Brake*
Sorry, just bugged me ><
depends on if you’re being followed by a cyber truck too closely, or not.
Likewise
NGL I stole this meme and was stoo lazy to fix it
Too*
(You asked for this. Asked for it!)
Stew*

No it’s definitely “too”, no “to”. Too is a statement of how much, to is a statement of direction. OP is not going toward lazy.
He may have meant stew
was stoo lazy
idk wash she?
There’s an “s” in front of the “too”.
and was stoo lazy to
Too lazy
No fix for you
You’d be surprised how many “normal” people don’t know the difference
Peek and peak upsets me all the time too! “Duel wield” is another one. While we’re at it, people who pronounce melee as Me Lee. It should sound like May Lay.
I loose my mind with this kind of thing too. Do these people have a screw lose? What kind of rational would a rationale person use to decide to just use similar looking words with different meanings?
It was almost painful to write that out actually, but don’t worry I’ll add it to the list of things to review in therapy 😂
Well, it’s easy. If you don’t use the brake, the car could break.
Far left pedal is the clutch, not a second “break”
No, that’s the anti-theft device.
Only works in America though
No, it’s just a foot rest
I’m on mobile and could be wrong, but this picture looks like it’s an automatic and that’s a foot rest, not a clutch (nearly all Fords have a large plate like that in that spot to rest your left foot)
It’s generally called the dead pedal and yes, it’s basically a footrest for your left foot. This meme is just awful and misspelled brake.
Ahh you know I think you’re right
That looks like a dead pedal (foot rest), not a clutch pedal. Normally only the gas pedal has a full pedal face on it. A clutch pedal normally looks like a brake pedal.
Edit: Eh someone already said this but I agree with them.
If you use it wrong enough then “break” becomes the proper spelling.
Forgot to label Earth as accelerator
Not to mention the driver’s hands and feet!
Brake.
Petrol. Gas isn’t even a gas.
Gasoline not petroleum.
Gasoline is called petrol outside of the US. It is a distinct word from petroleum.
I’m aware that British people think it’s called petrol, but you’re mistaken if you think that it’s only the US that calls it Gasoline. That’s the term used for most of the English-speaking Americas, including Canada and many former British colonies like Bermuda and the Bahamas. In fact, if you include Latin America’s “gasolina” it’s almost the entire Americas. And if you include variants on that name you’ll also have to include Japan and Korea. In fact, “gasoline” has even invaded the British isles. Variations of “gasoline” are sometimes used in Welsh, Scots Gaelic and Irish.
But, anyhow, my point was more that “gas isn’t even a gas” is as dumb as “petrol isn’t even petroleum”. “Gas” is just a short form for “gasoline”, nobody’s suggesting it’s in a gaseous state, just like nobody is suggesting that petrol is literally just a short form of petroleum, despite the obvious similarity of the words. This is English, the language where “read” and “read” are two different words pronounced differently. It’s no major issue to have “gas” be a short form of gasoline as well as being a state of matter, though it does sound funny if you say something like “gas is a liquid”.

I’ll be saving that one

gasoline, not gas.
*Gasoline or diesel. Petroleum has to be refined first before use in a car.
“Gas” doesnt refer to its state of matter, it’s short for gasoline.
Wow, I did not know that! I literally have never heard the word “gasoline” before!
Ok, then how about the directional circle, solid pedal, and liquid pedal?
They’re all just vector appliers.
But it was originally derived from coal gas back in the 3rd quarter of the 19th century, when the first internal combustion engine for transportation application was being developed.

Is it an accelerator? Or is it a jerk pedal? Technically the gas pedal controls the change in acceleration, right?
I definitely have friends
Technically the gas pedal controls the change in acceleration, right?
Technically it controls the amount of air and/or fuel delivered to the engine (in a gas engine, the pedal directly controls airflow; in a diesel engine it directly controls fuel flow)
A valve controller, yes
Acceleration in physics terms just means a change in velocity. Velocity is speed in a given direction. The steering wheel, gas pedal, and brake pedal all accelerate the vehicle.
Acceleration in physics terms just means a change in velocity. Velocity is speed in a given direction
They definitely know that, given that they know that change in acceleration is called jerk
And I had no idea what the fourth derivative was called so I had to look it up. It’s called snap or jounce.
And fifth/sixth derivatives are crackle and pop because some physicists thought it would be funny to have it be “snap crackle and pop”
I remember when my calculus professor offhand mentioned these and jerk. He had a really dry sense of humor, so I didn’t realize that he wasn’t joking with us (the class) until like two semesters later.
So, you didn’t realise that during the unit test?
If I remember right, it wasn’t on any test. Those tests were all problem solving, and none of the problems had derivatives deeper than acceleration. It was awhile ago though, I could be misremembering
Well, it might just have been an out of syllabus thing considering I was not taught that in class and only learnt it while having fun somewhere.
Increasing speed -> acceleration Decreasing speed -> negative acceleration Changing direction -> Vector acceleration(change in velocity)
No, if there is constant pressure on the accelerator, there is a constant acceleration on the car.
The jerk comes with the rate of change of pressure on the pedal (e.g. if you stomp on it)
That would make the driver the jerk 🤔
So normal people don’t have an education? It is brake, how do you people keep making this mistake?
It’s an Alfa, “Break” might be the correct terminology /s
Joke of course, I love Alfa’s!

Afaik native speakers make such mistakes more often, since they learned far more of the language by hearing than by reading
Well, I think you answered your own question 😅
Love this

Okay student, now turn the accelerator and feather the accelerator as you accelerate into the curve, then press the accelerator to accelerate your acceleration out the curve.
No, one of them is the “don’t accelerate” pedal you use to switch gears.
I think that car has a dead pedal, otherwise that is the fattest clutch pedal I have seen by a longshot.
It could be the handbrake (well, footbrake). If that’s the case, it’s unusually close to the other pedals.
And way too large, and way too low.
Handbrake pedals are usually small pedals, away from the others and raised so it’s uncomfortable to reach them.
Exactly my thinking, looks like a dead pedal not a clutch.
I’ve never seen a clutch bigger than the brake pedal.
You’re applying acceleration to the gear switcher
Just like I’m applying acceleration to your mom
Is the window my frame of reference?
“Accelerate… Decelerate” — Simon Phoenix
Break Gas? Never heard that expression before. I always thought it was “break wind”. 😆💨
*BMW drivers
Well, with Alfas half of those accelerators probably don’t work!
(Actually jk, afaik this is only an old-timey joke now)
Physicians: “It’s all vector addition and differatials?”
Mathematicians: “Always has been.”You wouldn’t be able to press a gas with your foot though.
I can imagine a scenario where you a gas is encased in a volume that you can reduce by stepping on it with your foot, thus pressurizing it.
Depends on what you mean by “press” really
Moving your foot through a gas will displace the gas, and there will be a (albiet small) pressure difference around the foot as it moves through the gas. An increase on the side in direction of movement, a decrease on the opposite side of direction of movement, and some vortices on the sides.
Basically a very poorly designed wing.
