“We expected that they fly around each other and they never have physical contact,” Hristov said. “We have found, shocking to us, that bats crash into each other quite often. It’s a messy situation, but generally it’s very safe and it works very well.”
I guess walking is like humans being in a gas state, and riding a bus is humans arranging themselves into a solid. But idk what liquid humans would be lol
They can hook up little butt fans to the seats so when you fart they can whisk away your flatus rather than making everyone fester in your stank. I mean they don’t but they can. Like how they do for astronaut ass
are these american thousands or are these weird european thousands with extra zeroes like their weird millions and billions tho. they have been getting sneaky beaky with their numbers, the way they count things all discrete like.
People could lay vertically in their hiding pods stacked on each other and we could put wheels on the bottom like those big baking sheet racks in commercial kitchens. But then we would need someone to push them…cue the bats!
People have cars for the same reason people like their own apartment or their own house. Other people are awful to be around. They will have no problem making loud noises, caughing at you, smelling bad… People dont care, at all.
People actually pay very much to own a car, and why do they do that? Because public transport is a horrible experience. Im addition to the things above, it takes you at least 2-3 times as long to get anywhere using public transport compared to a car.
I really hate it, no joke. Cant stand using it for more than maybe once per month if I have to.
I dont live in Vienna. There are actually other countries in the world and life is quite different depending on where you live. Thats why people dont have just one opinion about these things.
Lemmy is funny for downvoting an opinion about liking cars. :) But I know why. Its because many people here want others to like what they like. And its very annoying when they like things like driving, since its bad for the environment. And they wish everyone would take the bus.
As a general rule, you should always assume people write their personal opinions here since its not a scientific paper you are reading. I would never assume that you speak for the world when you write a comment here.
Driving requires you to be constantly alert, and if you screw up or don’t react fast enough, you can straight up die because of it. On a bus, you can be on your phone, read a book, take a nap, whatever. Driving is a much worse experience and even if public transit takes more time, that’s time that can be used doing things. That’s before factoring the cost (the car itself, gas, insurance), the environmental impact, parking, etc.

Why aren’t we doing this? I personally haven’t found the option to turn into a bat yet
Literally the only issue with the plan
Ethicists were too preoccupied with whether or not they should, they didn’t stop and think if they could.
Have you tried becoming a vampire?
Think of how long it would take to count that high
One! One aeon of eternity, ah ah ah! Two! Two aeons…

This implies a ideal gas law for bats, an ideal bat law, bat liquid, bat solid, and bat plasma
Cricket might know a thing or two about the bat law
In the US, only 33 cars for 50 people is optimistic
I don’t recall this version of Batman but I’m all for it.
What we do in the shadows tv show
I didn’t know Matt Berry was in that
I have a better question - why isn’t this posted in the !bats@lemmy.world community? We would love it here. Stealing and crossposting now.
I simply wasn’t aware of the community, I’ll remember it next time
It’s definitely a much smaller community than lemmyshitpost, but we love anything bat-related!
Vampire propaganda.
The 50 pedestrians vs 50 people in a bus is messing with my brain.
Yeah they must really be crammed in there.
Double decker?
A single-story coach has seats for about 50 people. Low-floor city busses a little less, but you can get 50 in there with people standing
50 pedestrians the way they prefer it. A bus with 50 people on board, where everyone is in each other’s personal space.
that’s gonna be one hell of a smush in the cage match
The pedestrians are just standing further apart. In the hustle and bustle of a shopping street they might be closer together.
So a bus is more space efficient than pedestrians?
Often times, yes. Because sitting/standing requires less space than walking and that makes up for the extra space of the bus.

If we ever run out of room for humans to walk around I think we’re cooked busses or not.
The nice part about riding the bus is you can kick back, relax, and smoke a ton of weed while you travel.
Just like the driver!
Yeah, fuck busses. Bats are way more eco friendly.
you can make them eat other bugs too it’s so eco friendly
It’s more efficient to stack pedestrians on top of each other.
Wasn’t there a horror movie about that?
Where do I invest?
Squeak at the sky after dark and some guys will show up.
Imagine the amount of mosquitoes you could fit.
Imagine the amount of mosquitos you could fit if they were inside in the bats’ bellies! They eat like their weight in bugs every night.
Yeah but you have that wasted space where all the bats flesh and bones are, that could be used to fill with more mosquitoes.
You will certainly not regret having 150,000 bats.
And now the traffic report:
“I’m over Ventura Blvd., and all the vampires walking in the Valley are heading west.”
Those humans are quite large.
Much larger than bats.

By beer?
really? only 150 bats? are these fruit bats or fat american vampire bats. i would like to speak to mathematic’s manager please.
That’s 150 thousand bats (i am not the mathematics manager though - she was probably hit by that bus)
are these american thousands or are these weird european thousands with extra zeroes like their weird millions and billions tho. they have been getting sneaky beaky with their numbers, the way they count things all discrete like.
SNEAKY.
BEAKY.
What if, to save space over cars but keep the personal comfort, everyone had their own hiding place with entrance hidden by brick and rubble?
People could lay vertically in their hiding pods stacked on each other and we could put wheels on the bottom like those big baking sheet racks in commercial kitchens. But then we would need someone to push them…cue the bats!
!bats@lemmy.world
The bats go dormant during winter. We got about 6 months of that.
And after that - all bats are off.
How do I turn into a swarm of bats?
Replace people with bats!
Also, replace pedestrians with buses
Or… get pedestrians way closer together… way… way closer… 😏
Do they all want to go to the same place?
And, cannot the bats fly? Surely there could be far many more.
Speaking of flying, lets just have spaceships for everybody.
Love this
Does it need to be a full-size bat, or can it be one of those mini replica bats? I bet you could fit at least twice as many of those bats.
How many wolves to bats?
Its awful to go on public transport.
People have cars for the same reason people like their own apartment or their own house. Other people are awful to be around. They will have no problem making loud noises, caughing at you, smelling bad… People dont care, at all.

I really hate it, no joke. Cant stand using it for more than maybe once per month if I have to.
What if…WHAT IF public transport is funded and improved upon?
Things are bad? Just make things good. That will be $7,000 consultant fee.
It will have other people.

Naah im good with having opinions. You should try it. Thats what these things are for actually. You know, comments? Thats their purpose.
PT is awful, yes.

Sounds like you like the bus, thats great. Good for you.
