Baby blue whales weigh 10 times that amount!
Did I cover all the bases here?
Yeah, but they aren’t born ON earth, they kinda float several miles above the earth they live above.
Sky whales!
I love Fantasia!
Came here to say that
BUT I NEED THAT LANE TO PASS GRANDMA ON THE RIGHT GOING 60 IN A SCHOOL ZONE
That is completely untrue.
The second-biggest babies are blue whales, who are a bit over 1800kg at birth.
I’m a motorist, and I get pissed when I hear that a bike lane is being added.
Mainly because bike lanes suck. We need dedicated infrastructure for bikes. The discrepancy in mass and velocity between a person and a car is too great to have both using the same infrastructure. Slapping some paint on a road and calling good simply isn’t enough.
A bike lane can (and should be) more than just paint.
A dotted line and a symbol on the ground do not a bike lane make.
Give me some of them concrete barrier separations.
a painted line is not a bike lane, it’s a transit washing… they put it in, no one uses it because it sucks and then they say see, no one rides bikes
Here I am hoping one day to see reasonable legislation in my country to just cater for motorcycles, and not regulate is with the same rules and toll fees as a large SUV towing a boat on a trailer. Funny enough when they tried putting in bicycle lanes in Johannesburg people complained and said it is just for rich people and anti poor. Then all the taxis started using it as parking or driving ways. So they built the infrastructure but the political will was not there, and the police in Johannesburg weren’t really wanting to take on the taxi mafia, nor poor people wanting to be robbed on bicycles or being robbed of said bicycle
And here I thought Lemmy finally had a baby elephants sub.
Here in my city, there’s a former rail corridor turned into a bike commuter path, despite the neighborhood screeching about crime and property values. Today, houses on the path command a price premium, but that’s beside the point.
Anyway, some years ago, a local celebrity chef announced plans to build a café on the path, unreachable by car. Drivers’ predictable reaction:
They basically bullied him into dropping the idea.
My town built good bike paths, I could follow the road and breath fumes, or I could ride along the river valley on the path
Near the city centre one of the paths around the lake has a cafe on the bike path that’s a 20m walk from the footpath and inaccessible to cars
Man - And I thought POTUS had the title locked up…
whats that in Metric?
Just shy of 18 stone
According to the converter I use, it’s about 118 kg. Not the most fortunate name for a converter, but it’s handy.
At least until war is declared, gas prices spike, and suddenly they want public trans and to use scooters.

I wish!
When gas prices hit $3.80 under Obama here in the Midwest, I just remember vividly the buses being full to bursting… only time that’s ever happened in my adult life.
I see people idling their cars all the time, here, despite the current price of fuel (in Denmark). They just don’t care. It’s a problem for politicians to solve, in their mind, so they just vote for the first asshole who says he’ll solve it and then they whine on facebook about bicyclists on the roads.
same here in Australia, so it’s a human stupidity thing, rather then a national thing. I had expected better if Denmark
NSW made it illegal to sit idling years ago, apparently to address the noise problem
