Lol these people think that anyone who has enough money to buy an SUV or a pickup will starve to death because a flat tyre
Thank you for doing this. I got to have some fun dunks while it lasted. :duck-dance:
Hopefully some based anti car comrades join the site now
They've unlocked it, it seems. It was definitely locked earlier. Perhaps a different mod woke up or something.
For those that care, Tyre Extinguishers also leave a pamphlet in the windows of the vehicle telling the driver their tyres are flat
Lentils continuing to fight inflation at every corner.
Someone add a hexbear watermark and post in /r/fuckcars for a good time
k, I did it. Go directly to the sub and sort by new if you want to upvoot:

Lmao.
Welcome to any comrades that joined from fuck cars

Considering they started in Europe I'm fairly sure they did the lentil-deflating cause that's less of a crime. Pretty sure in Germany that's like a fine and no criminal record at most if you get caught, which does seem a lot more appealing than getting the book thrown at you.
Considering I already see discourse how these are murderers (because what if you get up to highwayspeeds with a flat without noticing and careen your child pulverizer 5000 into a group of schoolchildren) it's a coin toss as to whether this gets changed, but until then I don't think it's the worst idea.
The real crime is the fact that a dipshit that doesn't realize they have a flat while driving has a loicense to drive
Well, yes, obviously, but as with any (potential) negative externality of cars, to most people it's either someone elses fault or an act of god. And act of god is kind of hard to argue here, so it's the activists fault.
"You fucking 'iN gOd wE tRuSt' hypocrites get all salty when God tells me to burn down the police station"
Yeah, most modern vehicles have tire pressure monitoring systems in them, so not only would the car tell you you have a flat, it'll be the first thing you see when you turn the vehicle on.
"Surely if the car can still go forward it's fine to go, what am I, responsible for the safe operation of heavy machinery?"
Portable lithium-ion battery with jumper cables good for 100 starts before it needs recharging :sicko-zoomer:
Most people don't even have a donut at this point and they sure as hell don't know how to change their tire even if they do.
I have a donut, plug kit, quart of oil, and jump kit in my car at all times, but that's mostly because I'm traumatized from having very shitty cars in the past. I'd still rather be safe than sorry since it's such a massive pain in the ass to get a dead battery or flat tire.

I figured they'd use nozzle wrenches and cordless drills.
Sugar would just get filtered out, like sand. The real shit is water. It floats on top if the gas, doesn't get filtered out and can be hard to detect. Can really fuck up an engine. It's a bitch to fix even if you knew there was water in it.
It would probably fuck up the filter or injectors, not sure how much you'd need. Like a big jug of it? Water is also cheap!
don't know if it's true but the sugar theoretically dissolves in the gasoline
Not really. If you really want to go the sugar route you need to disolve it into water first.
But glucose has OH groups and is polar, isn't it? So it shouldn't dissolve in a nonpolar diluent.
sounds right to me, just saying that's the urban legend's explanation. I guess "theoretically" was teh wrong word to use
I recall reading a few FMs on this subject and if I'm not mistaking my memory, sugar is not a good agent for this kind of stuff. I think all it basically did was whatever dissolved just burned with the gasoline and whatever didn't got filtered. And when the filter was removed and the solid particulate was allowed to move freely no noticeable decline in engine performance. I should look at it again just to confirm though.
Just be careful if you're slashing the larger tyres, don't want to see any comrades get hurt
I guess that's why they're doing the lentils thing then, also because it's less of a crime I think?
also because it’s less of a crime I think?
Yep. It doesn't actually destroy anything, just immobilises it until they can reinflate the tyre.
Harder to find "probably cause"this way.
Alsomost small pocket knives don't have a guard to keep your hand from sliding off the handle onto the blade. Very unfortunate to hurt yourself this way when trying to do something.
If you want to go further than lentils but don't want to risk slashing the tire itself you could also just snip the valve stem itself. It's not massive damage but it requires taking the tire off the rim to replace.
