imagine finding out not only that your SO is cheating but that they post on a subreddit for cheating enthusiasts

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago

This is why God invented rat poison.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

They're a redditor AND unfaithful

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

bit idea: blame adulterers for why incels can't get a partner

Incels already do that.

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 78 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why the fuck is there an adultery subreddit lmao

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There are meth subreddits. Anything is possible

[–] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The meth subreddit is at least avant garde funny sometimes.

This is just sad

[–] Pili@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My favorite drug subreddit has to be /r/nutmeg.

Just people casually getting high on cooking spice.

[–] jayWL@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

r/dph has gotta been my favorite, it leans deeply into the bizarre

[–] LeylaLove@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

/r/Ambien is God tier shit posting

There's a recreational Benedryl one too

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

I assumes it's mostly creative fiction. R*dditors would never be able to convince anyone to marry or fuck them.

[–] Tabitha@hexbear.net 72 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think we could all agree that cheating on your person of spouse is bad. However, this type of technology is spreading to more aspects of our daily lives, and eventually most new cars will have some version of it, and will probably be used by reactionary parents to make sure their children aren't going to places like Not Church.

In North Korea, cities are designed to be completely unwalkable so that the only way to get anywhere is to use transportation that tracks all the places you go and gives that data to the government

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 58 points 1 year ago

And the data will be willingly shared with governments to do police state stuff with. The governments will pinky-promise only to use it to catch the bad guys though so there's nothing to worry about.

Fella can't even see his goomah anymore without the NAGGING wife getting involved.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

"So... I'm thinkin'. What if it's a sci-fi story—"

"Sci-fi?"

Christopher plows ahead. "Science fiction, Paulie. And your car always knows where you are? Maybe? So that means your wife and your goomah might know too."

"That's not science fiction. That is a horror movie," Tony says.

Paulie lectures Christopher "Stick to what's important. Your job. Not a dumb story about something that will never happen."

Silvio "I saw this documentary thing few months ago. Technology is improving fast. Very fast. The story could be speculative fiction even. That car thing could happen in our lifetimes. Providing that... You know... We live to old age."

Christopher "See - Silvio thinks it could work."

Paulie - "Documentaries? Speculative fiction? What is this NYU? This is the Bing. Heh-heh-heh-heh."

"It's a horror movie - is what it is," Tony says a little too loudly to be sotto voce.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

He lied. He didn't watch a documentary. He actually read a seven article series called The Future in "Popular Mechanics". He has a subscription. But he didn't want the guys to know any of that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the venn diagram of Tesla owner and adulterer was a circle. Also, just tell your partner you want to fuck other people. Don't tell reddit.

DOG-ACTUAL this is PIG-4, going dark.

turns off find my iPhone

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Getting a booty call that sounds like "The autumn in Prague has come early this year. The crows are dissatisfied at their feast. Unchain the sealed sarcophagus."

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

The fish is red

[–] rubpoll@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

These are the same people who get hysterical about China spying on them.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

Maybe buying a product with all the worst features of a car and a smart phone was a bad idea

[–] AutomatedPossum@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

oh what was that, you didn't think about if you want to be poly before marrying somebody because your dumb cishetnormative ass only knows one way to do relationships and you've absorbed that entirely through watching movies and never reflecting once on what you want from other people, sorry, my bad.

straights lol

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Imagine being such a crowd following nerd that you can't even cheat on your spouse without going to a nerd support forum for advice. These people do absolutely no thinking for themselves.

[–] Zrc@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

i hate reddit so fucking much wtf is this

[–] turkishdelight@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are all Tesla owners horrible people?

[–] DinosaurThussy@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

0% chance this person has a threat model that necessitates not being tracked in their car. That said, most modern cars have similar tracking abilities and simply don’t expose them via an app.

Edit: I didn’t catch that it was in r/adultery. Good lord.

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (8 children)

I'd like an electric car (no trains here, roads too rough to cycle) but this sort of thing puts me off. Can I not buy a dumb electric car anywhere?

[–] RussianEngineer@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

USA went and banned import of the cheap chinese EVs so your only options now are $70k SUVs and the elon bazinga-mobile lineup

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Plug-in hybrids are really good! You can likely do 90% of your driving electrically and still have a long range when you need it, and they're cheaper than full EVs.

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

The problem is all new cars are becoming like this, not just electric ones.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can probably just disable all connectivity settings. Even bluetooth connection will require you to agree to some bullshit before using, so you may even need to get a separate bluetooth device or connect it with a wire

There are devices installed in practically all cars that monitor your driving conditions that are retrieved by cops. Im not sure how you disable those without disabling your entire car. Essentially it's a black box like the ones on planes.

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can convert an old ICE car for like $10k-$20k. Won't have as much range, but at least it won't be an iPad on wheels.

Internal combustion engine

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Basically what I'm saying is to buy a car with a dead engine, and ship it off to a company to convert it to an EV.

There are a lot of cars I like but they're impossible to get with sub-200,000 miles, so I've been strongly considering this route.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

yeah there's not much unless you can build one DIY for your youtube channel.

there are fat tire e bikes with like 2kw motors and 60 volt batteries that might stand up to your roads. maybe a golf cart.

[–] space_comrade@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm pretty sure you can still like not pair it to your phone and just drive the thing, I don't think any absolutely require you to use your phone, you just maybe lose out on some infotainment features.

A golf cart?

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

spoilerElon can see you picking your nose and all the other things you do as well.
