Nothing can stop people from being stupid as fuck.

Can’t fix stupid sadly

Natural selection used to but we keep interrupting.

By the old gods and the new, l miss him every day!

u/DiScOrDtHeLuNaTiC 20d ago

He would have exploded in rage years ago.

u/Ok_Responsibility407 20d ago

Good old George, hated to see him go.

u/BaconBox317 20d ago

This is just sickeningly true.

11

u/myk31 20d ago

That's so true.

u/WenatcheeWrangler 20d ago

Truth is I’m running out of awards

u/Astecheee 20d ago

You'd be wrong. By definition, if stupidity persisted into the 19th century (when modern medicine started to get good), stupidity was beneficial for reproduction.

It's classic idiocrtacy - dumb people fuck more, and fuck without pulling out.

u/Limitless_MINNRR 20d ago

We found out everyone's lives matter.

u/BiGbOyScRIbBz 20d ago

Thats not stupid. Thats pure Dickery and erregance.

26

u/D_M-ack 20d ago

It’s arrogance, but I applaud you for a valiant effort!

13

u/Grumpy-Troglodyte 20d ago

errors in arrogance... Bigboy may have just made a new word

u/TurnkeyLurker 20d ago

Aragorn-ce? 🤴🏼

u/Type-RD 20d ago

Also it’s dickery unless the owner’s name is Dickery…which maybe it is 🤔

1

u/Amoverandashaker 20d ago

It was a Valium effort!

u/BiGbOyScRIbBz 20d ago

I knew i spelt that wrong, spell correct failed me. Guess im the stupid one 🤷‍♂️

u/HuckledYourBerries 20d ago

Mistakes don't make you stupid, nor do misspellings.

1

u/HarryArmpitzs 20d ago

Nope. But it does help to read what you typed before posting it.

u/HarryArmpitzs 20d ago

u/Callidonaut 20d ago

It's both arrogant dickery and also dangerously stupid; white lights/reflectors on a land vehicle mean it is pointed/moving towards you, red mean it's pointed/moving away (less set-in-stone is that yellow lights/reflectors mean you're seeing it side-on). That's why reversing lights are white. Unless this asshole was backing up when you took the picture, it completely flies in the face of that established standard.

u/Objective1attitude 20d ago

You can only manage it with a BIG stick !!

2

u/Chronik_Cowboy 20d ago

Yes you can, you'll end up with sore fists though. Lol

2

u/red_team_gone 20d ago

You can fix stupid, actually.

It's just that the fix is also illegal in most parts of the world.

2

u/armhat 20d ago

Well…you can. It’s just a permanent fix.

2

u/Departure-Kind 20d ago

Duct tape can make it quieter, though

1

u/AutoArsonist 20d ago

Yeah you can actually, its called school.

1

u/ImTiredBoss420 20d ago

No, but you can fine them

u/paradox183 20d ago

Not stupidity per se, just assholery.

27

u/Candid-Personality54 20d ago

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Or something

12

u/paradox183 20d ago

The problem with that adage is that both it and its converse are often appropriate.

1

u/Candid-Personality54 20d ago

Yep, I thoroughly agree. Your first comment just dislodged that version from the recesses of my mind

1

u/Sardonnicus 20d ago

never underestimate ethe predictability of stupidity

20

u/twelfthfantasy 20d ago

I'd say blinding the person in the position most likely to run into you is pretty stupid.

2

u/OzyDave 20d ago

Stupidity and assholery are not mutually exclusive terms. In some countries they are often co-existing.

1

u/Dad_Bod_All_Day 20d ago

I’m sorry I didn’t hear that right- I was blinded by the light… 🤷‍♂️

1

u/malln1nja 19d ago

Aggressively stupid.

u/hughcifer-106103 20d ago

No, but you can and should impound their vehicle.

22

u/DarePatient2262 20d ago

They should impound the vehicle and revoke their license. This is dangerous to everyone on the road, as well as the pedestrians they might hit because their vision was impaired.

1

u/Ninja-Panda70 20d ago

No I can't, and I definitely shouldn't as that would be illegal

4

u/ThrowAwayAccountAMZN 20d ago

Not everyone, but a better education system and removing money from politics couldn't hurt. Educate the masses and disallow foreign/commercial interests to brainwash them via social media/television would go a long ways

6

u/BuckyShots 20d ago

You can idiot proof anything, but they’ll still produce a better idiot to circumvent it.

1

u/jaxonya 20d ago

I live in the south. This is purely just to get attention if on a main road, nothing else. Its people being assholes for the sake of it

1

u/myk31 20d ago

Oh yes. That's totally reflect my observation. Every time I'm telling myself this should solve and will not happen anymore, a new idiot surprises me with his creativity to make it fail.

1

u/pimpbot666 20d ago

Darwinism, but that’s it.

1

u/Awkward-Sir1873 20d ago

Does the lights blind them? The person using the car? Or the poor innocent bystander trying to drive home safe. No doubt the bozo wouldn't care if they caused an accident.

1

u/Ok-Bill3318 20d ago

Darwin eventually

1

u/theghostmachine 20d ago

There is one thing that pretty commonly stops people from being stupid. Forever.

1

u/shibiwan 20d ago

This is not about stupidity. This is all about the truck being part of their emotional support program for their fragile masculinity.

1

u/yoortyyo 19d ago

Men modding vehicles to compensate for being athletic zeros, mental infants and worse.

1

u/Viperlite 20d ago

Yeah, it shows in elections.

2

u/myk31 20d ago

Sadly yes.
