you must go there because you have something more important to do there than the rest of the crowd (e. g. tourists in your home city) you may complain all you want.
- If you go there, and there is a crowd, and they are all there for the same reason you are, you can talk, but not complain about it. You can't complain about people who all you know about is that they are behaving the same as you in a certain situation. That's like complaining about yourself. That's saying there are many people here, but you are not part of the people.
This is why I never go outside.
I bet they have a licence plate and bumper stickers that tell other people how environmentally friendly they are.
Me whenever I’m driving.
How I feel whenever I drive on the highway.
