They also disable many lights at night here in south Florida (but I’m sure it’s common everywhere in the U.S.) to where one road gets permanent flashing yellow and the other gets flashing red (stop sign).
That’s interesting that they’re all positioned at the beginning of the intersections. That would take me some getting used to, but it’s probably safer since it forces you to stop further from the intersection to see the signal
Yeah our lights come in all sorts of shapes. Might be more standardized over there
Ah, yeah those lights are a lot more straightforward than ours lol
Are you talking about the 2 lights on the bottom? Is that not common everywhere? The left one is probably a left arrow to indicate a protected left turn, and the right one is solid.
I don’t know if this is a US-only thing or all countries where they drive on the right side of the road but without the green left arrow, left turns on a solid green light are unprotected and must yield to oncoming traffic.
The arrow can also be flashing yellow on some intersections to indicate an unprotected left turn regardless of the state of the solid lights.
Similarly, a green right arrow can be present at solid red lights to indicate a protected right turn. Otherwise, you can still turn right on solid red (unless a sign explicitly prohibits it) but must yield. Right arrows are much less common than left.
Not just right leaning people, but also centrists and people who aren’t far enough left
When there’s an intruder in their home with their child, yeah
Why is “the utterly deranged” edited over? It was already the original text
Fun feels-untrue fact: there are more trees on earth than stars in our galaxy.
Someone mentioned that on Twitter once and like 90% of the replies were calling them stupid
This commercial airline pilot is keeping track of their biggest time saved on a trip. The caption is comparing it to speedrunning a videogame, which is funny cause speedrunners usually do everything they can to save time but if you did that as a pilot it would probably be pretty unsafe
There’s this place i go to where they have 2 single-person bathrooms, but they’re still gendered. Maybe this is the reason
There was a good comment by @pjwestin@lemmy.world the other day on an angry anti-.ml post:
Before joining Lemmy: “It really doesn’t matter what instance you join, you’ll be able to see content from all over.”
After joining Lemmy: “So you’ve enlisted in .world, eh? Welcome to the fight, soldier!”
When I said every instance, I was including .ml.
But also I was being hyperbolic - you don’t have to prove that there are more than twelve Lemmy accounts
Especially considering there are like twelve people on every instance combined

“Me” should be “is” so you can check “What the fuck is that/this”
“is it extra, virgin?”
