It's not that it's unsafe to drive in Detroit due to crime, it's just that the automotive industry lobbied hard to make the country car friendly, and that city faced the worst of it.
This scene has nothing to do with car-centric city design
I mean, car centric design is less safe than human centric design. You're safer when there's more people around.
It's the people I'm worried about
But if you're stuck in the woods, do you want to come across a person or a car?
Does the car have a person in it?
It doesn't, but beware it carries a terrible curse...
........does it have a bear in the car?
It's toppings contain potassium benzoate
I think in this case it'd be "be were (car)"
A bear.
A phone
It's harder to get shanked with people around you in the middle of the street
It's people who are going to shank you
I think you should leave
~~Edit: lol guys, for real, how do you not get the joke…? It’s literally the source material for the meme. It’s the name of the show.~~
E2: I think I should leave :(
Well now I feel silly.
Also, now I will watch that show. Didn’t know it was a thing.
The meme is from the show Detroiters, but it has many of the same writers/actors
Your downvoter didn’t get your reference sadly!
Only you can fight meme illiteracy
Edit: to be fair, it was actually me who was being meme illiterate
