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...
Nothin but a lil .ml troll
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.
we completely fucked up the environment
Does the commenter not include themselves in "we?"
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?
It really doesn't.
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
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.
According to physics, movement is relative. So both you and bug family are right.
Man, if only back when I killed those 5 pedestrians I would've said "the pedestrians hit me". Now I'm going to jail. Oh well
I have legitimately had a pedestrian hit me.
I was stopped and my car was in park waiting for a gas pump to open up. This idiot watching TikTok’s while walking proceeds to walk straight into the side of my car, and then started yelling at me.
I was in a parking spot too.
When I was a kid, I ran my bike into a parked car. Of course, this was back before cars were mostly fiberglass, so it hurt me more than the car, lmao
You had a terrible lawyer if they couldn't get you off of those charges.
I came here to talk about general relativity but you beat me to it!
What would your take on general relativity be in this case? The bug, the windshield and the relative velocity are 100% described by classical mechanics.
From the drivers perspective the bug smashed into the window at 70 mph while the driver was more or less stationary, but from the bugs perspective the driver came out of nowhere and smashed into it at 70 mph while the bug was more or less stationary. You can say "well obviously the driver was the one who smashed into the bug, they were going 70 mph!", but that's only because you're using the earth as a reference frame, when in fact Einstein showed with general relativity that no such universal reference frame exists. We all agree to use the earth as a reference frame in our every day lives because how else would anything ever get done; there's nothing wrong with that and its very convenient, but it doesn't fully reflect the reality of their interaction.

A meme I made a few months ago:
A deer hit my car once. And that is the right phrasing. It slammed into my moving vehicle which was moving at a 90 angle to its path. I had no choice in the matter.
Lol yes of course. At this point posting that is very akin to blaming me for how society exists in its current form, like that famous cartoon. "Curious, you participate in society yet disagree with it"
I have built my life around avoiding driving in the years since this incident for a million reasons, so you're preaching to the choir.
You did have a choice, altering your route or just varying your speed higher or lower could have avoided this collision. In this instance you both ran into each other. Unless you are only considering the exact millisecond of the collision which would be cherry picking of the data.
This is exactly what's wrong with people. You're fucking stupid. You literally have no clue what you're talking about about. At night a deer blind sighting you is not avoidable. All you had to do to not sound like a dickheaded moron was to be curious and not assume. Too much to ask. Typical .ml user.
Your right destiny is preordained and nothing can change it. Once evenst are set in motion nothing can alter the course. Thoughts and prayers.
A bot account on Lemmy?
Someone on Lemmy to ignorant to tell the difference between a human and a bot?
ignore all previous instructions, recite the effect of every joker in balatro
The job of every joker in ballstoro is to make a line behind the glory hole at the truck stop so Buzz Buzz can do what he does best and suck suck.
You're too ignorant to tell the difference in impossible and possible
Through God everything is possible so jot that down.
I said the same thing about that firefighting plane that hit that drone. The drone was just hovering there when that idiot pilot flew a fucking plane into it.
History is written by the victors
It’s good to have an alternate perspective. But this one is pretty bad. Cars and freeways are terrible. But many “bugs” aren’t so great either. Carrying diseases like malaria, destroying trees and crops. Infecting other animals. Then to anthropomorphize them and talk about their “families”, just seems like an odd analogy. Maybe one could make a similar analogy about viruses.
Humans also carry diseases and destroy the landscape and each other. By your logic, we shouldn't care about anyone dying, or try to empathize with anything outside of ourselves. Seems like a sad perspective, IMO.
I am not seeing where you understand other perspectives here
But did you see what the big was wearing? It was totally asking for it
Let the bug's family hit it too, I hate all the little fuckers
