as a shop-nerd I found this video fascinating to watch.

but also, as you alluded...

umm, bicycles!

bikes are better and more accessible than anything tech-bro-gone-analog will construct and beta-test in his garage, a garage that is detached from yet steps away from his newly purchased home in Oakland.

bicycles let you sit, peddle with your feet, and achieve some forward-momentum. these tech-bro-has-a-garage contraptions do none of those things.

@luca_lichen OFC, that channel makes all sorts of "rideable shitposts"...

@luca_lichen And sadly those shitposts get traction...

@luca_lichen ...and then we get shit like the #ReevoBike that are expensive, obnoxiously loud and outright dangerous!

@luca_lichen whereas an #RBG-#Bicycle is actually a good idea, even tho that's pretty much not road-legal in Germany...

@kkarhan

this is hilarious. thanks I needed this.

White tech-bro proceeding to use his new powertools to invent some new way to transport yourself from point A to point B. Riding a bicycle is out of the question, as that's very 2014 of you to suggest.

• #ConspiracyTheory:
  "#TheQ" is just @notjustbikes doing rideable shitposts everytime some #car fetishist is claiming that #cyclists are annoying and a problem as a means to combat aggression...

(OFC I jist made that up and it's not true!!!)

@luca_lichen I mean it's super obvious that those are all just #shitposts done that clearly showcase why said idea is bad and not practical at all...

@luca_lichen necause let's face it: Splitting the rear wheel in half when the front one broke doesn't fix any real issue...

@luca_lichen but then again it's a clear example of "white #TechBro doing #Enshittification":

@luca_lichen because every video could be commented with the same Question:

"Why would you do that?"

kkarhan, 6 months ago

@luca_lichen I mean why...

@luca_lichen like: Why would anyone do this except #shitposting stuff like this on #YouTube gets #clicks and #ads and #sponsors...

And it's not like #TrollfacePhysics some lame #clickbait:

It works!
