A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

I think food to pedal the bike cost money.

One of my friends did a personal study on his costs at uni and found it was more cost effective to drive his car (this was in the early 2000's) than it was to ride his bike to uni everyday than buy the food required to fuel the 50km round trip.

Hope he wasn't majoring in anything like math or biology.

And don’t even get me started on all the healthcare the meat bag driving it needs.

Probably less than non-cyclists due to better health, so a net negative cost.

I guess when you have fancy pants, you go on adventures.

Its more the cocaine needed to ride long distance that costs the money.
