What silly inconvinient stuff would you outlaw if you could? (lemmy.ml)

I'd outlaw sauce bottles which make getting it all out harder, especially the ones which don't have the opening at the bottom and make it impossible to put the bottle with the opening facing downwards.

You may be talking about the same thing I am, just using terminology more common in other parts of the world. By "motorways" are you only talking about highways/interstates? I can absolutely agree with THAT, but if by motorways you mean any roads, that might actually be a nightmare for side roads, residential, etc.

"Motorway" is UK English for a controlled-access highway like a US Interstate, German Autobahn, etc....

Cool, cool. That's what I thought, but just making sure.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Then we agree.

Awesome, just wanting to make sure. Yeah I don't think that's a spicy take at all. Here in the states we already drove as if speed limits on highways don't exist, it's just a convenient revenue stream extracted from the ones unlucky enough to be picked out of the pack lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Highway is just another word for a road between places, and interstate is obviously a term local to the few countries that have states and name motorways accordingly. It's that more than one country? Motorway is the more international term.

Yeah, I was thinking that was the case, just wanted to clarify before I made a point that didn't actually address anything the OP said.
