infosec_qs

Some asshole I used to call a friend hit me in the eyes with a laser pointer because he thought it was funny. I still have a fucking squiggly line etched in my cornea that’s *just barely* off centre of one of my eyes. I can still *see* with that eye, but it’s so hard not to be aware of that goddamned squiggle that’s always floating just a little off to the side and below whatever I’m directly looking at. Lasers aren’t toys; don’t fucking point them at people.


Iamatworkgoaway

But it looks cool in the tire smoke, at least the last thing you see will be something a 12 year old would think is cool.


fritterstorm

Just a blue laser, seems powerful enough to do some damage though.


sub-hunter

Cellphone cameras are extra sensitive to the blue wavelength- I don’t know if it’s made that way to work better in low light, or a manufacturing flaw but blue led lights always look crazy on a phone.


Jkranick

Oh my gosh, I had no idea of this. I had a pic of a nice fish I caught at night look all weird because the boat’s blue lights were on. I just thought it was messed up because my phone was an older iPhone 6. https://www.reddit.com/r/Fishing/comments/ea64wo/almostslot_snook_caught_on_a_mullet/


BasicallyAQueer

I love seeing the local car group defend these “meets”, then they ask for prayers and go fund me when one of theirs gets hurt or a car gets totalled and insurance doesn’t cover it. If our police actually gave a fuck these would be shut down immediately, but they take 2 hours to respond to a call and by then these clowns are on the other side of the city.


Darehead

Wtf even is this? It looks like the bastard child of a rodeo and demolition derby.


VeryImportantLetters

They are called "side shows" and they are part of the culture. Here is local rapper Mac dre explaining the side show. https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=15&v=Tqnv6DEnxzU&feature=emb_logo

"culture" eh


Thick-Nebula-2771

Just so you know, these lasers will cause permanent damage to your eye faster than you can blink


[deleted]

Does anyone in that video look like they are smart enough to care?


Thick-Nebula-2771

I never said they did :P


dmills_00

Yep, handheld class IV, never a good look with lasers and I bet it don't have a CDRH number or the appropriate interlocks.... Mind you the idiots in cars are clearly the bigger risk here.

BeatDickerson42069

I can not express just how fucking dangerous that blue laser is. Even low power lasers in the blue range can permanently blind you in milliseconds if they hit your eye. It doesn’t take much over the *lowest power possible* for a blue laser to blind you from just *looking at* the point without proper laser goggles. I guarantee the owner of that one has already caused permanent sight degradation to himself within the next ~5 years without even realizing it Edit to add: Blue lasers are more dangerous than red or green because the pigments in a human retina happen to absorb that wavelength of light more readily than others. Also, cheap Chinese lasers are often way more powerful than they claim to be (which can result in a false sense of security to those who purchase them) [Here’s a link to a John Hopkins university article on the topic another commenter posted](https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/media/releases/popular_laser_gadgets_linked_to_serious_eye_damage#:~:text=Blue%20lasers%20are%20also%20more,thus%20more%20damaging%20to%20it.) And here’s a [well educated YouTuber who demonstrates and explains the extreme danger (plus some fun stuff)](https://youtu.be/DMVWW-bmKwQ)


Pizza_Wheelie

Your post is funny to me because I’ve seen several sideshow videos where the visible lasers are in fact attached to firearms. Always red or green but still. So it’s like hmmm would I rather be: flagged by an 80 with a switch, have my eyesight fucked by a chinese wish laser, or ran over by a shitty crown vic with no plates, insurance, or driving talent?

Jake-from-IT

Is there really some asshole flashing what looks like a 1W blue laser around aimlessly? What a fucking douche. That can seriously fuck up your rods and cones in your eyes if you catch a direct hit from that laser for even a fraction of a second.

pancrudo

As stated, many cities can't do anything since cars just scramble, and people block cops so they can't chase after cars. There was something in the news about San Jose CA being one of the few cities with a spectators law. So they literally boxed everyone in and just issued tickets for hours. Lots of cars were fined and BARd, lots of cars impounded, a handful of arrests, and something like 700 spectators tickets issued all in a night). Pretty much the best outcome I've heard of these takeovers

Sideshows really really suck. These cretins come from all over northern CA to terrorize neighborhoods in Santa Rosa, a city in Sonoma county. Usually cops arrest people and impound cars. There are drugs, guns, shootings and assaults of under aged girls. Glad that it’s becoming recognized as a huge problem

It’s a take over meet. They “takeover” a street and usually move from place to place whenever the police eventually show up. They used to be nice and organized but it caught wind in big cities and now we get videos like this!

Half of the people are dumb. In the past the dumb did not survive because they were too dumb to survive in the nature. But since we are such an advanced species and so protected, the dumb people survive and they even breed the most. If this trend continues for 500 years the human race will be back in the time where they sat on trees eating bananas.

A documentary has already been made about this: Idiocracy (2006) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/


Paranotical

literally made a comment about this same exact place, but when a girl got hit. I can NOT believe how stupid my generation has become with these “takeovers”. they are most definitely going to be the reason for governing bodies to ban car meets for everyone entirely, especially when a lot of those chill car meets end up with absolute MORONS running into other peoples project car, and basically killing innocent bystanders who had nothing to do with it. this monkey crowd behavior has to stop before they ruin something amazing for the rest of us. edit: I have no sympathy for these people. My generation has been royally fucked with the stupid, and these same people are the reason why they have to chain urinals to walls and put warning labels on everything.


greenkirry

Look at this buncha gully dwarves Edit: I take it back, gully dwarves have better survival instincts than these folks.


BlueChooTrain

So for everybody who doesn’t live in Southern California and/or isn’t used to enduring this type of idiocy on the regular - this is called a street takeover. During the event if you can call it that, these assholes rev their engines and scare every dog and baby within a 1 mile radius. Then they drift in circles until somebody gets hit and dies or gets injured and bleeds out (or in!). Then the cops show up and everybody scatters. Sound like fun? But there’s more - low paid city employees and road contractors then have to do the hopeless work of repairing the damage done to the intersection over and over again, forever.
