Unlocks the permanently black screen feature to a digital billboard near you
I was parked at a gas station with my car facing nose to nose with another car. I was startled when I put my polarized sunglasses on and saw the person in the other car looking at me while eating a burger. I couldn’t see them without sunglasses because of the glare on their windshield.
Sometimes I’ll go into a restaurant or a fast food place and they have TVs rotated 90° with the menu shown on them and they look like they’re all turned off until I tilt my head.
It’s very nice. Until it blocks your navigation screen in the car, then it sucks :(
Doesn’t seem to be an issue with my 2021 Rav4 thankfully
Pedestrian supremacy
I don’t understand why this still happens. How have car manufacturers still not realized that they need to polarize their displays in the opposite direction? Tons of people wear polarized lenses, especially for driving! It’s not even a niche use-case, like half the options my optometrist offers are polarized, they’re everywhere. And the fix is so incredibly simple - just rotate some of your manufacturing equipment 90 degrees. Boom, done, problem solved.
This has been quietly driving me crazy for years.
I would simply prefer my car didn’t have any screens at all. If a new car just powered off the screen while not using the backup camera it’d have my attention so fast.
The monkey paw curls…
Your next car has you looking into a solid piece of metal, lacking a windscreen. 😅
I’m moderately surprised that Tesla hasn’t already tried replacing the windshield with a big screen and cameras tbh
It’s a tank?
Tanks have windshields. They’re just tiny and made of very thick glass.
In this picture the windshield is right below the main gun:

I just watched this movie for the first time last week. It is cheesy as heck and the story isn’t deep (I know it is an action movie with a bit of story thrown in there). Nonetheless I was so impressed by the beginning of the movie that it made me ponder a lot on my own when the movie ended, even though those views already permeated my mind. I would recommend this over Robocop which is what people throw around for the same “vibe” (action with some deep lore).
Edit: Mid 90’s kid btw!What movie?
John Carpenter’s They Live
Thanks!
That’s a pretty sweet perk. How did you get this achievement? Did you have to throw like a thousand ads in the shredder or something?
I had to look like an idiot asking why the above counter menu at fast food places wasn’t working a number of times
Just turn your head sideways. Nobody will question you
Does anyone else get migraines triggered by polarization? I can’t wear polarized sunglasses at all.
That sounds strange, because they just filter out and don’t add anything. What does give me headache though are glasses that are too small for me. Maybe your glasses are just a bit too small and the increased pressure triggers the migraine?
