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

Woah woah woah there pal, we don't even say sw--r around these parts, that's too far! If you're going to censor an image at least do it right. smh /j

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 25 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Now hang on, you can't expect us to actually admit what we're doing here.

[–] deroyonz@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 days ago

sorry thats not a censor, i just accidentally came on the screen a bit

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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.

[–] pressanykeynow@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] missfrizzle@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

lemmy.ml (used to?) automatically replace "bitch" with *removed*. I'd see people call themselves a "basic removed" or say "removed please" and it was very confusing. it applied to every message.

"cunt" wasn't censored, though? or maybe they removed the filter at some point.

I'm not a tankie so I left and never looked back.

[–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

seems like they still do

[–] darkmogool@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

holy fucking shit i fucking angree

same shit woth "sex", "porn" and so on

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Unfortunately, if you want censoring to stop, we have to stop letting our lives be ruled by algorithms.

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.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 104 points 2 days ago (6 children)

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

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 55 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] Hubi@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

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 never had a car tire pop but I have had a bike tire pop and it is alarming to say the least.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 37 points 2 days ago (6 children)

It gets far worse every couple psi. This was likely 10-20 imagine 50+

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's one lucky motherfucker, look at what it did to the front wing.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Doesn't look like his ears were lucky, but yeah, it exploded vertically lucky for him. But God, imagine the destruction a 90 psi tire would do. Fucking crater where you and the car were.

[–] JordanZ@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Big tire(1550lbs/703kg) with big pressure(150psi). That cage is 820lbs/372kg. That is a staggering amount of energy.

Edit: full video

PSI stands for percentage of safe inflation

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Just imagine if there was a unit of measure shown as well
