The main problem with zipper merges in practice are selfish people who rush to zipper and cause even more congestion because of their erratic attempt to merge. Like traffic circles they work great when everyone is doing it right and they cam get really messed up when people do it wrong.
It would be great if zipper merging was taught as part of getting a license. Or they actually required someone to learn how to zipper merge as part of their license renewal.
Do you mean "rush to zipper" as in "using an open lane to move forward and then zipper merge into the remaining lane when that one closes?" That is precisely what you should do.
The problem is the selfish people who refuse to let those people actually zipper merge, like OP.

It’s hard to discuss zipper merging because people use to justify all sorts of dick behavior. Zipping through an empty left turn only lane to skip to the head of a right turn only lane for example. That’s not an example of zipper merging but there’s tons of people who I’ve seen argue that’s acceptable behavior.
States that mandate signs about lane closures being really far out claim it makes traffic flow better. In my experience it just makes traffic stop in a different spot and is likely worse than zipper merges.
My state just recently started posting signs to keep using both lanes so people wouldn't go to one lane far too early. It was nice to be able to zipper merge without people pushing back.
Quark is absolutely backwards: Quark believes he has no dignity and is a heartless profiteer. He turns out he is an empathetic lovable guy with dignity.
You got here about 30 seconds too early for a part of it, although I don’t link to the other site. I’ve been putting the sources in all comics I post since I noticed you doing it, simply because its respectful to the artist. I’ve got most artists sources saved in my clipboard ready to go but I post a bunch all in one so it usually takes me a minute or two to get back to the post and edit in the sources. Just for future reference to make it a bit easier on you.
But thank you, seriously. Your doing amazing work and I thank you so much for being as awesome as you are <3
Of course! There are a lot of users and a lot of posts. I don’t expect everyone to remember everything, you’re fine! I also do miss the usertags though. That shit was vital and I’m dying without it. Me? Having to use my memory that forgets to do laundry? Not going well.
Interesting. I don’t mind fucking with the CSS that frequently. I am not good at it but I do sorta like it. Feels like a puzzle. I’m gonna have to look into that. Thank you very much!
Also considering how much I post and what i’m recognized for, being tagged as ‘Does posts sources’ is the biggest honor I could be given. Thank you so much 💙
Long answer: IMHO reddit is still much-less-bad than twitter-facebook-instagram. At least reddit has native RSS feeds. If I stop including reddit as a source, I should also top including the others, and I feel that would be, in some sense, punishing the artists, who are not al fault about the social networks sins.
Well let’s agree to disagree. The whole reason I’m here is because I left Reddit after they stopped 3rd party apps. Fuck Spez, fuck Reddit and as for Facebook and X I don’t even look at them.
I won’t be worrying about the zombies … I’ll be in more danger from other healthy people who will all be going bat shit insane and want to kill me, the neighbor and everyone else around for food and supplies because they all want to live five minutes longer than me.
In the end the survivors will probably kill more survivors than the zombies will.
Exactly, I’ve spent my entire existence doing the right thing, the second it hits the fan I plan on going the Dexter route and letting loose and taking down the crazies.
