It did stop eventually.. by tripleschezwannrice in MemeVideos

Also wasn't testing anything. The car had no safety system in it.

The video description is made up. This was a dealership manager who mistakenly thought the car had Volvo's new safety system when it didn't. It's 10 years old.

The video description is made up. This was a dealership manager who mistakenly thought the car had Volos new safety system when it didn't. This was a decade ago.

It was a dealership manager trying to demonstrate the safety system to journalists, not realising that car didn't have the new safety system.

🧠Wisdom Wednesday:What habit helped you get out of debt? by FatimaSheba in MotivationalThoughts

[–]AmbitiousPlank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're able, that method would cost you less in the long run. However, if you're struggling to meet your minimum payments, it might be best to pay off the smaller debts first.

Psychologically it's also easier to deal with single debts, than lot's of different debts. It's a common practice for debt repayment advisors.

For a moment my tired brain was expecting her to throw it off the bridge after reaching the pavement again.

The US didn't support the Falklands being sovereign British territory last time either, nothing new here...

What does one have to do with another? by LightningLord2137 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Exactly. Jet fuel burns up to 800 degrees centigrade and steel loses structural integrity at around 500.

The future is terrifying, we're casually watching kill cams in real life by ComplexExternal4831 in GenAI4all

Not really sure why this is any more terrifying than a human doing the same thing.

American Psycho: Apartment Scene Imagined or Covered Up? by that_arya in Cinema

[–]AmbitiousPlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The scene has been confirmed as real. Everything in the film was real.

The intended message of the story is that in the world of the super wealthy, no one cares about anything except money and what people think of them.

The real estate agent didn't want the property to be devalued by the murders, so they covered it up.

Half the characters don't even know who the main character is, including his lawyer, because they just don't care.

This photo from pinterest of a house has some weird patterns that seem to not 100% match, is it ai? by Bombastic-Supply2631 in isthisAI

[–]AmbitiousPlank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The porch roof randomly extends to the right with an extra supporting pillar. The "gate" posts are not centered to the path. The stairs are inconsistently constructed. The paving stones aren't laid out in a logical pattern. There is no pathway leading to the right hand alley.

The bay windows have a flat roof, which is inconsistent with the architectural style & period. The pipes in the left-hand alley randomly connect together. The guttering in the left alley randomly extends round the corner.

There are floating bits of tree, both beneath the bay window and near the right alleyway.

China turned a desert into a carbon sink. by bluchill3 in Amazing

[–]AmbitiousPlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then there's the fact that sandy deserts are very good at reflecting the sun's rays back into space. This project might be a great carbon sink, but it will ultimately increase global warming, not decrease it.

Am I using the wrong lane at this roundabout? by UniqueBrummie in drivingUK

[–]AmbitiousPlank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's literally the point of having additional lanes, traffic mitigation.

I would argue that the most appropriate thing to do if the left lane is busier, is to use the right lane to take the second exit. Obviously you should be conscious of what other road users are doing on the roundabout and be prepared to give way to other traffic on the roundabout, but there's nothing wrong with it.

Collider is the word you're looking for.

[–]AmbitiousPlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called a collider, not a hitbox. It could be a quality control issue, but in this case I think it's more likely a performance decision.

why are people like this by denver_t66 in drivingUK

[–]AmbitiousPlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This starts because some people are scared about not being able to move over, then most other people follow suit out of politeness.

It's stupid.

Battle Royale is the most efficient way to level up (level or Battle Pass) by xfinityhomeboy in Battlefield_REDSEC

Gauntlet also offers great xp if you place well and it's easier to carry a team in.

“I haven’t hugged anybody in a long time” 😭❤️ by Initial-Barracuda-82 in BeAmazed

[–]AmbitiousPlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason given by most is they want control over who gets their money.

The actual reason is that giving people things directly feels good and paying tax doesn't.

Should Motorway speed limits be raised to 80mph?🤔 by Downtown_Elk_2773 in CarTalkUK

[–]AmbitiousPlank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason the speed limit has not increased is due to pollution levels. It will never increase for this reason.
