      Ridiculous that we can have people pushing challenges that cause harm, telling you the earth is flat, that trump is god emperor, or that autism is easy to cure. Those garbage posts go crazy. But if you swear some algorithms lower your visibility and certain words get your posts hidden or banned.

      That’s fucked up.

        It’s an easy way to test your censorship algorithms. People swear all the time. It’s also a message to “think what you’re saying before posting” which is great because the best censorship is self censorship. By “great” I mean it’s essential for fascism. Control how people speak, it makes you control how they think, then you control how they act.

        That’s why we should not crosspost from other filthy, corrupted, centralised, properitary and corporate controlled platforms. I wish cross-platform posts were banned in this comm. Or an alternative existed. But Alas…

    I’ve never had a car tire pop but I have had a bike tire pop and it is alarming to say the least.

    For the non car-folks in this thread :

    Normal tire pressure is about 30-40 PSI and a bad rupture can kill you or break your bones even at that pressure if you’re standing next to the tire.

    This person has just installed four bombs on their vehicle that will go off at the slightest inconvenience. A 90 PSI car tire is an imminent risk of death to the driver and everyone around them. Do not let your friends or family do this.

      It’s 110-120 for semi trucks. Just a note to not linger by their tires. Blowouts are statistically uncommon, but there’s a lot of trucks out there

        Had a coworker who was riding a motorcycle on the highway by a semi when the tire next to her blew out. She ended up dropping the bike and sliding along the road. Fortunately she was covered head to toe in protective gear, but it’s still amazing that she wasn’t seriously injured.

        I’ve been driving a truck for 8 years. Never had a tire blow out myself, but have seen it happen in front of me. It is easy to loose control of the wheel when that happens.

          Mine was a trailer tire on a triaxle. I still had 11 tires back there, so it was easy to find a safe spot to stop. I got lucky n that way.

        About fifteen years ago I was overtaking a truck on the motorway when one of its tyres exploded. Took out one of my side windows. The haulage company dealt with it well but I got the impression it wasn’t the first time they’d had to fix that specific issue.

          Yeah they happen with enough regularity that companies aren’t surprised, especially if they have a lot of trucks.

          So the smart move as a car-driver is not to linger by the tires ever. Really, just never linger by them.

            I just hate being near those things in general. Pass as quick as possible and create some space.

      90-100psi is actually around the max rating for a lot of tires, and those ratings are usually made with a margin of error.

      While it’s definitely not good, I don’t think it’s necessarily the dire threat you’re portraying.

        Not sure which type you might be talking about, but all the tires I’ve ever seen for passenger cars have 50psi for their max

        If it blows itself off the car during travel because you hit a pothole the wrong way, it is definitely a dire risk to life and limb. It’s less about the impact of the tire itself at that point and more about the fact that you’re basically guaranteed to suddenly swerve off the road.

        It also massively reduces contact with the road.

        My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.

        Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.

          Even if you are a professional driver, “regular driving” and track driving need to be compartmentalized
