Internet as an art

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

My theory is that all traffic planning in Germany is being done by drunk chimpanzees. This confirms it yet again.

The city planner: „What do you mean? This intersection is just fine. I drive my car through it every day.“

And it complies with all regulations. As long as we comply with regulations, we don't have to come up with reasonable solutions.

You can easily tell it’s not American because it’s even there in the first place. You don’t get a sign explaining the bike paths and crosswalks in America. You just gotta know or get fucked. Also we wouldn’t have a complicated bike route we just wouldn’t have one, solves that issue…

See, I watch Adam Something videos from the point of view that he's not really talking about America. He's talking about European politicians looking at terrible ideas from America and trying to replicate them.

This is a pretty good example. America wouldn't do this, exactly, but it's a step towards our terrible bike infrastructure. The other poster had the right of it: in America, the sign wouldn't be there at all, but the intersection would still be badly designed.

I've been staring at it for a moment and am still unsure if I understood everything properly. xd
