2 stroke engines as means of transport for teenage boys.
What? No, of course that gathering of mopeds 150m from my apartment building isn’t affecting my unbiased opinion on this.
Lol and they are polluting as fuck.
Small 2 stroke engines create more particulate and nitrogen pollution than big excavators and bulldozers.
Not relatively, per unit. A leaf blower or moped is worse than a 20 ton caterpillar.

Ah, that’s not really a thing here. Sometimes they do zip through the traffic, but we don’t really have a standstill traffic jams too often and when we do, the mopeds sort of just hang in the traffic, being stuck with everyone else.
I guess we are a bit German in that sense.
I mean they’re cheaper to buy and operate, easier to park, don’t take up as much space as cars either parked or on the road. They should be more popular, just they should be electric now.
LLMs. Their actual usefulness is so much less than the cost and effort it takes to make the modes. Probably not an unpopular take, especially on this platform.

Who tf would advocate for that?

Huh, I would have thought that this would be a wildly popular opinion on this platform.
I guess we hang around in different communities lol
I think that was the joke. Everybody knew it was coming, but they got to say it first.
Yes this dumdum misread the thing completely lol
It is a popular opinion, that’s what I said
Oh I misread it lol, apologies.
Dress shoes
Rich people wanted to pretend they always ride horses, so they always wore slim shoes. This became the standard for all shoes, and everyone has been suffering since

I’ve recently started wearing shoes with wide toe boxes and I have felt the difference. No more squashed toes!
Try also wearing toe spacers if you want to get your feet back to optimal performance!
Those k-cups, and disposable vapes… You know what? Anything that has disposable in their name.
Yes even baby and feminine products.
Disposable cutlery, disposable bags, FAST fashion, the freaking packaging, the non returnable glass/plastic bottles.Menstrual cups are fantastic and I think everyone capable of using one should.
The medical industry is HORRENDOUS for single use plastics.
Medical industry is the only place I can see the justification. There’s so much plastic waste in food production, delivery, and storage.
I believe in reusable pads also.
i assume kuerig cups?
Yes
Surveillance cameras. I get it’s a hot topic right now but I’ve hated them for a long time particularly in work environments. The crimes they prevent have never overcame the abusive relationship I perceive in them
Nuclear bombs.
Private health insurance
Generative AI. Useless slop.
Plastic
…
There’s definitely a use case for plastic. But it doesn’t need to be used to wrap everything
The concept of proprietary parts.
If your product is so shitty that your plan to make money is to be the only supplier of parts when it breaks theb just fuck off into the sea.
The personal automobile. Hands down the worst thing to happen to humanity until we kill ourselves with nuclear winter later this year.

Nuclear winter is like Winter Premium; and there’s a whole other hemishpere.
Not quite technology, unless you factor in the development of cable TV, but 24 hour news networks. That was the start of news as entertainment, as they didn’t have enough to fill 24 hours and had to do whatever they could to get and retain viewers.
Capitalism
McMansions.
I’m still annoyed at that first fish that thought “I wonder if I could live on the land”

Next step would be leaving earth and its predators behind.
