Why does Lemmy and reddit love trains so much? They could solve some travel problems in some but are we expecting tracks to run literally everywhere and into every suburb? What about rural places?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, please put tracks everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's a matter of perspective. If someone's from the USA, they have no idea whatsoever that trains could be anything good at all because that's the opposite of what trains are like in their experience, but if they're from the Netherlands then they know that trains can be simple and great.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yes. Theyre called trams, or trollies.

I mean, as someone who didn't grow up around trains, but moved to a place with trains in the suburb when I was 18.... Yes.

the Dutch train system is so incredibly cool, you can get from one end to another end of the 'main' part of the Netherlands in an hour and its so easy to just get to any station anywhere and then you can just go everywhere for so incredibly cheap. Literally the only thing you need to get anywhere in the Netherlands is a bike and something to buy train tickets with. You dont even need to buy tickets, you can just tap your debit card on the gates in the entrance station and then tap it when you exit and it just handles everything for you

you can even tap on sone bikes to rent them. everyone saying owning a car makes you free can suck it

And on the first day multivac said LET THERE BE TRAINS

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

We are the simulation and everywhere we've evolved to using trains of some form, with a few very notable exceptions

I know it's a shitpost, but i hate that people interpret carcinisation as a crab being the ultimate piece of evolution.

When learning evolution like algorithms in computer science, one of the first things you learn is strategies to not get stuck in locally optimal solutions (solutions that seem the best when you look at other nearby solutions, but are worse than other solutions if you allow your algorithm to look further away).

Crabs seem like that, it's just an easy defensive evolution that then stagnates in a form that kind of works. Seeing how many crabs we eat, and how few crabs eat us, it's obvious that crabs aren't the actual pinnacle of evolution, just some locally optimal solution that evolution tends to get stuck in :p.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Exactly. It's a local minimum/maximum optimization problem as applied to genetics and evolution.

I understand your point but some of history's most publicized and powerful figures have been consumed by crabs. Amelia Earhart and countless other well known examples through history show the crab threat is much more present and real than you imply.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

This is why I stopped shitposting, too many sweats

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

After several days of what I can only describe as ill-informed pro crab propaganda posts all over lemmy I realy needed this. Thank you.

We will see (or not) who has the last laugh, crabs or homo sapiens sapiens?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's gonna be homo sapiens unless crabs evolve laughter.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Like came back in a million years. Bet crabs are going to be still around while we'll already extinct.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

One could almost say that Trains are good.
