▲ 234 ▼ This is a lovely gesture, but also it's pretty sad (and very North American?) that if your car dies at the store you can't get home without relying on the tenuous kindness of strangers (pbs.twimg.com) submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by destructdisc@lemmy.world to c/fuckcars@lemmy.world 118 comments fedilink hide all child comments This is apparently in Columbus, Ohio -- a pretty major city by any stretch of the imagination. And yet there are people who rail (geddit?) against 15-minute cities and efficient public transit that ensures no one ever gets stuck like this.

It's also not uncommon to stop by Trader Joe's or the supermarket on your way home. The best carts are those with the weird tri-wheels that go up and down stairs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) Love the rolly carts. Lil old ladies pushing them home all over the outer boroughs. They're actually what I was thinking about when I made the above sarcastic reply. I think most supermarkets sell them for like $10 or something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago They're a little more expensive. Cheap ones are $20 or so at dollar stores, but the nice ones are $80+. It's worth the small investment though permalink fedilink source parent
