    In a tiny font on the back of the car? Like sure jerk off over your car knowledge but that’s the dumbest way to say “duhhh everyone should know every car make and model” I’ve ever heard

      Being mad about people knowing readily available information is a pretty dumb thing to be mad about.

        No, he’s mad at you claiming you can read text on a car 20m away, even though that text is so small, that no normal person can read it a few meters away unless you already know what it’s saying.

        So in essence, what you’re saying is not false, but the context makes it an obvious lie. Combined with the “hurr durr, I can read” subtext, it comes off as asshole behavior.

          Hur dur, I can read. It’s called walking by parked cars. I read it then and remember it when I’m driving. It’s really not hard. You guys being so ignorant comes off as asshole behavior.

            Not remembering random husks of metal on the street isn’t ignorance, it’s called “not being into cars”. I know that’s really hard to understand for some people, but for a significant chunk of the population cars don’t matter at all.

            And if you can’t understand that your interests are not universal, that’s kind of the definition of ignorance.

              Random hunks of metal on the street? These streets are fucking made for those hunks of metal and entire cities designed around them. There are like 50 total models in any given country, we’re not over here reading car encyclopedias for fun facts, we have just seen the same 50 “random hunks of metal” and remembered the most common 20.

                Yeah, me knowing model names is more a product of the system we live in rather than my interest in cars. I’m more interested in the mechanics and engineering behind cars than cars themselves. But that could be said for a lot of things.

              I’m not into cars, I just read things and start associating their names to the objects. Not fucking hard. You assuming that I like something just because I can read and name it is very ignorant. Or is that just something you do, avoid reading and learning what things are called just because you don’t like them.

              Maybe if you weren’t such a condescending asshole you’d realize that we share the same disinterest in “random husks of metal” that are major impacts to global warming and micro plastics.

              You don’t have to be into them to recognize some of the distinctions of something so ubiquitous. They’re all over the place, and have a huge impact on your life, whether you’re interested or not.

              I’m not into birds, those pesky disgusting rats with wings, but they’re all over the place. I’m occasionally aware enough to recognize some of their differences and be able to identify a few types on sight. And they don’t even have the species marked anywhere I can read to feedback to improve my knowledge

              Don’t you want some warning whether a particular one is more likely to poop on you or steal your sandwich?

        Literally the only part I was okay with was you knowing it. Congratulations! Acting smug that others don’t is what makes you unbearable.

          Maybe pay attention to the world around you. It’s literally readily available information that you can see with your own eyes. I’m not a car guy but I can remember reading things I see. Congratulations, you’re the asshole!

      I can read it because I’m tailgating them in city traffic on my bicycle.

        A great example where it would be incredibly useful to recognize a Deisel vs EV: which exhaust would you rather inhale?
