fake: anon has a girlfriend gay: anon dislikes women so he pretends to ‘prank’ them
First time green text EVER had me laughing! Ever.
fake: anon has a girlfriend
gay: uhhhh oh no is this real
Wait, we’re discussing the wrong thing entirely.
This woman took the bus for a one mile hike while she was in college? Like, in her twenties she looked at the prospect of walking for just over a kilometer and a half, a distance you can apparently cover by bike faster than by bus, and she went “nah, I need mechanical help for that”.
This happened in the US, didn’t it?
To be clear, this did not happen at all
Oh, you go around telling kids about the tooth fairy, too? Get in the spirit.
How about you get in the spirit of doing your chemistry homework instead of posting on lemmy
Lemmy: Cars are a plague and shouldn’t exist, communities need functional public transit
Also Lemmy: Someone used public transit when they could have walked? Pathetic.
Both can be true. I love public transport, but I wouldn’t take the bus for 1.5 km. I’d walk or, at most, take my bike.
Yes, also if it’s a little rainy outside.
What if you’re carrying a heavy backpack and the bus stop is right next to your class?
Don’t even bother, gatekeepers gonna gatekeep
I’m sure the physically disabled students at that college appreciate you letting them know that you think one mile is too short for a bus ride
Lots of universities have free busses that you can just walk on, no pass or anything needed that loop around campus. They’re so frequent and convenient that using them is often just the routine, even if it’s not literally faster. It’s easy to get into the habit of waiting for the bus on cold days, and you keep it in the summer.
This thread is giving me tons of excuses to take the bus for a ten minute walk and not a lot of spirited strutting.
I’ll check my chauvinism, though, from the dialectalism alone, there’s clearly plenty of lazy young people to go around worldwide.
1 mile
take the bus
This is a complete fiction, right?
I don’t know why everyone’s going on about weather. 1 mile is a 20 minute walk. A bus can do it in 5. That’s huge time savings regardless of the weather.
But speaking of the weather: if you live in a hot desert climate, a 20 minute walk could be deadly. Much safer to ride in the air conditioned bus.
