Gotta get some hype music for the ass whooping you're about to bring.

[–] Longpork3@lemmy.nz 38 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Name your playlist. 'X Gon give it to ya' is definitely on there somewhere.

I was going to say yes and make a joke about song choice, but then realized that if this were actually happening then I'd probably be too distraught and focused on getting to her to queue up a sound track so was going to say no, but then I realized in my distraught state focing on getting to my kidnapped wife I probably wouldn't bother to turn off the radio which is always on by default in my car... so basically, yes, I'd be listening to the local radio station at a moderate volume.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 24 points 7 months ago

That's OK. The local radio is playing Knights of Cidonia and a recent gust short circuited the volume control.

Yes, the doom soundtrack is on blast and I'm prepping my line that I will mess up and get me killed.

Kicks down door

Life is not an action movie. If that actually happened I wouldn't be blindly throwing myself in the middle of a group of armed/dangerous guys. I'd be calling the cops (they're more trained than I am to handle the situation) and freak out hoping nothing bad happens to her.

Whoa bold assumption there bud. You might want to recheck your math on that one.

In America you just stop by the next gas station and buy a ton of explosives and a machine gun with 30 filled magazines. Then you grab a jerrycan of gasoline and some lighters and the cashier wishes you a nice evening on your party.

[–] Xantar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 7 months ago

We don't have guns where I'm from, and I don't have a car. So I'm more likely to get myself killed.

No no I'm pretty sure the math maths out.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So, even in your fantasies you're ineffective and reliant?

Nah I chat with the other people in the car.

Listen I’m down to risk my life to save my wife, but I’m getting a gang together to do it. Going alone is suicide

I'd probably have an audiobook going. Then when I got there, I would probably have to sit in the car for a few minutes to get to a good stopping point. I'm sure the kidnappers would understand.

LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR!!!!

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 14 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Neither. I'd call the police, they have the experts. We have reliable police here.

Excuse you, I'm driving a rescue mission with my windows UP.

And the AC is BLASTING.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

AC is BLASTING

Blast the DC too

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

it's charging my phone

[–] calabast@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago

"So anyways I started blastin' [the AC]"

[–] ReakDuck@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Nope, conzentration at such stressful situations is important. Also, your adrenaline spikes up making you not even want to have music.

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack

I'd stop for trash bags and stuff on the way. My wife is the one they should be afraid of.

Yeah man, I'm cranking Bulls on Parade while I do air punches and load my pistol.

Edit: maybe followed up with some Real Muthaphuckkin G's.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, I wouldn’t listen to music any other time I’m driving so it would be weird to start then

Music is fine when not driving

I could drive to a park then put on the classical radio station while I sit there

Lose yourself - Eminem and let the bodies hit the floor…ok I guess 2 songs

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (3 children)

If my phone's in Bluetooth range, music is going to automatically start playing at high volume in about 10s anyway, because that's always how I last existed the car.

Coincidentally my wife hates it because when she gets in the car to leave, it still gets connection to my phone in the house and starts blaring hard rock, psychedelic rock, journey trance, or syntheave.

No. If I'm going somewhere to save someone, I don't want my presence to be openly announced to everyone by having my music blaring, especially not some kidnappers. I'd want to be as quiet as possible, whether that's on the way there or while dealing with kidnappers. I'm not smart enough to know what I shouldn't end up saying and who knows if the info I blab about could be used against me in some way, so shutting up would be the best solution.

[–] azalty@jlai.lu 8 points 7 months ago

Put some synthwave and sunglasses for immersion

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Of course not.

What are you, crazy?

I'd be listening to NPR.

Nope I'd be too busy getting into The Transporter mindset to fiddle with the radio. I may be an audiophile, but I'm a driver first and foremost and I have my priorities. Seconds count in a scenario such as this one.

[–] Harbinger01173430@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 7 points 7 months ago

Nope, it would just be a distraction as I call the police.

[–] cmrn@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago

Do you think I can just pull up to a kidnapping not prepped with the right music? I’d get kidnapped too.
