I have so many memories of my dad driving us up to the corner store, beer in hand, to put $5 in the tank and rent us Megaman 4.

Sad that the default of the current world is “can you drive?”
Mate, I can barely hold a conversation with people Ive worked with for 3+ years. How am I going to communicate via flashing lights to strangers, while driving a 1000kg hunk of metal at 50kph?
I think I can contribute to society. (I haven’t been fired yet. So I must be doing something right) but must I be cut out of social weekend events, or anything after 6pm, JUST because i cant drive?
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Well there’s always Uber and public transportation but both of those can be inconvenient at times. Someday I will get better at driving to get my own car though
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
I get your pain but personally I think social events work better without driving anyway because then you can consume alcohol
MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Cheers. Id drink to that. (Am slightly concerned that I’m going to toen for after work drinks 3-4 times a week, but its better than the alternative)

Yes,because dad cool, mom uncool.
Funny sexism from the 50s.
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 weeks ago
Yes because dad criminal, mom not criminal
Sweet sexism.
::: NOT EVERTHING IS FUCKING SEXISM, THE MEME WAS ABOUT DRUNK DADS
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Yes, it perpetuates the harmful stereotype that only men can have addiction issues. Gender stereotypes are harmful to all genders.

Wren@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
It goes deeper than that, too.
Pop culture painting dads as irresponsible parents comes from the idea that women are natural caregivers while men are just boys who work. It’s a cultural bias that still affects legislation and custody rulings, and why it’s a goddamn fight to get changing table in men’s public washrooms.
Funny drunk dad meme is just the scum on the surface of a shitty lake.
KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 2 weeks ago
Yes, thank you.

Unfuckable comment
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That’s putting it a bit abrasively, but there’s a nugget of truth there.
An anecdote: I saw some (drug?) commercial where the wife orders pizza because the Dad’s a bumbling idiot for even attempting to use the kitchen. Everything about the way it was presented just screamed… ‘50s sexism’? That’s a good way to put it.
rekabis@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Yes,because dad cool, mom uncool.
Funny sexism from the 50s.
Or maybe mom responsible adult, dad irresponsible man-child?
It’s the funny anti-male gender bigotry of this century.
And I don’t think great-grandpa could make a meme like this, so your characterization is probably going to be the much less likely source.

Since when is being a criminal driver cool?
Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Does anyone have the original of the dad doge
Gonna need it so I can use it as a reaction lol
The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
Xenny@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Original is still edited. Pretty sure someone put human eyes on him to make it more uncanny
Baguette@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Goat
Thanks

No joke I took my driving test in a random minivan because my dad wrecked his car that I practiced in in a DUI
No wonder I don’t like driving lol

Learning to drive with grandpa: -GP:You know, I miss your grandma. -GD:I miss granny too. -GP:Let’s then close eyes together and imagine her. Just drive faster sweetheart.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My eyes were never open, Grandpa. See you soon. ❤️

Thumbs up on the wheel, not around it. Again, due to airbags.

itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I’ve been forcing my thumbs up for years for nothing?!?! It looks like having your thumbs directly on the airbag is bad news but I was sure I’d have broken thumbs with my hands at 10 and 2.
wischi@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
What? I’m pretty sure that’s complete BS and the thumb is probably the least of your problems when the airbags deploy
HuntressHimbo@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Had the opposite experience tbh. Dad was banned from teaching us driving because he was too strict
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Yeah, fucking cops man, I tell you.
A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 2 weeks ago
>:(
Why they won’t let me drive recklessly and kill a family of for?
altphoto@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Only if you’re white and rich or a diplomat from a rich country.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
*9 and 3.
Triumph@fedia.io 2 weeks ago
Came here to say that whoever wrote this is old, like me.
The switch from 10/2 to 9/3 is because of airbags. If you’re doing it the old way, you’re more likely to have the airbag catch your hand and whack you right in the face with it.
zaphodb2002@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
10 and 2 was always stupid. When I was young I got an opportunity to go to a racing school and that was one of the first things they talked about. If you mime driving a car, do you put your hands at 10 and 2? No, you’ll probably do 9 and 3. Better control, less going hand over hand.
Also you should push the steering wheel with your outside hand, not pull it. Smoother input.

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
It’s mainly for better control of the vehicle. At 9 and 3, you can pull the steering wheel straight down to turn.
Siethron@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I thought the risk was degloving.
tatterdemalion@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
My driving instructor said the airbag could rip the skin off your arms lol
iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
*7 and 5
Less arm fatigue and safer with air bags.
snooggums@piefed.world 2 weeks ago
With better control the airbags won't go off.
9:30 and 2:30 is optimal and hands are to the side for an accident.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
No it’s not.
Lycist@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Thought they were teaching 7 and 4 now? Due to airbags I’d heard.
flandish@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
just go with 0 and 0 with a knee on the wheel.
MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
7 and 4 isn’t even centered
joyjoy@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
You also need to keep in mind thumb placement. If you have a vice grip on the steering wheel with your thumb and forefinger wrapping the wheel, you’ll get your thumbs ripped off/sprained in a crash.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
No.
Gerudo@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Til they updated the standard.
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That is the updated standard.
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Sounds annoying to drive with your hands to the side
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
No, it is the proper way to drive. That is why the signals are at the side, so you can operate them without moving your hands.
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Eh, 3 fingertips at 7
