This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

from the tardygrade's perspective is it playing a large violin or a normal-sized cello?

Size-wise, relative to him, it's much closer to a violin than a cello, maybe slightly larger. So a viola would be the best fit. I think the picture is of a cello though, just sized strangely.

Edit: that image is strange. It's really popular, but bad. He's playing the strings from the wrong side of the bridge. How do you get that wrong?

Because of the size difference between humans and tardigrades, it's hard for tardigrades to attend music lessons and otherwise learn about human musical instruments, so give him a chance, he's probably trying his best.

It's impressive enough that a creature without thumbs is able to hold the bow in the first place, and you want to criticise him for how he's holding his cellolin?

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

He's holding the bow perfectly though, its just weird of him to miss the bridge

I'm ripping this response directly from another conversation on this image, I don't actually know anything about cello.

He's playing Penderecki!

It has to be a normal-sized cello, a violin would have toe be the other way around.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

you can play a violin like that, but it would need to rest on your knee, and I'm just not seeing it
