No, no, no… it has to be really cold air. That way when it expands as it warms you get 100%!

Jesus Christ! A friend of mine exploded a mountain bike tire when trying to inflate it to 100psi, assuming it would be the same as on his racing bike, he said it went off like a grenade. I can't imagine what a car tire would be like.

I've got one better... I used to work in a bike shop. When building new bikes, it's common to overinflate the tires (to get the bead seated nicely all around) and then let the excess out. I did that one day with a flat repair, and blew the side of the rim off, it had been worn so thin by the brakes. (This was many years ago, before disc brakes were common)

Also, we had a deaf girl working with us. If someone exploded a tire (it didn't happen often, but it was more than never) it would startle her too, she didn't hear anything, but she said she could feel it.

You need to top off your blinker fluid to get to 100

Keep going, make sure you're not wearing safety goggles, also make sure not to read up on natural selection until after you've aired them up.

I'm surprised the car didn't display a warning

[-] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 4 days ago

Programmers could not imagine someone doing this.

Just swerve on the road to warm up the tires like a race car driver.

I guess lemmy has grown to the point that we're just reposting Facebook car memes now.

That's a pity.

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 47 points 6 days ago

If it's funny and I don't have to go to Facebook, I have zero problem with it.

People are allowed to like what they like. Please don't gatekeep.

I want to know the age demographics on Lemmy.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 days ago

"Children" and "people old enough to be their grandparents."

No in between.

Technically correct.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Someone please confiscate their keys so nobody else gets hurt

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 6 points 6 days ago

They were just overclocking their tyres

Just explain to them they overlooked it is in psi and not % and all parties will be safer. It was probably a joke by the creator and by you.. but ignorance isnt bad, it's an opportunity for improvement. -Brought to you by Hallmark

Ok but only if the convo takes place more that 30 yards from the car.

2/3 and 3/3 do not load for me. I guess I'll never find out how out ends!

[-] useyourmainfinger@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

I'm tyred of all of this now...

[-] Kaelygon@lemmy.world 41 points 6 days ago

those arent percentages. That's more than double the recommended tire pressure in psi

Nahhnahnah

More pressure means more power, and more power means a better car/j 😎

[-] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago

Needs the right atmosphere I guess
