@Flisty@mstdn.social @futurebird@sauropods.win @katzenberger@tldr.nettime.org I bought a pair of those a million years ago for live music shows, but the amount of ads is making me regret my choice.

Are these people really so fragile they need to be packed in a padded box like brittle bone China just to drive to the store? Would a summer breeze knock you over? Would the shouts of children at the playground shatter your ears? Is the sunlight on a bright summer day too bright for your eyes?

Is life too much for you?

Too many of the people who might want more reasonable vehicles have just opted out of having one at all. Carmakers don't care what someone like me thinks about their cars as I will never buy one.

If I had to I expect it would be a very annoying process.

@futurebird @iwein when I was a kid, we had a family station wagon, and many of my friend’s families had one too. All a bit different, but basically pretty reasonable cars to go places with up to 8 people. Now they barely make sedans, and the closest thing to a station wagon is a smallish SUV. My dad recently got one to use like a station wagon with my step-niblings, and it doesn’t quite have the “die, peasant” look, but it’s got a milder version of the same problems
