Anon learns about cars

  A person doesn’t need to know how cars work to drive one. They ought to know, but it’s not technically required.

    They ought to know

    I’d question even that. Hardly any user knows how their phone works, so why would cars be any different? You probably should know basic maintenance but most cars tell you what they need anyway.

      isnt it the other way arround people ought to know how their phones work? rellying on anything without understanding how it works is a dangerous game

      Understanding physics issues like momentum, traction, and the way a car turns is important to not crashing. Otherwise you get people making poor decisions on ice.

    I feel like for 10 of those years, it’s acceptable. Maybe even like 12-13 because everyone doesn’t learn at the same pace. But for at least the last 5 years, this dude was living in a kind of ignorantly blissful haze that makes me envious of his carefree life.

  If Anon was seven, this would be cute. Coming from a twenty year old, it’s kinda scary.

  If this is false then why do faster cars have more exhaust pipes?

  the real “how are you this retarded” is not from op. the real “how are you this retarded” is expecting people to understand how the devices they’re using work.

  anyone that never had to work on something or troubleshoot problems with it will not have an inherent understanding of how it functions.

    Okay but like

    He thought it went forward by blowing exhaust out the back real hard, and he thought that hard enough to bring it up out loud

      I mean, that works well enough to go to space, so why can’t it get you to the store?

      Tbh the exhaust pipes on a Spitfire are angled backwards because it actually makes a difference

    This is more a failure of understanding basic physics.

    The hacker known as 4chan works with software not (car) hardware.

    If you lift off the throttle you can induce oversteer because you are transferring the weight of the vehicle away from the back wheels.

  Watching my sister play Gran Turismo 7 makes me understand why she never managed to get a license.

  Almost true if it’s a turbocharged engine, though.
