  I’ve seen people get out of vehicles to try to take selfies with grizzly bear cubs. But yeah you get slapped once by either and you’re pretty much dead if you aren’t within 10 minutes to a hospital.

  Look at your bodies, women! An internal inguinal canal less likely to cause a hernia, lower center of gravity, higher body fat, and less body hair for easier cleanup. God created you for spending long hours in the coal mines!

  Let’s say you turn right to park in a spot but your turning radius sucks so you’re at an angle and your rear right is really close to the next car.

  Crank the wheel right as far as it’ll go and crawl forward a handful of inches so the front of your car is equally close to the car on the right and you’re parallel with that car but really close.

  Straighten your wheels, reverse out all parallel to that car until your front bumper clears that car, then crank the wheel left and crawl in reverse a handful of inches, until the rear of the car is aiming in the other direction.

  Straighten the wheel and crawl another couple of inches, until your rear axle is centered in the space, then put it in drive and pull right in now that the rear is centered

  I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

  That one’s real tho - higher res image here. Truck beds are mega flimsy up top aside from the stake pockets

  I got carried away with a 2004 Chevy Cavalier coupe at Ikea like 15 years ago. I bought a bedframe, nightstand, dresser, and a couple cheap wood chairs.

  And then I saw a small cheap couch and decided to grab it impulsively on my way to checkout like it was a pack of gum or something.

  I got everything except the couch to just barely barely fit, and I started looking at that huge box for the couch and thought “have I lost my mind” and had to go back in and return it right then and there

  And then we have beavers which have seemingly mastered the use of gates in order to direct and impede flow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to be ethical⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They still don’t want an honest 95%+ ethical person in any role because it might conflict with the corporation’s desire to have workers rationalize that the needs of the corporation are more important than ethics, ie not wanting to hire potential whistleblowers.

  They want ethical but only to the point that they’re willing to be unethical for the corporation, but not to the point that they’d ever be unethical towards the corporation. Basically sketchy ‘ride or die’ logic

  Gross metabolic efficiency is gonna be around ~25% so you’re best off measuring kilojoules of work as an approximation of calorie burn, and then compare that to how many gallons of gas would be consumed when in a car, but you’d still probably wanna drink the gas
