CB traffic can be entertaining at times. Especially the trucker drama near bigger cities. I used to have a CB in my car. One time near Chicago, this guy is hogging a channel for like 20 minutes, ranting about the impending “apocalypse” or something like that. Finally someone else seizes a brief moment of dead air, “Buddy, if God were merciful, he would end the world right now so we wouldn’t all be stuck listening to your stupid ass.”
And only the nut jobs, at least the last few times I tried it. It has been quite a few years at this point though.
And even if you don’t have that experience, truck drivers are mostly right wing, so you are still going to have to listen to insane conspiracy theories and uninformed political theory.
My dad had like a 1994 F250 long box - the kind that had the two fuel tanks. Anyway he had a CB radio on it and me and brother used to channel surf and swear at truckers and call false may days.
Equip your car with a CB and be the change you want to see in the world.

Made me laugh a little.
Yeah I often find instead of a CB radio they have a Lemmy account. Maybe it’s the lack of algorithm but schizoposts are amazing on here
I was gonna say, this is a thing already, but only the big rigs are consistently on it.
