Hi fellow rats, While i was looking outside on my balcony this summer. I wonder, why do we need so many street lights? It’s absurd. The sky is orange, and those light are slowly being replaced with white LED’s. Entire streets are fully lit with blinding LED’s and there are almost no people or cars around.

My question is?: Why do we need them in the first place? Whats the point? There’s this thing called a “flashlight”. You know, those small torches you hold in your hand.

And vehicles have headlights, which i’m sure is more than enough to see what’s infront of you.

Why spend billions illuminating space just for a false sense of safety?
