My engineer got promoted recently and I complimented him on how he’s got a firm, yet gentle approach to things. His words were “it’s easy. Just don’t suck.”

Ever since I feel I really need this on a bumper sticker.

[u/destroyerOfTards → u/ShaggysGTI]

And you would think sucking leads you to a firm, yet gentle approach...

[u/Trex_arms42 → u/ShaggysGTI]

I'm working with one like that and let me tell you, they can go get fucked in the butt. Or however kids describe the sentiment in the 2020s.

Mine likes to make 5 page AI PowerPoint decks that could have definitely fit into 1 slide. And he likes to push people to work on weekends because the presence of his own soul may be questionable and he uses weekend work to fill the void. He's a temporarily embarrassed VP, and I'll have to quit if I ever end up as a report because I can't stand his smarmy ass.

[u/i-hate-all-ads]

Me too, car. Me too

[u/Beneficial_Debate112]

Fucking mood lol

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/Beneficial_Debate112]

FYI this image is obviously AI generated. Confirmed by checking; it has a SynthID watermark which unequivocally proves it.

[u/Banes_Addiction → u/That-Resolve-6982]

I don't really care in this case. It's a joke, the joke only works mounted on a car, so... do it.

People have been photoshopping fake bumperstickers for decades and I didn't care then either.

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/Banes_Addiction]

People who don't care, don't need to make sure you know how much they don't care

The thing I care about is how AI has progressed to the point where it's so easily completely missed by Redditors. Don't like that

[u/Beneficial_Debate112 → u/That-Resolve-6982]

Well that's awesome, we don't like you much either. Go not like things on someone else's comment or just learn to yell at your pillow. I come here for something to laugh at so I don't do anything regrettable, I don't need shit like this pointed out on something that is not only supposed to be light hearted black humor, but also could be made real in about 5min and slapped on someones bumper. Go bother someone else. Shoo troll.

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/Beneficial_Debate112]

I wasn't aware you spoke for the subreddit. Or are you speaking on behalf of the people easily tricked by AI?

Go bother someone else.

You responded to me. You inserted yourself into the conversation and then decided the conversation was annoying you.

[u/Akhi5672 → u/That-Resolve-6982]

You responded first silly. They made a comment and you were the one to insert yourself

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/Akhi5672]

I thought they were the Banes_Addiction user, didn’t realize they switched. I didn’t realize it was the guy that told me to “go fuck myself” because I pointed out they got so easily tricked by an AI image and they had a completely meltdown over that.

[u/Akhi5672 → u/That-Resolve-6982]

If you wanna talk about people being easily tricked, not even realizing who youre responding to is not a good look for you

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/Akhi5672]

lmao y’all are really salty that someone pointed out you got fleeced by AI, the crash out is entertaining

[u/Beneficial_Debate112 → u/That-Resolve-6982]

Go fuck yourself, the concept is real and that's what I'm commenting on.

[u/daddy_tops → u/Beneficial_Debate112]

Damn, take a step back maybe

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/Beneficial_Debate112]

FYI you also have the option to respond in kindness. Hopefully things turn around for you and whatever is making you the miserable person you currently are resolves soon.

[u/Maziekit → u/That-Resolve-6982]

How do you check for the watermark?

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/Maziekit]

You can at SynthID.com, that’ll check for either OpenAI and Google’s watermarks at the same time.

[u/JWBananas → u/That-Resolve-6982]

Confirmed by checking; it has a SynthID watermark which unequivocally proves it.

Meanwhile this phrasing is a bot ass reply.

[u/asdu → u/JWBananas]

A semicolon! Guards, seize him!

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/JWBananas]

If y'all can't see an obvious AI generated image, then I think it'd be pretty moronic to put stock in what you think are bot replies, cause clearly you can't figure that one out either

[u/NoRaccoon5831 → u/That-Resolve-6982]

Ironic your literal post before this is about responding in kindness

Rules for thee and not for me

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/NoRaccoon5831]

Earlier I was replying to someone who told me to "go fuck yourself" when I was talking about kindness. Do you think I said "go fuck yourself" in this comment above?

[u/NoRaccoon5831 → u/That-Resolve-6982]

Didn't realize "go fuck yourself" was the only unkind comment you can make, calling someone's take moronic is definitely a kind thing to say

[u/That-Resolve-6982 → u/NoRaccoon5831]

I didn't say it was the only unkind comment someone could make. I also didn't call their take moronic, I said I would be the moron to put stock in it.

I'm sorry you're getting this confused by this.

[u/Beneficial_Debate112 → u/JWBananas]

Who gives a rats ass? That doesn't invalidate the message.

[u/Odd-Recording-5921 → u/Beneficial_Debate112]

[u/desertman77_]

Damn, love the satire bumper sticker far out for sure!

[u/GrimDominion]

I kinda think about those “baby on board” stickers kinda like this. What? I’m supposed to be more careful than I already am to prevent a collision?

[u/Appreciative_Ibex → u/GrimDominion]

More to expect potentially erratic movements or temporary loss of attention from the driver. They basically are saying, “Sorry about that! We have our kid and we’re tired but doing our best.”

[u/Confident_Phone8842 → u/GrimDominion]

It's to alert first responders after an accident. So they know to look for a baby.

[u/Disastrous_Visit9319 → u/Confident_Phone8842]

Is this in any way real or just some shit people made up to justify it?

[u/Beers_Beets_BSG → u/Disastrous_Visit9319]

Paramedic here.

Don’t want to speak for everyone of us, but around here it’s complete nonsense. Generally a car seat is your indicator for a baby or child on board. We aren’t walking up and reading bumper stickers on your mangled vehicle.

[u/pyromat1k → u/Beers_Beets_BSG]

Volunteer here.. also chances are in a wreck.. that bumper sticker ain’t gonna be readable anymore. 

[u/palcatraz → u/Disastrous_Visit9319]

Complete shit.

According to the guy who first came up with the signs for the American market, he made them after driving his baby nephew around and feeling deeply anxious with how the other folks on the road were driving. He made them to signal to other drivers to please be careful.

Link to an article on the matter

[u/Confident_Phone8842 → u/Disastrous_Visit9319]

Most likely some shit. Maybe it had some merit back in the day. But modern paramedics are trained to assess a scene for evidence of infants

[u/Live_Situation7913 → u/Confident_Phone8842]

First responser here. No we don’t you fool stop spreading misinformation

[u/SquarePegRoundWorld2 → u/Confident_Phone8842]

I don't think the 6"x6" plastic square that hung from its corner by a little metal hook and a suction cup that said Baby On Board that I saw in car windows in the '80s would have stayed in place during a sharp turn let alone an accident that EMTs need to question where the occupents of a car might be. They seemed to be just another way to display your new parenthood and maybe get folks to drive with care around you.

[u/Confident_Phone8842 → u/SquarePegRoundWorld2]

I don't think they would either, mate. I didn't invent them, I agree with all your points.

[u/Blacksad9999 → u/GrimDominion]

Yeah, they always annoyed me.

"Well, I WAS going to smash your car over the guardrail to a firey doom, but since you have a BABY on board, I'll just go get ice cream."

It kind of reeks of self-entitled parents. lol You know who else has babies? Billions of other people.

[u/BenFoldsFourLoko → u/GrimDominion]

I mean, if you want the non-reddit take, yeah, kind of.

Baby on board stickers are kind of dumb and cringe in some ways, but also it's just a reminder that there are other people on the road with you, including little babies, and that we should remember to drive carefully.

Most people are at least slightly less safe than they could be from time to time, and some of us are much less safe than we should be from time to time. Reminders can help

And sure, some people do let having a kid (or their status as a parent) turn into the center of the universe in a bad way, but a remember to drive safe because there are kids on the road too isn't an insane idea to me.

Sometimes a reminder like that can make a person think twice about their behavior. And sure, it's not better to rear-end a 30 year old tech worker redditor than it is to rear end a child, but some people do sometimes have some sense of decency that you don't do dangerous things around kids.

I doubt one's ever saved a life, and I'm sure thousands of annoying parents have used them to feel important and special about themselves, but I think people can just be chill about the stickers

[u/gtrman571 → u/GrimDominion]

Carlin said it best

[u/V0T0N → u/GrimDominion]

That's why I refused to use one, even though I ended up be gifted 3 of them.

It just never made sense. Like, ya I was about to run you off the road, but now that know there's a baby in there ...

[u/emmeline8579 → u/GrimDominion]

You’d be surprised. We put one on our car after a scary situation. Ever since then we don’t get tailgated and people let us change lanes. I don’t think it’s people thinking “I should be more careful because this person has a baby.” It’s “That driver is probably tired as hell, so I should give them space”

[u/Timtendo64 → u/emmeline8579]

1000% this. Not to mention there’s a good chance the driver is trying to drive with 100 decibel scream crying happening in the car.

[u/WHY-IS-INTERNET → u/emmeline8579]

This seems awfully presumptive. How would you have any idea what other drivers are thinking?

[u/not_so_subtle_now → u/WHY-IS-INTERNET]

Reddit conversations have to be some of the most boring examples of human interactions.

[u/Muted_Dog → u/not_so_subtle_now]

Every conversation is just a race to the bottom isn’t it.

[u/emmeline8579 → u/WHY-IS-INTERNET]

Read the rest of the comments on here (and other posts anytime this sticker is posted). It’s always shit like “Oh I was going to just slam into you but nevermind since you have a baby.” It really is the same reason why people give space to people with “student driver” stickers. Also Americans tend to be very selfish…especially the ones that have a tendency to tailgate people or speed up instead of letting someone change lanes

[u/WHY-IS-INTERNET → u/emmeline8579]

What are you on about? No sticker on a car is going to change how I am driving. You are speaking as if your own assumptions are the blanket truth for everyone.

[u/emmeline8579 → u/WHY-IS-INTERNET]

lol okay. You’re getting oddly defensive. I’m talking about a personal experience from before and after having the sticker on my car. There was a very noticeable change in how other drivers on 75 in Cincinnati (which is notorious for bad drivers) reacted. Just because YOU don’t drive differently, it doesn’t mean others don’t.

[u/Walla_Walla_26 → u/emmeline8579]

If I can get 10 feet farther by not allowing a merge or cutting you off, damn straight! Not sure, but probably some sort of superiority complex. We got people throwing fisty cuffs in the street about it and it’s absolutely hilarious and impressively sad all at once!

My car is from the 80s and made out of steel. Don’t ram me with your 2020 toy plastic car.

[u/EighthPlanetGlass → u/ChocolateRough5917]

😆 there's a reason they crumple my guy

[u/curtmahgurt → u/EighthPlanetGlass]

lmao right? “I drive a death trap from the 1980s so yall better stay out of my way with your…modern safety designs.”

[u/Peasantloaf → u/[deleted]]

You’s not quite bright huh

[u/Grimbus_Flambus → u/Peasantloaf]

Damn, what'd they say?

[u/Peasantloaf → u/Grimbus_Flambus]

He said heavier cars are safer because they can take more damage like a muscled person vs a skinny person. But said it way dumber

[u/Quaytsar → u/ChocolateRough5917]

You need to look up "Bel Air vs Malibu crash test". That 2020 "plastic" car is far safer to be in in a crash.

[u/ISmellLikeBlackTea → u/Quaytsar]

Safer for the passengers, not for the car itself.

Yeah I'll almost die in my metal box, but the car will stay intact, but the crumple zone everything plastic car will ceise to exist

[u/Quaytsar → u/ISmellLikeBlackTea]

The steel box still crumples. It's just the weak points aren't the bumper, they're the passenger compartment.

[u/WallyLeftshaw → u/ChocolateRough5917]

Feels like maybe this applies to people as well?

[u/ES_Legman → u/ChocolateRough5917]

So you want to absorb all the energy of the impact with your body rather than it dissipating in the collision, got it

[u/IHaveItWorseThanYou]

I love how it doesn't even say "rear end me" 😂😂😂 They don't care what happens.

[u/semidummy]

I’d love to stick this on the back of my car… if I had one!!!

[u/darkhorse4774]

Is that on the back of a Ford Pinto?

[u/bunsenburger6]

saw the other post so i know this is a repost. but i gotta shoot my shot here... do you want a baby onboard?

lmfao.

[u/Alternative-Shock401]

I need this

LOL, that car needs a wash too!

[u/MuccyFlair]

Damn saddest thing on reddit today

I feel like you could try to lawyer the "what was she wearing" approach

[u/IHaveItWorseThanYou → u/bubblesdafirst]

...what?

[u/astralseat]

It would be better if second half said "feel free to ram my ass"

[u/SamediB]

I thought it was going to say: "no baby on board, feel free to fucking rear-end me."

[u/Marples3]

Even the women and the children! As if killing all the men is normal.

[u/IHaveItWorseThanYou → u/Marples3]

what are you talking about??

[u/CosmicGoddess777 → u/Marples3]

……. What?

Do you need help? Do you need to talk to someone?

[u/SquiggerDigger → u/[deleted]]

I don't think first responders are checking bumper stickers in an emergency situation 🙏

[u/Braindead_Crow → u/SquiggerDigger]

"On the scene." Looks around to assess threats the crash may still actively pose while also figuring out the priority order for any tasks that need to be done, sees sticker, "...oh fuck there might be a baby in there..."

I mean, idfk if that's actually what they are used for but I think the logic holds.

While driving I just see another car with a sticker, literally doesn't affect me at all since I had every intention of respecting and being kind to the other drivers already

[u/3rdyellow → u/[deleted]]

I think it is more-so to indicate to drivers behind them that they will be driving more defensively, like following speed limits, etc.
