Some very normal person is gonna comment on this somewhere openly fantasizing about running all of them over for "taking up the roadway" and a bunch of other very normal people are gonna concur without any pushback.
And when you report it to the platform the moderators won't see anything that goes against said platform's code of conduct.
Autobahn? More like Auto Ban!
Can we please get a comparison pic of 32,000 cars on the autobahn?
You need a satellite to do that, I think
Wouldn’t it be better to compare 32,000 people in vehicles? Doing really rough math, someone else who doesn’t suck at math should run through it lol. But hand jamming some numbers gives me a bit over 20 miles (32.5 Km) of flowing, 3 lane, 4 person cars to get to 32,000 people. It’s like 9 miles (14.5 Km) with bumper to bumper LA stopped traffic. 50 person buses, bumper to bumper is 1.8 miles (2.9 Km).

32000 people in cars ≈ 32000 cars

Okay, okay, so it's not literally 1 person per car and is actually more like 1.2 in Germany (see fig. 3) -- but it rounds down!
And one rollerblader
That's Gerry. He's cool.
I don't want to annoy you, but imgur blocks VPN-access, so please try to use other services.
yeah i know, sorry about that :P i was using boost to post this and didn't know it would automatically host it using imgur
any recommendations for alternatives these days? i would've gone for something like catbox.moe or 0x0.st but I think those delete uploads after a certain amount of time
How long does Catbox keep files for?
Forever. If you don't want your file to stick around until the heat death of the universe, use Litterbox.

beautiful 🌟
and fuck cars btw...
Yeah it was nice. I didn't do the highway route because the kid wanted the child-friendly part, but still it was really nice to see so many people in the streets.
There were people coming from other cities as well, riding the whole night to get to Berlin on Sunday. Love it.
By the way, 32k sounds a lot, but in its heyday there were 200k people riding around. Even last year with 50k crowd it was completely different feeling, the inner city almost without cars.
