Traffic "engineers" worship moloch, exhibit 356

These demons think this is the safest way to build a road, so if a driver loses control they can careen into the sidewalk before scratching their paint

I guess it's good that they at least used high-vis paint for the concrete structure, but man, they definitely had other options with their resources

(Also that barrier being outside of the sidewalk is fucking insane)

What is a better way to calm traffic without pouring concrete?

A crew of laborers with one truck can install one of these roundabouts in a single work day. This is as cheap as you are getting

the- I think the "without pouring concrete" stipulation is a bit disingenuous here, considering. Y'know. The whole DEADLY FIXED OBJECT thing. Concrete is quite literally dirt cheap.

There is no such thing as a deadly fixed object on neighborhood streets. That is a term from highway engineering that this Moloch worshipper is misappropriating.

Considering that drivers must keep to speeds that are non-fatal for pedestrians, any crash with a fixed object should be non-fatal after they expend their crumple zone and deploy airbags.

Cars that are not under the control of a responsive driver must be brought to a halt by any means necessary before they strike pedestrians.

no idea who moloch is but your point is valid, I also have no expertise whatsoever, so thanks for correcting me

Moloch is an metal god originally worshipped by the Canaanites. He is powered by internal combustion, and worshippers sacrifice their own children for prosperity.

Reviled and nearly forgotten for milenia, his cult has seen a new resurgence in North America since the early 20th century

“Chewbacca is… a Maoist. Hera Syndulla? A Trotskyist. Ahsoka Tano? A Social Democrat. Ezra Bridger? A Posadist. Lost! All of them, lost. I am the only one with clarity of purpose.”

I think you'll find that.....

No. He’s a Maoist.

"chewbacca is apolitical" is a misconception, he told the interviewer he didnt believe electoralism was a suitable strategy for the current material circumstances but the interviewer was a liberal and misunderstood.

#chewbacca literally fought two rebellions against a fascist regime and resisted the separatist occupation of his homeworld #i don't think this person knows what 'apolitical' means I think "guy who just likes fighting and will take whichever side his friends are on" is a type of apolitical

anyone else remember being 13 on tumblr and every morning youd scroll down until you got to posts from the night before like it was the morning paper 

One of these things is not like the others

What if instead of a jock strap it was a joke strap and clowns wore them. You wanna know how I got these cheeks?

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

This would only take a few weeks for a team who can learn metallurgy beforehand

Public health officials launching rabid animals into RFK Jr knowing that he if they bite him there's nothing he can do about it

I respect the hustle but RFK does, in fact, have a very firm track record when it comes to murdering animals. This may not be a type-advantaged attack.

All it takes is one bite and he'll get an illness for which the only cure is one he won't take

tumblr please stop telling me to wd40 a mouse

The fact that Mars is red is so... symbolically resonant. The fact that Mars is red for the same reason that rust is red, which is also the same reason that blood is red, is so symbolically resonant. There used to be water on Mars, maybe life. A very, very long time ago. Not anymore. Red planet.
