Oh hey Jesus, mind taking the wheel bud? Thanks!
This comment section is either too autistic or not autistic enough, because they’re either unable to identify the joke in the post, or I’m unable to identify their level 7 advanced satire.
I think with Lemmy it’s almost always the former
4D Checkers
Okay well maybe you should count me in with the autistics because what I see in that post is a filthy windshield and driver can’t see the road with the sun in their eyes and he’s also taking a picture while driving. Major threat to road safety.
It’s just a silly “Jesus take the wheel” joke
We identify the joke, it’s just not very funny
Nothing says “I can tell this is a joke, but it’s not funny” like telling OP that they’re acting dangerously as though they’re actually doing this, and giving them actual advice as though they asked for any.
/sJoke not funny, advice dumb. People no haha, give better advice.
Judging by those advice posts being massively upvoted - seems most agree.
advice dumb. People […] give better advice.
Not my comment flying straight over your head. That reply typifies what I’m talking about.
What advice do you think the joke was giving? Why would you think a joke is providing actual advice? Who would you think that actual advice is a useful response to a joke?
Once again, I can’t tell if you’re too autistic to understand a joke, or I’m too autistic to understand your advanced satire.
Well I for one don’t get the joke. What’s the joke?
It’s just a “Jesus take the wheel” joke.
The humor is in the absurdity itself.Thanks for the pointer. I had to look it up. That song never entered my (British) consciousness and I guess that’s not a thing in the UK.

this is so a pre-2010s problem
the new problem is LED headlights. I nearly hit somebody last week because I went when the light turned green and somebody was walking across the intersection on the other side, but completely invisible until the last second because of some asshole on the other side with LED headlights

and at night, when you realise their high beams were off the whole time… the hard way
But I need to outshine the quasar at the center of the galaxy to see where I’m going!
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
I think it’s a joke
I trust Jesus will keep me safe.
It’s a funny joke image with silly joke text, it ain’t that serious
Except that it’s not funny. :p
Jesus take the wheel jokes are always funny
Like holy shit why would you see this and thick that OP is really doing this for real?
I’ve been in the situation plenty as a driver and if you don’t know how to handle it, destroy your driver’s license.
Jesus fucking Christ.
You people have the privilege of being able to legally drive on public roads… FFS.
Maybe calm down a bit?
It’s a meme sure, but it’s a dismissive meme about an issue that when poorly handled, kills people. That people have a heated reaction isn’t entirely unexpected, nor strictly unreasonable.
Why? If people think this is an acceptable situation to go ahead and drive in, then people are going to get hurt or killed.
How calm should I be about driver’s being so irresponsible that they endanger themselves and everyone around them because “lol, what was I supposed to do?!?” … Exactly?
Can’t see? Don’t drive. It’s not fucking rocket surgery.
Because it’s a meme on a meme community?
I’ve been having a shit week and I don’t mean to be a dick about it.
I’m not sure why I give this much of a shit about a post that should be ha-ha funny.
I’m sorry.
I hope you’re doing better, or will be soon. The world’s a shitty place at the minute. Keep the faith! Sorry if I’ve brought you down further.
You stick your head out the window like Ace Ventura
Done this to get kids to school on time once or twice. Twas only for a few seconds/meters but was mildly scary all the same
Instructions unclear. Stuck my head out of a rhinoceros’ ass.
No I think you nailed it
reverse-nailed it, more like.
clean your windshield that shit is dirty as fuuck
Klote zon
Take a photo of your filthy windshield in the sun so you have something to post as engage-bait when you get home…
Or don’t ever outside and just repost other people’s engage-bait…
Either way.
Do not casually drive in Hiroshima/Nagasaki in 1945.
Okay but what if I’m in a Toyota ae86 and need to deliver sushi?
Tofu*
It means it’s time to get serious.
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.
What it’s like to ride a motorcycle at sunrise:
I seriously hope OP has stopped to take that pic and didn’t just pull out the phone while driving to do this.
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.
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
Yeah. City roads should have been planned on the 45°, not the cardinal compass directions. Would have prevented this and saved lives. The sun would be higher and not be in your face as much.

At the Equator, where the Sun rises and sets perpendicular to the horizon, the Summer Solstice Sun rises 23.5° north of due East, and sets 23.5° north of due West.
The Sun moves around a lot over a year. I don’t think it’s practical to try to plan a grid around it.
Yes, it does. But it would be higher at the 45°’s and not in your face. We planned a grid on the compass one way, it would have been no more difficult the other way.
I believe it depends on the latitude, since away from the equator the Sun rises at an angle and not straight up. It can be low enough to still be below the visor, but risen enough to have moved far enough south (if in the northern hemisphere) to be problematic when driving southeast in the morning or southwest in the evening.
I found this image on Google search that I think illustrates the phenomenon: https://share.google/okYRf16lB1vegnVax
Sure it is! In the northern hemisphere, instead of 45° going east-to-west, just plan in for 45° going west-to-east. It’s foolproof!
