We have /c/fuckcars but no /c/fuckplanes. Yet a lot of the same arguments apply. They cause air pollution (roughly double the amount per km traveled), noise pollution and they (airports) take up a lot of space near dense living areas. Sure, some places can practically only be visited by plane, just like some places can practically only be visited by car. But people don’t consider not having your holiday that far away or giving pushback on a busines trip that should have been an online meeting. Besides work-from-home being encouraged, work-from-home-country should be too.

Cars need to be discouraged in favor of busses, trams and trains. Planes nees to be discouraged in favor of high-speed trains, staycations and hopefully new alternatives like modern sailboats or electric planes.

        It’s okay, thanks, I’m good. I can simply turn it off if it bothers me. I normally just don’t look at it, and you can turn it off in the settings anyway. 👍 Thanks though.

          The point is that it bothers other people if you do less than half-ass research and then present it as though it’s valuable.

            I can get that, I’m very anti AI myself, but is it worse than someone just… stating it? I just presented some numbers. Take it or leave it, I did say some actual research needs to be done to confirm. 🤷‍♂️ I got OP to dig deeper into the topic, and they found interesting stuff that they shared. Mission accomplished from my standpoint. 👍

              Yes, it’s worse.

              Either do slightly more research (click the links in your ai answer) or less, otherwise you’re likely to spread hallucinations and misinformation.

              I’m with you. I’ve done both. It’s very similar to spreading political memes presented as real that turn out to be false/satire. You’re supposed to verify shit is real before you spread it.

                I hear what you’re saying. I said to OP to do the research that needs doing. They did. I’m considering this case closed. ✅
