Is it normal to have a visceral reaction upon seeing e-scooter riders? Am I simply a luddite or are they worthy of hatred? Ebikes don't even bother me that much for some reason.
>>85563214No you just hate how whimsical they look and it makes you angry that you can't be as carefree with your own life. Have you ever ridden one anon? You should give it a try. They're quite fun. Bitch.
>>85563214\I get the same reaction, Anon. Never really got to put it into words. For me, I think it's my hatred of SaaS (Scooter as a Service) and rent-seeking tech Jews in general. As for the riders, unless they own their scooters I see them as you vill own nothing and you vill be happy like >>85563217So unless you own your scooter you will be judged harshly as an NPC goyim by my internal anti normie filter.
>>85563214Nothing wrong with an e scooter besides looking a little gay. They are cuntish because of how people drive them. Little to no regard for others with the exception that they are driving them on sidewalks at full blast and don't give a fuck if there is a mother with a stroller, an old guy with a cane, or just regular people passing by. They're zooming right past you and missing you by inches
>>85563214Whenever one of these comes at me on a narrow sidewalk, I'm prepared to justifiably homicide them.
>>85563214>Is it normalIt is. Bicycles were always associated with uncomfortability, physical strain, sweating and general pain to use. When encountering micro transportation that breaks this common and accepted mental patten that makes people angry (that happens with breaking of all common mental patterns).
i don't mind them but i also dont live in a big city. bought pic related for 250 dollars used and its been nice to get around. thing does 18 mph which is just right imo. not dangerous nor boring
>>85563214well they just look like retarded faggots. its like seeing people vape.
>>85563214Hey fuck you. I love my e-scooter.
E-scooters are indeed a plague on our cities. Heaps of metal junk piled up on all the sidewalks, ditched by the woods and the lakes and wherever you're trying to walk. And since they require no awareness of traffic to use, their users are always the stupidest gen alpha niggers you could ever find, who will guarantee a close collision with every single person and vehicle they meet.

Everybody itt who is hating on e scooters is 100% just a case of sour grapes. You get any of them to ride one for a few minutes and they'll be smiling like retards too.
>>85563394>sour grapesAnybody can get one whenever, retard. They're rented for nothing. Sour grapes doesn't apply.
>>85563400Yet they don't anon. Yet they don't. Sour grapes because they limit themselves due to fearing being perceived the way they perceive the scooter riders. Same way that people hate on people who can dance carefree at parties, or as a relatable example in this sub, the incels that manage to not be incels.
I don't really know how to explain this but I thought they are psy ops. There was zero of them in my village and then one day just like that everyone was fucking riding them I could understand that kids would love them but adults and even 60+ people riding them was wild for me. One day they just popped out of thin air and everyone have one. I don't even know what's so revolutionary its just a scooter with battery I would prefer e-bike myself but alright. Man maybe I should crawl out from my cave if something like that is wild to me
>>85563364This is eerily accurate. They look like redditors.
>>85563521Because it's fun anon. It's not that complicated. The e-bike companies put pilot programs out, and they literally did install them overnight. The rest is just natural human curiosity, play, and trend.
>>85563521>everyone was fucking riding them I could understand that kids would love them but adults and even 60+ people riding them was wild for me.They are super convenient for short rides.Like in a village where my parents have summer house (it was real peasants village but now it's gentrificated and turned into middle class suburb) malls are half mile away. You have options:Drive car, and then wait 10 minutes in traffic jam on 180 turn back, it's before highway and always jammed (and if you are intoxicated cops like to make DUI checkpoint ambush there)Walk half mile and then back with bagsOh hop on escooot and zoom through pedestrian alley trail.So everyone including boomers suddenly got themselves escoots.
>>85563521>don't even know what's so revolutionary its just a scooter with battery I would prefer e-bike myself but alrightBikes are uncomfortable.Even just getting on bike you need to strain your limbs, rise leg above you head. Not every clothes fit for that, not everyone especially old have agility in limbs to to it easily. Bike chain chew and grease your pants.Then you are huff puffing turning pedals and cover yourself in sweat Bike is literally antihuman design.Scoot you like step one stair step up and the teleport around without efforts. You can do it wearing office suit, or mini skirt, and arrive to your destination with your clothes in prestine conditions, not an extra wrinkle on them. This is human oriented design.
>>85563214there's something about those things that just make you look like such a massive dork
>>85563214I used to always throw these in the river when I saw them. They actually have people who go around with crane things and fish them out, so my doing so is actually job creation
>>85563214I hate them and I only see fat fucks and retarded children on them. I've nearly gotten run over a few times while walking and some kids/teens in my country have died in accidents. And they've started to catch fire and battery fires are extremely toxic and difficult to extinguish. They should be banned everywhere. They are low quality, dangerous Chinese garbage used almost entirely by dumbasses. At the very least laws have to be introduced to require a license and ban their storage inside residential buildings where they can catch fire. >but laptops and phones also catch fire.Phones and laptops have much smaller battery cells and can be thrown out the window if they start smoking.
>>85563996I hate the retarded children. Incredibly
>>85563892>antihumanit's pro-human. it's just that it's also anti-fat.
>>85564006Sorry but you have no arguments for your position.
I've never seen one before because I don't live by any cities/suburbs. It's just a ghetto version of an ebike right? I think it's a bad idea, tiny wheels and poor handling make accidents seem likely. If people really use them on sidewalks they should be ticketed, ghetto versions of bicycles should still be used and treated like bicycles. They belong on the road and not sidewalks.
>>85563394>Every single e-scooter rider weaves dangerously through traffic>Too fast for sidewalks>Too slow for roads>Chinkshit lithium batteries ready to explode at the blink of an eye>But they're so FUN guys just look at that kid SMILING while doing 40 km/h down a busy sidewalkGo karts are fun too, but there's a good reason why you don't drive them anywhere except dedicated tracks.
>>85563393He's right.>>85563217Fuck you, sit down on your vehicle like the rest of us.
>>85563217>No you just hate how whimsical they look and it makes you angry that you can't be as carefree with your own lifeI've hated scooters ever since I was a child. They're inferior to bicycles in every way. They're entirely pointless.
>>85563217>akshully you're just emotional and jealous >:)Hey, found a real woman.
>>85564928Cope razor scooters were amazing
>>85563214I love my cooter, the jews will not force me to drive a automobile but mommy will probably succeed in forcing me to :(
>>85564928Muscle kick scooters suck indeed.But this doesn't apply to escoots.
