No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The difficulty is exactly the same and the visibility is much better when leaving the space. Reversing isn't any harder than driving forwards, especially if you have a backup camera, many people are just unskilled or have low confidence
...
Why would skill matter if it's not any harder?
Reversing isn't any harder if you are familiar with the skill of reversing. That's what I am saying.
If you're familiar with the skill of reversing, reversing isn't any harder. Hmm. Ok. If you're familiar with landing a plane, then landing a plane isn't any harder either.
Actually landing a plane is a lot harder than reversing a car even if you're skilled at it. Not sure what you're trying to prove, this is a dumb argument
Obviously reversing is harder, and adding the tag "if you're familiar with the skill" doesn't change anything. I added "if you're familiar with landing a plane" to make that point.
Reversing literally isn't harder than driving forward.
Landing a plane is way harder than taking off. Your analogy is irrelevant and incorrect
Of course it is. Don't be dense. Going forward there's a huge windshield for you to look through with both eyes so your binocular vision gives you full depth perception. You're moving in the direction you're facing. The wheels that can't be steered follow the wheels that can so you don't need to think about them because they'll always just follow.
Compare that with reversing where you're facing forward but moving backward. You can only get a small, incomplete picture of where you're heading using either small mirrors or a low-resolution camera. You can try to rotate in your seat if you have a useful back window, but even if you do it's far away and so most of your view to the rear is going to be blocked by the car's interior. In addition, you're pushing the non-steered wheels with wheels that are steered, so that small movements of the steered wheels are amplified, so you have to be much more careful about where you're pushing them.
There's no question that driving backwards is harder than driving forwards.
