Have you ever wondered where fast pedestrians are supposed to cross?
@jerry In the US there are no fast pedestrians.
(I hate stereotypes, but for the sake of shitposting exceptions must be made)
I'll get me coat.
@jerry It's like those "Slow Children at Play" signs. Seems pretty brutal for their own parents to publicly call them out like that.
@jerry the village where my Dad lived in the UK had a warning sign at its entrance that said “Slow Children” which I always thought was a bit harsh.
@jerry I love the sign I go past often: "SLOW DOWN KIDS"
So far I got like 4, but my car is a wreck now.
@jerry like neutrinos, fast pedestrians are constantly crossing everywhere at all times without being observed
@jerry Town I used to live had a rather infamous school with a "slow children at play" sign everyone joked was very apt given the school
@bhawthorne @jerry Should I slow down due to children? (Speed limit is 25 mph in neighborhoods in MI) or are the children "slow" and I should watch out for them.
@jjesse @bhawthorne 🤔 I’ve long wondered why, if we need to slow down below the 25mph speed limit for kids, they don’t lower the speed limit.
@screaminggoat this is the right answer. Just look at that little one flapping in the breeze as they sprint
@cR0w that one has always bothered me. I thought parents were supposed to be cheerleaders for their kids
@jerry Years ago, we had a neighbor that went through probably half a dozen of those signs because no matter how the sign was written, it sounded like the same thing and they didn't like that they thought we were making fun of their kids. We were just making fun of the signs, but we soon learned why their kids were so slow.
@itisiboller touché
If properly seasoned and marinaded, a true delicacy.
Overcooked? No thanks. 😉
@jerry @thomasareed @deadtom there's probably something akin to Hanlon or Godwin's law that could be defined for this.
@michaelgemar @deadtom @jerry yeah I've been keeping away from children for years, to avoid suffocation.
At first I thought "no way a kid could suffocate me" but then I kept seeing the same advice on many other plastic bags, so I figured there must be something to it!
@awesomerob I feel a new theme for horror movies emerging before my eyes @michaelgemar @deadtom
