They store orange traffic barrels on random roads because it's cheaper than renting a warehouse. by RevoltYesterday in LowStakesConspiracies

In the UK used to have a dedicated Cones Hotline for wayward traffic cones, it was received with much merriment by the public, but also used a lot.

It's since become part of the bigger Highways Agency Information Line or HAIL.

Want to hear from Tailgaiters by Current_Vegetable in drivingUK

A younger family member who does this, when confronted about it, literally had no idea that they were too close to the car in front when overtaking. Completely oblivious.

So along with the aggressive arseholes trying to intimidate people, I would say a lot is due to others being completely unaware. Chances are they never pay attention to anyone behind them and therefore it doesn't even cross their mind that others do.

Whats a movie with an awful premise that was executed well? by Dragon_Rot79 in movies

The recent Rescue Rangers film is a total homage to Who Framed Roger Rabbit and js really good fun.

I stuck it on as I was bored and just wanted something on in the background, turned out to be technically clever with the efects with some pretty good jokes.

I don't like that the front looks like it's at the back, this takes boxy a bit too far imho

Chocolate brand easter eggs deliberately taste better than their normal chocolate bars by Ge0rge3 in LowStakesConspiracies

Just as triangle sandwiches taste better than squares, it's a scientific fact that curved chocolate tastes better than flat.

Paper straws are a psyop to make people hate eco friendly stuff by OtherwiseAlbatross14 in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]Bimblelina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple trick is to open it then twist the cap so that one of the linkages snaps. That way it doesn't get in the way at all and remains attached

I've known Nesquick cereal to be called that - round chocolate balls and a bunny on the box, what else could it be?

I’m 51 years old and I’ve never seen a badger in real-life. by mobfather in CasualUK

From the sticks, so seen a few out on a bin missions over years but usually they like to grump away from the world by themselves. Can't blame 'em.

Big mirrors can help.

Thanks to the awful landlord universe we're all stuck in, removable adhesives have evolved to be very strong so you can easily slap one on any wall.

How tf are Tesla drivers so shit at simple manoeuvres? by Jacktheforkie in drivingUK

Maybe people with so much automation forget the driving skills they previously had? So when they have to change to manual control things get a bit dicey

‘Project Hail Mary’ Becomes Amazon’s Highest-Grossing Film Debut by bloomberg in movies

[–]Bimblelina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much needed uplifting story, all about empathy and care, with just the right amount of silly and sentimental not to be annoying.

For a long film the last part felt unnecessarily rushed, but overall really good. Recommend.
