You had me till the BuY AnOthER OnE, Pay me imaginary strawman. I do love bikes though, so do the fuckers that keep taking mine.

I think the point was to contrast this with cars. Having your car stolen is 10x worse than having your bike stolen

[–] uis@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

10x? What car can be so cheap?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

Ironically, a stole one

You have enough money for a pair of bolt cutters.

[–] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah Yeah I do have some of those, where you parked again you say?

If you're big enough, you just need money for a balaclava.

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago

Hmmmm baklavas

Think of it that way - whoever stole your bike was probably more happy to get it than you are sad to lose it. The total happiness in the world increased. So, whatever.

There it is.

The stupidest thing I'll read all day.

And the sun's not even up yet.

I never know if the artist is serious or not.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Thank you; I had no idea.

I take it that the idea is that it's supposed to be stupid?

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

It's true although it sucks. You could have several bikes stolen a year and it's still cheaper than a car.

  • kryptonite U-lock.
  • locking skewers for the tires, gears, seat and handle bars.
  • an ugly color

At this point, they'll need an angle grinder to get anything valuable off the bike. It's more expensive but so long its not the standard of ever biker, bike thieves'll target easier bikes to steal off.
