Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Any time a car or other vehicle is involved in an accident, it erupts in a massive explosion or fireball. If every car did that IRL, the fire department would never be out of a job knowing how they hand out licenses like candy.
When I was 16 I swerved to miss a recliner in the roadway (yeah you read that right) and ended up careening off the road down an embankment. As soon as I was stopped at the bottom, I was convinced I had to clear the area because obviously the car was about to explode. It did not. So anyway that was my first and worst car accident. Why there was a recliner in the roadway is a mystery I will never solve.
there is a large overlap in the Venn diagram of people who wouldn't notice if an entire ass recliner fell out of their pickup truck and people who fail to properly secure cargo in their pickup truck
True true… but it was situated like, fully reclined. One idea was that knuckleheads placed it there as a prank, bro. But the other, probably more reasonable, is your idea.
I wouldn't be surprised if it flopped open like a book upon hitting the pavement
I also wouldn't be surprised if knuckleheads placed it there like that
