It's nearly impossible for people in their early 20s to have enough privacy to have sexual relationships with each other. Most are living with their parents or in shared apartments that afford little privacy. I don't see why society seems to be so against giving young people enough privacy so they don't have to resort to fucking on the streets. This was a massive reason why my last relationship failed.

Looks like it’s time to convert some of that empty San Francisco commercial real estate into Japan-style love hotels.

[-] spriteblood@kbin.social 20 points 10 months ago

Anything but affordable housing! Not in my backyard.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

You can have sex almost anywhere you want just not in my backyard.

[-] Uranium3006@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

I mean that too, but it's a decent use between now and when we finally get the land rezoned for residential. the state of california should allow housing of any density with no parking minimums in all office zoned land in the state by right, overriding local zoning laws. also allow fourplexes in all residential land

Some day, if it hasn't happened already, we're going to have a situation where a driverless car is driving around a dead body. Eventually I think the technology will get to a point where a self-driving, electric car will be able to drive itself to a charging station, initiate the recharge, and drive off afterwards. At that point we'll have "ghost cars" that are perpetually driving around the country on some weird repeating loop where it's just endlessly driving around with a rotting corpse inside.

An elder person

driving to their birtday party

trapped with a stroke half-way in.

[-] Magrath@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

Transporting dead bodies across the state lines haha. Good thing that is all tracked.

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Good for them! At least someone around here is having sex. It sounds kinda hot too 😋 🥵

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

No, get a room. Now we have to deal with stinky cabs?

[-] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You think the occasional sex will smell worse than a cabbie sitting in his seat for 12 hours straight living on hot dogs and mountain dew?

Amtrak gives you room and privacy. Fuck cars, build more trains.

[-] FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago
[-] cloaker@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

Unironically yes.

[-] utopianfiat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

So true bestie

Brings a whole new dimension to Amtrak® Autotrain™ services.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Train cars are a lot more expensive.

And a lot of places not especially accessible. The nearest Amtrak station is a 70-minute drive away for me. I'm married, but if that was what I had to resort to to have sex, fuck it, I'm becoming a monk.

[-] utopianfiat@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I agree, we should make trains cheaper and more accessible

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Good luck with getting the government to agree.

[-] doomkernel@sopuli.xyz 17 points 10 months ago

Well.. I'm not gonna fuck someone with the taxi driver looking. People have standards you know.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

It never stopped New Yorkers!

[-] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I would totally do it if they were ok with it.

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

This brings up a serious issue once these things become ubiquitous. If there’s no driver then who will make sure these things are clean? Over time these will become smelly vomit-filled cabs with litter if it’s a completely automated 24 hour cab system.

[-] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

There's a guy who wipes down the loads.

[-] JustAManOnAToilet@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Sounds like they need to make the interiors waterproof and send them through some automated wash between fares.

[-] cloaker@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

Hopefully public transport gains over them then, you can imagine how awful it'll be for the environment; and you'll likely get wet pants or socks where the car didn't dry quick enough 🤣

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I imagine it will be like those electric Lime scooters. They won't bother to take care of them other than charging them, and we will soon find automated cabs in the river.

[-] SuperIce@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Do they know that the cars have 360 cams recording the interior at all times? I'm pretty sure they tell you that immediately when you get in the car

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 21 points 10 months ago

Do they sell you the tape after, like a ride at Disney Land?

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Get a ride in the ride. Gonna have to pay twice for that.

[-] Seraph@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

Not sure how many people really want to see bobbing man ass! I doubt the camera sees much, this ain't a porno.

[-] sramder@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

That just makes it hotter 😉

[-] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago

That was my immediate thought / question too.

[-] girlfreddy@mastodon.social 0 points 10 months ago

@SuperIce @YoBuckStopsHere

Waiting for that cloud to gets hacked in 3...2...1

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 14 points 10 months ago

The thought of minding my own business on a street corner, looking up, and seeing a taxi with some people clapping cheeks rolling by me is a big source of amusement for me today

[-] walderan@sh.itjust.works 13 points 10 months ago

If you think this is anything new you should look up who coincidentally invented the autopilot for airplanes and the mile high club.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Not a surprise, much easier thanks to not having to drive.

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Mental note: never bring a blacklight into one of these vehicles.

[-] YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

It's like a Jackson Pollock painting in here!

[-] reflex@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Mental note: never bring a blacklight into one of these vehicles

It lights up clear as day.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Soon you will just jump in and ask for lovers lane and the car will take you on a nice long scenic route.

[-] demlet@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

That took a whole two seconds.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

If you're going to have sex in the waymo, please clean up well after yourselves.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

“Hey boss found more Mayo in the Waymo.”

[-] Beelzebubba@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Who knew autonymous cars would be the catalyst for the development of self sanitizing car interiors.

[-] markr@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

As a former taxi driver in nyc I can assure you that a driver is in no way an obstacle to people fucking in taxis.

[-] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yes, we've all seen the videos. You get more hits if you say it was your step sister.

[-] PseudoSpock@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Well that's what they're there for. Duh. ;)
