#look driving over the snake river was a deeply comical moment during our first family road trip#I was driving and my dad was riding shotgun with the American atlas out as we’re picking our way through Idaho#I’d been driving through flat farm country and sod fields for hours#I see a slight change up in the road ahead but nothing really looks different there’s just rails next to the road#dad is scoping out the route ahead and says ‘huh I think we’re coming up on the snake river’ and just like that the *ground disappears*#there is no warning or change in geography we just go over this bridge and suddenly we’re looking down over this enormous river gorge#I am all ‘no SHIT dad holy moly holy smokes LOOK at this we are stopping I am pulling this bitch over’
thank you scherz et al. for bringing us the frogs Mini ature, Mini mum and of course, the Mini scule
Glad to see we made one scientist very happy

There is a Pope in the Cars universe. This means that there is Catholic Christianity, which means there was a Jesus car who was crucified. Jesus Chrysler was crucified by car Romans under Pontiac Pilot who washed his wheels. A car was nailed to a cross and ascended to Heaven.
the future is now
are people that lazy to need this
While Iβm sure there are people too lazy to spin a fork, keep in mind people like this person who may be suffering from arthritis or a neurological disease or nerve damage or a thousand other conditions that might impair their ability to do things as simple as spin a fork to eat spaghetti.Β
These are used with people who canβt grip well:Β
This is for Parkinsonsβs:Β
For people who canβt even bend their joints:Β
Hereβs a product that guides your hand from your plate to your mouthΒ
This one holds a sandwichΒ
Like I get it. I used to see things like the fork and thinkΒ βthatβs fuckinβ lazyβ or that product that holds a gallon and you just tip it and pour. But then I started working around the disabled and impaired and found out that these products arenβt meant for lazy people, theyβre meant for people who need help.Β
So maybe next time you see something, instead of thinkingΒ βWow, are people that lazy?β just be grateful that youβre able to do the things you do every day and take for granted, like being able to feed yourself and wipe your own ass because you have enough coordination and bendy joints to do it.Β
This isn’t specualtion either; the majority of products from commericals that we think are funny or silly are autally MEANT for hte disabled.But they are marketed towards the abled because the disabled aren’t considered a viable enough demographic on their own.
the Snuggie for example? Created for wheelchair users.
This is actually really nifty.
oh my god of course the snuggie was for wheelchair users
The fact that anyone buys these products besides disabled people drastically lowers the price of them. These would normally cost hundreds if not thousands if dollars. Because if spent time and money creating it, the company wants to get more than that back. And they can’t do that if they sell and market these primarily to disabled people for $20-$40 a piece or whatever. They’d lose money on production. If they can sell hundreds of them to everyone, they can lower the price drastically and therefore disabled people don’t die while trying to scrape up the money to buy these things and be a bit more independent.
I never considered that last part and that’s actually genius
Like yeah, a handful of people ARE that lazy.
But those are the people who use these products even though they don’t need them and thus allow the price to be lower for those who DO.
So honestly in this case good bless the lazy and those prone to gimmicks because they are invaluable to the elderly and disabled in this sense.
@thebibliosphere Look! People learning about disability and why to be kind!
The normalization of disability aids needs to be a thing precisely so they can cost less.
Better living through technology bitches
