Oh my GOD i hated this as a kid - why is there a light just for me if I can't use it? And then I was driving my 3yo son the other night, and he's like "turn the lights on" and as I was explaining to him why I wouldn't, it struck me... the cycle is complete

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Ha I'm that way now. Back in the day if you forgot to turn it off it would drain the battery. Plus where I lived a dead battery in the winter can freeze and basically need to be replaced.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

My brothers, in the process of ratting me out.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

It is against family law to turn the light on during road trips. You will be hanged at dawn until dead. All possessions will be forfeited to your little sister

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

But... it's to scare away the ghosts...

🥺👉👈

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

The ghost lives in the microwave. Are you trying to tell me you brought the microwave in the car?

[–] mech@feddit.org 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

back then, windshields had no anti-reflective coating and headlights were a lot dimmer. You couldn't see shit outside the car with a light on inside.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bullshit. I have owned many cars from the early 60s and 70s and there was never an issue with the light being on.

[–] TheTrueColonel@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 22 hours ago

Congrats. If you personally didn't have an issue, that's great. It still doesn't take much light to cause your eyes to stop being adjusted to the dark. That's the main issue, the other mentioned factors definitely didn't help either.

If I used my gameboy light in the car I wasn't allowed to be within the area my dad could see in the rearview mirror

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 44 points 1 day ago (3 children)

You're god damn right.

Sorry... I mean... as a dad who did some driving with younger kids at night with their stuff with the backlights. You have to understand that you've just blinded me to everything, and it's also very distracting. But to be fair, it wasn't just the kids. My wife would do the same damn thing with her laptop, and that was a far bigger light. And a far more delicate method of approaching.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 13 points 22 hours ago

Now at night I'm just constantly blind due to the led arms race

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Slam the brakes full-stop on the highway, reach over, open the door, kick her out, speed away. The adult version of "I will turn this car around".

Right? ...right?

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

You have some major night blindness. My gf is the same way and any light in the car blinds her. I can drive with the lights on, tablets and gaming systems going, all no issues. She now only drives at night when I am so tired it's dangerous, and often we will just pull over on road trips and sleep for a bit

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I get it. as someone with superb night vision, any amount of light that offsets my ISO can be blinding.

I can't even drive in cities after dark because it's too difficult to see and everything is just washed out lights.

put me on a dark rural road without lights and a quarter moon and I can drive without headlights (true story).

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Damnit… it’s come full circle. Now I’m the dad, and saying the same thing to my 3yo when he turns the light on as he gets in his car seat.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I'm old enough...

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Great movie, my favourite part was the thud when Stalin got almost dead.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

Listen, that's fine and all. But the best scene in the movie is every scene with General Zhukov.

But the other commenter just said he almost died? False advertising smh

[–] vateso5074@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, one becomes almost dead before one becomes fully dead, right?

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

Spoiler alert for the first 2 minutes of the film (plus, you know, real life), Stalin dies in a pool of his own piss because his guards were so afraid of entering his office.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net -1 points 1 day ago

What's the movie?
