Oh hey Jesus, mind taking the wheel bud? Thanks!
Wash your window, dumbass.
How would that help? his eyes are closed. Didn’t you read it?
Ohh nah, I was reminding myself to wash my window.
Why… why did that arm need to be digitally (ha!) added to the otherwise perfectly fine clip?
Because he points to the left and thy wanted to point to the comment above
Thy doth pointeth
Geeeez, just rotate the image π/2 radians then.
Oh. My bad, it never even cross my mind. So it’s basically the gif equivalent of “This.”?
Take a photo of your filthy windshield in the sun so you have something to post as engage-bait when you get home…
Or don’t ever outside and just repost other people’s engage-bait…
Either way.
you can show up to work before sunrise and leave after sunset.
signed,
your boss
Easy enough in the winter. This pic is my commute both ways in autumn though.
Your own fault for living west of your workplace.
easily done with 10am sunrise and 2pm sunset
Lmao, folk really be driving in light mode.
this is so a pre-2010s problem
the new problem is LED headlights. I nearly hit somebody last week because I went when the light turned green and somebody was walking across the intersection on the other side, but completely invisible until the last second because of some asshole on the other side with LED headlights
bUt ThEyRe StOcK aNd AiMeD pRoPeRlY
But I need to outshine the quasar at the center of the galaxy to see where I’m going!
and at night, when you realise their high beams were off the whole time… the hard way
most of the time when I get flashed back, it doesn’t even matter. their high beams aren’t any brighter than the low beams, they’re just aimed higher, and since their lowbeams are already aimed above my head, it doesn’t make a difference when they turn their high beams on to light up the tree tops
it still is pretty funny when you can tell that they’ve turned their high beams on by a tiny bit more light up above, but it has no effect on you. It’s a pretty clear indication that their low beams are too bright
I seriously hope OP has stopped to take that pic and didn’t just pull out the phone while driving to do this.
Looks like some sort of red light is off to the side, so probably stopped?
That’s a truck tail light…
Oh, true. Doubly hopefully stopped if they’re that close to the vehicle in front of them.
Do you think being stopped means it’s safe to use your phone behind the wheel?
How are you supposed to make an evasive maneuver if the car behind you can’t stop? Or if someone starts crossing the road and is now laying on the road from falling?
Hope you aren’t using a phone to send this. Who knows what could happen during that time. Maybe someone puts the big red launch nukes button under your foot and you start nuclear winter when you go to stand up.
That’s obviously something that’s impossible to happen.
If you think that neither of those are possible, or countless others… you’re a hazard on the road. There is absolutely no reason to use your phone while stopped, anything can happen, and you won’t notice while you’re sending that text.
The life of you or someone else isn’t more important than whatever is on your phone.
You seem to think getting rear ended while stopped at a light is an impossibility… that’s clearly not true and there’s plenty of statistics to support this is entirely possible and does happen. Now, you can also avoid the collision if you’re paying attention and have space. But obviously that can’t happen if you’re too preoccupied with your phone, instead of the road. Like you’re supposed to. At all times.
How are you supposed to make an evasive manoeuvre at all when standing still?
Move your foot from the brake to the gas and steer out of the way…? Same way you would move for emergency vehicles. Which is another reason to pay attention to the road.
How is this even a question lmfao.
You’re not quickly getting your car out of the way of someone else if you’re fully stopped. Most of them don’t accelerate nearly fast enough for that. Besides, pretty sure I would just stall the car if I tried evading someone quickly while probably slightly panicked.
You don’t do an evasive manoeuvre for emergency vehicles. You should hear and see them coming from quite a distance. You just scoot over in a regular way.
You’re still driving a car while stopped mate. This is the reasoning that leads to people drinking while they are stopped. They aren’t technically driving… but it’s obviously not safe and shouldn’t be done.
Yet people condone it? Fucking hell.
🤨 can’t tell if serious
You could get hit by a meteorite while not driving, so you must always have full attention at steering wheel
I only do it with 3 or 4 bars of signal. I wouldn’t want my livestream to cut out during such a high intensity moment.
clean your windshield that shit is dirty as fuuck
This comment section is either too autistic or not autistic enough, because they’re either unable to identify the joke in the post, or I’m unable to identify their level 7 advanced satire.
I think with Lemmy it’s almost always the former
4D Checkers
We identify the joke, it’s just not very funny
Nothing says “I can tell this is a joke, but it’s not funny” like telling OP that they’re acting dangerously as though they’re actually doing this, and giving them actual advice as though they asked for any.
/sJoke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.
Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.
advice dumb. People […] give better advice.
Not my comment flying straight over your head. That reply typifies what I’m talking about.
What advice do you think the joke was giving? Why would you think a joke is providing actual advice? Why would you think that actual advice is a useful response to a joke?
Even if it wasn’t funny, if you recognize it as a joke, none of the behavior makes sense. This smells strongly of lying to save face.Once again, I can’t tell if you’re too autistic to understand a joke, or I’m too autistic to understand your advanced satire.
You should change your username to PermanentlyPedantic
Can’t answer my questions, then huh?
Do you have any theories on why you resorted to ad hominem instead?
Well I for one don’t get the joke. What’s the joke?
It’s just a “Jesus take the wheel” joke.
The humor is in the absurdity itself.Thanks for the pointer. I had to look it up. That song never entered my (British) consciousness and I guess that’s not a thing in the UK.
Okay well maybe you should count me in with the autistics because what I see in that post is a filthy windshield and driver can’t see the road with the sun in their eyes and he’s also taking a picture while driving. Major threat to road safety.
It’s just a silly “Jesus take the wheel” joke
This is lemmy. The only way in ze real life we could deal with jokes is by pretending to not get them, and now it’s even taking over our online lives! AAAAAAAH!
Can’t stand these super bright headlights, like everyone has high beams on constantly.
High beams are worse because they direct the light up and out. And assholes think they can get away with it because they don’t have “the bright” lights.
tbh I’d rather drive by a 2010 car with high beams on than a 2020 car with lowbeam LEDs
and have done many times, it’s hilarious to be able to see better when a 2008 Corolla is coming towards me with high beams on that are perfectly adequate for lighting up the highway at speed, and a 2020 Corolla goes by after it and I can’t see the fucking road at all or anything around it or even where the 2020 car exactly is
That’s the sun >.>
yeah well someone should do something about this “sun”
It seems like the sun is being reflected off the bus’s window.
Would polarising glasses help?No, it’s the actual direct fucking Sun ffs
Kill it!
Oh right.
Had to look at it a bit longer to realise.
The rear light on that vehicle looked kinda like that of a bus though.
yeah and it drives like an asshole
What it’s like to ride a motorcycle at sunrise:
Not drive. If you can’t see you are supposed to not drive.
\*slams brakes in the middle of the road*
NO EXCEPTIONS
You’d kill less people that way
I’m not sure the people driving behind me would agree
They’d live to disagree. The people you kill by driving blind wouldn’t. That survivorship biase
They’ll survive. Their cars might not…
Nobody will die , so I’m not sure what you’re saying.
Rear-ending someone at highway speed is pretty fucking dangerous to everyone involved
should’ve had following distance.
I can’t control the car behind me and I definitely don’t want them slamming into me
Indeed. However, it won’t do you much good if you’re being blinded by the light and can’t see.
Is this the only argument?
Because while that’s dangerous, modern safety standards in vehicles mean the probability of mortality in these situations is substantially reduced.
My point is that people won’t die, not that it’s a good thing to do.
People die from being rear-ended or rear-ending someone all the time though
Irs actually not dangerous in the same way driving blind is. I doubt you care about crumple Zones.
In one situation you drive blindly into an accident… the other “well rear ending can sometimes be bad!!!”
It never is. The you’re wrong, crazy, and also stupid.
You’re entire argument is “driving blindly is safer than stopping blindly” it’s dumb. It’s a dumb argument. When is going ever safer than stopping lol? You are dumb.
You do realize that if you are driving blind on a highway you would probably rear-end someone, same thing you would do by slamming on the breaks lol
you put on the hazard lights and slow down while steering to the side of the road to assess the situation or until you can see again.
like holy shit why would you even consider accelerating when you can’t see where you’re going
I think it’s a joke
I trust Jesus will keep me safe.
Like holy shit why would you see this and thick that OP is really doing this for real?
It’s a funny joke image with silly joke text, it ain’t that serious
Except that it’s not funny. :p
Jesus take the wheel jokes are always funny
