A 17-year-old German teen has been living life as a modern nomad, leaving his parents’ house to live on trains and travel all over his country.

While most 17-year-olds are only just beginning to consider the idea of leaving the nest, Lasse Stolley has already been on his own for over a year and a half. Convinced that his school studies were already behind him, he convinced his parents to allow him to leave their home in Fockbek, Schleswig-Holstein to embark on a unique train-hopping adventure. It took a lot of convincing, but they eventually agreed, and for the last year and a half, the German teen has essentially been living on trains, traveling all over his home country, working as a self-employed coder during the day, and sleeping on night trains at night.

“I’ve been living on the train as a digital nomad for a year and a half now,” Lasse told Business Insider. “At night I sleep on the moving Intercity Express (ICE) train and during the day I sit in a seat, at a table and work as a programmer, surrounded by many other commuters and passengers. I travel from one end of the country to the other. I’m exploring the whole of Germany.”

He gave into his wanderlust in 2022, selling most of his possessions and packing what was left in a 36-liter backpack that he has been carrying with him ever since. Minimalism and resisting the urge to acquire new stuff are an essential part of his lifestyle, as he needs to take everything with him wherever he goes. It’s not always easy, but he has found a way to make it work.

Elon Musk wishes he was 1/10th as GREAT as this English manlet.

What are some techniques to control car drivers inside cities in order to make thigns safer for cyclists and pedestrians?

Heres a few I know
>wide roads make drivers want to go faster: IE if you make a road have space for 150% of the width of a car they will go faster than if its just 110%
>tighter roads make drivers wanna go slower
>obstacles placed on a road to force cars to slow down and turn in a straight road help too
what else? i love all the measures that don't involve speed bumps.
I think its better to make the driver FEEL like he has to go slow, rather than making him feel like hes being forced or nagged to go slow

Are they good (any tips to improve on will be appreciated)

SS United States to be sunk, creating the world's largest artificial reef. RIP to one of the greats.

Cyclists of /n/, do you wear a lot of loud obnoxious advertising logos on yourself when you ride?

If I passed you, don't take it personally. It's because you're slow, weak, and have no stamina. No, don't look at my bike. I could smoke you any day, even you were riding a Colnago Gioello, and I could do it on a $100 BSO from Walmart. Little man, learn to take defeat gracefully. I won, fair and square.

If you passed me, chill out dude, you're such an insecure tryhard. You wasted all that money to win a race that only exists in your head. Sure I could have been a pro, still could if I'm being honest, but that kind of thing doesn't interest me, I have nothing to prove to myself. So why should I try to prove anything to others, let alone you? Stop and smell the roses, that's my philosophy.

Post your ride during sundown
Post your favorite lights and light setups

Do not:
Be a hater
Talk shit
Post daylight ride photos

The EMUs are out of service. Post your pics here of Queensland Rail service- double imaginary bullshit points for rural/discontinued services

As you guys may know, theres now huge subsidies coming from the WEF or the EU to remove car traffic from city areas

its a bit sad because some of these towns and cities used to have extremelly walkable main streets in the early 20th century, beautiful cobblestone pavements, etc, and it was all removed for cheap asphalt when cars became the thing. Now the pedestrian pavement is often just cheap concrete or modern materials imitating older cobblestone.
You even see some retarded mayors destroying an entire 19th century park to replace it with concrete and fake grass and it just breaks my soul. How can we conserve and preserve true traditional urban planning and 19th century walkable standards?
