  • Nostalgia accounts on social media. Saw one today that was crowing how we used to drive on icy roads without ABS, four wheel drive, traction control and other safety features, and loads of Boomers post below it saying “Damn right” and other bullshit.

    The drop in road traffic deaths since the sixties and seventies has been huge, with less than 2k deaths per annum in the UK now the norm. It was three times that back then.

    Bullshit accounts like this really piss me off.

  • A company called Social Chain runs loads of those, they're basically just low effort engagement bait to tick along until they have a campaign when they'll all message about the same topic to get it trending.

  • Ah, lead in paint, toys with finger traps, machines with no guards. No seatbelts back then. But we're all still alive, never did me any harm etc etc.

  • thats enough about rim brakes now
