It's not that it's unsafe to drive in Detroit due to crime, it's just that the automotive industry lobbied hard to make the country car friendly, and that city faced the worst of it.

This scene has nothing to do with car-centric city design

[–] Moneo 33 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean, car centric design is less safe than human centric design. You're safer when there's more people around.

But if you're stuck in the woods, do you want to come across a person or a car?

[–] problematicPanther 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Does the car have a person in it?

[–] edgemaster72 13 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't, but beware it carries a terrible curse...

........does it have a bear in the car?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

It's toppings contain potassium benzoate

I think in this case it'd be "be were (car)"

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

A bear.

[–] jagungal 4 points 7 months ago

A phone

It's harder to get shanked with people around you in the middle of the street

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It's people who are going to shank you

I think you should leave

~~Edit: lol guys, for real, how do you not get the joke…? It’s literally the source material for the meme. It’s the name of the show.~~

E2: I think I should leave :(

Your downvoter didn’t get your reference sadly!

Only you can fight meme illiteracy

Edit: to be fair, it was actually me who was being meme illiterate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

The meme is from the show Detroiters, but it has many of the same writers/actors
