You can still get hit, but you really need to ask for it

A little while passes, buddy mentions he wakes up at 5 a.m. some days. His brother responds with "5? If I had to wake up at 5 a.m. I would... not do that."
I once had a woman bicycle into me on a somewhat narrow path, I thought she saw me and was turning but she didn't and ran right into me at a running pace.
I instinctively put out my arms to stop her, grabbed her shoulders and then realized she might fall over if I just did a brief push to stop her so I kind of lightly held her in place for a second until she stabilized herself.
It was the most harmless yet awkward accident I have ever been in.
Cargo bike?
Who says car in this phrase? It's almost always bus, tram, or train.
But if you're anti-car infrastructure, then you don't want to get hit by those alternatives, because the anti-mass-transit crowd might use it to villify mass transit.
If you get hit by a car then you can become an anti-car martyr for the cause
For real. If I get hit. It better be infrastructure. Gonna go after those rich public coffers not a broke ass Nissan driver.
!My uncle got hit by city bus was he was 17. 40 years ago. He is still living off that today. Mfer owns two houses!<
Your spoiler tag syntax seems to render properly only on PieFed but not Lemmy web UI, e.g. on programming.dev. Just letting you know!
It also works on Eternity, whereas most spoilers don't.
Wow, that's an app that I haven't heard mentioned for like... years. Is it still being actively developed?
Not really, last commit was last year. Still works, though, and I haven't found anything yet that I like better.
Yeah, but I don't think the person wishing "I hope I get hit by a bus" – unqualified – is wishing that they somehow survive and get lawsuit money. I mean maybe if you take the "survive" part out and still assume it's the operator's fault, the lawsuit money could go to the estate...
I definitely do... maybe it's because we don't have busses, trams, or trains here where I live. Just cars and oversized trucks.
Buses, trams, and trains in their great efficiency would also be more efficient at traumatizing more people. And cars are by far the most likely thing to randomly hit you out of nowhere while still having the capacity to easily kill.
I think "car" is reasonably common; I've definitely at least heard it a few times before.
Bus?
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die

How about getting hit by a car which starts a chain reaction to actually build a car-less society?
How can you be anti-car and forget about trains?
You have to be way more proactive when hoping to get hit by a train tho
Yeah cars will sometimes deliver personal injury right through the front wall of your house.
