dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

now that autumn rain is here I can no longer skate to work and have to cycle instead so I made this meme as a coping mechanism

I actually recently had a battery failure after about 9000 miles on my EUC and it just disabled the failed battery and told me "please repair" while keeping me from faceplanting with the other battery. All my crashes have been either skill issues on my end or cars existing, fuck cars.

I'm happy that they had foresight into that exact problem, lucky you lol.

I dig the cyberpunk unicycle trend, and I hope that they continue to design them safely.

They're always getting safer and more powerful, and those two do actually go together in self balancing vehicles. That's why the Onewheel is so unsafe, because it doesn't have the power or redundancy to have any safety margin like EUCs do.

Onewheel

well, in that case, I think that it is safe to say that Onewheel can eat my shit and hair

They deliberately built the Onewheel without any speaker or even beeper to warn the rider because they thought it wouldn't be "cool." An Inmotion EUC pushed to its limit will tell you "overload, please get off" and gently slow you to a stop, a Onewheel pushed to its limit will just fuckin drop you.
