clean your windshield that shit is dirty as fuuck
Clean your windshield (correctly) and get some polarized sunglasses
But first he should surrender his driver’s license after revealing he’s a careless threat to his road safety & others’.
Or! And hear me out, here. A wile E. Coyote style painted brick wall.
this is so a pre-2010s problem
the new problem is LED headlights. I nearly hit somebody last week because I went when the light turned green and somebody was walking across the intersection on the other side, but completely invisible until the last second because of some asshole on the other side with LED headlights

and at night, when you realise their high beams were off the whole time… the hard way
most of the time when I get flashed back, it doesn’t even matter. their high beams aren’t any brighter than the low beams, they’re just aimed higher, and since their lowbeams are already aimed above my head, it doesn’t make a difference when they turn their high beams on to light up the tree tops
it still is pretty funny when you can tell that they’ve turned their high beams on by a tiny bit more light up above, but it has no effect on you. It’s a pretty clear indication that their low beams are too bright
But I need to outshine the quasar at the center of the galaxy to see where I’m going!
I’ve been in the situation plenty as a driver and if you don’t know how to handle it, destroy your driver’s license.
Jesus fucking Christ.
You people have the privilege of being able to legally drive on public roads… FFS.
Maybe calm down a bit?
It’s a meme sure, but it’s a dismissive meme about an issue that when poorly handled, kills people. That people have a heated reaction isn’t entirely unexpected, nor strictly unreasonable.
Why? If people think this is an acceptable situation to go ahead and drive in, then people are going to get hurt or killed.
How calm should I be about driver’s being so irresponsible that they endanger themselves and everyone around them because “lol, what was I supposed to do?!?” … Exactly?
Can’t see? Don’t drive. It’s not fucking rocket surgery.
Because it’s a meme on a meme community?
I’ve been having a shit week and I don’t mean to be a dick about it.
I’m not sure why I give this much of a shit about a post that should be ha-ha funny.
I’m sorry.
I hope you’re doing better, or will be soon. The world’s a shitty place at the minute. Keep the faith! Sorry if I’ve brought you down further.
I appreciate that. I can’t say anything is better right now, but I can say that I think I’m handling it better. So that’s something, I guess?
Either way, I wanted to thank you very much for your words. Be well.
If only there were some device built into all cars to block out the sun and clean your windshield while driving!
Some individuals even have articulated limbs capable of blocking specific overly bright spots of their point-of-view at a comfortable distance from the eyes.
While laborious & not as cool as driving several tons at speed blind, some would insist that driving without such high-level-of-complexity solution wound be insane.
Some individuals even have articulated limbs capable of blocking specific overly bright spots of their point-of-view at a comfortable distance from the eyes.
Big if true!
As I understand, some have several digits at the very end of those forelimbs and possess sufficient dexterity to use specifically the middle one of those to block the bright light.
GTFOH troll. Stop playing on fantasy land.
Do not casually drive in Hiroshima/Nagasaki in 1945.
Okay but what if I’m in a Toyota ae86 and need to deliver sushi?
Tofu*
It means it’s time to get serious.
Polarized sunglasses.
Just perform a safety squint.
Lmao, folk really be driving in light mode.
Once I was driving up a windy moorland road near Haworth — proper Brontë Country — straight into the sunset and I was going at an absolute crawl, feeling pretty self conscious that I was holding up traffic somehow. Think I made the right decision though as we saw a car that’d tried to go at speed off the road down a gully after entirely missing a corner, with the driver stood on his phone.
I hope you did them a proper Brit and yelled “you cannot park there mate” 😉
with the driver stood on his phone.
What terrible luck, first he breaks his car, then steps on his phone and probably breaks that too!
Can’t stand these super bright headlights, like everyone has high beams on constantly.
That’s the sun >.>
yeah well someone should do something about this “sun”
yeah and it drives like an asshole
It seems like the sun is being reflected off the bus’s window.
Would polarising glasses help?No, it’s the actual direct fucking Sun ffs
Oh right.
Had to look at it a bit longer to realise.
The rear light on that vehicle looked kinda like that of a bus though.Kill it!
High beams are worse because they direct the light up and out. And assholes think they can get away with it because they don’t have “the bright” lights.
tbh I’d rather drive by a 2010 car with high beams on than a 2020 car with lowbeam LEDs
and have done many times, it’s hilarious to be able to see better when a 2008 Corolla is coming towards me with high beams on that are perfectly adequate for lighting up the highway at speed, and a 2020 Corolla goes by after it and I can’t see the fucking road at all or anything around it or even where the 2020 car exactly is
* but also, have a baseball-cap in the car.
Love to see Limmy on Lemmy!
What is your name traveller… 😆
I would love to see Limmy on Lemmy. He’d fit right in here.
This comment section is either too autistic or not autistic enough, because they’re either unable to identify the joke in the post, or I’m unable to identify their level 7 advanced satire.
4D Checkers
Okay well maybe you should count me in with the autistics because what I see in that post is a filthy windshield and driver can’t see the road with the sun in their eyes and he’s also taking a picture while driving. Major threat to road safety.
It’s just a silly “Jesus take the wheel” joke
We identify the joke, it’s just not very funny
Nothing says “I can tell this is a joke, but it’s not funny” like telling OP that they’re acting dangerously as though they’re actually doing this, and giving them actual advice as though they asked for any.
/sJoke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.
Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.
advice dumb. People […] give better advice.
Not my comment flying straight over your head. That reply typifies what I’m talking about.
What advice do you think the joke was giving? Why would you think a joke is providing actual advice? Why would you think that actual advice is a useful response to a joke?
Even if it wasn’t funny, if you recognize it as a joke, none of the behavior makes sense. This smells strongly of lying to save face.Once again, I can’t tell if you’re too autistic to understand a joke, or I’m too autistic to understand your advanced satire.
Well I for one don’t get the joke. What’s the joke?
It’s just a “Jesus take the wheel” joke.
The humor is in the absurdity itself.Thanks for the pointer. I had to look it up. That song never entered my (British) consciousness and I guess that’s not a thing in the UK.
You should change your username to PermanentlyPedantic
Can’t answer my questions, then huh?
Do you have any theories on why you resorted to ad hominem instead?
I think with Lemmy it’s almost always the former
This is lemmy. The only way in ze real life we could deal with jokes is by pretending to not get them, and now it’s even taking over our online lives! AAAAAAAH!
I only do it with 3 or 4 bars of signal. I wouldn’t want my livestream to cut out during such a high intensity moment.
