I have so many memories of my dad driving us up to the corner store, beer in hand, to put $5 in the tank and rent us Megaman 4.

Sad that the default of the current world is “can you drive?”
Mate, I can barely hold a conversation with people Ive worked with for 3+ years. How am I going to communicate via flashing lights to strangers, while driving a 1000kg hunk of metal at 50kph?
I think I can contribute to society. (I haven’t been fired yet. So I must be doing something right) but must I be cut out of social weekend events, or anything after 6pm, JUST because i cant drive?

Well there’s always Uber and public transportation but both of those can be inconvenient at times. Someday I will get better at driving to get my own car though

Yes,because dad cool, mom uncool.
Funny sexism from the 50s.
Wren@lemmy.today 19 hours ago
It goes deeper than that, too.
Pop culture painting dads as irresponsible parents comes from the idea that women are natural caregivers while men are just boys who work. It’s a cultural bias that still affects legislation and custody rulings, and why it’s a goddamn fight to get changing table in men’s public washrooms.
Funny drunk dad meme is just the scum on the surface of a shitty lake.
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 21 hours ago
Yes because dad criminal, mom not criminal
Sweet sexism.
::: NOT EVERTHING IS FUCKING SEXISM, THE MEME WAS ABOUT DRUNK DADS

Yes, it perpetuates the harmful stereotype that only men can have addiction issues. Gender stereotypes are harmful to all genders.

Unfuckable comment
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
That’s putting it a bit abrasively, but there’s a nugget of truth there.
An anecdote: I saw some (drug?) commercial where the wife orders pizza because the Dad’s a bumbling idiot for even attempting to use the kitchen. Everything about the way it was presented just screamed… ‘50s sexism’? That’s a good way to put it.

Original is still edited. Pretty sure someone put human eyes on him to make it more uncanny

No joke I took my driving test in a random minivan because my dad wrecked his car that I practiced in in a DUI
No wonder I don’t like driving lol

Thumbs up on the wheel, not around it. Again, due to airbags.

I’ve been forcing my thumbs up for years for nothing?!?! It looks like having your thumbs directly on the airbag is bad news but I was sure I’d have broken thumbs with my hands at 10 and 2.
wischi@programming.dev 19 hours ago
What? I’m pretty sure that’s complete BS and the thumb is probably the least of your problems when the airbags deploy
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 23 hours ago
*9 and 3.
Triumph@fedia.io 23 hours ago
Came here to say that whoever wrote this is old, like me.
The switch from 10/2 to 9/3 is because of airbags. If you’re doing it the old way, you’re more likely to have the airbag catch your hand and whack you right in the face with it.
zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
10 and 2 was always stupid. When I was young I got an opportunity to go to a racing school and that was one of the first things they talked about. If you mime driving a car, do you put your hands at 10 and 2? No, you’ll probably do 9 and 3. Better control, less going hand over hand.
Also you should push the steering wheel with your outside hand, not pull it. Smoother input.

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 22 hours ago
It’s mainly for better control of the vehicle. At 9 and 3, you can pull the steering wheel straight down to turn.
Siethron@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
I thought the risk was degloving.
tatterdemalion@programming.dev 18 hours ago
My driving instructor said the airbag could rip the skin off your arms lol
iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
*7 and 5
Less arm fatigue and safer with air bags.
snooggums@piefed.world 22 hours ago
With better control the airbags won't go off.
9:30 and 2:30 is optimal and hands are to the side for an accident.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 22 hours ago
No it’s not.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 17 hours ago
Til they updated the standard.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 17 hours ago
That is the updated standard.
Lycist@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
Thought they were teaching 7 and 4 now? Due to airbags I’d heard.
flandish@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
just go with 0 and 0 with a knee on the wheel.
MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 21 hours ago
7 and 4 isn’t even centered
joyjoy@lemmy.zip 23 hours ago
You also need to keep in mind thumb placement. If you have a vice grip on the steering wheel with your thumb and forefinger wrapping the wheel, you’ll get your thumbs ripped off/sprained in a crash.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 22 hours ago
No.
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 19 hours ago
Sounds annoying to drive with your hands to the side
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 19 hours ago
No, it is the proper way to drive. That is why the signals are at the side, so you can operate them without moving your hands.
