If only there were some device built into all cars to block out the sun and clean your windshield while driving!
Clean your windshield (correctly) and get some polarized sunglasses
But first he should surrender his driver’s license after revealing he’s a careless threat to his road safety & others’.
Or! And hear me out, here. A wile E. Coyote style painted brick wall.
Just perform a safety squint.
Can’t stand these super bright headlights, like everyone has high beams on constantly.
High beams are worse because they direct the light up and out. And assholes think they can get away with it because they don’t have “the bright” lights.
That’s the sun >.>
yeah well someone should do something about this “sun”
yeah and it drives like an asshole
It seems like the sun is being reflected off the bus’s window.
Would polarising glasses help?No, it’s the actual direct fucking Sun ffs
Kill it!
Oh right.
Had to look at it a bit longer to realise.
The rear light on that vehicle looked kinda like that of a bus though.
* but also, have a baseball-cap in the car.
Love to see Limmy on Lemmy!
What is your name traveller… 😆
I would love to see Limmy on Lemmy. He’d fit right in here.
Not drive. If you can’t see you are supposed to not drive.
Clean your windshield, inside and out, and polarized sunglasses, or sunglass clips for glasses. And make sure any level of astigmatism you may have is known and corrected for.
If after washing your windshield, it still scatters the incoming light too much, it is probably pitted. You may have to consider replacing it. It is part of maintaining a vehicle. It may suck to be surprised with an expense like that, but the surprise expense of an avoidable accident is much worse. And might not only be expensive.
Every so often I have moments like this where I encounter actual adults out in the wild and am reminded that I am just masquerading, and poorly.
I recently found a new shower cleaner that actually works for the first time, and it cleaned the heavy deposits from my weird local water on my tub in less than five minutes, which normally takes me half and hour or more of scrubbing.
I felt like a superior adult, started sharing the news with all of my fellow grown up children. Maybe some day I’ll identify a funny noise in my car as well and earn my real adult degree.
For those of us adulting along at home, could you tell us the name of the product you used for the shower?
Made by a company called EcoLab, legitimately made me happy for days every time I saw my tub and remembered it was actually clean.
Oh yeah, EcoLab is used in pretty much every restaurant I’ve ever seen the back of. Good shit.
Thank you for this!! I’ll be picking some up this weekend.
I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.
I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.
If you’ve ever watched or read anything with that “wise old hermit” that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can’t function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.
Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.
Important to note:
LLMs absolutely do not use logic.
Hehe, I just meant the collecting and redistributing knowledge part. Though yes, it also doesn’t qualify as knowledge, just a string of words that seems like it fits the occasion. Though… not to sell myself short, but not super far off.
[off topic]
You might enjoy this graphic novel. A post man with Asperger’s serves a town whose entire population is hiding from the law.
He’s your ‘wise hermit.’
The next time someone calls me a know-it-all I shall inform them that I am actually just an LLM made of meat.
Well as someone who has crewed on race cars and had a hand in building more than a few, not a single word of what you said was wrong.
As an incredibly forgetful neurotypical person with a partner who is on the spectrum, I cannot say how much I appreciate her and you.
As an incredibly forgetful neurotypical person
We all learn from each other bro. You’re doing great, just for the fact you can recognize good advice. We are all imposters. Keep plugging.
No no no just because we know the grown up thing to do doesnt mean it happens. It means we grumble about “getting around to it” and dont.
An actual adult in the room.
This comment section is either too autistic or not autistic enough, because they’re either unable to identify the joke in the post, or I’m unable to identify their level 7 advanced satire.
We identify the joke, it’s just not very funny
Nothing says “I can tell this is a joke, but it’s not funny” like telling OP that they’re acting dangerously as though they’re actually doing this, and giving them actual advice as though they asked for any.
/sJoke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.
Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.
advice dumb. People […] give better advice.
Not my comment flying straight over your head. That reply typifies what I’m talking about.
What advice do you think the joke was giving? Why would you think a joke is providing actual advice? Why would you think that actual advice is a useful response to a joke?
Even if it wasn’t funny, if you recognize it as a joke, none of the behavior makes sense. This smells strongly of lying to save face.Once again, I can’t tell if you’re too autistic to understand a joke, or I’m too autistic to understand your advanced satire.
Okay well maybe you should count me in with the autistics because what I see in that post is a filthy windshield and driver can’t see the road with the sun in their eyes and he’s also taking a picture while driving. Major threat to road safety.
It’s just a silly “Jesus take the wheel” joke
4D Checkers
you can show up to work before sunrise and leave after sunset.

Easy enough in the winter. This pic is my commute both ways in autumn though.
Wash your window, dumbass.
How would that help? his eyes are closed. Didn’t you read it?
Ohh nah, I was reminding myself to wash my window.
Why… why did that arm need to be digitally (ha!) added to the otherwise perfectly fine clip?
Because he points to the left and thy wanted to point to the comment above
Oh. My bad, it never even cross my mind. So it’s basically the gif equivalent of “This.”?
Yeah. City roads should have been planned on the 45°, not the cardinal compass directions. Would have prevented this and saved lives. The sun would be higher and not be in your face as much.
Edit: the earth is round. I apologize for my mid-latitude chauvinism. Adjust angles per lattitude.
http://stevekluge.com/astronomy/riseazimuth.html
At the Equator, where the Sun rises and sets perpendicular to the horizon, the Summer Solstice Sun rises 23.5° north of due East, and sets 23.5° north of due West.
The Sun moves around a lot over a year. I don’t think it’s practical to try to plan a grid around it.
Sure it is! In the northern hemisphere, instead of 45° going east-to-west, just plan in for 45° going west-to-east. It’s foolproof!
Yes, it does. But it would be higher at the 45°’s and not in your face. We planned a grid on the compass one way, it would have been no more difficult the other way.
I believe it depends on the latitude, since away from the equator the Sun rises at an angle and not straight up. It can be low enough to still be below the visor, but risen enough to have moved far enough south (if in the northern hemisphere) to be problematic when driving southeast in the morning or southwest in the evening.
I found this image on Google search that I think illustrates the phenomenon: https://share.google/okYRf16lB1vegnVax

you put on the hazard lights and slow down while steering to the side of the road to assess the situation or until you can see again.
like holy shit why would you even consider accelerating when you can’t see where you’re going
Like holy shit why would you see this and thick that OP is really doing this for real?
It’s a funny joke image with silly joke text, it ain’t that serious
Except that it’s not funny. :p
Jesus take the wheel jokes are always funny
I think it’s a joke
I trust Jesus will keep me safe.
Oh hey Jesus, mind taking the wheel bud? Thanks!
You stick your head out the window like Ace Ventura
Done this to get kids to school on time once or twice. Twas only for a few seconds/meters but was mildly scary all the same
Instructions unclear. Stuck my head out of a rhinoceros’ ass.
No I think you nailed it
