    Don’t remember where I heard it first, but I always love to hear it.

    “Whenever someone brings up bikes, suddenly everyone needs to move their refrigerator 100 miles in the rain”

      The solution? Rental vans…

      It’s like people think they need mega trucks for the time once a year or less that they have to move a couch.

      “But what about when I have to haul wood for my yearly porch renovation?”

      “Rent a fucking truck!”

        In this vein, I saw a comment on Lemmy that speaks to this. I’m paraphrasing but it really woke me up. The person said that Americans choose on edge cases and not standard use case. I realized I felt that way about ICE cars vs EV and I am a cyclist. It is amazing how we can have blinders on.

        It’s weird because all, and i mean ALL, furniture and electronic shop in my country will do delivery for you, most even do it for FREE.

        Then there’s 3rd party delivery service via an app.
