Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I just bought a Toyota and they locked a lot of features behind an app with a monthly fee, absolute fucking pricks. The whole auto industry is going to shit.
Seeing as cars and computers are increasingly shared platforms, where is the car-hacking community? As distinct from the car-optimizing or car-modding communities.

"Hack the planet"
You wouldn't download ecologically friendly things!?
Modern cars, I think because of safety laws and "trade secrets", can be quite a pain the reverse engineer. It's notoriously difficult to even interface with any of the chips in any of the onboard computers in the first place, let alone reverse engineer what's going on and modify it. On top of that some car companies, like Toyota, are starting to add HMACs to all the messages they send on the CAN bus, so even if you did figure out everything, unless you get the signing keys every message will be ignored. On top of that, it'll void your warrant, which I know some people don't care about, but for a new car that you are having to depend on, its another hurdle.
Join and/or fund Right to Repair advocacy organizations people. For my fellow Canadians: check out CanRepair, they are currently registering members and will have their first ever AGM March 18

Just buy an old Japanese Honda or Toyota and keep it running forever. No one needs a "new" cat at this point.
Edit: car not cat but leaving it for lols.
Fr, they scratch up your furniture too
Doh!
I can deal with ad when watching TV or YouTube. But ads in the car, even while stopped, is just begging for someone to get killed. Will never even consider getting a jeep. I'm probably gonna have to get a new car in a couple of years and I want something new, but dumb. I want as little smart shit as possible, which is probably not going to be a thing.

i can't! i really hate ads, they're so loud and obnoxious, they're like jump scares every time they come on! ugh! this car would be like my idea of a nightmare!
Those are full page ads with audio. It's amazing how you can disregard that.
I use ad breaks in vids to answer texts/emails or take a piss or whatever. Intrusive ads that take up entire pages on a site are the worst tho. Those can fuck off.

The ads aside, nothing from the Stellantis family should be on your radar anyway

There’s still Caterhams and Ginettas.
Although on second thoughts they’re probably not allowed in a country where the inhabitants can’t be trusted with a Kinder surprise egg.
Agreed. Designing in a feature that presents users with something that's deliberately designed to be as distracting and attention grabbing as possible during a time when they should have their undivided attention on driving is asking for trouble.
On that note, LED billboards run up along the side of roads should be illegal and at very least have dimmers to prevent them from blinding drivers at night.

Turning everything you use into a fucking ads platform is peak capitalism. Burn it with fire.
everything you ~~use~~ own
Consumer already paid for the damn vehicle. At least market that ad-bullshit as the cheaper freemium rental version and offer a no ads purchase version... They are not at all thinking about the consumer, only about filling their ever growing pockets.
Stellantis? More like Stale Anus
We need laws on how intrusive ads are allowed to be. Advertising is out of control. Personally, whenever I see an ad too many times, I make sure to avoid purchasing that item or anything from that company. You're trying too hard to sell me junk.
"how intrusive" ?
We need laws to ban any sort of tracking, profile generation, etc.
Bring back contextual ads. If I'm on a gaming website show me a gaming ad ffs.

The best thing about Saint Luigi is that one doesn't have to endorse an incel eco-fascist like Teddy K to call for "direct action."
"Wanna be furious every time you stop?"
"BUY A JEEP."
*BONUS ongoing electrical problems AND rust
It really makes me sad, jeeps used to be awesome till Chrysler started getting bought out, around 2000. It was like when the AMC 4.0 and the Chrysler 318 went, so went Jeep.
Yes, they are inefficient, and slow, that's not the point, you could offroad in a ZJ with 250k miles on it and be ok.
Careful with ol Ted there, all his good points were accidental, dude bombed university offices because he heard a plane fly over in the woods.
Is this real? I'd jail break my car immediately if this happened.
I'd take it back and demand a full refund. This is a dangerous, irresponsible product that does not fulfil the purpose it was marketed for.
No. Demand a cut of the ad revenue as they are using your property as a billboard.
But I don't want the ad revenue. I want my car not to advertise to me.

Everytime
Not a word. Nice journalism grad.
I'm seeing very simple grammatical mistakes in articles more and more. It's bizarre. Even if the author makes a mistake, where are the editors? Do we have a shortage of English majors somehow?

What is and is not a word? If it's being used by writers, and is understood by readers, it kinda is a word.
Linguistics is a desceiptive field, not a prescriptive one.
I thonk this one is pretty forgivable. Everytime should be a word imo. It has a lot more justification than some of the words that have recently been added and accepted into common use and vernacular. Everywhere, everyone, everyday, everybody are all words and set a hell of a precedent. How is everytime different, besides being a poster word for pedants to pick at.

It ain't right.
But i also don't get why people are still buying Jeeps? Most cursory search while doing research for a new vehicle should bring up red flags quick.
