what ghoul failed at their job so badly that I can still sit idly at a traffic light for 40 seconds without watching an ad about forgettable-mayo-movie-3984438974239029 or detergent?
Step away from the lathe
Why do we even keep that thing around? We must return to the mountain where it was forged and cast it in to the fire!
Uhm…
Where was the lathe forged? Mt. Kilauea? I can’t think of many volcanoes.
Liberal Mountain, Idaho
I’d like to think its the least accessible volcano in Kamchatka (which is famous for its many volcanos and its remoteness).
Kamchatla is pretty cool but it’s one of the places in the world where at dusk there are so many mosquitoes it dims the sun so i never want to go there.
If i had one wish, it’s be that mosquitos just don’t.
Mt Disappointment, Vic, Australia.
Unfortunately someone lathed the lathe to be indestructible.
We tried that already
it keeps coming back
Mt. Doom.
I’ll end you if this becomes reality.
this is why I lie about everything on the internet
Oh for fuck’s sakeGET OFF THE FUCKING LATHE
You mean billboards? Those have been around for ages. I’ve seen digital ones that change themselves regularly.
we don’t have billboards in the suburbs, also they’re not attached to the traffic lights. it’s an outrage because why am I sitting for half or sometimes a whole minute with nothing commercial assaulting my eyeballs
If they were attached to the lights, nazis would run stuff on them. Governments can’t censor. Private companies can.
gee what a useful distinction, it’s a lucky thing the class interests that dominate bourgeois governments don’t also dominate their private companies!
I was explaining why they don’t do that.
Of course governments can censor.
No, they cant

I’m guessing most people are looking at their phones when they’re at the light, so they’re already getting served ads that way (
)not only when they’re sitting at the light but also when they’re hurtling down residential roads at 30mph over the speed limit
billboards exist and can be placed near intersections. municipalities are way too cash-strapped to replace their light infrastructure with ad-capable ones, even if i can imagine city council ghouls liking the idea. the regulatory apparatus is by state and lower so it would take a lot of time and money to make legal everywhere.
it just ain’t profitable in current conditions, i’m sure some monster has a patent

Traffic light ads could already exist. It’s possible to put voices in peoples’ heads via microwaves.
The microwave auditory effect, also known as the microwave hearing effect or the Frey effect, consists of the human perception of sounds induced by pulsed or modulated radio frequencies.
Microwave effects have been proposed as the cause of otherwise unexplained illnesses of U.S. diplomats in Cuba and China occurring since 2017 and 2018.[12][13][14] However, this explanation has been debated. Bioengineer Kenneth R. Foster noted of the health effects observed in the diplomats, “it’s crazy, but it’s sure as heck not microwaves.”[15] As of October 2021, a microwave cause remains one of the major hypotheses.[16][17]
The whiplash of footnotes 15 - 17 hurt me more than Havana syndrome ever harmed anyone
Drink verification can to turn the light green 5s quicker
because people are already looking at ads on their phones when they are sitting in front of traffic lights
