Anyone else always read it as chick-fillah? It’s such a stupid spelling.

A huge amount of cars waiting to move just reminds me of like a beetle nest.

Been to Chik-Fil-A before, they arent even that great, or at least not especially compelling compared to kfc or popeyes. maybe im missing something though idk.

I think a lot of the comments here mischaracterize chik fil a as another shitty burger joint in a way that would be confusing to people that never seen one. They make really good chicken sandwiches because chicken sandwiches is almost the only thing they make. While most fast food joints might have 1-3 people running it during non-peak hours, chic fil a constantly has a small army in there. I don’t even know how so many people stay busy but that crazy looking line pictured will be cleared out in under 10 minutes.

Imagine how many people you could get to circle around a square building if they had pedestrian friendly infrastructure

Why would you not just use one of the free parking spots and go inside to order?

I’m curious if they are this popular, or just slow as hell and just make the lines longer to hold more people so they can’t leave to get better food

Nacktmull, (edited ) in Birds eating some paint chips off the dividing line

I like how you captured the fucked up aesthetic of the road cutting through nature and how the birds adapted.

variants, (edited )

what gets me is the shear amount of paint there is, we drive about 30 miles and most of the way is like this with just little mounds of yellow dust and Im sure it all just washes away in the rain to places we dont want it to end up. Also apparently birds need to eat rocks and stuff to help break down food so they hopefully are just getting the little rocks and not the paint chunks

Roadway runoff is a big impact from roads that is largely ignored in many places. The runoff can contain

Paint chips, Oils and fuels, Brake dust, Tire particles, Salt, and Litter.

Most of this will run right into ditches, streams or rivers. There is often no treatment of the runoff.

njordomir,

I was astounded when I saw stats on how many birds get killed by cars every year (I think it was posted here a while back). Its like an ongoing bird genocide. No wonder birds shit all over parked cars. We can’t even fault them for this, but it would also be illegal for us to join in. :D

I’d love to know the difference in average bird fatalities for a busy 4 lane highway vs a double-tracked rail line with overhead catenary.

virtueisdead,

This isn’t even to mention the other many ways we’re constantly actively contributing to the deaths of birds through suburbia, even indirectly. Aside from the obvious stuff like getting rid of the trees they inhabit in the rare urban areas, we even kill them in the places they can live, by having “outdoor cats” as if they arent an invasive species. Letting them predate on the local bird population can be hugely detrimental!

I don’t get it either. The chicken sandwich is OK at best. A solid 7/10 just for consistency. Everything else is meh. People seem to like their fry sauce, which is probably required to eat their flat tasting waffles fries.

Americans like sauces and dressings on things. Ranch on everything, unless it comes with their own sauce.

I was just thinking about this today downstairs in the food court at the bottom of the office building I work in. Hundreds of people come through there for the lunch rush to dozens of fast food restaurants (sushi, buritoes, Thai etc), all in the space of less than 30x30m including seating. I was thinking: there’s no way you could do this with a drive through.

How do you even walk in there?

BenderFender, in Idea for disrespecting cars

I’ve always thought it would be fun to print out a bunch of stickers with sayings like, “I suck a driving,” and slap them on shitty drivers cars. The main opportunity I see for this is when you are trying to cross the street and a car is pulled up in the sidewalk, forcing you to have to walk behind their car. As you are passing you could slap a sticker on their trunk. I think it would be a funny thought of them to find that later and realize they have been driving around all day or week with that thing.

schmorpel, in Idea for disrespecting cars

Shit I wasn’t even going to spoof a car logo, just make a tiny wheat paste sticker with a penis drawing and the words “small utility vehicle” - but your idea is beautiful as well.

I got slightly taken off track when I was too lazy to draw the tiny penis myself and typed “tiny penis” into my search bar.

If anyone would like an A4 sheet of tiny penises to print and glue on SUVs, let me know I’ll finish it. Shaming these motherfucking SUV-owners out of existence maybe works.

I’ve always been fond of the idea of leveraging some truly vile toxic masculinity shit against car culture advocates.
