    the real “how are you this retarded” is not from op. the real “how are you this retarded” is expecting people to understand how the devices they’re using work.

    anyone that never had to work on something or troubleshoot problems with it will not have an inherent understanding of how it functions.

        I mean, that works well enough to go to space, so why can’t it get you to the store?

          When you know how rockets and jet engines work, because someone explained it to you but nobody explained how car works, people might just apply that knowledge to cars.

          People expect that others are born with knowledge or that it magically appears in their brains. Its not that op is retarded, its his parents that forgot to teach his son some basic stuff. When I see memes with how bad the current generation is, they forget its not the fault of the generation, its the fault of the parents. When they don’t teach their children that, how should they do it?

      This is more a failure of understanding basic physics.

      If you lift off the throttle you can induce oversteer because you are transferring the weight of the vehicle away from the back wheels.
