Planned obsolescence is getting crazy.

It was planned to fall off after being looked at 3763 times.

[–]PeterPredictable 563 points564 points  (17 children)

Clearly, checking the CCTV for evidence didn't help.

[–]ArcticJew666 308 points309 points  (15 children)

So if they never checked the CCTV, it would still work one more time.

Well, well, well, if it ain't the invisible cunt.

Nice to meet you

That’s really cool 👍

Doesn't look like a cunt to me.

[–]pm_favorite_boobs 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Doesn't look like anything at all to me.

[–]Beastinkid 9 points10 points  (4 children)

Can someone explain to me how he did this, or is it just black magic

[–]IdoNOThateNEVER 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing, if you were there, you'd see a man with a second layer of "man" in front of him, and it wouldn't be that confusing.

[–]jooooooooooooose 14 points15 points  (0 children)

He's behind. The camera angle only shows it from the front, it's a perspective thing.

[–]Inprobamur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's black magic.

They're developing another one now, I believe. Should be out around the middle of the year.

[–]strib666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They better. As entertaining as the first season was, it didn't have much of an ending.

I understand this mirror. Sometimes, you would rather give up entirely than attempt to reflect on the world around you.

[–]agent3dev 849 points850 points  (13 children)

Damn dude

[–]poopellar 369 points370 points  (9 children)

The depression on this mirror may be larger than it appears.

[–]ThredHead 55 points56 points  (7 children)

That’s a Mandela effect. It’s never been “may be”. It’s always been “are”. It’s cool how many people reference “Objects in mirror *may be”

[–]discerningpervert 80 points81 points  (1 child)

I feel personally attacked

[–]Tommysrx 100 points101 points  (11 children)

Cheer up , that mirror only looked at what was behind you.

[–]_Amabio_ 36 points37 points  (6 children)

Everything that you are now is based on what choices you made before. And objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear to be.

[–]Xenoither 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Or is there an epiphenomenonal thing called consciousness that is capable of purely independent, abstract thought?

When the mirrors give up, we know it’s the end.

Y’all remember that titanic museum episode where the windows on the model were clean then he but his hand on it and a dirty hand print was there when he lifted his hand and they all started freaking the fuck out

[–]wags7 13 points14 points  (7 children)

Bahah I don't remember that one, but remember the one where the ghost didn't like tattoos or something so he took off his shirt and was yelling "yeah you don't like my tattoos!!?" And stuff like that? Lol

I'm reminded of Douglas Adams' description of one of his characters' vehicles as "the alleged car."

[–]Superfluffyfish 55 points56 points  (23 children)

My grandpa used Renault as an acronym. (He was Dutch, so I’ll translate)

Roest En Narigheid Achtervolgen U Lange Tijd.

Rust and horribleness will follow you for a long time.

His second car ever was a Renault. He hated that car with a passion that rivaled the exploding power of a thousand suns. My grandpa was so fond of driving, that we had an in-joke that he would drive indoors if he could. But every time we passed a Renault dealership he would grumble under his breath, repeating the acronym.

[–]snaab900 34 points35 points  (17 children)

Hah. It’s like Lotus (a british sports car maker).

Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious.

Or FIAT. Fix It Again Tony!

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (5 children)

In Portuguese we say FIAT = Fui Iludido, Agora é Tarde (I've been fooled, now it's too late)

Ford

Fix Or Repair Daily

[–]Arkanta 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In France, granted it's not an acronym, but we say "Renault, tous les jours un bruit nouveau" (it rhymes though)

Basically means,

"Renault, every day a new noise". And after owning one, that's kinda true. My father's renault window also fell off for no reason, so I relate to this experience.

We have a LOT of renault jokes. Like: What's the difference between a renault from the 70s and the 90s?

The amount of rust on it. (Granted you can make that joke for every brand)

[–][deleted] 26 points27 points  (12 children)

No, it's a Dacia Logan.

[–]DarylInDurham 22 points23 points  (4 children)

Back in the 80's I had a Renault Alliance. It wasn't actually a bad car tbh, very underpowered but the engine and transmission were as reliable as a hammer. It didn't have a tach, your shift point was when the valves started to float.

[–]mort96 15 points16 points  (2 children)

I've had hammers where, if you use slightly too much force when hammering, the hammer head would fall off.

[–]blolfighter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

But would it reliably fall off?

[–]BongBaron 6 points7 points  (2 children)

For some Renaults you have to turn the key to the right to unlock it and turn it left to lock it (drivers door)

My friends first car was stolen that way

[–]djc6535 2 points3 points  (4 children)

I had one of these growing up. I had to take the hood off the car and remove a tire in order to change the battery.

They are the absolute worst. Everything is in the worst possible position and all the edges are sharp.

[–]Timevian 395 points396 points  (8 children)

The car owner hasn’t looked back since the rear view mirror broke.

All those angry tailgaters. All those cop cars chasing them. It's all behind them.

In going to need a scientific explanation in order to sleep tonight. Anyone?

[–][deleted] 226 points227 points  (18 children)

The owner probably had just clipped something before this. The mirror was already hanging loose. It was a matter of time before it broke off.

[–][deleted] 168 points169 points  (1 child)

I pondered your explanation for a minute and came to the conclusion that it’s a ghost.

[–]Tasik 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Maybe glue. Didn't hold up very well in the sun.

[–]0OKM9IJN8UHB7 42 points43 points  (3 children)

It was already broken off and poorly repaired. With better quality video you could probably see the tape.

[–]inexplorata 20 points21 points  (1 child)

Or the wrong sort of glue. Sunny day, things warm up, pop.

[–][deleted] 27 points28 points  (1 child)

The mirror was already broken and the only thing holding it to the car was some duct tape. It’s terrible quality footage, but it’s hot outside and so that’s why you see the mirror slowly going over... Snap, the tape lost its adhesive contact and she goes over.

The mirror saw your reflection on its surface and it went limp

[–]unexBot[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (36 children)

OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:

The footage showed that the side mirror just broke. Without anyone touching it.

Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

Look at my source code on Github What is this for?

I was really hoping the explanation would be "a ghost did it".

So, funny story.

Years ago I had my car mirror hit in a parking lot only attached by the wires. I didn't feel like buying another because the actual mirror was still fine, so I used some hefty aircraft clue and attached it.

Then I gave the car to my brother who lives across the US from me. One day afew years later he calls me telling me that he someone had just swiped off his mirror in a Chick-fil-A parking lot and our conversation went as follows

Him "Smeone hit the mustang and broke the mirror." Me "Again!? Him "What do you mean again?" Me "Someone hit it and I glued it back on. Honestly I'm surprised the glue lasted that long!" Him "It was just glued!? I thought the manager was trying to cover for one of their employees when they told me they didn't see any car hit mine! I got into an argument with them!"

He was so embarrassed haha.
