Tweet of the Day

How do you accomplish American-style grocery shopping with no car? Where there's a will, there's a way! Yeah, this is staged, but it's pretty clever. (Thanks, WTM!)

  1. And on a rainy day too. I wonder how far he had to travel.

  2. His center of balance is so high any upset he'd never recover his balance. Why do you think it's staged and not something he does regularly? He seemed to know exactly what he had to do and that usually comes fom experience.

  3. 1. Lime scooters are expensive to rent, especially for a shopping trip.

    2. He could have had that stuff delivered for less extra money.

    3. He parked out in the lot when he could have parked near the door.

    4. Why aren't the carabiners already attached to his vest? He says he does this every week.

    5. Cloth shopping bags would have been safer. And a backpack would be better than a baby carrier.

    6. The videographer is too good.

  4. He could have gotten all those groceries in two cloth shopping bags and a backpack. My kid used to grocery shop on a Honda Metro and she knows.

  5. He could probably get a second-hand mountain bike and a second-hand child trailer for less than a hundred bucks.  It would be a lot safer since the weight would all be lower, he wouldn't have to worry about the possibility of the the carabiners ripping through the handles of the plastic bags (or the bottoms of the bags themselves tearing through), and he wouldn't need to depend on the kindness of strangers to hook packages to the carabiners on the back of the vest.  He also wouldn't be dependent on the availability of the rent-a-scooter.

    And speaking of the rent-a-scooters and the sudden popularity of electric motorcycles (erroneously referred to as e-bikes) – I find it nothing short of amazing how much effort and energy we as a society will expend so that we don't have to physically exert ourselves any more than we absolutely have to.
