!justdontgetit@lemmy.tf is a community for things that you just don't get or understand. It's a community where you're welcome to be the opposite of the smartest in the room. Ask questions about things of which have perplex for years like "why was seeing a pig run a consolation?" or "why don't we shoo our space in to the sun?" and for those of you not comfortable with asking questions, even those like "why is going to bed with your socks on even though you have a spouse a thing?", you're welcome to be part of this community too and answer questions. The only thing I ask is that you be and not a condescending prick.

I originally said "You're free to post text posts, screenshots or memes." but it seems to be mostly text. Feel free to change that with your posts.

It's impossible to ignore the fact that the planet is dying. Climate change is real. Whether you believe it's man made or not, you have to accept there's certain things that just don't need to be done, one of those things is petrol based motorsport. How is it that we keep allowing these polluting races to take place, especially when we have carbon neutral alternatives available. I don't understand why Formula 1 is still a thing when we have Formula E.

Street races, especially Monaco, are generally hated as they are not typically wide enough to allow for much overtaking. Monaco specifically is one of if not the worst circuit of season. As far as street maintenance, the impact is negligible and is likely unnoticeable within a few months with repairs not taking place until a short time before the next year's race

In my head whenever I think of street races, I always think of the potential of Westminster Bridge.
