What are some of the more popular *non-commercial* cultural things you're aware of?

This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.

You can get a DUI on a bike in a lot of the US. The same DUI you can get driving an F350. I dunno, feels kinda fucked up to me

It sounds even dumber for the rider, and you can still hurt pedestrians. I dunno about it being the same as for cars, but it is a heavy moving object.

Bikes are an order of magnitude less dangerous by virtue of being an order of magnitude less massive.

When operated correctly, they're vastly safer. But it's still quite possible to have a double fatality from a bike/pedestrian collision at speed: cyclist goes flying; ped falls over; two brains broken. It's important for cyclists to follow traffic rules, stop at stop signs and for crosswalks, and bike on the street rather than the sidewalk in downtown areas.
