Gimme a man who takes public transit and has a library card.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What is this "public transit" you speak of? I only know of cars, which give me unparalleled independence according to famously unbiased Ford and Toyota.

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I have experienced it, but not in decades.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh a library card is hot. Or someone with a lot of used books.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes! Especially if he purchased them from the library's retired book cart! Love seeing those old Dewey decimal stickers and that old book smell.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

If he has a record player, and poetry chapbooks, just swoon.

Or who knows how much produce is supposed to cost (I don’t so it would be nice if he did).

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It's one avocado, how much could it be, $4? btw yes

Living at home with his mama is also not a big deal, because I live at home with my mama, too. Who the hell can afford rent?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Sounds like something a scrub would say.

GAS, GRASS, OR ASS. NOBODY RIDES FOR FREE

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 4 points 3 months ago

Due to increases in prices, only gas is accepted now

You can hang out the passenger side of your best friend's ride, just don't try to holler at me. Actually just don't perceive me at all, thank you

[–] Emmie@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Is this safe?

[–] JCreazy@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Won't that increase wind resistance causing the fuel economy to drop? How is that a smart financial decision?

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Not near enough to justify firing up car #2. Assuming he's "hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride, trying to holla at me", crawling by in a city setting where most all cars get dick mpg anyway, wind resistance isn't as much a factor as the energy required to keep the car rolling at sub-optimal speeds. In lower gears. And all the stop & go traffic.

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Smart for the guy hanging onto the car

[–] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Not really at low speeds.
