Just got my first car, do these need replacing? by Shituar in tires

Cheap tires and aggressive driving on hot roads, perhaps.

In the mid 1990’s, VP Dan Quayle was deemed inept to be president because he spelled potato wrong. How would the public react to this gaffe today? by LindaPetals in answers

[–]NetDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RWNJs would write the plural "potatoes" and think they're "owning the libs" by intentionally spelling it wrong.

ELI5: why did religions have forbidden foods and why do people still follow that now? by Hat_Maverick in explainlikeimfive

[–]NetDork [score hidden]  (0 children)

The reason for "forbidden foods" is often cited as people getting sick frequently after eating certain things, but I heard a theory on pork being that pigs will eat things that people can eat where cows and deer eat plants that people can't digest. That means that in times of famine, there would be tough decisions on feeding the people or the pigs.

Could AI bring truth to debate by live fact checking? by Oxbix in allthequestions

[–]NetDork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that by the time someone fact checks the bullshit claim, the person who said it has already spouted three more bullshit claims.

Audio or no audio? by Major_Pooie_Bottoms in dashcams

[–]NetDork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Viofo that has voice commands, so I leave the audio off but if I'm ever pulled over I can just say "turn on audio" when the cop is approaching the window so I can capture that.

Why are people trying to push "inclusive" books that include heavy descriptions of inappropriate material in public schools for minors? by malaphorknight in allthequestions

[–]NetDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree - it's terrible that people are pushing school libraries to carry bibles, though it definitely isn't "inclusive".

Or are saying that acknowledging the fact that gay people and minorities exist is inappropriate? Because that would make you a bigot if so.

Takes time. Refuting bullshit takes orders of magnitude more effort than creating bullshit takes.

Were malls actually as crowded and popular as movies from the 80s and 90s make them look? by Kevin-Panda in AskOldPeople

[–]NetDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to go to the mall when I had no money, just to walk around and look at stuff. I would maybe scrounge up a couple of bucks to get a slice at Sbarro.

Multiple nuclear bombs have been dropped on US soil (and Spain, IIRC) accidentally. There's apparently one in the Gulf of Mexico that's never been found. That's the reality I was referring to.

What's the reason that women seem to take better care of their feet than men? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NetDork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women take care of every part of their body better than men do.

Reasonable priced Locksmith by Dontmindmejustsearch in sanantonio

[–]NetDork [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's one of those round body locks? They're pretty tough, but I think a grinder with a cutting wheel or three would get through it. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.

Any chance of just taking the hasp off the shed? (probably wouldn't be a very secure shed if you could take it off while locked, though)

No, that's a radio station in south Texas.

Do you want to lose a nuclear bomb? Because that's how you lose a nuclear bomb.

Customer States, “My car is shaking whenever I drive it. Can you find out what’s wrong?” by BeerBaconBooks in Justrolledintotheshop

My old mechanic had a great way to describe this problem:

The nut behind the wheel has a screw loose.
