And this is why we used to make cars out of STEEL instead of FIBERGLASS! Sure, fiberglass is a lot lighter in weight and hence a hell of a lot better for gas mileage. But you hit anything at more than 20 mph and the entire body explodes off the fucking thing, and now you’re spending more to repair the car than it’s worth because you need a entire front end, read end, or side panel. They can’t just take the damaged section off, beat it out with a hammer, sand it, and repaint it.

Everything is made with the idea of it being easier to replace than to maintain, aka planned obsolescence. Thanks, capitalism

You guys are obscenely, dangerously wrong. 

It’s not planned obsolescence, it’s physics.

Modern cars crumple to absorb and distribute the forces of impact in an accident in an effort to protect the occupants. When cars didn’t have those crumple zones, the occupants, being the soft, squishy things they were, took those forces and were mangled or killed in horrible ways. Also, those older cars took hidden damage that often went unnoticed and made them very dangerous to drive. 

I recently watched a TV show where a small sedan was run over by the trailer of an eighteen-wheeler. Run. Over. They had to unwrap the crumpled ball of a car from the undercarriage of that trailer. Guess what? The driver suffered only minor injuries because the car collapsed in exactly the way it was designed to so that she, in the very strong frame surrounding the passenger compartment, was protected. 

And no, don’t thank capitalism for these modern cars. Thank Ralph Nader and countless other safety activists who worked tirelessly to make car manufacturers accountable for the safety of the people who drove their cars.

why are there 5,000 people on this site holding back from doing something with literally zero repercussions for anyone in a world that will never remember the chances you didn’t take? don’t waste your time on this earth live your life slap some rice

Hi my job is literally to reset the shelves and honestly??

Slap that rice. Slap it good. patting down the bags makes it easier to stack more, which means when I have to do it it’ll be flatter and more settled and more likely that I can just slide it along without it slidin’ around.

You are doing me a FAVOR by slapping that rice.

rice man approves

Honestly, if something is kind of weird but totally harmless to do, do the thing. Smack those red ball statue things outside Target. Poke that interesting-looking rug on the sales rack. Hold one of the trial-size shampoos in each hand. People might notice that you’re doing something unusual, but nobody cares all that much.

I’m that anon with the 20hex tank! Please submit this anonymously. My cresteds name is Nugget and his favorite thing is bugs and being fed his paste on a spoon. He gets regular changes in his diet from pangea, zoo med, and T-Rex plus pollen, honey, and color boosters sometimes. He is my first lizard and I love him so much 💙

Cute! Nugget has a very nice little home (and Nugget is such a cute name too omg). My only suggestion would be to consider adding a bit more cover in the top portion of the tank so he has more places to hide, but it’s not imperative or anything. With how dense the cover in the middle area is, he obviously has good cover if he decides he wants to hide. You have a great enclosure, I’m impressed at how nicely you’ve done for your first gecko. I love the splash of color the flowers add 🙂

I’d second adding a bit more to the top, maybe some branches so he can climb up into every bit of space he has. That’s always good. It’s a really nice enclosure, though! The addition is definitely more of a “this would be a bonus” thing than a “you need to do this” thing.

Any pics of the nugget himself? 

I like the skull, where is it from?
