I would blow Dane Cook posted:Did windshields really used to get covered in bugs while driving? Yes, usually youd have the front of your car entirely covered in dead bugs after a long drive on the highway. Because we're constitutively evil, apathetic, and wasteful creatures most people took little note of it at the time other than bemoaning the inconvenience.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Did windshields really used to get covered in bugs while driving? Yes but scientists studied Bruce Lee extensively and sometime in the 1990s all cars were redesigned to effortlessly parry and redirect the bugs away from them like leaves floating in a river. Also please ignore any studies that looked at quantity of bugs and found massive drops or the aerodynamics of cars that show they would hit more bugs than older ones. None of that matters. Modern cars mean modern solutions so the bugs are totally there they are just harmlessly pushed aside through engineering.

Driving behind an F-250 harmlessly deflecting a million bugs into the windshield of my aerodynamically inferior Fiesta.

My family did a lot of road trips in the 80s and 90s and we would regularly have to pull over and clean the windshield at gas stations because the visibility was so bad. That is the entire reason those window squeegee things were at every gas station and now they just sit around mostly unused. I think I hit a bug a couple months ago and had to stop and use one.

Paradoxish posted:We didn't bother taking any of our handful of ski trips this year because it was so depressing last year. We're extremely casual about the sport and skiing is honestly more of a winter vibes thing for us, and driving through several states of mud to reach an island of snow surrounded by damp trees is just... not right. There's a pretty good chance we'll just give it up altogether if it's like this for a few more years. No sense in having a bunch of expensive equipment taking up space anymore. yea that makes sense  this is all real snow, I took this last week despite the generally poo poo winter we're having. I expect this place to stay skiiable to some extent for some number of years, and, I will ski it into the loving ground. It's sorta sad to comtemplate, but, cmon it's opulent poo poo anyway and by the time it's dead we're gonna be dealing with significant, real problems that we're not dealing with yet. Still, every time I get up to this view, I am simultaneously filled with wonder, dread, sorrow and joy. I'm glad my kids are learning to ski, they might be the last generation that does, unless we end up in some kind of ice age with 50,000 humans spread out globally and someone rediscovers Stick On Foot In Snow technology when they unearth an Eddie Bauer catalog.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Did windshields really used to get covered in bugs while driving? We used to drive from Memphis to Minneapolis every summer to see family and my mom would pull off to get gas and it was a job for us kids to clean the windshield at every stop. It was very gross. I can't remember the last time I washed my windshield now. Maybe driving along the Olympic peninsula.

 it used to be fairly common to see these things on trucks. you put this plastic deflector thing on the front of your hood and it was supposed to keep bugs from smashing on your hood/windshield. you can still get them but i can't remember the last time i saw someone using them
