Just imagine if there was a unit of measure shown as well
/s
I thought they were trying to get them in sequence - 93,94,95,96 or something…
For the love of God man, live stream it so we can all share in the glorious moment of triumph!
And have another video of an exploding tire that blows a guy to pieces? Yeeeeiiiii
No not another exploding tire video!
Yes, and another and another AND ANOTHER!
STOP. CENSORING. EVERY. FUCKING. SWEAR!!!
sorry thats not a censor, i just accidentally came on the screen a bit
holy fucking shit i fucking angree
same shit woth “sex”, “porn” and so on
I fucking r*fuse!
Woah woah woah there pal, we don’t even say sw–r around these parts, that’s too far! If you’re going to censor an image at least do it right. smh /j
Now hang on, you can’t expect us to actually admit what we’re doing here.
Wow this guy used the hard R
Stop telling people how to write if I want to add an * to a word I fucking will do. Sometimes I find it adds something to the word like highlights this is a strong word. Y’all are some basic b*tches complaining about dumb stuff all the fucking time.
Get a grip ya silly c*nt.
It’s particularly infuriating when the censor doesn’t even inhibit the ability to read the word. Like, a child can still figure out what that says.
lemmy.ml (used to?) automatically replace “bitch” with
*removed*. I’d see people call themselves a “basic removed” or say “removed please” and it was very confusing. it applied to every message.“cunt” wasn’t censored, though? or maybe they removed the filter at some point.
I’m not a tankie so I left and never looked back.
seems like they still do
It’s a bit confusing because this is an image and not the text itself.
Ridiculous that we can have people pushing challenges that cause harm, telling you the earth is flat, that trump is god emperor, or that autism is easy to cure. Those garbage posts go crazy. But if you swear some algorithms lower your visibility and certain words get your posts hidden or banned.
That’s fucked up.
one of these annoys everyone, while the other creates content for me to enjoy
most fascists don’t call themselves fascists. so YouTube censoring the word “fascist” tends to muzzle people calling out fascists, not the fascists themselves. it vexes me.
Working as intended! POSIWID in action
It’s an easy way to test your censorship algorithms. People swear all the time. It’s also a message to “think what you’re saying before posting” which is great because the best censorship is self censorship. By “great” I mean it’s essential for fascism. Control how people speak, it makes you control how they think, then you control how they act.
That’s why we should not crosspost from other filthy, corrupted, centralised, properitary and corporate controlled platforms. I wish cross-platform posts were banned in this comm. Or an alternative existed. But Alas…
Solution everyone will love: AI image generators that uncensor posts automatically.
Unfortunately, if you want censoring to stop, we have to stop letting our lives be ruled by algorithms.
Lemmy uses an open one though and isnt it just based on upvotes and time?
Is there any way to subscribe to posts upvoted by specific Lemmy users?
holy shπ
F*cking right, these sh*t sucking c*nts, censoring every tw*t spanking bast*rd w*nker who s*dding censors their own bl**dy sp*nking, comments.
G*sh
Fl*ps
M*nge
FOAMY GUSHING CUNT!Lot of people been asking me why my voice beeps all the f**king time. The Torgue shareholders wired my voicebox with a digital censor, so I can’t say stuff like S**t c**k p***y or f**kin-d**kballs. That’s like half my vocabulary, it’s goddamn bulls**t!!
But that might scare away advertisers…
For the non car-folks in this thread :
Normal tire pressure is about 30-40 PSI and a bad rupture can kill you or break your bones even at that pressure if you’re standing next to the tire.
This person has just installed four bombs on their vehicle that will go off at the slightest inconvenience. A 90 PSI car tire is an imminent risk of death to the driver and everyone around them. Do not let your friends or family do this.
It’s 110-120 for semi trucks. Just a note to not linger by their tires. Blowouts are statistically uncommon, but there’s a lot of trucks out there
Had a coworker who was riding a motorcycle on the highway by a semi when the tire next to her blew out. She ended up dropping the bike and sliding along the road. Fortunately she was covered head to toe in protective gear, but it’s still amazing that she wasn’t seriously injured.
I know someone who was in a car next to a semi when the tire blew. It instantly triggered the airbags, the force dented the passenger side door inwards and shattered the window. The car was a total financial loss.
Did the truck stop and take responsibility? Or maybe they didn’t even know?
Myth busters episode sticks out in my mind on this one
There are a lot of tragic stories of people that had the idea “I’ll slash the tires to this trucker to teach him a lesson” but instead they got a physics lesson
About fifteen years ago I was overtaking a truck on the motorway when one of its tyres exploded. Took out one of my side windows. The haulage company dealt with it well but I got the impression it wasn’t the first time they’d had to fix that specific issue.
Rubber tires that size are a safety hazard and should not be permitted. Transportation vehicles should have metal wheels instead that can’t rupture. Of course, our current asphalt roads couldn’t support this kind of metal-wheeled vehicle, but if we put them on some sort of rail we could solve that problem.
Yeah they happen with enough regularity that companies aren’t surprised, especially if they have a lot of trucks.
So the smart move as a car-driver is not to linger by the tires ever. Really, just never linger by them.
I just hate being near those things in general. Pass as quick as possible and create some space.
People behind wondering why you’re allowing a couple carlengths gap “ahead” of the semi (but in your lane) as you prepare to swiftly pass it, try watching some YouTube silly!
That’s just what you’re supposed to do, what if the semi has to swerve or there’s heavy wind
Drivers’ Ed ain’t teaching the people right huh
I had a retread blow out on my panel truck while peeing into a soft drink cup. Middle of the night in the middle of nowhere Indiana
I’ve been driving a truck for 8 years. Never had a tire blow out myself, but have seen it happen in front of me. It is easy to loose control of the wheel when that happens.
Do y’all retread? Like gluing new treads I think it is IIRC—IDK if that’s as common today as it was 20 years ago
Mine was a trailer tire on a triaxle. I still had 11 tires back there, so it was easy to find a safe spot to stop. I got lucky n that way.
And is there non-deadly way of disarming those bombs then?
Here is an excellent answer for anyone asking how to deal with over-inflated tires. It should be weighted above other answers.
The car tires are too dangerous to be deflated, or even taken off the car. Your only safe solution is to snipe the tires with a long-range rifle. Also shoot the spare, if possible. Once all tires have been eliminated, you may approach the car and remove them. Check your wheel wells for damage before installing the new tires.
Make sure to get the the dead limbs off it too they can poke ya
If it were up to me to do so, I’d remove the valve core to let the tire vent some pressure. Might still recommend some safety glasses for it though because if you don’t have a good grip on that core it’s going to fire itself out of the valve stem like an air rifle pellet.
If you don’t have a valve core removal tool then you can also just press down on the tip of the valve core with a small screwdriver or something, but you might be risking some damage to the core doing that, and you’re going to be sitting there an awful long time listening to it psssshhhh its way back down to 30. Even if you do damage the core it’s nothing that isn’t fixable at a tire shop though.
DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE VALVE CORE AT THOSE PRESSURES.
Just do the push thing. One slip and that core at best is lost at worst injures you or a bystander. They are finicky as hell when you get to the last few threads.
Also, the higher the pressure is, the faster it will deflate. It won’t take that long. Plus, if you do decide to pull the core. At 90psi air rushing out from a small orifice like that is loud enough to cause hearing damage.
Slow controled release of pressures is the standard procedure for any pressure vessel. Be it a tire at 90psi, a radiator at 15psi, hydraulic excavator at 5000psi, or a fuel injection pump at 30,000psi.
This is good advice.
I didn’t figure 90PSI to be all that dangerous, we use a cheetah tank at my job sometimes for seating tires and that fires at 120PSI, but it’s through a much larger orifice - so it wouldn’t be as loud as through the valve stem. Losing the valve core is also a real possibility.
I, a professional dumbass and mechanic, would probably pull the cores at any pressure up to but definitely not exceeding 100, and may very well regret my decision to do so. Any normal people who value their safety and don’t deal with tires on a daily basis, and don’t have a stash of a thousand spare valve stems 20 feet away, should exercise more caution.
Thanks for calling me out on that, I probably don’t respect lowish high pressures as much as I should. I’ll try to keep an eye on that (from behind my safety glasses).
Yeah, I learned the hard way about pressures and what they can do. Not as hard as others mind you.
I started as a mechanic. Used to have a blast with the cheetah. Hell, I used one to clear out a blocked storm drain one time. That was hella fun. I do a lot of hydraulics now. Around the 90-100psi, you start to run the risk of injection injury, too. Not likely but possible. That’s why they have the safety tips on the blow guns. If the back pressure builds up over 25psi or something, the rubber let’s off and let’s the air by pass. Had a co worker loose a thumb with a paint sprayer. Got to close with the hand he had thick ass leather gloves too. Unlucky I wasn’t there when it happened. probably could have saved it if I rushed him off the e.r sooner but he didn’t know then what hydraulic injection is about and brushed it off. He showed me the next day and told me about it. Boy I near threw him over my shoulder and dragged him to get there faster.
^ great response too
You may also want to push on the valve-stem push valve with a “jesus stick”. This is literally “I wouldn’t touch that with a ten-foot-pole” territory, so go find an eleven foot one with a sharp point at the end.
Who da heck is downvoting this? This is the correct way to do it.
Somebody doesn’t like wearing their PPE and hasn’t lost any eyes or fingers yet about it
90-100psi is actually around the max rating for a lot of tires, and those ratings are usually made with a margin of error.
While it’s definitely not good, I don’t think it’s necessarily the dire threat you’re portraying.
Not sure which type you might be talking about, but all the tires I’ve ever seen for passenger cars have 50psi for their max
I’d be fucking nervous approaching 40.
I pump my bike up to 60, they are rated for up to 65 so I go a little under
My old work van ran 80 psi tires. They looked very much like passenger car tires but I assume they were different. I was surprised when I first looked it up.
It also massively reduces contact with the road.
My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.
Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.
If it blows itself off the car during travel because you hit a pothole the wrong way, it is definitely a dire risk to life and limb. It’s less about the impact of the tire itself at that point and more about the fact that you’re basically guaranteed to suddenly swerve off the road.
Yeah but they would be hot rating.
Cold ratings are usually lower.
Then they hear up on the road
On my 3/4 ton work truck, my tires max at 80psi and I fill them to 60psi. BFG A/TS.
Different tires have different specs. For instance my spare is supposed to be inflated to 90psi.
Is that on the door or side of tire?
80 on the tire side wall, 60 on the door
Tires will have max pressure rating.
Door will have recommended pressures for the vehicle.
But you may want to encourage your enemies to do this.
PSI stands for percentage of safe inflation
I’ve never had a car tire pop but I have had a bike tire pop and it is alarming to say the least.
Bicycle tires are generally at a higher pressure than car tires. There’s a lot less volume though.
It gets far worse every couple psi. This was likely 10-20 imagine 50+
I’ve seen truck tires explode with people literally being blown away, not something you walk away from
This guy likely will need hearing aides
Other day, noticed a digital air pump warned not to be near the tire while inflating… oof!! Poor guy
Also thanks for not posting the one where the guy tries slashing a truck tire :( want to unsee (ages ago)
…Thanks for reminding me of that one :(
That’s one lucky motherfucker, look at what it did to the front wing.
Doesn’t look like his ears were lucky, but yeah, it exploded vertically lucky for him. But God, imagine the destruction a 90 psi tire would do. Fucking crater where you and the car were.
Big tire(1550lbs/703kg) with big pressure(150psi). That cage is 820lbs/372kg. That is a staggering amount of energy.
Edit: full video
Super high pressure tires are supposed to be taken off and filled inside a tire cage for this reason. There are videos, I remember one where a guy had his clothes blown off, others not so lucky.
Damn, imagine getting the food wars treatment via tire. Shits scary. If only we could design a small, portable, two wheeled vehicle that wouldn’t splode so dangerously.
Widow maker.
Tires are the enemy.

100 psi = 6.89475729 Bar
Wow, everyone should be using metric, this is so much easier!
are you stupid or sarcastic?
Stucastic! I knew it!
pheww i thought i was talking to an american for a sec
I was also confused about this, and started to make a comment about it, then I remembered that this post is on the Shitposting community, and dropped it
yes
Or 689kpa.
The unit of pressure in the SI is, in fact, the pascal. 100 psi = 689.5 kPa. For whatever reason we use bars for the tyres, tho. My car tyres run at 2.3 bar, which is a nice and easy number to remember not like the equivalent 33.358679678 psi, so ugly and difficult.
Yeah seriously with 100 psi it’s all zeros after the decimal. Look how precise you can get when you convert to bar.
6 bar is 87.022642638 psi. What’s your point? Metric is superior in every way. Nearly the entire world was smart enough to come to that conclusion.
You might be missing a few decimal points there. It’s not precise enough.
I’d argue it’s inferior for estimating by eye and dividing in half.
Jesus. My bike tires have less than that.
I think race bicycles are around 6-7 bars. Is there a risk there?
Thin tires get high pressures to account for narrow points of contact. Tires are designed with this in mind. Now picture putting 6 bars in a fat tire, that bike won’t be happy.
Much smaller tire, and so much less stored energy
They’re made for those pressures. Most normal car tires aren’t.
winners never quit
Me, a road cyclist: “I don’t see what the problem is. Aren’t car tires also rated up to 110?”
Have you tried “fix a flat” ? Sometimes it takes a couple of cans per tire.
Mechanics everywhere are gonna hunt you down for this one.
Everybody knows you use nitrogen to get to 100
