kliras posted:does it give you boost power to ride over or something? anthropologists studying the so-called 'sharrow' sites believe that they may have been used by primitive cyclists to invoke some kind of bicycle deity. although they clearly provided no physical protection to riders, it may have been the case that these symbols were painted on routes to confer supernatural blessings on the cyclists who used them by propitiating friendly spirits. it remains unclear if offerings - perhaps bottles of chain lube or fragments of shattered helmets - were placed on the symbols, and further study is needed to see if their placement aligns with various solstices.

it's so sad what a huge amount of societies productive capacity goes into over large, overly powerful cars. worse than most luxury goods as at least a hermes tie or whatever is mostly harmless

The US took the largesse of its empire and dumped it mostly in cars and car culture (and some carriers).

Mr. Sharps posted:these and the new landrovers all have this micro machines aesthetic that makes it look like they open up into some sort of miniature theme park for cars. I don’t know if it’s an improvement on the puffy “suffering from a serious skin reaction” look of other vehicles but at least it’s appropriately infantilizing i like that they're called footjob cruisers

El Pollo Blanco posted:why not just remove the car's oil sump and dump its contents on the windshield instead what Dolphin's suggesting is that if you were to cork the oil pan it wouldn't eject the cork until the car was in motion, guaranteeing a catastrophic oil pressure loss in transit and likely damaging the car's drivetrain

So you remove the drain bolt, drain the oil out, install a cork, and fill it back up with oil, and hope no one notices the 5 quarts of black gold under the car
