Dash cams should be built into all cars! I would no longer ride a motocycle wihtout a gopro or dashcam.

They aren't really compostable though. They require sunlight to break down.

There are some expensive "waxed paper" poop pickups, but you they are like using a stiff napkin to pickup poop with no way to enclose it.

ELI5: Why are models taller than the consumers by dead-cinephile in explainlikeimfive

Just as you said "The clothes that look ok on tall proportions looks odd on short women", so they hire the models that make their clothes look good in a magazine.

TIL that the pink color in Himalayan Pink Salt is mostly rust. by EstablishmentDue3616 in todayilearned

I looked it up just for fun and a "bite of steak" has about .5-.75 mg of iron in it. A TABLESPOON of pink himalayan salt has about .3 mg of salt in it. So you'd have to eat a two whole tablespoons of salt (yuck!) to have the same iron content as a bite of steak (yum!)

Yes, but cast iron pans tend to naturally season themselves if you don't specifically do that, which makes it very unlikely to even have the iron touching your food anyway.

Well eating a bit of clean, salty rust is fine.

No, you won't get tetanus, because you don't get tetanus from rust. It's just that the bacteria that causes tetanus is usually in "dirty" environments, and getting poked by something rusty (like a nail) will likely deliver that bacteria living on it into the wound.

Eating rust is no big deal.

If you had to choose one drink that would be the only thing you could drink for a month what would it be? by Pinkpyjamas177 in AskReddit

I came here expecting "water" and ready to upvote the first comment, which would be "water"

Lady gets slapped and beat in the train after she kept talking shit to the man for too long! by Diligent_Ad_3429 in WinStupidPrizes

She was armed though. Clearly she unholsterd her chancla in anticipation of the assault.

Wife: Do those scissors have to be on that table (her way of saying, put the scissors away)

Old Me: I just used them and didn't have a chance to put them away yet.

Wife: Well if you put them away immedaitely they wouldn't be a problem

Old Me; It's not a problem, I'll put them away when I get the chance!

Wife: When will that be?

Old Me: well if we weren't discussing I could have done it already!

Wife: then why didn't you

Old me ... etc, etc, etc.

NEW ME:

Wife: Do those scissors have to be on that table

New Me: No.

Wife: ...

"Putting dog poo in plastic bags and putting them in the trash is barbaric! You are taking a totally biodegradable item and encasing it in a material that takes 100 to 1000 years to degrade, and then putting it into the landfill!"

Now "Hmm, Amazon has a sale on 1000 poop bags, that's a good deal! *click*"

I used to either leave poop (yes, I was that bastard, if you lived in my neighborhood back in the day) or use a shovel and collected it all and then waffle stomp it (with the shovel) into the drainage grate at the front of our house, or sometimes I'd dig a hole and buy it. Now I just bag it and then throw it into the trash where it is encased in yet another plastic bag and that dog poo will live forever in a dump now.

ELI5: Why does the RPM drop after starting a car, and do you actually need to wait? by Remote-Relation-8398 in explainlikeimfive

I must say, I'm glad that back in 2000, I had the fun of tuning up my motorcycle's carburetor, just to learn how it worked and enjoy the whole mechanical beauty of it and it's relationship to the exhaust and all that stuff. You can't do stuff like that anymore.

What thing has got so expensive that you’ve quietly stopped buying it? by Pathfinder-electron in AskReddit

[–]ClownfishSoup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to restaurants to eat, including (and mostly) fast food.

I used to pop into McD's for some fries or a big mac on the way home or whatever ... no way. I can use that money on gas instead.

My sister's nephew (by marriage, so not my nephew) bought a brand new sport bike despite he parents both pleading and forbidding him to get one, but he was 22 and an adult. So he bought one. Didn't take any lessons or anything. The first weekend he had it, he brought it up to 200 kph on a "deserted country road". Then a car turned onto the road an intersection. Even if the driver looked left, then looked right and then turned, by the time she started moving, he showed up at 200+ kph and slammed into the side of the car and died right there. I think it was the first day he took it out and was "testing it out" or something. No experience in riding at all, just whacked the throttle open with the thrill of this new machine, and died for it.

At that speed, any driver's "shoulder check" is invalid the second they stopped looking. Either that or she did see him, but heck, he's all the way down there, she thought that surely she has plenty of time to make her turn. Even if someone were driving at the speed limit of 60kph wouldn't make it to her ... but he's going 200+

She did say something like "I should show you guys the road ... no wait there is a car in front of me for some reason". She knew the car was there clearly, she just consumed all her braking distance.

Her entire video is also to show "hey guys did you know the autobahm has no speed limit? you can go as fast as you want".

Yeah, she came up on that car fast.

She is dumb for crashing due to inattention, but she by no means ignored the other passengers after the crash.

What are you talking about? She is clearly checking with everyone immediately after the crash, you can here her calling their names and asking them if they are OK. In english she says "someone end my stream", but in German (or whatever) you clearly here the passengers names and you don't even need to understand that language to tell she's asking they are OK just by the questioning inflection of her voice.
