This was supposed to be c/traingang, so post as many train pictures as possible.
All about urbanism and transportation, including freight transportation.

A 6 pack of 20x20x1 BNX TruFilter MERV 11 filters is $46.99 on amazon.com, about $7.83 each. You'll want to replace them every 6 months.
20 inch Lasko box fans are $23.37 each at walmart
A roll of painter's tape is $4.97 at walmart
It apparently costs $113.36 per year to run a 20 in box fan 24/7, based on average American electrical costs in 2023.
The average American spends $8466 on their commute each year.
You could make and run 55 air purifiers for the cost of the average commute.
How does it compare to the air quality in a river of cars rolling 3mph through dystopian city scapes?
Whatever it takes to avoid the excessive snacking debuff
Being sedentary at a desk for 8 hours is probably worse for you than the air quality drop and the snacking combined.
There's no way forcing me to smell Amber's chopped raw broccoli breakfast salad is better for air quality than letting me sit in a cloud of my own farts at home
Amber.
That one person that insists on microwaving their fish lunch in the office.
"What? 'Aerosolized virus particulate' is a quality air can have! And let me tell all you stay at home shut ins: y'all are missing out!"
Yeah but there are co-workers at the office.
I thought this was the onion at first
It might as well be. Reality IS the onion now
And every day, we reach a deeper layer...
for all that is holy please start commuting again we promise to build another car lane
It also leads to more paid naps and the opportunity to do my workout during pointless meetings.
Excessive snacking 
looks pointedly at the 2lbs bag of pretzels I have stashed in my office desk
Get a houseplant and a standing desk. Problem solved.
"the office has a break room fully stocked with snacks, but your mostly-empty fridge is the problem"
who the fuck actually works somewhere that provides snacks?
Even in the best case scenario, that cushy benefit is just coming out of your paycheque.
My work "provides" snacks, in that there is a little shop in the cafeteria where I could buy a candy bar or a cup of instant ramen for 200% the price of what it would cost at the grocery store a 10 minute walk away.
now that sounds like something i can conceptualize of
More offices are getting these little convenience stores with snacks and drinks. You pay at a booth and a camera watches you to make sure you don't steal

It's like being back in (increasingly privatized) public school again. When will workers need hall passes to leave their open office spaces? 
I’m gonna go do an excessive snacking
I expect to work from home AND be paid hazard pay for it.
Ooh you absolute animal! i want you on my negotiation team
Journal-Constitution what the fuck does that mean lmao
It's a zine for spellcasters to share tips on improving their saving throws if they're injured mid-cast.
Genuinely assumed it was The Onion at first. How many made up excuses can there be?
they probably right. judging by ppls reactions to the pandemic, good air quality is a unfamiliar concept for many
Well of course, how many people do you see farting in the office?
Did they take down the article? It gives me 404 error.
Being in a forest is very healing probably partially because there's just so much oxygen in the air
forest > grassland > carless city > suburb street > city street > indoors > indoor office building
