Fuck it. Let's dig out the interstates, highways, and suburban streets large and small, and turn them all into canals. (lemmy.world)

Why are we'all in such a rush, anyway? If you need to talk to someone right away, we got video conferencing. If you, in an emergency, really need to move somewhere fast, there's helicopters. I say we just consign the whole 'car' idea to the dustbin of history, and just convert everything over to canals. If some insist on speed, we can consider adding a train system. But the only means of private mechanized transport must be by watercraft! That should be enough.

Owning a boat is hella expensive though, a bike is just 50 / year for maintenance (or less, or more when it gets stolen)

I want a bike that floats and can be used in the canals and on land at that point, would be kinda fun. Until I drop all my groceries in the canal... Then I'd be sad.
