    Only thing my car says is that I’m a weeb who can’t aim (Old OW Mercy Decal and a Sukuna Decal)

    It’s not wrong. Not quite as much info as following the average person on socials, but it can be a lot of info at a glance.

    Once had a cop show up one day, just asking about something going on in the area, and noticed an empty TV box by my trash can outside. Suggested I uh, don’t do that. Basically a big sign pointing to my house “brand new TV inside!”. Not done that since.

      My solution for the tv box is unfolding the box inside out and tying it into a bundle if it doesn’t fit in a recycling box. Also maybe don’t put out your boxes right after Black Friday or holidays.

        I cut up the cardboard and use it for various things around the house, like putting it under the car when I do an oil change, or as liners for the wire rack shelving in my cold storage.

      “I’m a millennial who was on the internet before it was cool and likely work in IT. Also I have good taste in videos.”

          Honestly though you got me there, I think being on Lemmy is a much stronger predictor of someone working in IT than whether or not they watched Homestar Runner, haha.

          Like shot in the dark accusations of IT work here you’ll hit someone 9 times out of 10.

            • If they know what email and reddit it are, Lemmy should be pretty easy to understand, at least from a user-perspective. Replace reddit with Twitter/Bluesky for mastodon, Instagram for pixelfed, etc, etc. I don’t think understanding how email works at a tech level is important for being able to use it. Ditto for fediverse.

                They don’t know what Reddit is in the least. Using email can occasionally be a challenge. They’re hippy artist types. Mostly they only know Facebook so they can sell their art. It’s a different life.

    I’ve got a pirate flag that says “I’d rather be drinking rum”. I never drink and drive, but I like reminding everyone to pirate things.

    Yeah no robber is doing this.

    Stalker yes. But most people don’t get stalked.

    And this is coming from someone who thinks any bumper stickers that contain any words is trashy.

    The amount of “OREGUNIAN” and Sig Sauer decals on people trucks, cars and the occasional Jeep Liberty in my area is tragically comical. Just drive through any neighborhood where garages aren’t common and you could pick out ten houses to rob later.

    You couldn’t ask for a bigger target to paint on yourself.

    I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.

    The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.

    They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.

      That seems like a small price to pay to have a dark magician girl decal in people’s faces in bumper to bumper traffic lol.

    Only bumper sticker I have says “shoot your local predator” with a camera (thanks anxiety war!) What does that say about me?

    In high school, I used to look for the most offensive bumper stickers possible. My favorite was from a band I liked that said “Genitorturers sodomized my honor student”. Let’s just say that parents of other kids did not like it.

    I put an NRA sticker on mine, not because I support them or own a gun, but because this helps me get rid of tailgating cars behind me

            I dunno, I like going slow- that is to say near the limit- and will have people ride me the entire time in a passing zone or blaze past me in a double yellow.

            Edit: It’s the best because I get to watch these same cars pull into the parking lot 500 yards down the road. Really saved them the extra fraction of a second.
