[email protected] is a community for things that you just don't get or understand. It's a community where you're welcome to be the opposite of the smartest in the room. Ask questions about things of which have perplex for years like "why was seeing a pig run a consolation?" or "why don't we shoo our space in to the sun?" and for those of you not comfortable with asking questions, even those like "why is going to bed with your socks on even though you have a spouse a thing?", you're welcome to be part of this community too and answer questions. The only thing I ask is that you be and not a condescending prick.

I originally said "You're free to post text posts, screenshots or memes." but it seems to be mostly text. Feel free to change that with your posts.

It's impossible to ignore the fact that the planet is dying. Climate change is real. Whether you believe it's man made or not, you have to accept there's certain things that just don't need to be done, one of those things is petrol based motorsport. How is it that we keep allowing these polluting races to take place, especially when we have carbon neutral alternatives available. I don't understand why Formula 1 is still a thing when we have Formula E.

I always felt like as we transitioned away from fossil fuels, and also moved towards self driving cars, motosports would grow in popularity not shrink.

The way things are set up with lobbying, the automotive industry keeps pushing cars. We'll eventually have a wake up moment and will have amazing public transport everywhere. When that happens and the necessity for cars dwindles, we'll start seeing a growth in motorsport as it becomes everyone's only fix.

We don't need self driving cars, we need more and more affordable and fast public transport
