    This is exactly why you shouldn’t film a TikTok while overly emotional and driving.

    I mean, there are plenty of good reasons not to "film a TikTok", but I'm pretty confident this particular TikTok really highlights one over the rest.

    I think anyone who films themselves (or anything really) while driving should get their license permanently revoked

    And then instead of deleting this video in (very earned) shame, she still posted that shit.

    As someone who has rolled their car, I grabbed the keys from the ignition, the toll pass on the windshield and stepped out of the car to look for my phone.

    It's a weird reflex but, like, gotta have my phone to call for help.

    It's a valid concern. I've been on a long trip in winter, flew out of the road on ice, rolled over and back onto the wheels. Everything was fine, except I never found my phone which had the navigation map. Had to complete the trip navigating by my laptop with a usb modem. The windows were rolled up, but the phone apparently just poofed into nonexistence.

    That's becasue it's ** generated. Just look at the how she uses the steering wheel and how the car respondes. Also how the car flips and that she didn't use the brakes at all.

    God, I hate this shit. I really don't think it is. It's called "losing control" for a reason. The car is no longer responding to the driver input as you would expect. The car rolls over, so it obviously slides sideways. That's never a steering direction you can input. Is every car roll over AI generated?

    I never get how people driving at medium speeds (for Germany at least) drive that bad that they roll over their car that easy.

    So whats going on here? Is she turning and possibly braking in a way that this happens? Why not hit the brakes hard holding the wheel and taking the hit as would (often) make sense?

    I used to live on a narrow road (you could pass another car but you'd need to squeeze into the bushes a bit) in the country and my kitchen was at the front of the house so I could see the road while I ate breakfast. This backstory makes it sound like I'm about to launch into a recipe, but no. One day before school I saw a car go past at like a walking pace and five seconds later one came down the hill at the same sort of speed but on its roof. It kept sliding for about 50m. I have no idea how they managed to turn it but it was funny as hell. The driver was just looking at me upside down all the time.

    It looks like she is driving an older version SUV. They were notoriously top heavy and easier to roll.

    And a lot of people don't realize just how domed the average road is to prevent water buildup. There can be significant differential between kerb and the peak of the road depending on speed limit and curve. We're just used to it.

    Thanks for the answers and yes I think there is a significant difference in the build of the street here and there. This, in addition with the top heavy suv might explain it.

    I even wonder if these were allowed over here as the safety standards are quite different (eg sparing us from the cybertruck).

    Say what you will, but she steered into the slide like a boss!!! It wasn't enough, but even F1 drivers spin-out sometimes.

    Okay counter steering, but in a fwd like that you also have to bury the gas to try and pull out of it. Which is counterintuitive. I usually change my driving-mind when racing but I've had a few oh shit moments on dirt where I kinda forgot and mid slide remember oh yeah, gas.

    She needed to swing the steering wheel a bit more. I bet that would prevent her from crashing /s

    I am aware, and it is stupid.

    You're still being sexist. If you don't want to be sexist, and want to reduce the sexism on lemmy, you could just describe it any other way.

    She's fucking stupid.

    She's a childish piece of shit.

    This stupid fuck could have killed someone.

    Like why are you so tied to this word, and why is that more important to you than the bigotry it carries?

    None of which carry the same sexist history or impact. Why is invoking sexism warranted and why is it more important to you than making lemmy a less sexist space?

    Yes, because that was an incredible dumb thing to say...

    She's not here, I am not protecting her, I am saying you're being sexist and I asked why it's more important to you that you insult someone that will never see it in ways that can hurt those that will and you said I am protecting her.

    Seems you don't want to answer the question. Why is is it important to you to be sexist in insulting this woman?

    I did. I am saying you feel that you using this specific insult is more important to you than the downside of making an environment that many women feel is uncomfortable and sexist. I don't care if you personally find it sexist or not.

    I guess I would have to cite Mr. Rogers et al. on the benefits of basic kindness towards your fellow humans. Would you say the same for the N word?

    Regardless of my personal take on why this stood out as particularly sexist, why is this particular insult so important that it's worth being hurtful to those it might more meaningfully impact?

    being hurtful to those it might more meaningfully impact?

    The thing is: I don't believe you that calling a tiktok zombie from the video a stupid bitch is hurtful to women.

    My personal opinion doesn't matter to you, your doesn't matter to me.

    Do you recognize that many women would see it as unnecessarily sexist? That you could have just as easily used any similar ungendered insult and not hurt those that find it makes them uncomfortable?

    I didn't start this saying you or the comment were sexist, I started letting you know some folks might feel hurt by it. With this constant defense the question continues to be, why is it more important to you specifically that you use this specific insult even if others are bothered by it?

    Like genuinely, why doesn't it matter to you that it hurts other people's feelings? And why is it so important that you say it on a public forum?

    The phone was clearly on a mount. Not like she was interacting with the phone when the accident happened.

    I hate tiktok as much as the next lemmy user, but damn some of the comments in here are unreasonably hostile (not to mention sexist).

    something i've noticed after being on lemmy for a few months is the comments are absolutely worse than reddit's. nearly every thread i click on, the top comment is someone speculating wildly on something they could have just googled in two seconds. reddit at least sometimes has decent comments at the top, but not lemmy. it's not making me go back to reddit, but i've learned i prefer endless stupid jokes over anger derived from performative stupidity.

    Not a single top level comment is hostile or sexist. I've been a blocking spree lately so it's possible that's why I don't see them but I just don't.

    It's been a common thing on this platform for a long time that there will be like 10 comments and someone will say that all the comments are horrible based on one of them being not great.

    It can take a long time, sometimes several hours, for comments to synchronize across instances because of the way federation works. Not everyone has the same view of comments based on where they are coming from and where a comment originated.

    You shouldn't talk in absolutes like that about top level comments when you know you've taken steps that specifically hide content from your view. You can't talk authoritatively in that situation.

    For a long time

    Years ago this was a thing when my blocklist was like 5 long. Either you haven't been here long or haven't paid attention to this phenomenon like I have. Is it really an absolute if I provide a clear caveat that I might just not be seeing this?
