Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

And no modern truck owners remember those little trucks. They think being a truck owner means you have to have the biggest most ridiculous truck out there. Personally, I'd love it there was a smaller ranger sized EV truck. I'd buy one of those tomorrow if they gave up on massive monsteosities
I'd buy the shit out of a plugin hybrid the size of a 93 ranger
Sorry, in America they tell you what you want, and they're telling us you don't actually want that. (And don't you dare try to import one from Europe or somewhere else, they made that illegal)
Someone in my city drives one of those tiny little Japanese pickups and I'd kill for one of those honestly.
Look up the Kei trucks. There are a lot of them available if you're willing to figure out transportation/pickup/delivery after import.
I would kill for an electric version of the Hilux Champ they are selling in Thailand right now.
I can't afford a car right now but I'll certainly consider it! They're neat, plus I talk a lot of shit about car centric infrastructure so it'd let me maintain some "insufferable" cred when I finally get another vehicle 🤣
Take something the size of an original Ford Ranger, throw in a two-cylinder diesel generator and a battery pack and make it a series plugin hybrid.
That’s pretty homophobic
It’s hard to let people know you’re looking if they can’t see/hear you
What is "homophobic"? Or are you just looking for reasons to use that word?
