How come semi trucks in Europe look like “toot toot :)” and in North America they look like “HONK HOOOOOOOONK >:|”

@trainwreckgenerator why did you hide these in the tags

This suggests that Maximum Overdrive was Jurassic Park for motor vehicles.

I’m sorry, but that is misleading as hell. American and European trucks are bred for different purposes.

American trucks are bred for long hauls on largely straight roads. They can go for hours without a break. A European truck needs more breaks and a lighter load, and they would indeed take great internal damage if they tried to keep up with the Longsnout.

The European Shortsnout is not bred for looks, but for agility! They navigate the windy roads of Europe in a way that would be way too risky for the powerful, but more clumsy American truck. It is true that the European overheats faster at high speeds, that is the very reason that breaks every 4,5 hours are mandatory for both the truck and the handler and a day of driving can never be longer then 9 hours.

So, all in all, appreciate all of our trucks and our shared history, and be the responsible owner that gets the right breed for the right job.

To be fair, the US does have shortnose trucks as well, they’re just a breed kept mainly for very local work where, like the above says, they are working in places with lots of turns, shorter drives, and plenty of stops. I see them used for garbage pickup a lot, where a longnosed Mack wouldn’t be able to fit much less maneuver, and the short nose prevents them from getting rubs (raw skin or even open sores) on their snouts.

I would also like to point out that the tags have got it backwards. The wild trucks (which I’m pretty sure are extinct in the wild now) that all modern breeds stemmed from were shortnose trucks. We had known about automobiles and domesticated several species, but the truck species was not discovered until close to the start of the 1900’s, in Germany, which I BELIEVE was the first country to breed them in captivity, although England was the first country to really start using them for work. I managed to find a photo of taxidermied specimen

As you can see, it resembles both long and short nosed breeds, as well as the far more common house truck used by individuals instead of for commercial work.

As to the aggression, while the mack longnose LOOKS aggressive, they’re generally gentle giants (although please do give them space on the road! not seeing you in their blind spot is NOT the same as aggression!), it is actually the smaller house truck that is often trained by their handler to be aggressive: the keyword being TRAINED, they are also not naturally aggressive. The only time I have seen a mack be commonly aggressive is when they are pulling 2 gravel trailers, and I would be cranky if I was being overworked, too. If you see them hauling that kind of load, just give them space, and you’ll be fine.

I feel like somebody should add something about the Australian variants.

[nudityandnerdery]

Does anyone know if/how American School Busses are related to trucks? 

Pics for reference:

The classic long-nose schoolbus

But short-nose varieties exist, I remember when they first started appearing in my district!

[kedreeva]

@dreorzen While school buses ARE in the automobile order, they are actually part of the Van family, not the Truck family, due to their passenger capacity. As you can see in the photos, they have no cargo bed or hookup, and are not really built for object transport. But they DO excel at carrying passengers, particularly children (although certainly not limited to just children)

They’re known to be exceptionally protective of any passengers, and if you look closely on that second image you can actually see a specialized appendage that is (I think) unique to school buses- a small, red, octagonal fan, which they extend when there are small creatures around them that they are acquiring or releasing. Much like an angler fish’s bioluminescent bulb appendage, this fan (along with several bioluminescent patches on top of their faces and on their hindquarters) works to mesmerize any other vehicles in close proximity, to where those vehicles will cease movement until the bus lowers the fan. It’s super fascinating behavior, and little wonder why we trust our children to these gentle, protective giants.

[dirtydragonthoughts]

Don’t forget about the bus trucks.

While these vehicles can sometimes be bred by accident (after all, who hasn’t accidentally left the gate open when your school bus is in season), they are usually bred for specific purposes.

These hybrids are bred for both their cargo capacity and their gentle temperments. Especially in a farm setting, there’s a need for many different kinds of vehicles, some of which sometimes don’t get along. Having a vehicle with both the strength and capacity of a large work truck with the amiable nature of a school bus can be a real benefit.

It’s a little unfortunate that these hybrids tend to be sterile, though, since it would be easier if they’d breed true. Also, something to keep in mind… bus trucks are bred from a bus.

Truck buses are bred from a truck and… tend to not be quite as useful as bus trucks, although some people do like keeping truck buses for companionship and as show vehicles.

this is, honest to god, one of the funniest ads ive seen in a long time.

[crazykuroneko]

In response to Slate's article on the possibility having non-heteromative team in figure skating (particularly, ice dance and pairs), Oniceperspective shared a glimpse of Gabriella Papadakis (FRA) and Madison Hubbell (USA) working on their same-sex program. You can see how they switch the leading figure between them.

You can see them trying out lifts in this video.

[mortalityplays]

you’re probably not sick like me so you’re not spectating the delusions but there are people publishing daily bulletins about their ‘progress’ to manifest a cancelled tv show back into reality, and it includes things like “one of the actors posted a selfie today” and “an intern at a content farm wrote a blog article about it”

[mortalityplays]

the most jaw droppingly pathetic thing going on right now is that they have established a ‘fandom partnership’(????) with the company astroglide, because an enterprising social media person noticed that this fandom is full of suggestible idiots with too much money and a hyperfixation on the basic concept of gay sex.

what is a fan partnership, you ask? well it’s nothing, it’s made up, but functionally it means they are rallying around a brand and doing insane shit like fanfiction product placement out of sheer gratitude for this marketing person pretending to watch their show and saying “oh my godddd 😭 the feefees are so real 😳 👀 edward teach if he was alive in 2024: pass the Astroglide®! 🤣🥵”

look at this. I have never seen a fandom so hungry to be taken advantage of.

[mortalityplays]

they’re literally cutting ads for this company 💀

[mortalityplays]

everyone in the comments is flipping out with excitement that this person was bestowed the honour of…handing out free product samples for a brand at a convention

“You wouldn’t ask you to file your taxes” she is the PRINCESS she doesn’t have to do taxes!

Kit Tanthalos' most dangerous quest: filing paperwork. Like Elora and co. have somehow gotten themselves arrested for an extremely dumb thing (probably touching something shiny) and they can't cause an Incident by just fighting their way into the prison so Kit has to go through the local bureaucracy. It's the Jupiter Ascending scene where Mila Kunis has to file papers but with Kit and Jade and Kit's like "But they said I just bring form 12-a here" and they're like "You need judiciary filings" and she's like "this IS judiciary filings" and they're like "can you read this is the forms for judiciary filings line" and Jade has to pull her back from pulling her sword and diving over the barrier. She'd be begging to be allowed to do some light stabbing and Jade would be massaging her enormous migraine going "NO stabbing."

[swashbucklery]

See, I feel like Kit is one of those people who is like. Terrible at doing mundane things 95% of the time, but in an emergency a part of her brain wakes up and she can become, for a moment, a paperwork savant.

Like, navigating the Fantasy DMV on a normal day? She somehow ends up in jail for being bad at forms.

Navigating the Fantasy DMV because Jade is in peril and they might never make out again? Kit suddenly remembers just enough from her Princess Lessons to ask for exactly the right supervisor and somehow, miraculously, sweet-talks them into doing the thing.

[badlance]

I mean if it’s JADE in trouble Kit will activate like that scene in Futurama where Fry hits 100 cups of coffee and he enters a complete zen state and rescues everyone from a burning building. She would come out of it not remembering a thing about how she did it.

If it’s not Jade in trouble then Kit would make the situation worse by misspelling Boorman’s name on the form and Jade would have to physically remove her when a bureaucrat told her to go to the back of the line and redo all 17 pages of forms because otherwise Kit would also be in jail for assault, possibly murder.

Notwithstanding that actually in the show every single time Kit has tried to lead with talking out a solution, even if it was in an incredibly stupid way by revealing her identity to incredibly dangerous people. Like she actually is not a violence first sorta gal. But she is also not a patient one either and at some point she would absolutely propose simply fighting her way through the problem because talking has gotten nowhere.

Ohhhh no I was mostly joking in my head about Kit having a “break Jade in case of emergency” button that will get them out of a worst case scenario but also now I want the scenario where someone wants Kit to use the power of the cuirass to do something bad for them and she refuses and they threaten Jade and she Activates and is completely out of control from fear and anger and when she comes to maybe she has done some light Atrocities maybe not but Jade is safe and Kit is like I hate being a monster but I’ll be one if it means protecting you and Jade is like I’d rather die than see you lose yourself and then they touch each other’s faces very tenderly.
