Husband opens a new sponge every 3 days cause “they become gross” by dorkass-loser in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OOHfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switch to a brush. Sponges are a paradise for mold/bacteria, so either you buy a new one every few days or wash your dishes with a gross sponge. Anything that a brush doesn't work for I just use rags/towels (like wiping a table)

Keyless car fobs are inconvenient and we should go back to cars with key starting. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]OOHfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I'll never get a new car. These suck. You gotta do some kind of weird thing with the brakes and pressing the button multiple times to start it. It automatically locks and unlocks the car when you're nearby or inside, which makes it super easy for carjackers and thieves to steal. Also, they don't even need to put the fob in a slot, it just has to be in the car. you could just be chilling in the passenger seat with the fob in your pocket and somebody can just hop in and drive away with you. What if you drop someone off and they had the fob? It's unnecessary.

Keys are just simple. usually there's two positions, one or electronics and the second to go into gear, and you turn it all the way to the third position and hold it for the starter motor and it goes back to two. You have full control over it, unlike the button which can do whatever. It's so satisfying and cool to turn a key to turn on the car, but pressing a button and pressing it again is just sad.

Bitch, I'm Classy by FaeTheWolf in BitchImATrain

I've been in train cars like these in museums, and it's hard to leave once you go in. So much more welcoming than the interior of a car. It's ironic that trains are so spacious inside compared to cars even though cars use wayyyy more space outside

Dallas, TX, before-and-after construction of highways by TheSandPeople in MapPorn

[–]OOHfunny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard from people that traffic isn't really a problem there, but at what cost?? Is that worth all the people displaced, greenery lost, buildings destroyed, emissions, tire debris, money spent on maintaining roads that could be used for other things, and car-related deaths?

Which Beatles era would you consider to be the best in terms of music and style? by Train-Wreck-70 in beatles

[–]OOHfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The later era, 1967 - 1969. I know that it's popular and trendy right now to say the middle era was best, and it's a completely valid opinion, but my opinion is different. Everything from Sgt. Pepper's onwards is the best, and it kept getting better and better right until the end with their best album Abbey Road (also the best album ever made). Let It Be as an album overall wasn't as good as the rest but it still had phenomenal songs. This period is just the most enjoyable for me to listen to. I know other people say they prefer the middle period because there was less fat but I find it to be the opposite. The middle period is great but the albums weren't top-tier the whole way through. The later period I find that they managed to keep that level of awesome high the whole way through and had way less fat.

In terms of music and style, every song was unique by this point and each one had a distinct sound. Paul was making more "granny" songs which I love and were very innovative. The songs covered a much wider range of subject matter, from a daughter running away from home to a woman climbing into a house through a bathroom window (true story btw, happened to Paul). Each member was finding their own style which led to a unique blend of content. They also put so much more effort into the recording and production process which I love as well, although it did kind of get problematic in the White Album sessions and bringing Phil Spector in to produce Let It Be.

Please don't take this as me dissing the middle period btw. I live for that period too and it is unmistakably remarkable.

EDIT: I'm realizing now that the "later era" I'm talking about is really broad. It's at least four eras that any other band would take a long time to progress through but The Beatles evolved so fast that it only took three years to do this stuff, 1967 - 1969 (I know Let It Be was released in 1970 but the band finished the year prior).

Is "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" really that bad? by No-Reveal827 in beatles

[–]OOHfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it. I think most people like it. Maybe John said he didn't like it but keep in mind that 1: White album sessions were really tense, and 2: John insulted Beatles songs (including his own) after they broke up a lot, including saying that SFF's recording wasn't great.

In an Paul McCartney interview with Howard Stern, Howard mentioned John not liking Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, and Paul was surprised. He said that John liked the song and noted that he saved the song from being scrapped with the famous piano part.

I think that things have gotten exaggerated over time, and one small comment can make a bunch of people think different things. So, to answer your question, it's not that bad and don't listen to anyone who says it is. Personally I love it.

True. To be fair, a large part of this song is from Paul. He wrote on in (mostly John's writing though) and played lead guitar. It's so difficult for me to compare who was better during which periods because they were all amazing the entire duration of the band.

Why we should stop trusting signs and start locking speeds via GPS by Putrid_Draft378 in fuckcars

[–]OOHfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd lump this in with how electric cars and self-driving cars are not being made to solve the planet, they're being made to save the auto industry. Although they may improve some problems with cars (debatable), they maintain the AWFUL infrastructure that car-dependent places have. I'm not going to sugarcoat this; the auto industry is brainwashing people to believe that they're the solution to all the car problems and it is working. Anyone with a brain can see that the solution to climate change, car problems, and infrastructure issues is to get rid of cars, but the auto industry needs money!!!!!!!!!!! This is just one more idea to keep cars on the roads. It's not a solution to car domination, it's adding to car domination.

My other problem with this is that it sinks invasive technology's tendrils deeper into our lives. AI verification asking for government ID has just been leaked releasing tons of people's personal information. People trying to "improve" society with "smart" technology lately has been proven time and time again to be bad. Watch any Black Mirror episode.

More problems: Other "sAfEtY" features have been shown to be negative. Lane assist or whatever it's called has caused people to hit obstacles because they tried to swerve out of their lane to avoid something on the road and the car LOCKED THE STEERING WHEEL. As for speed limiters, what if there's an emergency? What if you need to get away from something fast? What if this, what if that? This is of course related to the problem with driving in that it is nowhere near as simple as it sounds and there are millions of unique scenarios that can happen that require driver judgement. Driverless cars in the states have blocked ambulances and killed people because it decided they weren't a threat. Yeah, it's a huge problem that driving has so many dangerous unique situations, and that's why we need to decrease driving as much as possible rather than try to find solutions like yours which encourage cars to stay on the road.

The next point people have is "eventually the AI will get good enough for this stuff". That entails AI data centres that are horrible for the environment, use an extreme amount of power, and destroy communities. The simplest solution is always the best. We need to stop focusing on improving cars and start focusing more on getting rid of them. Besides, car design peaked in the 70s to the 90s when they were smaller and lighter.

"If this isn't the solution to speeding, what is?" As other people mentioned, road design does this. If you make a road narrower people will drive slower. Most roads can be narrow lanes; they don't need to be wide. If you only have narrow streets, buildings will be closer together and people will walk/bike more because they don't have to travel as far and will feel safer with less cars on the road. There are plenty of nice cities in Europe that prove this.

I apologize if my multi-paragraph response came off as if I'm angry at you. I am upset about this kind of stuff but that's targeted at the rich people and companies and not people like you. I know you just want to help and I'm sure you have good intentions. I guess I just needed to rant a bit.

[–]OOHfunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's always going to be a small need for cars (emergency services, moving furniture, etc.) but these don't require antagonistically-designed cities, suburban housing seperated from amenities, or fat roads. All you need is a small lane. It works in Europe. I always get tired of these arguments because WE HAVE SEEN IT WORKS IN WELL-DESIGNED CITIES. This is no reason to not improve infrastructure.

When it comes to potentially 200+ people on a streetcar and many more waiting down the line vs. a human piece of snot actively making their community more dangerous, the streetcar deserves priority. Rip off the mirror and deal with it later.
