dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Just a few possible explanations.

https://worldmetrics.org/car-accident-age-statistics/

Older adults (65+) are the fastest-growing driver population, with a crash rate 7x higher than 35-54 year olds per mile driven

Older drivers are 2x more likely to be involved in a crash due to pedestrian collisions

Drivers aged 65+ make up 12% of drivers but 20% of pedestrian fatalities

Non-business-related driving on urban roads should be age-limited to persons under 16.

This is why I do not drive a car but also as a pedestrian why I semi-frequently threaten to beat the boomers that keep trying to kill me to death.
