Are you sarcastically trying to claim that “people in cars die to speeding motorcycles every day” is keeping a law firm in business?

111 mph is ~150fps

It’s a freeway. Everyone is going the same direction. Speed differential is what matters, and it was only around 45mph. You drive 45mph past parked cars all the time and don’t blink an eye. All it takes is one parked driver to pull out and it’s all over for you, apparently.

It is exactly the problem.

You people making shit up is the problem. You’re literally sitting there imagining scenarios where you can feel threatened by a man sitting on a 400 - 500 pound machine, who is traveling at 45mph relative to you. You’re ignoring the actual situation being discussed and inventing scenarios in your head so that you can feel threatened and express your righteous indignation while clutching your pearls. It’s really weird.

The comment by Freethought is interesting:

… Forty-two percent of Canadian manufacturers have already moved, or plan to move, some or all of their production to the United States, according to a May 2026 KPMG Canada survey. The survey found that 29% have already shifted production south and another 13% plan to within the next two years. Something tells me Trump already knows this, and when this becomes public knowledge, he will falsely claim it was all because of him.

It’s the same thing he did with egg prices. A Bird Flu outbreak drove prices up. Trump did nothing. The outbreak died down, thanks to responsible farmers, and prices dropped. Trump now brags that his administration brought egg prices down.

He is so astonishingly stupid.

“They’ve been ripping us off for decades, and it’s going to stop.”

Just once, I want to hear him back up any of his insult-claims with evidence of any kind. If a reporter pushes back, they get, “you know, you really are a stupid person” in response. Never any explanation. Canada has been ripping us off. Venezuela ripped us off. Everyone ripped us off, apparently, but I have no idea how. Just once, Donny, for the history books.

Those are actually ridden by members of the public, you know.

Are there a lot of tandem bicycles out on the freeway, where this event occurred?

Even if you were correct (you’re not), you’re ignoring that the modern car or SUV is still going to be a total loss.

I am entirely correct and, again, where was the collision in the event being discussed?

You want to make absurd hypothetical claims (that car drivers are terribly endangered by a motorcycle speeding in a single lane) and when that’s shown to be false you want to talk about a “total loss”. This is also pretty baseless. A motorcycle rear-ending a hypothetical car at a 45mph speed differential is unlikely to be a total loss of the car.

And you’re completely disregarding the head-on collision when that biker comes across the median and hits the car with a ~180mph speed differential.

Oh, neat, more absurd hypotheticals that are phenomenally unlikely. Meanwhile, motorcyclists are killed all the time by oncoming drivers turning left across their path or simply veering into the motorcyclist’s lane because dicking around on their phone is more important than controlling a multi-ton box.

Or the T-bone when the car doesn’t see the >100mph biker and turns across his path.

Do you make a lot of turns on freeways?

This always strikes me as odd because, given the AI race, the future value of each company is basically infinity or zero.

The trauma of witnessing a lethal accident and traffic delays due to cleanup have different severities but each can have lasting impacts on people.

You may not have noticed, but there was no collision in the article being discussed. He was speeding in traffic that was so light that he didn’t even need to change lanes. There was no collision. He had something like a 45mph speed differential versus other traffic.

How about you stop pontificating on hypotheticals and look at the actual situation being discussed?

Also, if you’re so concerned about the trauma of seeing motorcyclists injured, then you should be focusing on driver training and PSAs about scanning the road for more vulnerable road users. Motorcyclists are injured or killed by inattentive or reckless drivers at a rate vastly higher than the reverse.

people in cars die to speeding motorcycles every day.

No, they fucking don’t. It’s phenomenally rare. It’s utterly unheard of in one-way, divided traffic.

500 pounds of bike and rider impacting another vehicle at >100mph can easily kill everyone in that other vehicle.

Maybe if the other vehicle is a tandem bicycle. Nobody is dying in a modern car or SUV due to being rear-ended by a motorcycle with a ~45mph speed differential.

You’re not going to be personally harmed under those conditions on a freeway. A side impact due to cross- or turning-traffic on a two-way road? Maybe. Even then, a modern car is going to fare phenomenally well and much of the impact energy is turned into catapulting the rider into the air.

“But there’s a fairly decent amount of traffic. He was not weaving. He wasn’t doing anything like that. He was in a straight line in the left lane.”

I don’t care at all about a motorcycle riding at those speeds under those conditions.

ACAB because of cop favoritism, and fuck this scumbag in particular, though.

Anyone still posting on reddit (who isn’t a bot) is working for free for an unscrupulous company.

Reddit was founded during the “crowdsourcing” craze. People realized that they could launch websites where all the content was created by the users, and it would snowball into daily views.

My point is that posting and commenting on Reddit has always been doing free work for an unscrupulous company. You could argue that it wasn’t unscrupulous before it went public, but even that is debatable.

it is considered cannon that it’s not ok to kill children or unarmed ppl

If they have a cannon, then they’re not unarmed.

Lucky me, I’m stuck on 24H2.

I put a few hours into poring over various log files, trying to decipher vague error messages, before finally saying “fuck it.”

Great news, but what’s with that absolute serial killer smile in the main photo?

“My wife took so many pies to the face, when she stepped on the bathroom scale it screamed!”

They’d be shot, at best, arrested and imprisoned in the US

Worth it.

It absolutely blows my mind that no world leader has taken the opportunity, during one of these photo sessions, to simply punch the orange idiot right in the nose. I can think of no human being more in need of such a tune-up.

The average office worker has a good chance of a complete meltdown if an icon on their desktop is moved. Government and business are not going to move to Linux on the desktop.

I fully recognize the absurdity of this, particularly in an era when a huge number of office jobs are basically just interacting with a web browser. I’ve just spent enough time writing software for “regular folks” to see why it’s not going to happen.

Specifically, his Entenmann’s Donuts Era.

Concerns are heightened as one U.S. city has been without power for more than a week.

WHAT CITY?! Is it in the paywalled part of the article? Is it pure engagement bait? This news site is garbage.
