This is exactly why I don’t put shit on my car. That plus it’s incredibly lame.
I’ll appreciate a funny one on someone else’s car though. And I also appreciate when someone puts a sticker on clearly showing they’re not worth even talking to, like political stickers or racist right wing extremist cult nonsense.
Punisher sticker- yeah we’re not going to get along at all.
I don’t put stickers on my cars typically. But man is this paranoid to the extreme. Unless you’re driving an expensive car it’s unlikely it would make you a target for anything other than road rage.
I mean, my spouse has received death threats because of her line of work. We have 2 small children and we make sure they have no online presence at all (no pictures, comments, tags, etc), and we intentionally make sure to not have anything identifiable like this on our car. Our other family members have been included in threats before. If someone, for any reason, is targeting you, youre actually giving them a ton of information. Its easier to just not put it on your car and not risk it
Yeah there’s personal tunnel vision for you. I’m lucky that my line of work is not the type that would enrage someone to violence so that didn’t occur to me. I’m going to assume your wife is helping people in a way that crazies don’t like. Please don’t shatter the illusion if it’s because her work hurts people.
I wonder what my Trogdor the Burninator sticker is secretly telling people about me.
It tells me you can type with boxing gloves on your hands.
LOL - Oh no! My privacy has been breached!!! Destroy the compy!
That you’re 34yo (or close.)
Not even close. Well, I mean, it’s close like within 100 years!
That you have some Jumbles and cow lamps just waiting to be capered.
Better watch out for Biscuit-dough-hands Man.
That you’ve time traveled from 2002 to save us
Sorry I’m doing such a shitty job of it. I’ll try to step up my game tomorrow. I should have brought Strongmad with me. He’d get the job done.
This seems paranoid to a silly degree
Thieves are opportunists. Not criminal masterminds. No one is doing car sticker recon.
Any bumper sticker threatening gun violence to thieves merely informs them fhat you own the only thing that gets more valuable when stolen
What if I have a car covered in weeb shit
“Good target for romance scam.”
Nobody’s breaking in because they know the smell will be overpowering
I’ll have you know I shower occasionally
It tells everyone you deserve to be run over.
Username checks out?
Shit like this is why nobody cares about privacy any more.
Bunch of security media post stupid article about how stickers are leaking into and people just add it to the collection of dumb privacy shit they are told and don’t give a fuck about.
It’s made up of fantasy shit that doesn’t occur in the real world.
To be fair, that’s like almost all police propaganda.
What about thin blue line or I support police stickers huh
That says: I support racist policing tactics, and might have guns, food buckets, testosterone creams, and dick pills at my house to steal.
I have a bunch of Hyena Agenda and Nomad Complex stickers on my car.
All it says is “I am a furry.”
I have a big sticker that says “honk if you’re a silly goose” and another that says “eat the rich”
so… what does that say about me? :p
Potential terrorist. Keep under surveilance.
Dont post pictures of text without transcriptions
While mostly rich people problems, privacy is not the opposite of expression.
This family has a LOT of activities. And is middle class, but ranking enough to have free time and money to buy stuff, possibly due to the oilfield worker.
Their neighborhood has family rivalries but is knit enough to have community barbecues. My daughter has best friends and ballet partners in the community, so at least we know our neighbors as fellow parents.
Oh and if you fuck with us, we have high-powered rifles and know how to track a bitch. We also have friends with a similar set of skills.
Lol neighborhood… community… rofl
Generic car at shopping centre: “that looks like my mates car, but I dont know for sure” Generic car + personalised plate/stickers: “oh look, mates here too”
Why I personally dont like personalising my car. Just announcing everyone your commute habbits.
What does it about men when I’m driving a windowless van that has a sticker that’s say “Free Candy”?
I’ve never noticed stickers under the numberplate, I guess they’re not as popular where I live. Most stickers I see on cars are on the windows. The few cars I’ve seen with stickers on the body of the car itself were owned by teens and more often than not looking like a piece of worthless junk on wheels. It might be a cultural thing, I take OP’s image relates mostly to America.
Seems a little paranoid honestly
It says you’re an asshole because you own a car.
!fuckcars@lemmy.world
Doesn’t it just imply you think your car is a trapper keeper?
Oooh…I need sparkly unicorn and Pegasus stickers now!
So if I’m understanding correctly, once I get rich from winning the lottery, I should build myself a sleeper with a “Hideous and Horny Commune” bumper sticker on the back.
Yes. This is why people put stickers.
Mine would say what a weird nerd I am if anyone understood the references
Mine just say “this is a safe space for emotional breakdowns”
The only sticker(s) 8 would want to put on my personal vehicle are maybe some colored letters (I have a Santa Cruz, so it has “SANTA CRUZ” indented into the tailgate) to fill in those, and a little orange speech bubble that says “MINE!” as a reference to the Orange Lantern Corps from DC Comics.
Why would anyone care that you take lots of trips and vacations? Does it let you show off that you have a fulfilling life?

There is a car where i work that has 5 ish different bad dragon head stickers with no mention of the brand name. No one can call them out without admitting they know what the logo is, and they keep adding more. They are my hero.

We were talking about power tools at work and I said I’m happy with my Hitachi corded drill. I was disappointed no one even blinked.

Yeah, my other ride is a broom and similar stickers also imply if you cross my path you better be firm in your beliefs curses don’t work, because mine will find your immortal soul and drag it, screaming and writhing into the very heart of Hell.
Also my coven depends on me for the sticky-icky and some amazing baked goods. And they don’t want me sad.
I might be reading a lot into it.
