That's life. Did you call up the bus company and thank them for engineering a bus to get you to work safely?

No, but some guy somewhere has dozens of model buses lined up in a basement where he lovingly paints tiny details on them while listening to Bus Stop Announcement ASMR
Hah, there are also various bus simulator games out there, trucking games and for some reason trains especially.

Not just tycoon games (like Transport Fever) but also ones that focus a lot on the details (Euro Truck Simulator seems to be a big one).

While we take lots of things for granted, there are always niche communities and people who like all of the details and whatnot.

It's very much the same how many might use languages without caring about how the GC works (where applicable) or use frameworks without caring about their internals, because they don't have to. And then there are those who do deep dives and sometimes come up with nice improvements or even just articles or videos about that stuff.

It's quite cool.

Not going to lie, that sounds completely awesome.
It was really a joke. I was sort of making fun of myself.

In retrospect, it seems to have fallen flat.

FWIW, I got it the way I am pretty sure you had intended it <3.
