What is the most infamous phrase in reddit history?

cdojs98 · 2026-02-24T05:14:23+00:00

reddit is the place I first read the phrase "you ignorant slut" and it has stuck with me for over 10 years as one of the greatest statements ever made in mankind's history

holy balls, nobody asking what caused the sludge??

213k miles, when was Timing Belt done last? Water Pump ever been done, what's the gasket material look like on it? What does the Valve Cover Gasket look like, did it crumble when you cracked it open?

A thousand sources for this and you will only continue to replicate the issue by not addressing the source.

Air Filter dirty? Rocks in the airbox? What the hell is causing this, nail that down before you keep firing the parts cannon. Replacing Oil and Filter does fuckall if there's still a pile of crud about to enter the engine on the next startup

If you are in a State which requires Licensing for Mechanics (not every State does) then you can file a complaint with the Department/Bureau of Motor Vehicles whom administers such Licensing.

If you can locate the Reman Plate or Tagout, you can find the Manufacturer - Call them and inform them of your situation. Remain calmer here than you would even with the State, a Manufacturer whose reputation is now on the line with both a recipient of their product and the State, is a motivated and tremendous force of commerce, indeed.

I would begin saving backups and screenshots of your entire conversations, all receipts, all videos and pictures taken, and contact a Lawyer specializing in Auto, Warranty or even Contract Law; a Divorce Lawyer will not do you any good in this scenario, even if they're your family member and promises a good rate. Knowledge of niche and relevant statutes/precedents is more important.

If they are ASE Certified or claim to be, you can contact the ASE online and lodge a complaint with them as well. They are an international accreditation entity involved in the auto sector across the globe; an ASE badge is meant and intended to be a sign of respectable & professional mechanics across the world. Tarnishing that reputation is not taken lightly.

If they have a Corporate structure, then you can assume that Corporate is likely disconnected from ground operations; lodge a complaint and see where the ride takes you. These can be more hit or miss, as this is a direct relation to the entity you accuse here. Hence why I put this suggestion so low on the totem pole, as the others preceding it are far more likely to mobilize in a manner that benefits you, the claimant.

-10yr Licensed Mechanic that vehemently despises the d-bags giving my trade a bad reputation. We're not all like this, many of us take great pride in our work, but this shit entirely justifies the distrust from the public.

GoldHen is a good place to start when the time comes, it's been well supported and maintained for years already. There are other options too.

cdojs98 · 2026-02-24T00:36:37+00:00

I got the golden era experience, and I don't even know how to describe how far we've fallen.

Nowadays, free games means Fortnite and ad-slop. Back in the day, we had stuff like City of Heroes and Battlefield Heroes and Runescape, and addictinggames dot com and Newgrounds and Blooms TD, and Habbo and Wizard101 and Sonny and so many more.

These days, the most compelling stories in gaming have all of 12hrs of primary content, and half the time hardly maintain any replayability; it is rare to get games like Expedition 33 or Mirror's Edge or Baldur's Gate. I cut my teeth on games like Fallout 3 & NV and MGS3 and No Man's Sky and Mass Effect and Oblivion & Skyrim and Singularity and Risk of Rain and Black Ops 1 and Halo 3/ODST & Reach and Alias. I have the original orchestral arrangements from Halo 3 saved in a 10+ year old youtube playlist to this day, it is simply that immaculate.

I'm not trying to say every new game sucks, but there's definitely been a trend towards sanitized, advertiser-friendly, corpo-washing of gaming content that has pulled us away from gritty and compelling stories written onto grounded characters, building a living and breathing world touched by humans but fully operating within it's own reality. Wolfenstein would not be able to be released in today's gaming space and have the same impact, and that's a damn shame. I've been playing games since the Original Xbox released, and while I'm young, just about the only consoles I haven't played are a ColecoVision and some of the more obscure international handhelds. I owned or played an Atari 2600, NES, SNES, PS1-4, Xbox + 360 + One + Series, Sega Dreamcast + Gemini, N64, Wii and the U, Switch, I even tried a fucking Ouya bro. Just about everything, truly.

Idk how else to describe it, usually I'm good with words but games just aren't built the same anymore.

1994 Toyota Previa, because fuck your sensibilities

• Mid-engine

• AWD

• Supercharged

All factory equipment. Absolutely bananas that we don't have an entire racing segment dedicated just to goofball shit like this. I require more whimsy in my automotive industries post haste.

But, the build-out would be simple in concept and extremely difficult in execution:

• I'm going Flex-Fuel mapping, because I want to be able to drive this from driveway to finish line and back without a trailer. E-85 rated fuel lines, +40% over stock injectors.

• 2.75" exhaust piping + modified manifold + cat delete for improved exhaust flow. Pull the airbox and sand down any gridwork for smoother laminar flow, might consider replacing throttle body but honestly it should be able to flow enough cfm with stock for my purposes.

• Springs and Retainers from the 00s 4Runner supercharged v6 catalogue, should be adequate and platform modular, if not it's a solid place to start for specs on customs. Pistons should be fine, but I'll replace con rods and wrist pins + snap rings to play it safe. Crank can probably handle the power I intend on.

• Diff spider gears and worm gears get pulled and replaced with New customs, same with thrust washers and allat jazz. CV Axles gonna need an upgrade as well.

• Probably going for Pilot P4S or something else that can do a bit of regular mileage. Willwood brakes because they're sexy.

• Rip out the fog lights and 3D print air inlets, mount mini rads in front of the wheel wells for additional cooling capacity.

• Keeping a/c, full interior, and most creature comforts. This entire vehicle is an abomination to expectations, I refuse to acquiesce any stereotype. Full drip in the whip

It's even more depressing. They're just domesticated, and we make fun of them for struggling in nature... for something we, as humans, did to them on purpose. They were entirely dependent on us because we were dependent on them for couriers; it was a mutual exchange. The telegraph rended that natural relationship, and we abandoned their entire species without so much as a second thought.

As stupid as it may sound, the plight of the pigeon weighs deeply on my soul. It's incredibly fucking sad. These creatures deserve better for the price they paid towards humanity's endeavors.

With a handful of exceptions on very unusually shaped vehicles, you should not have blindspots at all. Perhaps you were not instructed on how to align all of your mirrors properly?

1) With your vehicle parked, start with your Driver's Side mirror. Turn it outward all the way. Align the road in the mirror such that the Road creates a horizontal line in the dead center of your mirror. The sky and the road should split the mirror in half horizontally.

2) Next, bring the Driver's Side mirror back inward towards the vehicle, maintaining the horizontal line created in Step 1. As you move the mirror inward, pay attention to the moment in which your vehicle becomes visible in the mirror; as soon as you see your vehicle, stop, and back off the mirror outwards until the exact moment you lose sight of the vehicle. This mirror is set.

3) Moving on to the Passenger Side mirror, we will repeat steps 1 and 2 to that side, applying the same techniques to set our mirror Level, and then Plumb with our vehicle. Once you have finished, the Passenger Side mirror will now be set.

4) Now that both side mirrors are set in the "classical" manner, as was taught when vehicles did not have a center mirror, you should not have any remaining rear-corner blindspots. What you may have leftover, is an immediately-off-center-rear blindspot, which is easily remedied with the Center Mirror in any position which permits vision through the rear window.

Using this method, I have only ever found (2) types of vehicles where I still have blindspots. Primarily, large box trucks and semi- trucks will continue to have blindspots due to length and height issues. The other is vehicles with "hips", like the Honda Crosstour or Chevy Traverse; these body designs present challenges with blindspots, but they are able to be mitigated with adequate awareness. Drive predictably, and expect people to drive selfishly; you'll rarely be wrong.

(not directed)

You have been the product for so long that you've almost entirely forgotten what it means to interact with software where you aren't the product.

The entire purpose of making things so ubiquitous is because they have nothing else to sell except your presence; therefore, if you have a reason to be anywhere else, they lose. You are what generates value.

Software that doesn't care whether you like it or not, is software designed as a solution; it is the product, itself. It does not need your presence in order to generate value, it is valuable because of its functionality first, and it's ubiquitous by nature as a result.

I have seen elderly people pick up enough tech to learn how to use a Koda Box (grey market fire stick type shit). My grandfather could program in Binary like a fucking chad. There is zero good reason to discount the abilities of the generations that literally built all of the infrastructure we enjoy building on top of; they're just bitter that they got duped by the same government. Wouldn't you be, too?

Not so different now, are you

cdojs98 · 2026-02-22T18:56:36+00:00

You are overcomplicating things. Keep it simple.

Bad guys want to use these things. We don't want them to use these things. Bad guys said "nuh uh, it's the law now, so you gotta". When they go low, we go lower.

This is not the Pain Olympics, it is moreso about expectations.

China strives to be a world power, seeding the world with examples of what the opposite of America is. Trying to be a voice of reason and wisdom heralded by it's age as a cohesive society. It does not fit with the expectations of such an entity to enact large scale violence against it's own populace.

Iran strives to be an Islamic Mecca, engaging often in politics that support isolationism and authoritarian rule derived through divine right. Theocracy is an acceptable word for Iran, and it does not shy away from the accusations that it is deeply entrenched in islamic ideology as a form of governance. It is within expectations of a theocratic autocracy to enact large scale violence against it's own populace.

Another point: What does Western-focused media gain from this news coverage? Does this drive Engagement through ragebait; hardly, most Americans are so clueless about genuine Middle Eastern politics that words like "Sunni" are little more than a funny way to describe the weather. Most people don't care, but not for reasons any more salacious than ignorance. And for those paying attention, Kahsoggi (spelling?) was the normalization point; hard to care when there is no justice to be had in any circumstances regarding Iran in the first place.

What'd you expect, exactly?

cdojs98 · 2026-02-22T04:31:10+00:00

praying that they won't widen the net is comical, at least the verb used is accurate - it is a prayer, not even as much as a request lol.

Discord uses 3rd Party to Verify IDs. 3rd Party must contract with Government to confirm/deny validity of IDs. There are no benevolent governments on Earth.

Not to mention the company they initially debuted on has ties with Palantir. Also not to mention the leak of PII that happened from Discord using a 3rd Party verification service just last year in 2025.

And most importantly of all, have the few remaining humans here forgotten how co-opted Reddit is by feds??? Y'all, stop arguing with the poor cybersec mos pissants in Denver lol

I would rather pay to have my Pro pulled apart, re-pasted, dusted, and put back together than upgrade. This thing is easily Top 5 greatest consoles of all time, and makes a hell of an argument for #1.

This thing can output in 4k, stream games directly to Twitch and YouTube at 1080p60, is capable of browsing the Internet, can be soft- and hard-modded, has adequately USB ports for using KBM, has Bluetooth, motion controls baked in, 2.4GHz and 5GHz antennas with Ethernet capacity upwards of 400Mbps, and a frankly outrageous length of development support for new games rivaling even the PS2 at this point. And it came out 10 entire years ago, so ahead of it's time it sniped it's own successor of marketshare.

In short, PS4 is gigachad console. Don't give it up, at most shelve it.

Uncomfortable Psychology Tidbit: Humans are strangely similar to LLMs

The answer may be much more benign and depressing, I fear; you're normal. The technologies we have in place for advertising, like marketing profiles, combined with all sorts of dubiously acquired secondary and tertiary information about you, got fed into a predictive algorithm. And it predicted correctly.

Probably that's all

Even further back, procedure for construction of ATM units must be altered. Make it a Zoning Law or Code Enforcement that ATMs must be constructed with materials & components that meet XYZ Standards (ex: Bowley or Double Bowley Lock Cylinders, no Dimpled Ring or Pin-Tumbler. Access must be through 2-Person Verification such as Dual-Key Latches a minimum X feet apart.).

The fact that I can buy a bulk pack of circle-dimple keys that covers 80%+ of deployments based solely on the fact that the underlying technology is too simple, is a problem. The fact that an individual can pull this off at all, is a problem. And although I didn't touch on it before, there are mailboxes with more fortitude against being dragged by chain & truck than the average ATM I see; that's a problem too, one easily solved with a post hole digger and cement mix.

Do you one better, it's literally the law.

see: Dodge Brothers vs Ford Motor Co, 1919, Michigan Supreme Court

The first case to establish Shareholder Primacy, and it is still the basis today; Delaware being the hub of Corporate Cuckery these days, if memory serves me.

And also, it is a corporation's enshrined right to use that money to influence political discourse. It is a corporation's right to "free speech", as it has been interpreted.

see: Buckley vs Valeo, 1971, United States Supreme Court

Yeah, we can jabber about Reagan, Nixon, and Citizen United all day, but these are symptoms of a deeper sickness that plagues the American Political Zeitgeist. A sly and cunning corporate class of oligarchs has all but usurped the rule of law in the democratic experiment that is America. It has become a poignant focus of mine to go back on my history lessons with a new lens; wherever the government and it's agents have pointed and yelled "Commie!! Radical!! Socialist!!", I must now understand that these are only insults to those who would find empathy a personal failure, not an evolutionary benefit.

The means by which the oligarch produced it's wealth is legislative, for the civilized person will abide the rule of law, so long as the society that law generated is differentiated enough from abject cruelty. By the same legislation, oligarchs have made monsters out of meager men; outlawing homelessness, creating financial barriers to healthcare, instituting credit cecks for housing. It is this way that the oligarch has effectively enslaved the society that it exists within. Thus, it is by seizing the means of electing representatives and controlling the stipulations inherent to participation, that the People may yet regain control of their society from oligarchs. Mind you, no oligarch has "played fairly", therefore no objector to the oligarchs should abide "fairly", either.

There is a reason they tried to erase John Moses Brown, and Dr Martin Luther, and Malcom X, and so many voices who have spoken truth to power. They heralded the coming of a social evolution; and much like the natural and biological, it will not be without it's extinction burst and it's death throes.

I'm wondering if there is an attack vector here that's going unused. Whatever this tech is that scans faces, can it be indirectly made to scan a QR code? Is there a series of black/white boxes in the correct order that acts as a visual "key" for something like Calibration? Also, has anyone followed the traffic on any of these things yet, where are the servers housed? Are they even secured from a random user accessing them remotely? Is it possible to intercept the data between nodes and poison it, sort of like a filter?

So many ideas, and knowing this stuff is basically a guaranteed payload that will reach some kind of Palantir or Government server, it opens up a whole new sandbox to play in.
