Thank god we don’t have flying cars. Thousands of cars in the air… any of them could have engine trouble at any time…

Or crash into you because of “pedal error” ! I learnt yesterday there are 16000 yearly accident in the USA from “pedal error”. WTAF ?!

RedAggroBest,

First, what defines pedal error? Also 16k out of 6 million is basically a non-factor

@synapse1278@lemmy.world avatar

According to the Texas Department of Transportation, pedal error car accidents are defined as “accidents caused by unintentional acceleration or braking due to driver error.” These types of accidents can result in injuries, property damage, and even fatalities.

16k drivers who don’t have the proper skills to control their vehicules, this sounds like 16k too much to me, doesn’t matter the total number of drivers. It’s like drunk drivers, 1 fatality is already too much.

RedAggroBest,

It’s 6 million accidents, not drivers, more than that guaranteed

Sir_Premiumhengst, to memes in I have bad news for you...

My mind parsed this as “dead pope”

TheWorstMailman, to memes in Accio gasolina

This is some boomer nonsense. I can’t find 2 sources that seem to agree on specific numbers, but several sources, and my personal experience, agree that gas prices peaked in 2008 after the one two punch of Katrina and the housing market collapse

I started driving in 2006 and bought my first car in 2008 and I can confidently say that I’m paying less for gas now than I was when I started driving and I’m not even talking about adjusting for inflation. Are prices too high? Yeah, probably. But this “then vs now” shit just ain’t true

sherlockholmez,

Mfw other contries exist

blanketswithsmallpox,

True. Damn you other countries and early adoption of electric vehicles and smaller more fuel efficient cars

TheWorstMailman, (edited )

Fair. But isn’t complaining about gas prices America’s largest export?

Just checked some other countries and it seems like Canada is the only one that breaks this general pattern, though it’s obviously not rigorous research

Edit: Also, I don’t really care. I was just venting some frustration to The Internet

Ephera,

You’ve got some of the cheapest gas prices in the US, so I’m not sure anyone needs to import your complaints…

For reference, here in Germany, it currently costs around 1.70€ per liter, which is $6.97 per gallon.

devfuuu,

1.7 to 1.9 € and changes almost everyday.

kusivittula,

finland checking in at 1,9 €/L. which isn’t even that bad, half a year ago it was 2,3. that’s $9.43 per gallon.

The fed subsidizes the shit out of our fuel because the car industry is lobbying it to because the car industry knows that if Americans pay what the rest of the modern world does for gas, then chugga chugga choo choo motherfuckers, we’re finally building some goddamned trains.

That, or they won’t get to sell their huge, overly marked up trucks to middle class suburbanites anymore.

Either of those things would be good for everyone.

I’d also support regulation that bans modifying the ride height of a vehicle. All bumpers should align as a factory spec. We made 70s cars ugly because they required 5 mph bumpers, but we won’t tell Cletus he can’t make his truck bumper sit at neck level so that he doesn’t wipe out a family of four in a Toyota Corolla when he blows through a red light? Horseshit.

sudo,

What the fuck are you on about? What a weird response to a dumb meme.

I can confidently say the cheapest price I ever saw gas was in 2008. Gas is currently twice as much as that, and two years ago it was almost 4 times as much.

Can that be decoded in to an image at all or is it just garbage?

MacNCheezus,

Pretty sure it’s garbage, because it kept repeating JzH a couple hundred more times before terminating without a closing parentheses.

glibg10b,

But can it be decoded into an image?

Pizza gets better as “a” approaches zero.

Liz,

Extremely wrong. The ideal A:Z ratio is more like 1:4.

bitwaba, (edited )

That’s just a bread loaf with cheese on top

Liz,

Remember that Z is the radius. It’s flatter than you think. I made sure to reference an actual rectangle before making that statement.

bitwaba,

That’s a half a loaf of bread with cheese on top

Fridgeratr,

One molecule-thin crust pizza coming up!

nova_ad_vitum,

One molecule is thick af, with no extra Cs. Sexy Limits don’t stop just because our feeble reality has size limits.

But if a = 0 then PiZZa = PiZZ * 0 = 0

victorz,

But it’s approaching zero. It never becomes zero. 😙👌

piecat,

When is the pizza ready? When has it approached zero?!

We gotta get these pies moving cousin. 10 minutes or less or it’s free, that’s what big Tony says. We never should have let you take over operations, cousin, not with your fancy math degree. I felt bad because you couldn’t find job anywhere else. But what gabagool. What will mother say? You’re going to make her cry.

Thin crust + thin toppings.

jaschen, to lemmyshitpost in Today on "Unsolved Mysteries"...

Wired + Mesh Wifi is the best combo. House not wired? Try powerline Ethernet. It does degrade the more you have so I only have it for my computer and PS5.

DJDarren,

That’s what I have. My house is quite long, so I’m guessing my landlord ran a cable from the front wall in the lounge through to the office/bedroom at the back upstairs. As a result, we have two mesh nodes hardwired to the router, then a wireless one in the middle to just fill in any gaps. I’ve never had better wifi.

jaschen,

Sounds like you might have lead paint or thick cement in the walls.

I would just add another node using a powerline near your most popular spots. I would limit it to 2 max.

GBU_28, to lemmyshitpost in Everything happens for a reason

Smarter every day recently had a talk with NASA engineers where he said something that resonated with me.

“Its often discussed that if you could go back in time, you could change one thing, and observe a huge change in the following events.

But we never consider that we have that same power right now, today. Actions now can influence a wide variety of future outcomes.”

With some self reflection you can be the time traveler of scifi.

Some things are out of our control, but many are not, and simple changes, say, about our personal wellness or how we treat others can have big ramifications.
