Honestly it’s only because dipping your fingers into your drink just seems kinda gross, and with a fork you can fully soak the Oreo.

……I like cookies 😁🍪

Thank you for proving my original comment.

Someone seems upset.

What solutions are you formulating and implementing? And which ones am I in the way of by commenting on a lemmy post?

Clearly you have all the answers. Teach me, o wise one.

There’s that division I mentioned.

One more way to keep us all divided and distracted from the real shit going on.

My opinion? We aren’t collectively pissed off about it enough.

88 Million Americans who were eligible to vote this year didn’t. That’s about 1/3 of all eligible voters, and almost 1/4 of the entire US population.

People are broke, tired, busy, and don’t perceive what happens in government or corporations as a direct threat. They don’t have the time, energy or capacity to care enough to pay attention.

This is by design, so I’m not sure what the solution is beyond get MAD and get everyone else around you to be MAD. We outnumber them, and they don’t want us to realize it.

You can also just dunk the Oreo and fish it out with the fork ;)

Bonus: the fork can be used to weigh down the Oreo so you can get all the air bubbles out.

Damn you might be right.

The Lorax really needs a comeback in society right about now.

Specifically this version.

I like to put a fork through the filling and dip so I can eat the whole cookie without any dry parts or putting my fingers in the milk, what does that make me?

Al does so much work to understand the subjects of his videos that this song not only still slaps but some of the tech terms are still surprisingly relevant. Dude really respects the art form and all aspects of his parodies.

“You’re just about as useless as JPEGs to Helen Keller” is one of the sickest burns I’ve ever heard.

Even Pied Piper didn’t scale.

Not arguing that. Electronic door releases are nice but complicate things in an emergency.

I’m not defending the design or placement, just pointing out it’s there and that the driver should know what’s in their car.

And IMO, it’s on them to inform passengers.

As I’ve said with others here multiple times, I think the larger issue you’re touching on is valid, but also not exclusively a Tesla issue. Every manufacturer has a different way of invoking an emergency manual door release in recent cars, EV and ICE. Maybe that should be standardized across the board?

I agree, but considering every manufacturer decides to redesign emergency open mechanisms for their own products I feel like the bigger issue here is a lack of standardization. This is not uniquely a Tesla problem.

Some cars require you to pull the handle twice.

Some require you to do it with force.

Others have a secondary mechanism.

They’re all different.

Not going to defend the design or their way of doing things. All I pointed out in my previous comment to that effect was that the safety mechanism does exist, and ultimately it is on the driver to understand the safety features present in their vehicle.

Omg that’s so dumb. I don’t have one so wasn’t aware there were some models without. How tf is that legal

Yeah not going to defend the design just wanted to be clear it’s there and works. It’s not hard to see or feel around for but yes you need to know where it is and how to use it before it’s beneficial. Though to be fair that’s true of any feature or car.

I once had a VW that had a special way of opening the regular door latch in order to engage the emergency latch, if you didn’t know how to do it, it wouldn’t work and wouldn’t be helpful. Some make you pull the handle twice.

Maybe a larger problem is this stuff isn’t very standardized to look/work the same across all models so everyone reinvents critically important safety features.

I did not mean to suggest the victims in the article did not know what they were doing, just that you should probably get familiar with your vehicle’s safety features before driving it regularly. Of course that’s contingent on them being there and functional.

It’s possible they tried and it didn’t work apologies if it seems like I was trying to suggest that it’s their fault, I was speaking more to car owners in general than the subjects of the article.
