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

    “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.”

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

    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.

    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.

    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

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

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

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

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

    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."

    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?

    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.

    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.
