  I’ve seen people get out of vehicles to try to take selfies with grizzly bear cubs. But yeah you get slapped once by either and you’re pretty much dead if you aren’t within 10 minutes to a hospital.

  Look at your bodies, women! An internal inguinal canal less likely to cause a hernia, lower center of gravity, higher body fat, and less body hair for easier cleanup. God created you for spending long hours in the coal mines!

  Let’s say you turn right to park in a spot but your turning radius sucks so you’re at an angle and your rear right is really close to the next car.

  Crank the wheel right as far as it’ll go and crawl forward a handful of inches so the front of your car is equally close to the car on the right and you’re parallel with that car but really close.

  Straighten your wheels, reverse out all parallel to that car until your front bumper clears that car, then crank the wheel left and crawl in reverse a handful of inches, until the rear of the car is aiming in the other direction.

  Straighten the wheel and crawl another couple of inches, until your rear axle is centered in the space, then put it in drive and pull right in now that the rear is centered

  I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

  That one’s real tho - higher res image here. Truck beds are mega flimsy up top aside from the stake pockets

  I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.

  And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.

  I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought “have I lost my mind” and had to go back in and return it right then and there

  Be me, postal worker. One of our machines uses a csv file to attach zip codes to bins. See fresh engineer decide to change one zip code in notepad really quick. See file’s formatting get wrecked. Spend next 6 hours watching all the mail spit out of the very last bin every time they think they finally fix it as if machine has irritable bowel syndrome. Engineer earns nickname ‘boy wonder’ first week on job

  I agree with you in the though that humans have been doing this stuff for the longest. We’re sophisticated algorithms that look at the work of other people, attempt to discern what has merit, and if the stars align we might write the screenplay to the Notebook, publish Twilight, or doodle Deadpool on a napkin.

  But the theft in my opinion is that a minority control this nascent tech, based on existing capital, and most of that ‘venture capital bro’ money funding this was made off of platforms that became wildly profitable for them from humans that were doing this. But now this is going to displace them and create no more need for them.

  There’ll come a day when Youtube and Tik Tok design their own ‘content creators’ and at that point they’ll start cutting ad revenue to the people that put them in this position in the first place. Betrayal. It’s like Spez calling mods entitled crybabies, once this is in full gear everyone who helped get it rolling will be cast aside like chaff and a couple dozen people will get billions of dollars out of it

  I tried last year but a month back I got bannes for ‘ban evasion’ after going on a 5000 mile roadtrip for a honeymoon and using the sketchiest of unsecured wifi APs.

  This time around I realized I can set the default sort in account settings to the top posts in the past 1 or 6 hours, def give that a shot, neverending stream of new posts, zero reason to wanna doomscroll reddit ever again
