I had a friend that during the cold winter mornings would wake up and piss on his windshield to clear/melt the frost. He of course kept the vents closed so he couldn’t smell it on the drive. It really was disgusting, but made me wonder if he might’ve had a clever time saving idea.

[-] nul@programming.dev 38 points 9 months ago

It's a clever time saving idea in the same way that burning your house down is a heating bill reduction life hack.

[-] Coreidan@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

The vents aren’t a perfect seal. Piss is getting into the vents no matter what. That’s just filthy on many levels

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 14 points 9 months ago

How did he do it? Like, I could hit the windscreen from the ground but I doubt I could clear it... Would probably have to stand on the bonnet to get it clear with a morning wizz. I don't wanna stand on my bonnet. Maybe if I pissed out the window... 🤔

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 13 points 9 months ago

You guys should maybe Google "homemade de-icer" before you start pissing on windows.

Standing on the bumper might be enough, especially if it's the first piss of the day.

[-] ratman150@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

A small container would probably work best

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 9 months ago

But also: eww

[-] greenskye@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

How hot was his pee? Pretty sure it'd just freeze before it melted even a minor amount of ice

[-] pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 11 points 9 months ago

I mean, it's 98.6F on average. If it's freezing that quickly then you're looking at some extreme temperatures.

Learn this one trick that doctors hate!

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 33 points 9 months ago

imagine having to prepare your vehicle before getting on your way in the winter

this post was made by public transport, walking, and biking gang

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@lemmy.ml 14 points 9 months ago

depends where you live.

if i had to get public transport where i used to live i would have to leave two hours before work

[-] woodenskewer@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

our local bus goes to grocery stores and that the most of it. if i lived near a retirement home, and worked at a grocery store or strip mall, i'd be set.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de -4 points 9 months ago

right, so maybe the ability to not drive should be a part of how you decide where to live? i certainly wouldn't want to live somewhere where the only choice is driving

[-] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@lemmy.ml 7 points 9 months ago

I wasn't given a say in where my parents bought their house while i was in primary school

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Yeah it's -17⁰f, I ain't walking or biking and the bus only goes the opposite direction

[-] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

biking in the snow? sounds unpleasant. bus please!

The masterrace

[-] cirdanlunae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 9 months ago

Frost Guards for the win!

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

Wait, does everyone's car not simply defrost itself every morning at 6am?

[-] Daxtron2@startrek.website 5 points 9 months ago

I'm lucky if my car starts in the morning

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago
[-] FleetingTit@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

What does that add to the discussion?

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

I apparently replied to the wrong comment I guess

[-] ShortFuse@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I remember that being a feature in my 2002 BMW. Unfortunately, a Double DIN stereo was more important than the native controls. So I lost the ability to schedule the auto start time.

Edit: "Auxiliary heating" is apparently what it was called.

[-] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

You know you can explode your engine like that lol

[-] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social 6 points 9 months ago

idling? idling in park will explode your engine? I'm a bit incredulous.

[-] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

its an old dads tale

[-] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 4 points 9 months ago

If you're going to repost this at least do it on a weekday morning lol

[-] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 4 points 9 months ago

Scheduled auto start for the win!

[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago
[-] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

I guess that depends on what you mean by "smart car". It's a 2021 Ford and the app let's me do scheduled starts. Turns on the steering wheel and seat warmers too.

[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Oh wow. Cool. I don't personally keep up to date with current car tech.

[-] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

new cars aren't cool bro you have the subscription service ford lmao

[-] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

Ford surprisingly is one of the few that don't do this. At least for what I have anyways, but it's not base model.

The only thing I'll have to pay for to continue using is the GPS in another year or so. The app itself is free but pretty limited in overall functionality. Remote start, lock unlock, check tire pressure and oil life.

They only complaint I have is the damn windows take forever to thaw the seal enough to roll down unless I pull them back a little.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world -1 points 9 months ago

Inb4 someone turns their seatwarmers on in the garage, goes to eat breakfast, walks into the garage and gasses themself

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Electric cars don't have that issue

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

They have the F150 hybrid which engine cuts off when idling.

[-] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago

Incorrect, I have no garage..

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 9 months ago

I'm too tropical to understand this
