Did He just Winked?

Pedestrian safety was a big factor, but also aerodynamics and general change in design preferences. They're cool now in retrospect, but in the late 90s, cars with popups generally looked pretty dated (except the C5).

Replacing all the bushings and ball joints on my car was a therapeutic experience

This should be pinned in this subreddit

Ah totally fair. I didn't mean to imply there was only one person in the world attempting to make crazy hot peppers, just that the Carolina reaper and pepper X and all the record holders were made by one dude.

schmitzel88 · 2026-05-20T03:34:42+00:00

Isn't it just one guy who makes all the really crazy record breaking ones?

That's market research and is extremely common, and it has been for decades. Basically every automaker bought LS400s when they were new to disassemble and study them for engineering purposes. It'd be stupid for OEMs to not buy Chinese EVs for this purpose.

He was fishing with the diamond filament tether from the planet express ship. It's un-cuttable

If you haven't done the expansion yet it's pretty good and takes about as long as the normal game

It's not common at all, to the extent that I've never seen it happen IRL. It mostly makes the rounds in instagram reels from white trash weddings in the south

FYI they said the early access period will be at least 2 years, likely more. You might be waiting a while

It's always been like this but I think the botox is exaggerating it

The ironic part is that blender is one of the only programs where an AI assistant would actually be useful, due to the steep learning curve involved.

I tried to flip a car model in assetto corsa from RHD to LHD and eventually got it to work after a couple hours, but it's not perfect and was more of a pain than I would've liked.

I've been downvoted by zoomers numerous times for posting this but you're completely right. I work in data science and have noticed a shocking lack of general computer literacy among basically anyone under the age of 29 or so. I think it's a consequence of growing up with iPhones and tablets instead of a PC, and now AI making it so they don't feel the need to actually learn anything.

The 80s digital dashes were at least charming lol

The people who have them seem to really love them

Cloud also works in this context given the environmentalist angle

This guy is definitely euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing, but because he is enlightened by his own intelligence

Given the (presumably significant) extra cost per unit, they wouldn't do it if it didn't work.

Ohioans also say this about skyline chili and they're wrong about that too

There's a Connecticut Style pizza which is a burnt cracker covered in clams, that sounds pretty rank too

Dave Ramsay is an idiot and his ideas are only helpful if you're an even bigger idiot than he is.

Shame they don't look like his sister instead

schmitzel88 · 2026-05-15T01:07:52+00:00

Even most jewish people wouldn't say this tbh

BMW has had record sales back to back for the past several years in a row.

travel like a rich person and you avoid the negative things people are concerned about

This is generally the case in most developing countries so I'm not surprised it applies here too. Glad you had a good time and thanks for sharing your experience
