Based sun.
Excellent!
Never *LIVE west of your job unless you work nights
(previously used the word “work” which made it redundant sorry)
I usually try and work on location of my job
I do and it blows. In fall the sun will be lower in the sky when I go home and reflect perfectly off the road so that everything is blinding.
Eh, I just took out a restraining order and changed to a night shift and now the sun never bothers me.
restraining order
Against the sun…? Can you do that??
Nice, new job search constraint
I do. Its only a problem for about 3-4 weeks every year though. After that, the sun is high enough in the morning to not bother anyone.
Counted one crash due to this on my commute this year.
Witnessed a car crash a few years ago right in front of me because of this. I was the second car in line heading south at a traffic light. When our light turned green, a car heading west in the late afternoon ran the red light and smashed into the car in front of me.
I saw them coming and said, “Watch out!” but of course that did no good. The driver of the westbound car said she lost the traffic light in the sun and didn’t realize it was red. I have no idea why you’d continue on at 40 mph if you weren’t sure you had a green light, but here we are.
I had chosen that route home intentionally to avoid driving into the sun. Had I been the first car in that line, I might have been involved in the crash despite my caution.
Yes, because people driving to work deserve to have their eyes stabbed 🙄
What kind of fucking moron creates stuff like this one?
I don’t think the artist is implying that people driving to work “deserve” it. Just that it happens by nature of a typical commute time with sunrise and sunset.
ill say it, these east going zax are soft and uncultured, compared to us far superior west going zax.

While I agree that exhaust gas and tire debris aren’t healthy, I don’t think we can reasonably say those cause lung cancer in children. Certainly not in any meaningful number.
Lung cancer only accounts for 0.2 percent of pediatric cancers. And even then, it’s hard to say exactly what caused it: genetics, second hand smoke, radon, asbestos exposure… Exhaust and tire debris MIGHT cause cancer in a particular child, but let’s not freak people out beyond what’s reasonable.

So I guess next time you look for a house/job, make sure the house is east of your job so you have the sun in the back in the morning and in the evening.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
This comment has “vaccines cause autism” energy.
Your parents had “semen cause autism” energy
You got a lot of tests handed back face down didn’t you?
The comment was deleted, do you remember vaguely what it said
You can check the modlog.
Oh cool. I’m on voyager on mobile how do I do that
Bring it up in a browser. I can’t bring it up in the jerboa app either.
Way to miss the fucking joke.
I swear, a lot of people here on Lemmy are immune to comedy
Fucking not fucking funny
Lol, it’s even more funny now.
The people in the fuckcars community probably. They talk like this all the time.
I’ll never understand this sentiment that we’re all supposed to move into the same neighbourhood that we work, or walk over 70km to get to our workplace?
Most anti-car people are in favor of improving public transit options.
I’m anti car. But I’m not in favor of banning cars. I want public transport to be good enough that people want to use it instead of cars.
If I want to get from where I live to the city centre during rush hour, it’s actually faster to take the tram than to drive, and that’s before looking for a parking spot
What is it we imagine “banning cars” actually means?
I’m not disagreeing, but I’m curious. Does anyone think there’s a serious policy proposal to just…ban cars. Like, “starting May 1st, there will be no cars. Authorities will be collecting your car, and it will be crushed and melted down to make bikes. If you live in the middle of nowhere…well I guess you’ll have to eat pinecones or something.”
Obviously, that’s silly to even consider, but I am absolutely in favor of banning cars on at least a couple of specific streets in my city. We could do it today, and no one would be more than mildly inconvenienced, and the new car-free spaces would be thoroughly enjoyed.
What if I were to tell you you start with those few streets and then keep expanding the bans?
Well yeah of course, and meanwhile keep building out alternatives and walkable neighborhoods. See how far we can go.
let them eat pinecones
You first

Yeah, I’m all for that. And it’s easy. Just revoke all licences.
Sounds like you are grumpy. You should take a nap.
It couldn’t be someone who drives east in the morning, noooo, it has to be someone who hates cars…
Dude, stop thinking like that.

Huh, couldn’t be that they are driving east in the morning.
Don’t be as smart as your screen name.
This is your punishment for inventing commutes.
My experience with Australia so far.
