Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Holy shit, the problem occurred because of
They got Dawn all over the pad. Extremely unserious car company.
literally exactly what boeing was doing too lol (though not the worst of it)
Boeing type manufacturing process.
Someone though it was very big brained to save a couple bucks on cheaper lubricant?
afaict there wasn't supposed to be any lubricant but sliding on the pedals during assembly was probably difficult and they "innovated"
We accidentally replaced all the pedals with banana peels
We always used hairspray or gel for sliding bike grips on. Figured a bit of sticky wouldn't hurt.
That said, for something like a fucking car pedal I'd expect loctited bolts, or an interference fit, or at least a fucking pin.
I have to assume this was not the original design. It reeks of beancounter bullshit. You can't be an automotive engineer without learning about the Ford Pinto. Did they fucking hire the Challenger program managers to oversee this?
Then again, given that this was
's design, maybe "no screws or bolts" was a dumbass requirement. But, interference fits.
Ugh, this is just stupid as hell.
They lubricated the pedals? Did they oil the brakes too?
