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

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

Does anyone else find it crazy how absolutely lazy people got? When i go shopping in a lidl, it has pretty good parking, the furthest spot is maybe 50m away. But there are always a few lazy asses who park right next to the entrance where there is no parking, the handicapped spot or the ev charging spot (without being disabled or owning a ev. Even worse in an underground parking where i sometimes go. These fuckers rather wait and block the lane to park as close as possible, while half the parking on the other side is empty, and the spot is quite literally 3 car lengths away, you don't have to wait to get in and you are closer to the exit where you also don't have to wait. Biggest pea brains park there i swear.
I think people always were this lazy, but they were more considered to others.
By historical examples of monarchs/royalty being literally carried by other people I have doubts.
Are you arguing that the monarchs were lazier?
I'm arguing people have always been this lazy and inconsiderate.
So far, your point was only about monarchs being that.
Sorry, I didn't realize monarchs were a different species.
Totally. They fly from Mexico to north-east in several generations, then return back in a single year.
YES. In the US I've noticed tons and tons of people parking in the Fire Lane (in front of the entrances of stores in strip mall). It used to just be lazy asshats who left their partner in the car so they could move it if a cop came. But now every store has unattended cars in front. It makes driving through the shopping area hazardous as now the extra-wide 2-lane roadway is blocked by a car. It also makes it a lot harder to spot pedestrians since they have to weave through illegally parked cars and it appears as if the pedestrians are coming out of nowhere from behind a car.
I wish the stores would call tow companies and make all these people think twice about how lazy they are to not walk another 20 ft.
There is also a big hardware store with 100+ parking spots and like 10 for for cars with trailers. The trailer spots are obviously closest to the store, and are always, ALWAYS occupied by anything but trailers or busses. Always some lazy fucks. I really wish they would enforce that shit. On the other hand i understand that they don't want to vother and talk to these people.
the extreme laziness deteriorates their bodies over time. legs so fat it hurts to walk. ofc they park close.
The funniest are the multi layer parking structures. I was parking on downtown under a large mall and people were blocking the way to wait for a "close parking spot" on B1. Head down to B3 and it's completely empty with spots right next to an elevator.
Like, that's not even lazy at that point, it's just dumb.
