It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

but they do happen

yeah but like what if limiters were a thing?

and it's best to have people safe tbh

I guarantee you the safety win from everybody being 10mph slower is gonna be order of magnitudes bigger than whatever hypothetical you could use 10mph more, statistically

i would never trust a car manufacturer's software that's designed to brick itself to not fuck up when someone's doing 60 on a motorway tbh

You're gonna run out of options soon enough here, modern cars already have things of this nature in them because they don't work without a load of software helping you out and many won't start if they think something is wrong, roll-over prevention on larger vehicles for example. Sometimes even down to stuff like tyre pressure sensors.

It's not like I don't see your point here in some way, but that's not a problem specific to speed limiters and if you draw the line there you'd have to reinvent the whole approach to it anyways. God knows I'm not opposed to it.
