      On Firefox, long press the image. If the alt text is long then you also have to press the text to expand it.

      Most mobile browsers show alt text when you long press the image, sometimes you have to tap on the alt text if it’s longer than a few words (same as mentioned by the Firefox comment)

      Also, in sync for lemmy the xkcd comics load as an image but the overflow menu contains extra details including alt text.

      I think people are just confused on how that would actually work, it’s like boomers staring at a roundabout thinking it’s making traffic worse. People are so used to congested streets with cars that looking at the example probably gives them anxiety thinking about navigating it.

        saw a comment a couple days ago – “You are not stuck in traffic. You ARE traffic.”

    No, spikes aren’t permanent enough, drivers can just move them tot he side or cover them to pass over them. We should plant Czech Hedgehogs and Dragon’s teeth on out roads!

    Sure, just throw tires spikes on the road. Let’s have people buy more tires, and trash the (what used to be good) tires into a landfill. Yeah that’ll show them drivers

      Something tells me that people don’t want to drive somewhere that has road spikes on the ground.

        Now I’m imagining the city hiring armored trucks with spike-plows and police escort, clearing spikes from the most important lanes after car-haters have scattered huge quantities everywhere.
