The two main causes of people missing limbs are cars & wars which are fought for dead dinosaur fuel for cars, which are a transportation medium meant for speed over safety, and super inefficient, with a very low payload( passengers & cargo )/vehicle ratio. Most of the energy a car uses is used to haul itself, at high speed, so heavy armor is necessary.

End cars. End wars. End missing limbs.
Oil things must pass.
End cities.
Bicycles /w bamboo truss frames & solar batteries. 🌻

@purrperl End cities, for fucking real.

Population density is _the_ problem.

@audubonballroon

@bobdobberson @purrperl @audubonballroon Oh hurray for sprawl. So lovely to live 2 miles from the nearest grocery store.

@jhavok living 2 miles from a grocery store is an artifact of car-centric society. You are far from your grocery store because cars need to live around you.

Maybe we could fix that. Maybe you could have a grocery store within walking distance.

@purrperl @audubonballroon

@bobdobberson @purrperl @audubonballroon People are far from their grocery stores because they go "ugh cities" and think sprawl is better. High density makes public transit practical.

@jhavok cities with populations under 100k are a lot more logical and practical than cities with populations over 1 million.

@bobdobberson @jhavok @audubonballroon

People in cities live in a concrete jungle, cut off from the rhythms, subtle sights, sounds and smells, of Nature.

People in urban buildings live like chimps in cages, stacked on top of each other. Not enough space, and too many chimps in proximity, and the mammalian stress level goes up. Not healthy.

@purrperl @bobdobberson @audubonballroon Gotta wonder why I see so many Trump signs in the healthy rural areas so closely in touch with nature.

@jhavok because the people in rural areas are targeted by the media they consume? Like people in population dense areas. Plenty of Trump signs in the suburbs and cities, too.

@purrperl @audubonballroon

@bobdobberson @purrperl @audubonballroon Trump lost the urban areas and won the rural areas, giving him the Electoral College. I'm in a deep Blue region, but I only need to drive 20 minutes into farm country to start seeing Trump signs still up...though not as many as 2020 thank goodness.

@jhavok so NOBODY voted for Trump in your population dense / urban area?

@purrperl @audubonballroon

@bobdobberson @purrperl @audubonballroon I swear, kolectiva has the lowest IQ of any instance. How does that happen?

@jhavok @bobdobberson @audubonballroon

Probably because of fools who think that intelligence is a linear dick measuring contest and can be reduced to IQ, and not a spectrum of abilities, some barely quantifiable.
