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'm not familiar with Raising Cane's, but the same thing happens at any Chick-fil-A near Seattle (we don't have any in Seattle proper). It doesn't even have to be a new opening. Meal time on a weekday? Chick-fil-A has a line around the block.
That one in Bellevue that they'll wrap around the block and onto 405? And no one cares that they're just stopped on the freeway blocking lanes for fucking chicken?
This should be illegal. Drive thrus need capacity like a dining room. How is it fair for public infrastructure to be blocked so a private company can sell chicken? It is also a massive safety hazard.
That's the main one I'm thinking of, yes. What a terrible location for a place so busy.
I always do Ezells now when I crave chicken. Zero need to go to chick fil a in this town
I know this is considered blasphemy, but I don't think they're that great. I don't really have a favorite chicken place.
gasp
I have heard of some problematic locations but for the most part Chik-fil-a is a well oiled machine, sounds like that store needs more training and/or staff.
There are times when joining a 12 car line at CFA is still faster than waiting for the 1 car in front of you at burger king, and there have been times my car hasn't even been stationary until I'm at the window collecting my order!
I've never experienced that. Sure would be nice. They do make good chicken.
