But if you’re anti-car infrastructure, then you don’t want to get hit by those alternatives, because the anti-mass-transit crowd might use it to villify mass transit.
If you get hit by a car then you can become an anti-car martyr for the cause
Yeah, but I don’t think the person wishing “I hope I get hit by a bus” – unqualified – is wishing that they somehow survive and get lawsuit money. I mean maybe if you take the “survive” part out and still assume it’s the operator’s fault, the lawsuit money could go to the estate…
Buses, trams, and trains in their great efficiency would also be more efficient at traumatizing more people. And cars are by far the most likely thing to randomly hit you out of nowhere while still having the capacity to easily kill.
I think “car” is reasonably common; I’ve definitely at least heard it a few times before.
Who says car in this phrase? It’s almost always bus, tram, or train.

I definitely do… maybe it’s because we don’t have busses, trams, or trains here where I live. Just cars and oversized trucks.
For real. If I get hit. It better be infrastructure. Gonna go after those rich public coffers not a broke ass Nissan driver.
Your spoiler tag syntax seems to render properly only on PieFed but not Lemmy web UI, e.g. on programming.dev. Just letting you know!
It also works on Eternity, whereas most spoilers don’t.
Wow, that’s an app that I haven’t heard mentioned for like… years. Is it still being actively developed?
