Is he suggesting that playing in the streets was something he used to do before the advent of cars? Like there were all that roads everywhere with kids just playing on them willy nilly, until one day Henry Ford met General Motor and said, “You know what we oughta do with all these fuckin’ roads?” And ever since then, kids haven’t been able to play on them any more?
Is that the version of history we’re pedaling here?
Even if it were historically accurate, look at the absolutely depressing statement that makes it : I had to give up playing in the street to make way for cars, that’s just the way it is.
I don’t know if using pedalling vs peddling was intentional, but it was funny
idk maybe there were roads for carriages before cars were invented? I’m not old enough to know
Roads have been around for thousands of years, but not really the type of roads he’s talking about. Especially since he doesn’t remember them before cars anyway.
Neither is fucking Jensen Huang, the car was invented over 100 years ago for fuck’s sake.
Jensen, buddy, go fuck yourself.
They AI sloppified the funny jacket guy :(
Shovel seller tells everyone they need shovels, what a surprise.
Make streets playable again
Please, Jensen, demonstrate how you used to play on the streets. In fact, do it at night or in the fog. Anywhere with low visibility for drivers.
People definitely still do play in the streets. Maybe not in America though.
I grew up in America in the 90s. We always played in the streets. When a car came you yelled “car!” and everyone skedaddled to the side of the road until it passed. I still see kids playing in the streets occasionally, depending on the neighborhood.
Not in poor america*
Kids play in the streets all the time in cul de sacs in affluent suburbs with low car traffic
In poor America there aren’t enough cars to make it unsafe. You can bike up and down the road all day.
No, they definitely still do it there too.
KIds and Adults play in the streets. “game off, game on”, are still in use. People will have a hoop set up at the curb. Maybe that’s just ‘small town’, but I’m talking neighborhood small streets, not major thoroughfares.
There are more and more people saying you should go fuck yourself so i guess neither will get what they want.
He needs to play in the streets again, for old times sake.
Highways are like big streets, and twice as fun.
What the fuck is he on about? Plenty of kids play in the streets in residential and rural areas. Not every road has the same traffic
Riiiiiiiiight
Up yours Jensen you ballbag
You just reminded me of a friend who had a B.A. in psychology, an LLB (law degree) and wanted to either become attorney general or do an agricultural science (AgS) degree in order to have either BALLBAG or BALLBAgS as his qualifications after his name.
Hahahaha that’s funny shit
That is awesome. If you still know this friend, please, buy them a coffee on my behalf
He’s a good man, deserves at least a pint next time I see him!
He starts to look more and more like the villain from East Asian movies…
I played in the streets with all the other kids from around the block area when cars where a thing.
With that logic we should replace streets next to CEOs and politicians with data centers!
