  Jaws permanently changed our dynamic with an entire species and the ocean in general, and with just two notes.

  Similarly, Final Destination 3 made everyone (or at least me) absolutely TERRIFIED of tanning booths

    Fun fact: a tanning bed is a true “final destination” machine that will get’cha in the long run #FuckCancer

      Yeah I was gonna say they’re actually up there with cigarettes apparently. Including being addictive, somehow.

    I reckon by FD4, companies were paying the directors not to feature their products haha

  Meh. This is the first ice heard of this in a very very long time.

  I’d argue The Matrix Trilogy, Monty Python abd the Quest for the Holy Grail, and the Lord if the Rings Trilogy have had far greater cultural impacts. They’re referenced quite a lot, especially The Matrix.

    Yea if we’re talking about biggest cultural impact I don’t think final destination is even in my top 50. It’s not even in my top 10 horror (IT, Psycho, Blair Witch Project, The Shining, Alien, Jaws, Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs, The Exorcist)

    I’d say LOTR is far more ingrained in society. The Matrix gets lots of references within our cohort, but Tolkien set the rules and visuals of a vast amount of fantasy and myth that we now assume to have always existed. I’d also throw in Star Wars above Matrix. But yes, I’d definitely agree any of these rank far higher than a morsel of paranoia that already existed on the road

  I guess you also just watched the Honest Trailers video.

  Never watched final destination, but I always give some distance for those lorry because i see what an exploding tire can do to you. Those thing is usually filled up to 100psi/120psi, not gonna be good if those hit you or your car. Not to mention the chance of a runaway tire is never 0, or they switching into your lane without noticing you’re there.

  It’s also the scariest thing to drive pass you if you’re cycling.

    Mythbusters covered tires from trucks - tire treads at highway speeds can go right through a windshield (and have killed people this way).

    I spend as little time behind/beside thm as possible.

  Staying closer to it would be safer probably. The logs need to overcome a lot of friction to go directly back. So they’ll never hit directly behind the truck. they just roll off the side

  source

  • Mustakrakish@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    A litlle road bump and them logs could be airborn, where no friction is applied.

    source

    • Kyrrrr@lemmynsfw.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Ok but air friction isn’t going to move that log either. It’ll continue to travel the same speed as the truck. Even if there was thick air, that bump would need to be large enough to lift an entire tree for there to be no friction from the other logs. If you’re driving on a highway with bumps large enough to launch you out of your seat, then maybe you should rethink driving all together

  The trailer alone made the whole world afraid of driving behind a log truck.

  Never seen the films or their trailers, but I keep a healthy distance to vehicles like that anyway.

  Logging trucks encounters drastically reduced when I moved from BC to Ontario 🙏

    Heavy wheelers in busy traffic should be treated like a major threat. Especially for bikers.

• tacosanonymous@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Wait. That was the second one?

  source

  • bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah. The first one was about surviving a flight accident. The second one about surviving this mass crash.
