Why... why did that arm need to be digitally (ha!) added to the otherwise perfectly fine clip?
You stick your head out the window like Ace Ventura
Instructions unclear. Stuck my head out of a rhinoceros' ass.
No I think you nailed it
Clean your windshield, inside and out, and polarized sunglasses, or sunglass clips for glasses. And make sure any level of astigmatism you may have is known and corrected for.
If after washing your windshield, it still scatters the incoming light too much, it is probably pitted. You may have to consider replacing it. It is part of maintaining a vehicle. It may suck to be surprised with an expense like that, but the surprise expense of an avoidable accident is much worse. And might not only be expensive.
Every so often I have moments like this where I encounter actual adults out in the wild and am reminded that I am just masquerading, and poorly.
We all learn from each other bro. You’re doing great, just for the fact you can recognize good advice. We are all imposters. Keep plugging.
I recently found a new shower cleaner that actually works for the first time, and it cleaned the heavy deposits from my weird local water on my tub in less than five minutes, which normally takes me half and hour or more of scrubbing.
I felt like a superior adult, started sharing the news with all of my fellow grown up children. Maybe some day I’ll identify a funny noise in my car as well and earn my real adult degree.
I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.
I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.
If you've ever watched or read anything with that "wise old hermit" that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can't function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.
Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.
I used to avoid driving at certain times of day because I thought my astigmatism was making it too difficult to see. Turns out it was my windshield! Cost about $400 to to replace
you put on the hazard lights and slow down while steering to the side of the road to assess the situation or until you can see again.
like holy shit why would you even consider accelerating when you can't see where you're going
It's a funny joke image with silly joke text, it ain't that serious
Except that it's not funny. :p
I trust Jesus will keep me safe.
you can show up to work before sunrise and leave after sunset.

your boss
Slow the fuck down?
Car brainrot is real
Car brainrot [sic] is real
I’m pretty sure the meme is a joke.
I hate cars more than anything on this planet. And my great sorrow is that when I die, I will never have seen a car-free day in my life.
I hate this so much. I'm secretly hoping a rock will crack my windshield bad enough that my insurance will pay for a new one.
Funny thing about rocks, they are everywhere. Grab one and get crackin
Have you cleaned the inside of your windscreen?
They can get scratched up, but if you haven't cleaned the inside of the glass before, most of the crud is probably there and cleaning it will make a huge difference.
People who vape in their car need to do it minimum monthly. The film of glycol just makes everything look smeared.
Vaping in my car is what made me start keeping a microfiber cloth in my door pocket. The vape went away, but the cloth is actually really handy for cleaning off the window when sitting at red lights. Would recommend to everyone that drives.
Unfortunately, this is the result of a 50+ year old design in road geometry as much as a defect in your windshield.
There genuinely isn't a grid design that would prevent this scenario at some point in the year
Dead on East/West roads have it far worse than rolling highways set at North/South angles.
That's just not true though. Most of the year in the northern hemisphere, roads angled to the southwest are much worse than roads heading dead west during sunset.
Of course, just step on the gas. But more importantly, don't forget to shout "FOR FRODO!! while doing it.
I seriously hope OP has stopped to take that pic and didn't just pull out the phone while driving to do this.
You’re still driving a car while stopped mate. This is the reasoning that leads to people drinking while they are stopped. They aren’t technically driving… but it’s obviously not safe and shouldn’t be done.
Yet people condone it? Fucking hell.
🤨 can't tell if serious
You could get hit by a meteorite while not driving, so you must always have full attention at steering wheel
Looks like some sort of red light is off to the side, so probably stopped?
That's a truck tail light...
Oh, true. Doubly hopefully stopped if they're that close to the vehicle in front of them.
Do you think being stopped means it’s safe to use your phone behind the wheel?
How are you supposed to make an evasive maneuver if the car behind you can’t stop? Or if someone starts crossing the road and is now laying on the road from falling?
Hope you aren't using a phone to send this. Who knows what could happen during that time. Maybe someone puts the big red launch nukes button under your foot and you start nuclear winter when you go to stand up.
That’s obviously something that’s impossible to happen.
If you think that neither of those are possible, or countless others… you’re a hazard on the road. There is absolutely no reason to use your phone while stopped, anything can happen, and you won’t notice while you’re sending that text.
The life of you or someone else isn’t more important than whatever is on your phone.
You seem to think getting rear ended while stopped at a light is an impossibility… that’s clearly not true and there’s plenty of statistics to support this is entirely possible and does happen. Now, you can also avoid the collision if you’re paying attention and have space. But obviously that can’t happen if you’re too preoccupied with your phone, instead of the road. Like you’re supposed to. At all times.
How are you supposed to make an evasive manoeuvre at all when standing still?
Move your foot from the brake to the gas and steer out of the way…? Same way you would move for emergency vehicles. Which is another reason to pay attention to the road.
How is this even a question lmfao.
You're not quickly getting your car out of the way of someone else if you're fully stopped. Most of them don't accelerate nearly fast enough for that. Besides, pretty sure I would just stall the car if I tried evading someone quickly while probably slightly panicked.
You don't do an evasive manoeuvre for emergency vehicles. You should hear and see them coming from quite a distance. You just scoot over in a regular way.
What it's like to ride a motorcycle at sunrise:
Slam!
Let the boys be boys
