Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Real life is so much brighter than this image shows

Every car is a raised SUV with sun gods for headlights

We need actual automative regulations

Having driven 3900 miles for the holidays to see family, 1000%. Regular lights (edit: on modern cars) are too intense but also when did the majority of drivers at night simply never turn off brights? It is fucking maddening!

Their "Safety for me but not for thee." is so incorrect. Everyone is less safe.

Half the time it’s their car auto activating brights

They’re supposed to have sensors that deactivate the brights if it sees oncoming light but they simply don’t work…

Otherwise it’s exactly as you say

Auto brights are so poorly coded, the managers who shipped those projects should be shot into the sun. But driving that long I had a lot of time to observe and ruminate. There are so many cars older than the industry's adoption of auto brights that I'm lead to believe that people just leave them on, period. No cop is going to pull anyone over for it so everyone just does it.

Cop probably cant tell the difference between a new car with normal headlights and an old car with their brights on

Why? He's blinded 😆

No, it’s always older cars like Civics, Corollas and Hyundais with older halogen headlights that are always driving with the high beams on. I flash so many of these morons.

Every car I've been in with them is overzealous in turning off to the point that they're useless with much traffic at all.

It's most likely not auto brights but humans not so brights

🤷‍♀️ My brother and dad both have cars that don't turn them off properly and they're different makes and models so I dunno

I've toyed with the idea of putting a light bar on the back of my sedan just so I can project the power of the sun back into those huge trucks and suvs that have lights mounted 5 feet up.

Rear fog lights do exist in plenty of models...

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Exactly, fucking sucks.

I hope every piece of shit who drives one of those is flayed alive and forced to eat its own fried testicles/labia
