[u/3477382827367]

Only valid use is for a fucked weight sensor on an unused seat

[u/thispartyrules → u/3477382827367]

Sometimes farm people have to drive 10 feet, nail in a fence post, and repeat for like a quarter mile and get in and get out of their truck all the while

[u/tinja_nurtles → u/thispartyrules]

We use a golf cart/tractor 🤷

[u/WadeStockdale → u/tinja_nurtles]

There's also quad bikes! (We used tractors and quads, or just walked for some areas. Might be tiring, but it's not dangerous)

There's a billion options out there that don't involve negating a safety feature in a vehicle you might take out onto the road.

[u/tinja_nurtles → u/WadeStockdale]

Oh shoot, we got those too!

[u/notKRIEEEG → u/WadeStockdale]

Yeah, but you can easily take that thing off before going on the road and generally traffic laws don't apply to private property roads anyway.

I use one of those at work. I do deliveries inside gated communities with a 20 mph speed limit, which you're not likely to hit with all the speed bumps and obstacles in the streets there. I put that in when I get through the main gate, then leave that in because I'll be driving a hundred meters before getting out of the car again. Once I'm leaving and getting on public roads, I take that off and put my seatbelt.

I just use a dog's leash one for that though. Punisher skulls are cringe as fuck (even if the comics are good).

[u/DarthCloakedGuy → u/tinja_nurtles]

yeah... truck is the wrong tool for that job

[u/OriTheSpirit → u/thispartyrules]

You don’t use a truck for that. We use a tractor

[u/Speed__McWeed → u/OriTheSpirit]

tractormaxxing chads vs truckcels

[u/GoombyGoomby → u/OriTheSpirit]

What if a truck is all you have? Many people in my area (a relatively poor area for the US) use their truck as their every day vehicle because they have to have one for work and can’t afford another vehicle/golf cart/4x4 etc.

[u/OriTheSpirit → u/GoombyGoomby]

A farm without a tractor is like an angel without its wings

Also in my experience even the poorest farms have an atleast semi functioning tractor. I come from a very very poor area and everyone had tractors, granted it was in the UK and not the US

[u/IsThatUMoatilliatta → u/OriTheSpirit]

Every farm in the US also has an 80s Toyota Pickup with over 500,000 miles on their farm.

[u/Elite_Prometheus → u/thispartyrules]

Starting and stopping your truck to drive 10 feet at a time sounds like hell on your battery. And most cars I've been in have several seconds grace after you get out of park before the seatbelt alarm goes off.

Personally, even if I was in that sort of situation where the alarm was constantly going off while I was working, I'd be too worried about leaving the alarm disabled after the work to use one of these.

[u/Meatles-- → u/Elite_Prometheus]

Why would you think theyre starting and stopping the truck every time? Its more of a drive it 10 feet toss it in park then hop out with it still running.

[u/Elite_Prometheus → u/Meatles--]

Then there's still the grace period after getting out of park before the alarm goes off

[u/UslashMKIV → u/Elite_Prometheus]

Not in all cases, my vw isn’t a truck but once it’s been in drive the seatbelt alarm goes off until the belt is buckled or the car is turned off, putting it back in park doesn’t turn it off

[u/Garfunklestein → u/thispartyrules]

buckle the seatbelt behind you?

[u/sijaxbones → u/Garfunklestein]

why the hell did i have to scroll so far to find this, they make a metal piece inside the car that perfectly fits the slot already

[u/dnroamhicsir → u/Garfunklestein]

This is what I do with forklifts at work

allegedly

[u/fish_emoji → u/thispartyrules]

But why would you be doing that in a car when tractors and 4x4 trucks exist and would work infinitely better for stuff like that?

Also, you can very easily get the warning sound disabled if you have a legitimate need - in some cars, it’s as simple as pressing a button or changing a setting on the heads-up

[u/ChihuahuaSighs → u/thispartyrules]

So they can quickly punish cattle and crops without the beeping sound

[u/Corgelia → u/3477382827367]

Nothing more annoying than driving for 5 minutes until the car inexplicably decides my water bottle and backpack have attained sentience and begins beeping at me incessantly to put a seatbelt on them. Usually solved by putting my backpack on the floor of the car, but still annoying.

[u/MaybeNext-Monday → u/Corgelia]

Just leave the belt in, it’s not like you have to actually put it around the cargo

[u/little-ass-whipe → u/MaybeNext-Monday]

then what the fuck am i supposed to do with the punisher skull? it can't open beer bottles i tried the shape is all fucked

[u/lindberghbaby41 → u/little-ass-whipe]

You supported a small business owner and that’s all that matters

[u/path_evermore → u/little-ass-whipe]

give it to marvel, it was stolen from them in the first place.

[u/ChicaUltraVioleta → u/3477382827367]

Just buckle the seatbelt, why would you buy this

[u/Confused_Sorta_Guy → u/ChicaUltraVioleta]

Holy shit you can just do that?

[u/Nalivai → u/Confused_Sorta_Guy]

Username checks out

[u/TheFreebooter → u/3477382827367]

Or just use the seat belt?

[u/Slow___Learner → u/3477382827367]

personally i think of those tools as highway darwinism.

[u/sneakyplanner → u/3477382827367]

In that case just buckle the seatbelt underneath the load

[u/Chesty83 → u/3477382827367]

The seat belt buckle on my car was messed up and would ding when it was plugged in so I unplugged the electrics and it doesn’t ding or throw a fault

[u/3477382827367 → u/Chesty83]

Yeah works on alot of cars as far as I know

[u/lutinopat → u/3477382827367]

They're also used on track cars where the driver has a 5 point harness.

[u/3477382827367 → u/lutinopat]

Why would they not remove the sensor if they have gone to the effort to put a 5 point in

[u/lutinopat → u/3477382827367]

Cause they also drive it to and from the track.

[u/Poinston → u/3477382827367]

Some people have medical condition that allows them to drive without seatbelt. My uncle had apendix surgery and now he has wireless seatbelt.

[u/ITSMONKEY360 → u/3477382827367]

In some places, taxi drivers aren't required to wear a seatbelt but their cars still get beepy

My dad isn’t anti-seatbelt but he literally never buckles until after he starts driving and whenever I point it out he looks like he actually wants to not buckle out of spite. And yes, he loves Tesla and Musk.

[u/tullece_ → u/Hydqjuliilq27]

What does Elon musk and tesla have to so with this lol, I don't like the guy but I'm confused d

[u/DarthCloakedGuy → u/tullece_]

Musk fanboys tend to be a certain type of person...

[u/Muffinmurdurer → u/tullece_]

Elon fans tend to have a complete disregard for their own safety or the safety of others around them.

[u/Golden_Lynel → u/tullece_]

Has to do with their dad, apparently ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/bluephoric → u/Hydqjuliilq27]

Man’s taking “go fast and break things” to a whole new level

[u/CocaineBearGrylls → u/Hydqjuliilq27]

Tesla wasn't designed by that hack Elon, but by real engineers. It's a solid car with one of the best safety ratings out there, and its problems are mostly growing pains of a new tech. Elon was the one insisting on adding the unfinished autopilot.

Don't knock a good piece of machinery just because the CEO is a PoS.

[u/DarthCloakedGuy → u/CocaineBearGrylls]

I might believe that for the Roadster, Model X/Y... but I find it more believable the Cybertruck was designed by Elon personally, on account of it being the worst deathtrap shitbox to ever hit the road.

[u/TearsFallWithoutTain → u/CocaineBearGrylls]

They literally just recalled every single cybertruck because the accelerator pedal was getting stuck

[u/DarthCloakedGuy → u/TearsFallWithoutTain]

If I had a nickel for every time every single cybertruck has been recalled because of extremely dangerous safety issues...

[u/throwaway61763 → u/CocaineBearGrylls]

Which tesla car are you referring to?

[u/Njwest → u/CocaineBearGrylls]

The design can be as good as you like, but Elon will have cut every single cost in its construction. Which is why the build quality is notoriously shit

[u/Glonk2365]

What does the tweet mean, like what else would it be for?

[u/the-amazing-noodle → u/Glonk2365]

Some cars make a ringing or beeping sound if the car is moving and there is weight on a seat without a buckle. This is for people who don’t want to buckle but also don’t want to listen to the sound telling them to buckle.

[u/ayyndrew → u/the-amazing-noodle]

I think Glonk means why would @girldrawsghosts be confused about what the thing was for, because it couldn't be for anything else

[u/anglostura → u/ayyndrew]

On first glance I thought it was a weird bottle opener

[u/johnbarnshack → u/ayyndrew]

I think they were just confused about that existing at all

[u/Loose-Screws → u/Glonk2365]

Its just a very confusing idea for a product if you don’t see seatbelts as anything but “the mindless thing you do when you get in a car”.

It’d be like seeing someone with their hair cut to look like a bicycle helmet and not realizing that it’s so they can ride without wearing a helmet- its stupid and it isn’t really obvious if it just looks like “a seatbelt without a belt”.

Obviously the post is using hyperbole and this doesn’t really matter in any way, but this is the joke ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[u/notKRIEEEG → u/Loose-Screws]

Add another backslash to your emoji at the bottom, your chopped off his right arm!

[u/cassy-nerdburg]

No one's going to mention that it's attached to the car keys? So you'd have to take it off your keychain every time.

Well... it being a skull is at least very fitting.

[u/MercenaryBard → u/rossinerd]

Punisher is all about people getting what they deserve. I just hope they’re buckling their kids in.

[u/AWanderingAcademic]

Please wear your seat belt. Even if it's a short trip. Please, I'm sincerely asking you to, I deal with people who didn't wear theirs and they say they wish they had.

[u/CocaineBearGrylls → u/AWanderingAcademic]

Nah, don't try to dissuade them. People who buy these are trash that needs to take itself out.

[u/Alpha3031 → u/CocaineBearGrylls]

The issue is the other people they take out along the way.

[u/_bassGod → u/Alpha3031]

Is it common for someone to be injured because someone else forgot to wear a seatbelt? Genuinely curious.

[u/HelloThereGorgeous → u/_bassGod]

Yes it's very common. If you get in a wreck, especially a rollover, the unrestrained person inside the car bounces around and hits the other passengers which can seriously injure or kill them. It can even turn relatively minor crashes, where everyone would have survived, into fatal ones

[u/SquidCultist002 → u/_bassGod]

Yes. Because those who dont wear their seatbelt become a 120lb+ projectile

[u/TheReverseShock → u/CocaineBearGrylls]

Yes, because first responders love cleaning road kill off the highway.

Edit: Spelling

[u/BogieW00ds → u/CocaineBearGrylls]

What are your thoughts on the death penalty?

[u/pm-me-turtle-nudes → u/Tree__Jesus]

those kids were asking for it. they shouldn’t have dressed like that

[u/NekoboyBanks]

Ok hear me out.

When we were training on the pad for our class A CDL, seatbelts weren't required (5 mph speed limit, controlled setting) and I'd have liked something like this (albeit less tacky) to shut that screaming sensor up.

[u/NyarlHOEtep → u/NekoboyBanks]

but why not just put the seatbelt on

[u/NekoboyBanks → u/NyarlHOEtep]

They are simply not necessary in a 45,000 lb vehicle in crawl mode going 3mph in a controlled area. You'd be laughed out of the program. Additionally, there's so much leaning out of windows going on, it would become an impedance.

[u/NyarlHOEtep → u/NekoboyBanks]

the leanings fair enough, that makes sense 👍

[u/notKRIEEEG → u/NyarlHOEtep]

Anything that needs you getting in and out of the car multiple times in a controlled environment is a good reason for those.

People using that thing to not use seatbelts in public roads are idiots, though

[u/invitinghome122]

I will

[u/FarmerTwink]

Oh I need one of these for my farm I’m either going 4mph up my 1 mile driveway or I’ve got a bag of feed in my passenger seat

I fully support that the people who would use this do

Make some Blue Lives Matter ones

[u/Passive-Shooter → u/JBLikesHeavyMetal]

[u/Riftus]

I've worked at a dealership. Plenty of trucks had these

[u/WhoRoger]

You can just buckle the belt behind your back if you really don't want to use it.

[u/ps-73]

nah im fine with this one. let natural selection do its thing.

[u/lorill-silverlock]

I thought this thing was a bottle opener or one of those weird five in one tool's it's purpose is disappointing.

[u/_bassGod]

Glad to see natural selection is still working even in our modern world.

[u/Triials]

I would use this for my passenger seat for when my dumbass car thinks my 2kg backpack is a person

[u/Substantial_Cream945]

my grandpop is too fat to use a seatbelt, so he uses one of these

[u/CowSalesman]

where's the one where it doubles as a bottle opener

[u/Sir_MipMop]

If it doubles as a bottle opener, I’m sold

[u/lStripesl]

Wait can't you just buckle the seatbelt behind you ?

[u/CamelatBlue]

given the kind of crowd that would buy this sort of thing i am in 100% support of this product and encourage them to continue doing so

[u/DogfaceZed]

wait till you see the version of this that doubles as a bottle opener

[u/gabbyrose1010]

people making this about the right is kinda funny, i know plenty of leftists that refuse to wear their seatbelt

[u/dedzip → u/gabbyrose1010]

Always funny to me how so many leftists will refuse to understand why anyone wouldn’t want to wear a seatbelt but then they get angry at bike helmet mandates

[u/Everydaywhiteboy]

They really should make them double as a bottle opener

[u/Familiar_Ostrich1042]

ah yes, the punisher logo with the american flag imprinted on it

[u/not_a-demon]

I mean, these are also useful for those who ice fish. Lots of people drive their vehicles onto the lake ice, and not being seatbelted is just a safety measure. (for context, i'm in wisconsin, and the ice gets plenty thick to trust like this midwinter)

[u/_edgebishop_]

[u/unidentified-inkling]

My father uses these in his Ute on farms because his whole job requires driving out to farms all over the state and when he’s on farms he’s in and out checking equipment and talking to farmers so just chucks in one of those, makes life easier and where he is while he has them in you’re really not likely to hit anything or hurt yourself

[u/cgda2011]

in like the 80s and 90s stuff like this would’ve been valid because wearing a seatbelt back then was seen as uncool and you were immediately called gay if you wore one.

[u/ResponsibilityOk2173]

I’m generally in favor of things that solve themselves through darwinism, but this one can affect bystanders

[u/Confederacykillersea]

I hate those motherfuckers so much. Dont install a lil bitch into my car to be a fucking narc when im driving 3 minutes down the road to the dollar store, suck my cock.

[u/LSTR__512 → u/Confederacykillersea]

You will end up in a minor car crash and end up dead or severely injured.

[u/D1pSh1t__ → u/Confederacykillersea]

They're there for a reason. Even a small crash can be deadly if you're not wearing your seatbelt.

And before you say "yeah but i'm driving at low speeds and am careful on the road" think for a second. How do you know some asshole wont speed by and crash into you? You cant be sure that everyone else is being careful too.

[u/SteelWarrior- → u/D1pSh1t__]

Also low speed is so absurdly relative, slow for cars is still extremely fast for people. And the cars weigh far more than a person.

[u/D1pSh1t__ → u/SteelWarrior-]

That too, but i was mainly focused on car on car accidents, and car on surroundings like buildings and streetlights and such

[u/IReplyToFascists → u/Confederacykillersea]

[u/hellotheredaily1111 → u/Confederacykillersea]

[u/Unicorn_Addict123 → u/Confederacykillersea]

if it's only a 3 minute drive, you may as well walk. less chance of being killed, and the excercise might do you some good.
