Just a little bit more

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- There are a lot of tragic stories of people that had the idea "I'll slash the tires to this trucker to teach him a lesson" but instead they got a physics lesson
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Yeah but they would be hot rating.
  Cold ratings are usually lower.
  Then they hear up on the road
- On my 3/4 ton work truck, my tires max at 80psi and I fill them to 60psi. BFG A/TS.
And is there non-deadly way of disarming those bombs then?
- Here is an excellent answer for anyone asking how to deal with over-inflated tires. It should be weighted above other answers.
  The car tires are too dangerous to be deflated, or even taken off the car. Your only safe solution is to snipe the tires with a long-range rifle. Also shoot the spare, if possible. Once all tires have been eliminated, you may approach the car and remove them. Check your wheel wells for damage before installing the new tires.
- If it were up to me to do so, I'd remove the valve core to let the tire vent some pressure. Might still recommend some safety glasses for it though because if you don't have a good grip on that core it's going to fire itself out of the valve stem like an air rifle pellet.
  If you don't have a valve core removal tool then you can also just press down on the tip of the valve core with a small screwdriver or something, but you might be risking some damage to the core doing that, and you're going to be sitting there an awful long time listening to it psssshhhh its way back down to 30. Even if you do damage the core it's nothing that isn't fixable at a tire shop though.
But you may want to encourage your enemies to do this.

STOP. CENSORING. EVERY. FUCKING. SWEAR!!!!

- Woah woah woah there pal, we don't even say sw--r around these parts, that's too far! If you're going to censor an image at least do it right. smh /j
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.
- most fascists don't call themselves fascists. so YouTube censoring the word "fascist" tends to muzzle people calling out fascists, not the fascists themselves. it vexes me.
- 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...
- one of these annoys everyone, while the other creates content for me to enjoy
sorry thats not a censor, i just accidentally came on the screen a bit
lemmy.ml (used to?) automatically replace "bitch" with *removed*. I'd see people call themselves a "basic removed" or say "removed please" and it was very confusing. it applied to every message.
"cunt" wasn't censored, though? or maybe they removed the filter at some point.
I'm not a tankie so I left and never looked back.
- seems like they still do
Unfortunately, if you want censoring to stop, we have to stop letting our lives be ruled by algorithms.
- Is there any way to subscribe to posts upvoted by specific Lemmy users?
- Lemmy uses an open one though and isnt it just based on upvotes and time?
It's particularly infuriating when the censor doesn't even inhibit the ability to read the word. Like, a child can still figure out what that says.
holy shπ
I fucking r*fuse!

holy fucking shit i fucking angree
same shit woth "sex", "porn" and so on
Fcking right, these sht sucking cnts, censoring every twt spanking bastrd wnker who sdding censors their own bldy spnking, comments.
Gsh
Flps

FOAMY GUSHING CUNT!
- Lot of people been asking me why my voice beeps all the fking time. The Torgue shareholders wired my voicebox with a digital censor, so I can't say stuff like St ck py or fkin-dkballs. That's like half my vocabulary, it's goddamn bullst!!
It’s a bit confusing because this is an image and not the text itself.
But that might scare away advertisers...
Stop telling people how to write if I want to add an * to a word I fucking will do. Sometimes I find it adds something to the word like highlights this is a strong word. Y’all are some basic b*tches complaining about dumb stuff all the fucking time.
Get a grip ya silly c*nt.
- So you use censorship as emphasis? That seems backwards

100 psi = 6.89475729 Bar

Wow, everyone should be using metric, this is so much easier!
- are you stupid or sarcastic?
- The unit of pressure in the SI is, in fact, the pascal. 100 psi = 689.5 kPa. For whatever reason we use bars for the tyres, tho. My car tyres run at 2.3 bar, which is a nice and easy number to remember not like the equivalent 33.358679678 psi, so ugly and difficult.
- Or 689kpa.
- Yeah seriously with 100 psi it’s all zeros after the decimal. Look how precise you can get when you convert to bar.
- 6 bar is 87.022642638 psi. What's your point? Metric is superior in every way. Nearly the entire world was smart enough to come to that conclusion.
Jesus. My bike tires have less than that.
I think race bicycles are around 6-7 bars. Is there a risk there?
- Much smaller tire, and so much less stored energy
- They're made for those pressures. Most normal car tires aren't.
- Thin tires get high pressures to account for narrow points of contact. Tires are designed with this in mind. Now picture putting 6 bars in a fat tire, that bike won't be happy.

For the love of God man, live stream it so we can all share in the glorious moment of triumph!

And have another video of an exploding tire that blows a guy to pieces? Yeeeeiiiii
- No not another exploding tire video!
  Yes, and another and another AND ANOTHER!

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

It gets far worse every couple psi. This was likely 10-20 imagine 50+
- That's one lucky motherfucker, look at what it did to the front wing.
- I've seen truck tires explode with people literally being blown away, not something you walk away from
  This guy likely will need hearing aides
- Tires are the enemy.
- Other day, noticed a digital air pump warned not to be near the tire while inflating… oof!! Poor guy
  Also thanks for not posting the one where the guy tries slashing a truck tire :( want to unsee (ages ago)
Bicycle tires are generally at a higher pressure than car tires. There's a lot less volume though.
