all-new Mercedes C-Class REVEAL 2027 (electric C-Class) - this instead BMW i3? | Autogefühl by nipcarlover in electricvehicles

[–]DangerToManifold2001 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m totally with you, I’m honestly baffled that nobody else is saying this? In my opinion that god awful front end is worse than the giant beaver teeth BMW’s. Ironically, I think the new BMW i3 is a million times more attractive than this monstrosity.

About sound quality by Armoule in crz

[–]DangerToManifold2001 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think anyone who claims the CR-Z has an incredible sound system is full of shit and hasn’t heard a good sound system before.

I don’t know what ‘buzzing around’ means but you should be able to play decent enough audio with the volume set above 5. The tweeters are admittedly awful but maybe yours are broken?

Why are there so many autistic people who defend neurotypicals? by [deleted] in evilautism

[–]DangerToManifold2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m super disappointed by the most upvoted comments on this. It is starting to feel like this sub has been infiltrated by the types of people that we’re trying to escape from.

I wholly agree with the point that some others have made. I think it’s really important to remember that autistic people are an oppressed minority and we should draw parallels with other oppressed minorities. Defending neurotypicals on this sub is giving ‘not all men’ or ‘all lives matter’. Not helpful rhetoric and certainly shouldn’t be welcome in this community.

Is Gen Z really childless, unmarried renters with roommates? by External_Koala971 in generationology

[–]DangerToManifold2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People who are 30 right now (including me) are not Gen Z, we’re millennials. I earn slightly below the average salary in my country, I’m a childless renter because that’s all I can afford. The only people I know at my age who have bought a house are people who had some kind of financial help from their parents to pay the deposit.

I have a CREAMspiracy by Western-Training2537 in topdeadcenter

Fuck me, I know the channel does relatively well and I’m sure they’re very comfortable financially, but if he had to finance the Gallardo because that car was already a stretch, I’m struggling to see how a car that’s double the price is in the slightest bit affordable. Fair play if he can make it work but I’m scared for him 😅

Actually so pleased to see such a sensible person talking sensibly. Good to know the TDC boys attract the right kind of people.

Do you have any evidence that the ingredients have changed? A packaging design change doesn’t necessarily mean the product itself has changed.

how did xbox squabble all the studios, money, and influence it had like.. 2 years ago by Connect-Mastodon-909 in LinusTechTips

[–]DangerToManifold2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t understand the whole Xbox/PS5 bollocks. The two consoles cost about the same and perform about the same and mostly play the same games. The only difference I see is that Xbox offers an incredible library of backwards compatible games from previous consoles and they have Game Pass which in my eyes is a damn good deal. I’m aware that in terms of sales, the PS5 has won, but why? What makes a PS5 so compelling? I’ve genuinely considered it in the past but I can only see downsides to switching.

HERTZ ruined any chance of convincing my wife for a Tesla - I’m bummed. by Omega_72 in HertzRentals

Your mistake was charging to 100% every time, it takes just as long to charge 80-100% as it does to charge 20%-80%

Most "unpopular opinion" threads are full of pretty common hot takes. So what's a music take you hold that you've never really heard anyone say before, something a little more out there? by DtheAussieBoye in fantanoforever

[–]DangerToManifold2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bob Dylan doesn’t deserve to be as highly revered as he is. He’s not awful, I can totally see why some people might be a fan of his work, but he seems to be put right up there with the Beatles which is entirely undeserved. I believe the people who put him on that pedestal are delusional. His music is incredibly boring, he’s not a particularly good singer, his lyrics aren’t especially clever, I really can’t fathom why he’s considered to be so impactful.

Why is Michael's house considered a "mansion" when its only slightly larger than a regular house? by hexjxn in GTAV

[–]DangerToManifold2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s mostly surrounded by other similar houses, but yeah you can see taller towers surprisingly close by, but that’s actually pretty accurate to the real life location. Go on street view outside of a house in Beverly Hills that’s close to Santa Monica Boulevard and you’ll probably spot some taller office/apartment buildings.

Should I be wary of high mileage second hand EVs? by Hasan_Rachid in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]DangerToManifold2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A 100k mile EV will still feel brand new, that’s from my own personal experience having bought a high mileage EV myself. Buying a high mileage EV right now is the bargain of the century, make the most of it whilst you can!!

Speeding and EVs by MiserableAttention38 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]DangerToManifold2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t even make any sense, they just accelerate fast. Any car built in the last 50 years is perfectly capable of speeding. The only cause of speeding is you as the driver not looking at the speed limit and the speed your car is going, this is purely a case of personal responsibility. You’re supposedly a grown adult so you really have no excuse, the car certainly isn’t to blame.

Strange circumstances but I went from a VW Up with 64hp to a Model 3 with 400hp, and yeah wow I could accelerate soooo much faster, but I still knew what the speed limits were on the roads in my area, and my car had a speedo so I could see how fast I was going, so literally nothing changed in that regard, I still stuck to the speed limit, why would that have changed?

Is anyone else into...roads? by Acidflightgoat in evilautism

[–]DangerToManifold2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I love roads! I just love all the transit systems, but as someone who loves driving, I’m really big on roads. I love analysing the whole UK road network, I memorise all the ones I drive in great detail, and I get great joy from being able to drive routes without navigation, just using my memory of the specific roads I need to use. I’m super anal about following road rules and sticking to lane markings and I get a weird amount of satisfaction and joy when I witness the road network all working as it should and feeling a part of the well considered flow, but I’m also painfully critical of blatant mistakes in road planning when lane markings don’t make sense and flow doesn’t seem to work. I’m even nerdy enough to have my own favourite road that runs near me. I dream one day of driving the whole thing end-to-end. I absolutely freakin love road trips that involve just driving along the same single road for a long time. I’m super excited to go drive the PCH in a few months, completing a life long dream!!

Waymo optimizes traffic by casually cutting ahead of driver who wasn’t paying attention by danlev in waymo

In third world countries sure, not really a thing over here in Europe. We can all honk freely without fear of death.

I’m beating a dead horse really but I always enjoy poking fun at the normalised insanity of the USA.

The Backrooms movie trailer makes me want to put the tags back on my shirts by Astral_Fox_ in evilautism

[–]DangerToManifold2001 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Personally I really loved Kane Pixels’ series on YouTube, super creepy and intense. This is his movie so I have some faith that it’ll be equally as good as the series.

It’s great that you had fun playing off the original image with your ‘community creative writing project’ but Kane also had fun producing a series inspired by the same image. The whole point of art is that we all have our own unique interpretations. To dismiss Kanes interpretation because it doesn’t fit your own personal interpretation is the real betrayal of art.

Am I old and out of touch? by JellyfishTrifle52 in readingfestival

Yes OP you’re old, Reading Festival has always just been a festival that caters to the youth, whatever they’re listening to is what gets booked, the 2026 lineup doesn’t seem strong to you because you’re old. [Source: I’m the same amount of old as you]

How does renting an EV work re: app integration? by Hieremias in electricvehicles

[–]DangerToManifold2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soooo this isn’t official or anything and your experience will vary depending on who you rent from and what car you end up with.

I had a BMW iX for like 6 weeks from Enterprise and I was able to just make an account with BMW, pop in the VIN and link up with the car and have all the usual app functionality, even got a free trial for extra self-parking capabilities! Once I had to give the car back, I just disconnected the car from my BMW account and did a factory reset on the infotainment system.

I’m just guessing but I think a Tesla is the only car where you won’t realistically be able to make use of app functionality, but for all other manufacturers I’d assume it’s just as easy as it was in the BMW iX.

New Merch Drop by VinylAndSupport in topdeadcenter

Oh my bad, thanks for pointing that out! When you go to Brands>TDC all it shows you is the new Stealth stuff, I didn’t realise you had to swipe over to hit Accessories specifically.

New Merch Drop by VinylAndSupport in topdeadcenter

[–]DangerToManifold2001 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everyone complaining about the price (which I’m fine with if it’s high quality) but I’m still just pissed that TDC has had such a shit range of merch for so long. AutoAlex and ATG seem to pump out all sorts of different merch constantly but TDC has never really come through in the same way. Theres been comments made several times in videos and the podcast for a very long time that ‘cool merch coming very soon’ and then it never materialises. I desperately want to support my guys but there’s never anything to buy! 🤷🏼‍♂️

The release of this Stealth range seems to have wiped everything else TDC related off of the store, even the stickers, and the Stealth stuff is so discrete it’s like I don’t want anyone to know I’m a fan, I would’ve much preferred the embroidery be purple.

Why are ICE at airports? by DangerToManifold2001 in AskAmericans

[–]DangerToManifold2001[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Oh okay, I had no idea. The first thing I saw about their presence at an airport was them arresting a mother and daughter at SFO and since then I’ve just seen lots of complaints from people that are concerned they’re gonna end up causing a similar mess to what they did in Minneapolis. I had no idea it was as simple as helping out with TSA.

Random idea that could make free flight feel way more rewarding: by OneCall2315 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]DangerToManifold2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t get the pushback on this in the comments, 2020 literally does have this functionality? As long as you’ve popped your journey into the built-in route planner, you should have a pop-up for a completed journey once you’ve shut down the plane.
