The second image is from Mumbai so nice trolling.
Ok, fuck car infrastructure, but why are the images in the panels switched/mislabeled? Some Asian joke?
The giant intersection is obv China (looked it up - Guiyang) and the not-that-planned-out is India (Mira-Bhayandar).
The current Indian Prime Minister bootlickers bring up some GDP growth rate numbers and compare them with Pakistan and Bangladesh thus giving a false sense of superiority that India is developing rapidly—I mean yes but only compared to those countries. So the people who still have their brain cells started this meme trend.
Ohh, interesting, thx for the context!!
Yeah, it’s probably ‘meta-joke’ or something. It’s shitpost, after all
Yes, it seemed obvious, but I didn’t know why.
india also has pollution so thick you are instantly covered in poisonous dust.
EU: I’m good, thanks
Yes, all good here.
Just because they built one tunnel, doesn’t make Düsseldorf a pedestrian or cycling friendly city. The opposite is very much true.
I know where I’d rather live:
(Seoul city motorway removal)
Yeah, that, but with more wildlife
That’s a wild take
We’re on our way!
I thought you were going to link this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VWCvjPOove0 (Wild boars blocked tram traffic in Olsztyn, north eastern Poland)
I get you. The people just aren’t ready to hear this. We’re way over our carrying capacity. If you refute this, child, open your eyes. Reality is more than numbers.
In a way you have to appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity that goes into a project like that. But the result and the consequences are really a weird thing to be proud off
The engineering is incredible. Imagine if it had been applied to a better purpose.
That’s what fucks me up. Imagine what could’ve been. Same with that stupid line they build in the sand that’s gonna be a data center now apparently.
engineering incredible until it has a slight earthquake, and realize government officials embezzled the money meant for safe infrastructure
Disgusting highways and car exhaust fumes, gross no matter where you’re from 🤢
But think of the children! How will the poor children get their healthy dose of microplastics into their lungs, if not through breathing in particles from tyre wear?
Unapologetically I love that top image.
You know what I’m gonna do?
I’m gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible
Hot pink with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for head lights (Yeah)
And I’m gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin’ one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald’s
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when I’m done sucking down those greaseball burgers
I’m gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I’m gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain’t a goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why? Because we’ve got the bomb, that’s why
Two words: nuclear fucking weapons, okay?China, and India both have nuclear weapons.
If there’s a source for this I need it, if not… damn that’s good posting
found the butt hurt indian
Bike paths please.
Fuck this, I’d rather see less of this and more pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. Stroads in particular are one of man’s worst inventions IMO.
personally I would rather turn a hour long commute across state lines into a four hour long walk.
think of how thick my calves would be!
Average walking speed is 4km/h. So in four hours, you’d go 16km. If it takes you an hour to go 16km by car, then you’d literally be faster on a bike, because you can go past traffic without stopping
60mph, takes an hour, 60 miles distance.
that’s around 97km.
I guess my math was wrong, at 4km/h it would take me 24 hours, not 4.
👍 thanks!
edit: why the downvotes? the math checks out.
trains, busses, and bikes exist
That and I was talking more about infrastructure where you could easily walk to places too instead of having to drive everywhere
maybe where you live. closest train station is an hour away from me.
closest bus stop is an hour away from me
riding a bicycle would make my hour long commute two hours.
if I drove to a bus stop and rode a bus the rest of the way to work it would still take me two hours.
it’s always a black or white solution with you people and you never think of the grey area. dare I say at least 50% of the US population falls into the grey. if a solution fails to accommodate for more than half a population it’s not a solution, it’s just ineffective.

Says the guy unnecessarily inserting USA in the discussion.
We are well aware your transit sucks. No need to tell us again and again.
it always interesting to people who say ‘with current levels of funding’.
because taxes should be going to give you a closer train stop…
they should, but that’s not the reality we live in.
Only cause you don’t go to your city council meetings.
you know what they say about assumptions…
the only way things improve is we start demanding better.
lying down won’t do a thing
then demand it of your leaders, don’t demand it of your equals. we’re just as helpless as you are.
This reminds me of Cities: Skylines. Top picture is when you create spaghetti. Bottom picture is how I started my first map. I had no idea what I was doing and connected a big road directly to the highway at the starting point.
I mean maybe that is some engineering and planning marvel but not the kind that is good for your sanity in the long run. Just saves the day.
Id rather have the cars drive above and have nature in the ground, but I also kinda enjoy being under overpasses so I know I’m weird
Both look the same to me tbh
they both look terrible to me
