Wu WeiAccording to this bus ad, you could be on a Zoom call with a bunch of furries right now.

@wuweiwolf It's always the furries.
MrGrumpyMonkey@nlupo @wuweiwolf You state that like it's a problem.
Gustav Wengel@wuweiwolf My average workday as a Rust developer.
Moonshine Fox@wuweiwolf So a tech call then :P
The Doctor@moonshine_fox @wuweiwolf Don't you mean :3 ?
Your Winged Bull bro@wuweiwolf one has to wonder where this campaign is running and whether it thinks it's the employees who need to be convinced or if it's another "carbon footprint". I don't think I ever met anyone who wanted to go into the office if there was another option.
And when there's a furry chat on the line, well
@HisNameIsOx
I know it's running in the Denver area, because that's where I took this pic myself yesterday. Though I'm not totally sure why they act like it's the commuters who need to be convinced, rather than their bosses. The overall goal of the campaign is to reduce ozone pollution, especially on smoggy days.

@KellicTiger @wuweiwolf I wish :(
a stinky ox 🐂@wuweiwolf I'd like to speak with Mr. Bull please. 🐂

Never in my life have I heard anyone be concerned about *ozone* pollution.
Out of all air pollutants, ozone is not on my list of worries. Combustion engines don't even produce ozone? That's usually an electrical process, like from subway trains. Which always run regardless of passenger load.
I do not understand this sign at all
@rolenthedeep
Ozone is not directly emitted in car exhaust, but it is produced by photochemical reactions involving gasses that *are* produced by combustion engines, such as nitrous oxides. As a result, it is present in significant quantities anywhere where there is a large amount of car exhaust or similar fossil fuel emissions encountering sunlight. Especially in cities like Denver with high amounts of UV radiation and frequent meteorological inversions that trap gasses near ground level. Since ozone is fairly toxic, this is a pretty significant public health issue.

@rolenthedeep @wuweiwolf I never heard of this either, until my partner told me about growing up with ozone alerts in DFW. So, yah, it is quite the concern for quite a few people.

@wuweiwolf I don't approve of this shit. why do I have human hands????

@wuweiwolf Oh, it was a bit more visible on a larger screen, I sorry, yes, these paws acceptable!
Dio9sys@wuweiwolf that's the goal, yeah
kira for scale@wuweiwolf and i should be!!!1
Luna the Deer@wuweiwolf i can't name a better marketing scheme!

☭@wuweiwolf I should be on a video call with a bunch of furries right now
@wuweiwolf I don't understand, though: Who is this ad for? Who has the option to just work from home instead of commuting? Surely, if you had a work-from-home agreement, you would already be working at home and not commuting to the office, and therefore not see this ad? If people are commuting to work, they probably are forced by their employer to commute to work?
@vaporeon_
I had the same thought. The idea seems to be that if you're a hybrid worker who decides what days you go to the office, they want you to sign up for ozone alerts that tell you when there's likely to be a bad ozone day and tell you to stay home.
Buuuut... it seems like the number of commuters who are in that situation is probably pretty small. And the number who would change which days they go to work purely due to an ozone alert is even smaller. So it doesn't really make sense to me.
Violet@Ice:~$💜
@wuweiwolf I'd take that work in a heartbeat
boreq@wuweiwolf "ditch your commute", I actually find this quite tone deaf and offensive, do they think people want to commute to work for however long out of their own preference? wtf
lesser scribe Anna of Leafrain, resident of the principality of Debian in its XIII-th erawhat is one supposed to do after seeing this ad …
do they help people find remote jobs ?
@lystopad
I've also been baffled by that. I guess, charitably, that the goal is to influence people who already have hybrid work arrangements where they can choose to work from home some days, and to get them to avoid driving on days when atmospheric conditions are such that smog/ozone pollution is likely to be especially bad.
But that feels like such a niche situation. "You could be working from home right now" is not true for most people who see this ad placed on the back of the bus.
Soren!@wuweiwolf is that... TJ from Echo? Congrats on the job ig but I didn't picture him having a desk job
