Yeah but what are we going to do, line all the streets with charging blocks? I wish we’d just invest that money in better public transit.

Can we confirm that this would produce higher-pitched burps if ingested?

Yeah but they don’t have a gag reflex, you just kinda feed them right into their stomach. They get fatter than they would on their own, but again, it’s animal agriculture, none of it is ‘natural’

Every single thing we can do to disincentivize loud, expensive, dangerous space-consuming cars having priority to the streets would be a net benefit to the city. We’ll always need some, but we could definitely stand to have way fewer if the city would just proportionally invest in public transit to compensate.
