It's a legal liability thing. People were doing dumb stuff back then, too, but instead of somebody suing, they'd just die and be forgotten by time.

People only do that kind of stuff in the hopes they can sue the company for not putting such a warning in the manual. That's mostly just an American thing though.

Most people these says are dumber than a box of rocks because they have a lower attention span than a dog so its not surprising.

Human brain power potential hasn't changed since the stone age. Each generation just has more opportunities to use that potential. If you kidnapped a stone age baby from the past and raised them now, they would be like any other modern child

People haven't gotten dumber, the internet just allows for more of a spotlight on people being dumb.

People have the opportunity to be more informed than ever; many do not take it.

Oh, they keep themselves informed alright. Just as long as it's easy to read, tells them what to think of it and the community they interact with agrees with them.

Insurance reasons.

Some might fuck their own ride up trying to fix it or mod it and try to collect on the mistake.

If a pro fucks it up then it's another story.

This exact post I see all the time and it makes me irrationally angry. Like if the fucking Boomer that posted it took 3 seconds to think about it they would realize how dumb they are.

you know that those companies did? Realized they could charge us INSANE fucking prices at repair shops THEY OWN.

Lawmakers today are literally suing car companies because they are using systems and practices that limit people repairing their own car.

https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a34394907/heres-why-you-should-care-about-right-to-repair/

This isn't stupidity, it's unchecked greed.

Seriously, I don't know why this particular one gets me so worked up. I don't even give a shit about cars. But my blood pressure is up just reading it.

Extremely popular in big cities in the 30s-50s.
First done by Eleanor Roosevelt (yes, that Roosevelt) in 1906.

Some wrasslin promotion should bolt some rings and a huge ass cage to the side of a building and take Wargames to another level.
