To the Joker, the Train a Grand Velocite is just a Train de Velocite Moyen
Hey come now, Germanys ICE train is up there!
Only our tracks aren’t (also slowing the TGV down, here).
Germany when trying to modernize rails: „We’ll try to be done by 2070“
I know, I know. But 2070 is the supposedly realistic year from which on it is supposed to get better.
X to doubt.
Welp I won’t live to see it so idgaf /s
With a bit oft luck you’ll still see Stuttgart 21 in your lifetime
That’s infinitely better than the US trying to force everyone to drive monster trucks by 2070
I remember going by train from Oxted to London in a carriage that had doors for each compartment of eight seats, and no common aisle. I was shocked, I didn’t expect wagons like this to be still around.
And all in all, it was about as fast as me going by bike.

If they’re not going backwards they get confused…
Now go on the road and think that about every single driver out there
Meanwhile in America “you guys got trains?”
you got trains too, often off rail but it still count

Damn.

“Don’t donate your organs! They’ll take your organs!”
“I-- uh… yes?”
I really fucking hope an astroid gets us before we’re capable of space travel.
yup. we can’t even look after the planet we live on. Why would we go to another planet to ruin that one too?
I’m hoping for a zero point energy transition and the entire Universe just gets wiped clean.
