It wouldn't surprise me if something like this actually has happened.

u/USBombs83 Jun 19 '26

I'm a white man and this never happens to me. In fact, I've had doctors ask ME to interpret test results for them. (VA Doctors, but still technically a doctor I guess...) I go to the doctor with my partner and this happens to her every single time. She has a doctorate and is a medical researcher. I went to motorcycle school.

To be wary of Earth's apex predator: Trains

27

u/walkinmywoods Jun 19 '26

TRAIN FACT: Trains both in the wild and in captivity have never known a natural predator who can rival it. Besides another Train.

u/MaleierMafketel Jun 19 '26

TRAIN FACT: The Indian Train is the most successful predator on earth. If you’re in India, you’re never truly safe from being ambushed by an Indian Train.

u/SmoothTurtle872 Jun 19 '26

TRAIN FACT: Although we have seemingly domesticated many trains, allowing for us to utilise them for transport, they are only partially domesticated, and still view us as food.

TRAIN FACT: He was born when Halley's comet came in 1835 and died when Halley's comet returned in 1910.

u/TheConboy22 Jun 20 '26

TRAIN FACT: 100% of humans that have mated with trains have died. Don't mate with trains.

Leaves on the line

u/Insanebrain247 Jun 20 '26

I always knew trains were the dragons of the vehicular world.

u/no_brains101 Jun 20 '26

What about some wet leaves on the track on a sharp turn?

1

u/talltraveller Jun 20 '26

Incorrect. I used to deploy portable derailers in a previous job. We used them to protect track equipment and personnel from rogue trains.

IT WAS ME, I WAS THE APEX PREDATOR!

u/Kulandros Jun 19 '26

They sure do make me tired.

u/Kapurnicus Jun 19 '26

I'm not sure I've ever laughed so hard at an internet comment. Thanks.

u/octopusforgood Jun 19 '26

Nah, that fear is innate in motorcycles. It’s why they’re so loud, just constantly making themselves sound big and scary so trains won’t try anything (works pretty well; notice how the US has so few trains?). The quiet ones are either in Eurasia, in therapy, or on anti anxiety fluids or both.

u/Astrochops Jun 19 '26

Maybe OPs Mom should be weary of that too

2

u/Excellent_Law6906 Jun 19 '26

I hate to do this, but you wanted 'wary'. You're weary of being wary of Earth's apex predator.

2

u/3MetricTonsOfSass Jun 20 '26

Thank you. Hopefully I'll remember next time

1

u/Mx-Adrian Jun 19 '26

I too am tired of trains

1

u/Git777 Jun 19 '26

I'm a bad example. (My last name is Train and I am a herbivore)

2

u/Hamburger_FatBoy Jun 19 '26

An herbivore…a/an depends on the starting sound of the next word, not the starting letter.

1

u/Git777 Jun 19 '26

Good rule! That makes in "a herbivore". The H is not silent. America is not the world.

1

u/3MetricTonsOfSass Jun 20 '26

Was an ancestor of yours adopted and raised by trains? Like the kids raised by wolves

2

u/Git777 Jun 20 '26

Close, it means "Hunter" apparently. Maybe more related to the concept of training.

21

u/BinaryBolias Jun 19 '26

Proper VROOOOM techniques, I'm sure.

u/Hamburger_FatBoy Jun 19 '26

If it was a school in Phoenix or Orlando, it‘s more like potato..potay.. potato..potay..

u/BinaryBolias Jun 20 '26

Just a difference of dialect.

u/IceBlue Jun 19 '26

They don’t teach motorcycles. They teach people how to become motorcycles. Same as nursing school.
