“It’s kind of getting communist when a feller can’t even put in a hard days’ work, put in 11, 12 hours a day, and then get in your truck and at least drink 1 or 2 beers.”
-People in the 1980s upset that they were trying to make it illegal to drive with a .15 BAC (which was the previous limit).
Shit, I have a hard time driving after one beer. Driving is just fucking boring and my sobriety affords me the clarity of mind to not space out completely. 4-8 beers for a .15? How’re you expecting to stay on the road?
Practice!
Gotta drink more so you can drink more. Then you’ll find your groove and see that a few beers is just the spice driving needed!
How on earth do you do boring stuff WITHOUT being drunk
Weed
Fair enough
Off topic and not a criticism of this meme, op or anyone who likes this, but this is a great illustration if why right wing politics is on the rise with younger people.
Being a piece of shit is kind of just funny. Like people don’t really make memes or sarcastically talk about being a good person, as it’s just not funny.
And while this is obviously not serious and probably won’t start a trend of people actually drunk driving, that IS how a lot of shitty modern trends start, with people doing it sarcastically for the meme, then someone else takes it bit more seriously to take the joke further and someone else takes it even further, until people are actual serious racists or misogynists for the meme.
I was on 4chan back in '06-'10 or so. Back when it was more people circle jerking about being right wing or blaming things on jews for the bit, to be edge lords. But that’s the thing about doing that - when you do it soon becomes impossible to distinguish the people doing it for laughs and the people who genuinely believe it. And eventually the people doing it for laughs leave, and all that’s left is people who believe it.
I was just there for memes, porn, and trolling. Calling a specific GameStop and repeatedly asking for battletoads in a thousand ways will always be funny to me. But eventually the shift becomes too great.
4chan has always been an ocean of piss, but it wasn’t always this concentrated.
At the same time, strong-manning a ridiculous opinion (like drunk driving is good) is a good way to show how ridiculous the typical rationalizations are.
I think i get the point you’re making
People like to make fun of this idea that “the right can’t meme,” but I’d agree with you and argue they’re actually really fucking good at it.
I think it’s a real shame that progressives basically ceded the tools of shock and profanity to people on the far right. Maybe it’s because I was a huge fan of the Colbert Report growing up, but I feel like satire is a great way to deconstruct far right positions by showing their logical conclusions. The problem is that you can’t really satirize a racist anymore; you’ll get called a racist yourself and be canceled.
No officer, the tree jumped in my way, I swear!
… on my pushy, fuck yeah i do.
on skateboard sometimes… but that’s got like a 5 beer limit before its easier to just walk.
on rollerblades… that shits hilarious.
in car, never have, never would.
Oh God, imagine if they actually made a dedicated like and subscribe button for keyboards, like how Microsoft got the Windows key on there.
Sorry mate, I gave up driving years ago.
Then what’s the point of drinking?
Hey buddy, I believe in you! You can get back on the horse, it’s just like riding a bike! (Either could net you a DUI in some of The States)
This one is definitely getting Poes Law’d.
It’s fun while it lasts!
Did bumper cars slightly buzzed, would recommend. Especially if you hit that magical non line moment and they just let you go longer.
