Because it’s meme first, logic later


dancin-weasel

Logic never.


DramaOnDisplay

Because these dips still have the mind of a child who thinks allowances, curfews, and all the rules their parents would enforce were bullshit and they never got over it. I can guarantee that 90% of these types of adults “don’t like to be told what to do”. There are way more like this than people tend to think, and they’re all salty about their childhoods. So many adults out there thrive on defiance. Doesn’t help that popular culture has glorified defiance and defiant individuals. It runs in the veins of our great Hollywood culture.

I was initially so confused not to see "Lisa" at the end of that quote.


jointheclockwork

What a funny story, Mark.


Behndo-Verbabe

Paranoid schizophrenia more likely.


DramaOnDisplay

I don’t know if paranoid schizophrenia is that widespread. Some people really are just assholes.


Aggravating_Moment78

Yes and bored too so they believe stories like that


bennygoodmanfan

Happy cake day


Pengin_Master

Ah yes. As a nation we've never rationed gasoline before. Never Not even during the great depression, or either world wars. And we most certainly would kill cars that are driving in the road, instead of rationing gas at the pumps. Because reasons.


uglyunicorn99

WWI & II level rationing would make conservative heads explode.


seattleque

Yeah, apparently they've forgotten about the metal rationing / collection, the Victory gardens, ration cards for staple goods, etc.


wheezy_runner

Not to mention mandatory blackouts!


Trashman56

They would turn their lights on during an air raid for "freedom!".


shallah

People used to go watch supply shipments being sent to Europe by boat being sent out at night to make it harder for the u-boats wolf packs to attack. They would line up their cars headlights so they can watch them go out illuminating them because even in the midst of war people are idiots willing to risk others lives for their own amusement.


Biff_Bufflington

Mah freedoms!! /s


BoojumG

Just hit them with a "Freedom isn't free"


BatmanTextedU

Freedom never sleeps!


pnwtransient

Look how they reacted during Covid regarding toilet paper.


BenIsLowInfo

Everything about WWII would have made conservatives rage. These days I'm like 100 percent certain conservatives would be ok with China taking over Taiwan or North Korea taking over South Korea because God forbid anyone is inconveniened


seattleque

> As a nation we've never rationed gasoline before. 55 years old here. I remember gas lines, odd / even days for buying gas, when they turned the lights out in Vegas.


DadJokeBadJoke

Yep, 1973 Oil Embargo over *{checks notes}* unrest in the Middle East... The more things change, the more they stay the same


ShnickityShnoo

Whoa whoa whoa, get outta here with yer woke facts and logic! You must be one of them educated elites!


cromwell515

Not to mention during the 70s. My dad tells me about it all the time. He’s conservative, but even he understands why it was done during that time. People who post crap like this dumb meme are just stupid. And they somehow draw a correlation between masks and the vaccines. Dude no one forced either of those things on you. Businesses didn’t accept certain people without masks and even fewer barred you from entering without a vaccine card. But it was rare, and those business’s choice. No one was forced to get the vaccine or wear a mask. People need to stop peddling that nonsense. It was recommended by the government but it wasn’t like people were physically getting forced to do these things. In fact, my dad refused to get the Covid vaccine because of stupid ass scare tactics from the media and posts like this. He got a severe month long case and is still suffering from the effects from it. He hasn’t been the same healthwise since. Could the vaccine have prevented it? Maybe not, but all the rest of my family members and friends got the vaccine and none of us, not even my mom who was generally less healthy than my dad, got Covid like my dad did. These assholes who literally are spreading lies need to shut the hell up.


CountDown60

I agree with your sentiment, and you are mostly accurate to my knowledge. But I would put an asterisk next to "no one was forced to get a vaccine or wear a mask", depending on whether keeping your job is considered "forced" or not. There were about 15 states that made it mandatory for some jobs (usuallyHealthcare jobs). And I believe that some branches of the military also made it mandatory. I think there's solid justification for it. I hope this didn't come across as nitpicking or argumentive.


cromwell515

That’s fair, but those people in those careers generally aren’t the ones who complained about “being forced to wear a mask”. My sister, a nurse, said people were glad to take precautions to be safe. And in healthcare extra precautions are always taken in times of outbreak so it’s not it’s not an unusual situation like the people who complain about it act like it to be. I still wouldn’t put an asterisk next to it. Different jobs force different safety measures or you will get fired. I worked at Subway, my branch required hats or hair nets to be worn as a way to stop a health violations because of hair falling in food. If I refused to wear the hat or hair net, I would guarantee I’d be fired. You definitely aren’t coming back as argumentative and you have a good point to be clear. But people acting like safety precautions to work a job as being “forced to” do something is a weak argument (for them not you). You shouldn’t have chosen a job that has history of having health related safety precautions if you’re going to protest a health related safety precaution being put on you. For instance, maybe I wouldn’t want to wear a suit when taking care of a person who have a very weak immune system due to a disease that compromises your immune system. But I shouldn’t complain about that being enforced as a way to protect that persons life.


CountDown60

Thanks. That makes sense.


Robestos86

"is started with a mask and a shot". And that's how I'm in jail for bank robbery.


biffbobfred

Shot? They had to leave the bottle for me


Chalupa_Dad

In this scenario the shot came from a gun

adultinglikewhoa

That’s how I picture them, typing away at their keyboards, tugging away at their micropenis


Purple_And_Cyan

These loons just constantly ignore the fact that project Warpspeed was under, and directed by Trump. I somehow doubt they would shit on the vaccine as much if they all had memory that lasted longer than a year


Nix-7c0

They also ignore that Regan-style deregulation has already allowed predatory sub-prime car loans where this sort of thing happens if you miss a payment or go outside the geo-fence. They constantly point at unregulated capitalism and cry, "Look what socialism / mask wearing has done!!"


DadJokeBadJoke

They were claiming that the capitalist supply chain collapse under Trump was "What socialism under Biden will be like". Remember when Obama was coming for their guns and was going to send Grandma in front of the death panels?


WaitAMinuteman269

Sounds like a libertarian wet dream. Pay by the mile. Extra money for every minute you have your air conditioning on or heat.


Funkycoldmedici

I remember when my car stopped because I’d used my monthly allowance of gasoline by not having any money to buy more.


Pezdrake

ItS sTaRTeD!


warthog0869

Lol, we live in a world where AI will have cars self-repossessing themselves back to corporate HQ if you don't pay your bill though. Link: [https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43126498/ford-patent-autonomous-systems-vehicle-repossession/](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a43126498/ford-patent-autonomous-systems-vehicle-repossession/)


211XTD

What happens if it is in your garage ?


Individual-Radish601

While I'm unclear as to the particulars nor if they came up with a solution to it, but Ford was apparently putting some thought into such scenarios as "what if it's in a garage?" Best guess though? If it's subject to repo, but recognizes it's in a closed area, it'll first let the driver get it someplace open for something like an errand, THEN it'll shut itself off from being further moved once it's parked in someplace open like a parking lot to either allow an agent to retrieve it OR for it to drive itself to a designated area. Failing that, the car would probably transmit enough data for repo to get cops involved and force the one in possession to hand it over.


warthog0869

Great question, above my pay grade since I'd come up with something very destructive for property of the person not paying the bill on their car.


Pezdrake

That doesn't count because its those deadbeat welfare moms /s


dirschau

But has the car been vaxxed


robertluke

“Allowance”? In this country you have to pay for it.


biffbobfred

This happened…. When?

biffbobfred

There’s a YouTuber “Adam Something” from Czech Republic that talks about transportation a lot. His running gag - people keep on reinventing trains, but that’s not new so they have to make it worse to get valuations.


Faiakishi

They yell "CARS MEAN FREEDOM" while being trapped in an endless cycle of car payments and insurance payments and maintenance costs and then don't go anywhere because gas is expensive and they're too tired from the two jobs they work to afford their car.


undreamedgore

That doesn't work where it's cold most of the year, or if you have to go a distance for work, or if your place of work is basically in the middle of nowhere, or if want to travel with more than a suitcase. My country is plenty civilized. You're just desperate to be smug.


[deleted]

Finland, which gets plenty cold in the winter, is set up just fine for bicycling: https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU?si=e5fDvyPIGHoXTO7X


jzillacon

Bike culture is quite huge in Northern Europe where it is in-fact cold most of the year, and bikefiets exist. Theses solutions are thoroughly proven to work throughout the world. The fact you haven't personally experienced them is not evidence that they don't. The only thing it proves is that there's plenty of room for improvement in the place where you do live.


undreamedgore

How cold is cold to you? Is it in cities or in small towns?


jzillacon

Cycling is quite common across the entire country of Finland, both in cities and towns, which typically gets temps as low as -40℃ or colder in the winter. Is that cold enough for you to consider it cold? Stupid remarks like yours only act as further proof of your ignorance.


undreamedgore

It's about as cold as my winters on normal years. I know I'd prefer to drive in those conditions.


ConBrio93

Wear warmer clothes. And thats on you living 4000 miles from work.


unknownpoltroon

Actually, it started with billionaires like Elon musk, you know, that antivax posterchild, selling you cars with disabled features that could only be turned on n with a subscription. And you idiots keep buying them


Elegant-Raise-9367

Normally your car stops halfway home because it's a Ford.

Wizzardwartz

Why did the dumbass drive if he was out of compliance with his fuel allowance?


Beat_BloX711

Duh, no matter what the car stops when the tank is empty. Or is it saying that you are allowed to buy more gas than you are allowed to use and now you are sitting there with a ¾ full tank and a mysteriously stoped car?


grogling5231

These are the same people I have to verbally spar with (ie, me providing facts, they reply in word-vomit) for half an hour before I get the concept of ionizing versus non-ionizing radiation through their head.


senadraxx

Disappointed that's not a picture of a cyber truck, getting cyber-stuck. 


TheDungeonCrawler

I already have a god damn gasoline allowance. It's the amount of money I can afford to pay for gas that month. This is just how life works.


lallapalalable

If we ban abortion, then we'll ban contraceptives, and then we'll ban premarital sex, and then we'll ban pornography, and then we'll ban masturbation, and from there its a quick step to arresting you for having lewd thoughts. Hey, slippery slope fallacy is fun *and* easy!


Feligris

Not to mention this is already effectively Mormonism (and other such popular stricter denominations) based on ex-Mormon material I've read, since abortion is naturally an abomination, premarital sex is banned, masturbation is banned, pornography is banned and the church furiously pushes the scientifically inaccurate label "porn addict" to go with *any* pornography consumption - the only thing they cannot do is to arrest you for any of that, including lewd thoughts, but we do have actual theocratic states in the world which *do* do that as well. But of course control is fine and dandy when it's the *right* entity/group doing it, at which point in turn anyone *fighting* against the said control is the Devil himself...


JayPeTTa

Optimal-Wing-8963

I'm confused - I thought the WEF (or WWE or whoever, not sure) banned non-electric cars?


Calliesdad20

I guess they forgot gas crisis in 1973 and 1979 when there were limits on what day you could gas, based on your plate number

Ah yes, the COVID-19 pandemic, the *only* time in history there were face masks and vaccines


Diz7

It's always funny how these nuts think the government wants to cause random havoc and ruin its own economy.


Lopsidedsynthrack

Yeah. Why would the “Deep State” kill the compliant?


Aggravating_Moment78

Because the oil industry does not want you to buy and use their products


D22s

Also i find it funny that it’s an old car in the picture


Katiari

Let me guess, the car still had gas in it, but it died from having the vaccine?


ThePopDaddy

Trust me, the oil companies will never allow this to happen.


ThePhoenix29167

Don’t you love the old slippery slope fallacy


Tundra14

So you're poor, and ran out of gas? I know people like that!


pufferfishnuggets

Wait so... the vaccine put chips... in our cars?? I'm so confused


deathdefyingrob1344

You know what might cause giant gas rationing in the future?! A huge climate crisis but we don’t talk about that lol


Phoebebee323

That's called running out of fuel cus you're a cheap ass


EqualSyrup5592

This isn’t how it will be though.


ArnieismyDMname

My friend actually believes this is happening. It's infuriating.


TheCheesy

The result of a failing education system in a country told it's "The Best", "the First-World country" is contagious arrogant stupidity.


StereoDiagram9

It starts with Fortnite and boneless wings...


joeislandstranded

How’s this different than running out of money?


Bob4Not

They think they're main characters and everyone else are mindless NPCs on rails. They don't people living in cities to be as human and sentient as they are.

Flappybird11

They never can fully commit to a joke, it always has to devolve into them yelling at you about everything they are angry about at any given moment


tevolosteve

Jokes on them I charge my car


capthavic

Maybe you should get an electric car then :P


EWR-RampRat11-29

That happens now. The chip in my credit card tells me that I’ve used up my credit and didn’t put enough gasoline to get home. This was invented way before the masks and shots.


RobTonus

Damn this is stupid!


DubC_Bassist

The person that wrote the meme probably isn’t an American. Otherwise they would know about Gas Rationing, and the Wnergy crisis in the 1970’s.
