That’s not really weird for American road sizes. If I had to guess that’s more of a stroad with speeds around 64 km/h (40 mph), possibly officially 48 km/h (30 mph) with everyone doing 10 mph over the speed limit because the roads aren’t designed to slow traffic to safe city speeds. Most of our roads are like this, and it’s a contributor to our abhorrent pedestrian fatality rate.

I’ve got one of me that was fun and not actually insulting, I worked at Disney across from a caricature art booth and one of the artists world draw nearby Cast Members when it was slow. Although I’m not sure where it is at the moment because it’s not actually hung on the wall.
A less bizarre one of a couple could be cute.

I’m glad it’s not a thing here because as a “positive” incentive I feel like it drives some users to vapid karma farming over actually interesting and new content. That said, I occasionally miss it when there’s some unpleasant commenter douchenozzeling all over a thread and it’s an easy way to see if someone is always an unpleasant ass or if they’re having a bad day and otherwise make valuable contributions to Lemmy.
AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•13 Creepy Things Your Smartphone Knows About YouEnglish4·19 days agoI’m not the person you’re replying to, but I don’t think it’s paranoid to think the three letter agencies have this tech. Back in 2013 NSA could do it, seemingly through a virus. Now? It’s probably more trivial on certain phones. Apparently the “find my iPhone” feature works on the most recent generations of iPhones even when they’ve powered off, and some phones will ring a set alarm when when off (I’ll get back to you with an edit if my older smartphone has that feature).
If you’re being specifically targeted by three letter agencies it might be a concern. Everyone else I don’t know.

Some form of translation, ai or not, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.
