Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
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.

I kinda want there to be a super-weed that can tear up an entire parking lot in under a week ๐ค Also this thing should appear in every parking lot simultaneously and be immune to any herbicide that doesn't also melt the buildings next to where it's used.
... I'm growing a special new distaste for cars lately. I still need buses, so I guess roads can stay <.< For now >:O
Perhaps some kind of super-mold that eats oil products like tar and asphalt!
Just make sure you wash your tires off regularly or they'll get moldy ๐
Whose tires? My licence expired before I fled up here :3
Unfortunately, buses also tend to use tires. And roads. Maybe some melty mould would work, though! Maybe if it somehow targets cars or things used only/mainly by cars, or just use it later when places get walkabler as a response to the damn cars being rendered ineffective. Oh, and maybe light rail can be a bigger thing! Dunno how good that would be but fuck cars!
Your bike's tires! Unless you use, like, large discs of wood or something ๐
Oh! Have you seen those bicycle rickshaws? They could replace taxis!
Oooh. I don't have a bike either ๐ I don't think they'd have let me take one on the plane anyway. Bikes can be yes.
We'll just cover up all' the bikes, destroy the combustion-engine vehicles, rinse everything off, and tada! Bike cities. This plan is excellent and has no flaws. ๐
