That's the scary part though, I don't get any more bugs hitting the windshield while travelling. Used to need to wash it after arriving but now they are just gone... We completely fucked up the environment

Sad thing is, anybody still not worried by, or unconvinced of, this being our fault also likely sees this as very good news.

Typed from laptop overlooking fertilized and chemically pesticided monoculture lawn, freshly cut underground automatic sprinkler system set for twice a day...

Haven't we defederated from these losers? All they do on .world is post inflamatory garbage.

"Why are all the bugs gone? The reason clearly couldn't be me." - Literally you. One buzz for each brain cell.

Does the commenter not include themselves in "we?"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well Liz that is an excellent observation, does my comment not indicate that everyone continues to fuck up the environment and just is posturing so they feel good about the thoughts and prayers they are sending?

Well Liz it's like complaining about Elon musk but continuing to drive a Tesla and subscribe to Star Link for your Internet.

But you're the one who assumed the commentator was massive hypocrite. You just imagined that they weren't lifting a finger to try and improve things. Nothing they said suggested anything about what they're doing concerning the environment.

Fucking show me. I know my fellow jerk wad Americans I can smell bullshit a mile away. I wasn't born last night Liz and neither were you.

I think it might be two things. Less bugs, and more aerodynamic cars. My last car almost had zero bugs on the windshield the 10 years I had it. My car now gets a decent amount every time I go on the highway.

I mean, its very likely we live in different places. As an aerospace engineer though, I dont remember any revolution happening to aerodynamics in the past 10 years, I even used the same model car back then and newer version more recently with minimal changes to the exterior

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm sure you would know better than me but it's either that or the bugs started coming back as soon as I got my new car. Which just happens to be less aerodynamic than my old one. Because the difference was instantly noticable. I drive about 10 hours back to my hometown to see my kid and noticed the difference the first time I did the drive with this car.
