Why aren't we doing this? I personally haven't found the option to turn into a bat yet

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 30 points 5 days ago

Literally the only issue with the plan

[-] Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Ethicists were too preoccupied with whether or not they should, they didn't stop and think if they could.

[-] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 12 points 5 days ago

Have you tried becoming a vampire?

[-] untorquer@quokk.au 4 points 5 days ago

Think of how long it would take to count that high

[-] swab148@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 days ago

One! One aeon of eternity, ah ah ah! Two! Two aeons...

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 days ago

In the US, only 33 cars for 50 people is optimistic

“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.”

This implies a ideal gas law for bats, an ideal bat law, bat liquid, bat solid, and bat plasma

Vampire propaganda.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

So a bus is more space efficient than pedestrians?

[-] kapulsa@feddit.org 17 points 4 days ago

Often times, yes. Because sitting/standing requires less space than walking and that makes up for the extra space of the bus.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

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

If we ever run out of room for humans to walk around I think we're cooked busses or not.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

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.

[-] RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 8 points 5 days ago

I simply wasn't aware of the community, I'll remember it next time

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

It’s definitely a much smaller community than lemmyshitpost, but we love anything bat-related!

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago

The 50 pedestrians vs 50 people in a bus is messing with my brain.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

50 pedestrians the way they prefer it. A bus with 50 people on board, where everyone is in each other's personal space.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 7 points 5 days ago

Yeah they must really be crammed in there.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

Double decker?

[-] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

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

I don't recall this version of Batman but I'm all for it.

Yeah, fuck busses. Bats are way more eco friendly.

You will certainly not regret having 150,000 bats.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 12 points 5 days ago

The nice part about riding the bus is you can kick back, relax, and smoke a ton of weed while you travel.

[-] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 14 points 5 days ago

Just like the driver!

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 10 points 5 days ago

It's more efficient to stack pedestrians on top of each other.

Those humans are quite large.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Much larger than bats.

Imagine the amount of mosquitoes you could fit.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

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.

And now the traffic report:

"I'm over Ventura Blvd., and all the vampires walking in the Valley are heading west."

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

[-] myotheraccount@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

That's 150 thousand bats (i am not the mathematics manager though - she was probably hit by that bus)

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

[-] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

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?
