      Ridiculous that we can have people pushing challenges that cause harm, telling you the earth is flat, that trump is god emperor, or that autism is easy to cure. Those garbage posts go crazy. But if you swear some algorithms lower your visibility and certain words get your posts hidden or banned.

      That’s fucked up.

        That’s why we should not crosspost from other filthy, corrupted, centralised, properitary and corporate controlled platforms. I wish cross-platform posts were banned in this comm. Or an alternative existed. But Alas…

        It’s an easy way to test your censorship algorithms. People swear all the time. It’s also a message to “think what you’re saying before posting” which is great because the best censorship is self censorship. By “great” I mean it’s essential for fascism. Control how people speak, it makes you control how they think, then you control how they act.

      It’s particularly infuriating when the censor doesn’t even inhibit the ability to read the word. Like, a child can still figure out what that says.

        Lot of people been asking me why my voice beeps all the f**king time. The Torgue shareholders wired my voicebox with a digital censor, so I can’t say stuff like S**t c**k p***y or f**kin-d**kballs. That’s like half my vocabulary, it’s goddamn bulls**t!!

    For the non car-folks in this thread :

    Normal tire pressure is about 30-40 PSI and a bad rupture can kill you or break your bones even at that pressure if you’re standing next to the tire.

    This person has just installed four bombs on their vehicle that will go off at the slightest inconvenience. A 90 PSI car tire is an imminent risk of death to the driver and everyone around them. Do not let your friends or family do this.

      It’s 110-120 for semi trucks. Just a note to not linger by their tires. Blowouts are statistically uncommon, but there’s a lot of trucks out there

        Had a coworker who was riding a motorcycle on the highway by a semi when the tire next to her blew out. She ended up dropping the bike and sliding along the road. Fortunately she was covered head to toe in protective gear, but it’s still amazing that she wasn’t seriously injured.

          I know someone who was in a car next to a semi when the tire blew. It instantly triggered the airbags, the force dented the passenger side door inwards and shattered the window. The car was a total financial loss.

        About fifteen years ago I was overtaking a truck on the motorway when one of its tyres exploded. Took out one of my side windows. The haulage company dealt with it well but I got the impression it wasn’t the first time they’d had to fix that specific issue.

          Yeah they happen with enough regularity that companies aren’t surprised, especially if they have a lot of trucks.

          So the smart move as a car-driver is not to linger by the tires ever. Really, just never linger by them.

            I just hate being near those things in general. Pass as quick as possible and create some space.

              People behind wondering why you’re allowing a couple carlengths gap “ahead” of the semi (but in your lane) as you prepare to swiftly pass it, try watching some YouTube silly!

          Rubber tires that size are a safety hazard and should not be permitted. Transportation vehicles should have metal wheels instead that can’t rupture. Of course, our current asphalt roads couldn’t support this kind of metal-wheeled vehicle, but if we put them on some sort of rail we could solve that problem.

          I had a retread blow out on my panel truck while peeing into a soft drink cup. Middle of the night in the middle of nowhere Indiana

        There are a lot of tragic stories of people that had the idea “I’ll slash the tires to this trucker to teach him a lesson” but instead they got a physics lesson

        I’ve been driving a truck for 8 years. Never had a tire blow out myself, but have seen it happen in front of me. It is easy to loose control of the wheel when that happens.

          Mine was a trailer tire on a triaxle. I still had 11 tires back there, so it was easy to find a safe spot to stop. I got lucky n that way.

    I believe you should actually use cold air. Or get it up as high as you can and then take it to the track.
