You do know that's not the only car in the world with horns on it, right?

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I just think its funny that out of the vast number of horned vehicles that stampede through Texas I guess? You find a pic of one in Arizona.

It was literally the first image I saw and it was an example of what I meant. I really didn't think it was necessary to check the license plate design.

You lack observational skills, and attention to detail.

Or I just don't give a shit about figuring out a license plate that doesn't clearly stay what state it is on it when I want to explain what I mean by horns on a car. Why would I? Exactly how tight do you think my anal sphincter is?

Really? Because I'm not the one complaining that a car whose license plate doesn't make it clear what state it's from is wrong!

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Dude, it says Arizona on it. I ain't psychic, I didn't magically know what state it came from.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe in tiny letters on whatever giant monitor you have. On my 13" notebook, I don't see the word anywhere.

[–] Texas_Hangover@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm on a phone homie. You got shitty eyesight?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My eyesight is fine. I still don't see the word.

Holy shit, I had to zoom way in and the letters are half-covered.

Why the hell you expected me to be able to see that without zooming in is beyond me. I do not believe for a second you could see that unzoomed on your phone.
