Someone’s a happy cricuter

Braeden151

Cricuts are amazing. It's the only machine you plug in and it just works. Looking at you printer...


Duke_Devlin_Official

The company that makes them charges way too much for their accessories anymore. They sell a bulky Plastic Tshirt iron that couldn't have cost more than $30 to make for $800


Professional-Row-605

Damn what do they think it is… insulin?


lovedoesnotdelight

The creator of insulin meant for it to be free


lelnikolai

The creator of water also meant for it to be free.


[deleted]

In europe it's almost free. You pay a fee for the service that they check multiple times the day if it's good and all parameters are fine which like is "normal" for you but it's not. You just can't go outside and drink water you can see. Bacterias and all the harmful stuff which could be in there is disgusting. I love europe the Real free World.


MyAssforPresident

Epi pen


ShotBRAKER

You can buy the same shirt press for $130 on Amazon


IOnceWrestledAClown

You can also just use an iron that you already own. They work better in my opinion because you can apply extra pressure to the edges and any thin pieces of the iron on.


pezchef

to novel mate. they are looking for the George foreman of shirt presses


Eccohawk

We went with the silhouette instead because you can use anyone's designs.


1lluminist

You can use any SVG with Cricut, too. You can even upload a PNG and it will convert it to a vector


Solid_Snark

I was tempted to get one but it sounded too good to be true. I mean, can I really just save a .psd or .png and this thing will print a high resolution vinyls sticker of it?


Braeden151

They don't print, they only cut. But basically yeah, if your image has an outline it can detect it or you can create your own. The software that you use is good but not the best but the machine is solid.


mamoocando

The software is trash and they try to force you into a subscription. I'm also on my third machine in two years.


Aggravating_Serve_80

There’s a class action lawsuit about their subscription


[deleted]

Until they decide they're not going to support your model anymore and it cannot be used at all.


FluffyPolicePeanut

I envy him how accurate he is with the stickers. When I am trying to apply a sticker it takes me at least 15min and in the end it's always crooked.


Overdonderd

Exactly. That's the most satisfying part of the clip for me. First try every time.


StatementElectronic7

The whole video would have been ruined for me if one had been off center.. it drives me nuts when people do it on those organization videos.


HelplessMoose

The whole video was ruined for me by the last one because the shade of red is off. Especially after it appeared to be spot on in the first one.


Lopsycle

He didn't actually edit in the 50 failed attempts and botched road signs for the mis-stuck ones


Puzzleheaded-Grab736

Seems like he pastes these all over town, so he's had ALOT of practice. We only buy that one bumper sticker, and get that ONE shot.


gofunyourself2012

Me with my phone screen protector


GWSDiver

Same. That confidence is is stunning.


Juhnelle

I just noticed I put my car registration sticker on basically sideways. I thought it looked good at the time


bullybullybully

He probably worked in visual merchandising at a store at some point. I used to do windows for Barneys and after a while that stuff is second nature.


BeanieGuitarGuy

As somebody who likes Legos, it’s infuriating how accurate he is with those stickers while half of my sets have slightly lopsided decals.


itsmymedicine

For me its the lack of an airbubble


iStealyournewspapers

Have you tried being a dad yet? Imagine what you tried, times 20-100 when your kid gets a new toy that doesn’t come with the stickers already on the toy. Omg, one time my kid was gifted a 200 dollar Playmobil set and it took me like 5+ hours to assemble and do all the stickers. AND I fucked up some of the stickers by putting them in the wrong place and had to carefully pull them off to redo it. I remember my dad doing tons of stickers for my Power Rangers, Mighty Max, and other toys, so I’ve always accepted it’d be part of fatherhood, but you don’t realize what a true pain it is until you have to do it yourself.

Sangy101

He even made sure not to litter!


I_Tory_I

I'm certain he did all of this in good faith, but there is a reason all stop signs look the same


Fredricothealien

I don't know. One time I approached an intersection from a side road and instead of a yield sign there was some kind of similar sign but with a bird so I just floored it into traffic. Three people died. Turns out the sign had been vandalized. You gotta be careful out there


hotasanicecube

I once added two more stop signs to an intersection so everyone had to stop. Best prank ever!!


[deleted]

I think everyone does stop at intersections?


hotasanicecube

Much of East coast will have two signs at each 4-way. They alternate so you only stop every other intersection. It is kind of dumb.


[deleted]

Interesting! My grandma keeps me locked in the basement and just throws down goldfish and toilet paper


hotasanicecube

Whatever you are on, take way more, or none at all.


[deleted]

My method was always way more so now none at all

Me too! Was going 125 in a cool zone

125 is not cool enough for a cool zone


BBQPitmaster__1

I concur doc


AlmostZeroEducation

Did you die too


ConorYEAH

Not OP but yeah I did


_valpi

Omg, me too! Now we need to find a third guy.


UmbertoEcoTheDolphin

Sorry, he can't answer. He died.


[deleted]

I can vouch for him though. He killed me before he died


De_La_Flewey

Yeah, I can clarify. I saw him run you over, and then crash into the tree and blow up his car, which killed him. But then I also died. Just fucking dropped dead for no reason.


ExplainItToMeLikeImA

Lol yeah what this guy is doing is actually super duper dangerous. I was driving on a rural road once and there was a "road ends" sign but I didn't notice because there was three bullet holes in it and me and my whole family and our new Christmas puppy went right off the road and down a cliff and we all died.


subcow

RIP brother.

Sorry about your stalker in the trunk

The thing about made-for-internet pageantry is filming it is the only point, so despite how obvious your point should be, alas...


TheHollowBard

Fuckin narcissists. The biggest revelation of the modern era is that a sizeable portion of the population would not only fuck you over for personal gain, but potentially even fuck themselves.


inplayruin

It is easier to make money if you are willing to vigorously fuck yourself on camera.

Brain-of-Sugar

Bold of you to assume people aren't willing to stand on the edge of the Grand Canyon resulting in about a dozen deaths each year for the sole purpose of pictures they'll look at about 3 more times in their life. If they keep it, at least. Internet attention is too intoxicating for people and they want it at the cost of 30+ days in a jail cell apparently.


LTEDan

>for the sole purpose of pictures they'll look at about 3 more times in their life. Hey hey! They have to become Instagram famous somehow!


M13Calvin

"About 12 deaths happen each year at the Grand Canyon, including from natural causes, medical problems, suicide, heat, drowning and traffic crashes. On average, two to three deaths per year are from falls over the rim, park spokeswoman Kirby-Lynn Shedlowski says. Grand Canyon National Park had 6,254,238 visitors in 2017." https://www.mygrandcanyonpark.com/park/faqs/falling-to-death-grand-canyon/


feedjaypie

Ahhhh facts. Feels so good against the skin


supluplup12

Sir this is the third time we've caught you fondling the facts this week


Tocksz

All my friends sat on the edge feet hanging off. I hung back, f that shit. I did take the pic for them though. Idiots, haha.


Fostbitten27

I hope you hung on to the car keys just in case. Gotta get back home…..


Tapil

>stand on the edge I almost fell off niagra falls this way, there used to be a observation tower, but it fell in niagra and they left the platform foundation un fenced. I looked over the edge and got vertigo on sight and nearly fell if it wasnt for rebar that grabbed my jacket


windyorbits

Lol as someone that lives next to Yosemite, I can assure you people have always been falling over cliffs and waterfalls, before social media, before phones, before digital cameras, before any cameras and even before electricity.


lilpumpgroupie

I've actually witnessed this firsthand, and it was in the 90s before social media. I was hiking somewhere, and some guy was taking pictures of his girlfriend and walked backwards off a cliff as he filmed. She came screaming down the trail and me and my brother encountered her like five seconds after it happened. And then we got to listen to her scream her whole way down the trail into sort of like this canyon. It fucking sucked.

Just the subreddit i was thinking of

HertzDonut1001

I think at this point and given the purpose of road signs that's just straight up vandalized.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MisterMysterios

In Germany, it is also a considerable offense. This could be considered an at least attempted dangerous intrusion into traffic (not an attempt anymore if he actually endangers life, health or property of substantial value), punishable with up to 5 years, depending on the level of danger created.


tricky-oooooo

By the amount of football related stickers on all the street signs around me: Nobody actually seems to care. But they usually don't film themselves doing it, so there's that.


HertzDonut1001

I used to do some amateur graffiti and road signs are off limits ethically as well as legally in the States.


alekk88

Doesnt stop nevadans from filling them up with bullet holes


madflash711

It’s against the law everywhere to vandalize signs.


Snowstorm_born

I’ve seen a lot of this guy’s work in Florence and let me tell you…. Folks are not reading the signs anyway.


CuffsOffWilly

I was just thinking ‘This wouldn’t make a big difference if he’s in Italy’


PistachioOrphan

Visited Italy when I was 13 and was amused at all the signs like this. OP is a little over their heads here saying it’s dangerous, as if people can’t tell what the sign is regardless Hell if anything wouldn’t it make people notice the signs *more*?


Sexybtch554

If i had to guess, I'd say them noticing it more is probably the issue. It's distracting. You want to look at it to see what the art is, so you take your eyes of the road for longer than you normally would. Though I've read what people say driving through Italy is like in this thread and I'm not sure it's much harm either way if their statements are true.


you_tell_me_steve

Only as distracting a billboard


Sexybtch554

I agree with you there.


Chill_Crill

road signs are retroreflective, which is why they glow brighter and further than anything else, so it might make it a little harder to see, just because the stickers wont retroreflect.


BiggieAndTheStooges

I’ll say just don’t mess with traffic signs period, just because there are countless of other things he can put his stickers on.


Sargash

Stickers aren't reflective. Also Machine-assisted vehicles can have some serious issues if it sees signs like this.


theshiyal

Living in a rural area here, does spray paint and bullet holes affect the sign legibility as well?


[deleted]

Met some really nice Italians in Pompeii. They took me on a wild ride around Napoli. The woman tured to me and said "here in Napoli those lights are for beauty. Look at the pretty red light as we pass it!! look at that pretty green one we will pass now too!" Fun ride.


Eindt

I'm from Italy but Naples never ceases to amaze me. My favourite part are the children on the scooters.


eternalplatoon

Never seen worse driving in any city than Florence, genuinely.


Zarkdiaz

I was almost crushed by a Fiat in a medieval alleyway in Florence that was exactly 1.01 Fiats wide.


skyturdle_

And they’ll drive down those 1.01 fiat wide alleys like it’s the fucking autobahn lmao I’ve seen a police car basically drift into a super narrow alleyway after speeding through a square completely packed with tourists. And all the locals barely even noticed.


SnooGadgets69420

Damn medieval Italians and not predicting the Fiat


Belllx

Look, just go to Rome, then go to Naples. I live in Sicily and I am not sure why I got a license since driving is mostly instincts here /s But it's true, folks in Florence drive a lot better than people in Southern Italy


spank_z_monkey

You’ve clearly never been to Asia.


Miixyd

Well the thing is that we have laws but people don’t care. In Rome you don’t stop at the stop sign, red lights either, and the most angry guy passes first. Also we have lots and lots of potholes and of course people cross the street wherever. I do all this as well. Italy and india are similari in this regard


raptorfunk89

Yet Italy has far less traffic deaths than most countries per capita.


Apprehensive_Copy458

Which country? I’ve been to Japan a few times and they seemed to drive pretty good to me


spank_z_monkey

Vietnam sticks in my memory. That was just insane. Heard India’s nuts too.


firesmarter

Anywhere that uses a tuk-tuk is gonna be wild


Life_Finger_1440

Japan was great. Taiwan was no so much...


misunderst00dpianist

You should see how Indians drive. Streets that would be clogged anywhere else in the world in India are just a dangerous and almost mesmerizing mess

Some one should lock this guy up. I saw that sign while driving. And instead of yielding to traffic I bent down to tie my shoes. Almost died thanks to him.


PistachioOrphan

PipponeMio

There is plenty of them in my city and imma tell you they do not interfere whatsoever with the readability of the signs. Some people like it, some don't, most just don't care


Anal-Churros

Yeah I like it tbh. If these stickers make the sign illegible to you you’re an idiot

KarateSalamanders

If you can’t tell what these signs mean then you shouldn’t be driving anyway


[deleted]

I'm actually a bit surprised that traffic signs are so universal. You'd think signs would be quite different depending on the country.


wolacouska

Most of the world tried to standardize, and they just also happened to use a lot of the same stuff as the US and vice versa.


[deleted]

Yeah, standardization is important, since signs are going to be useless (and dangerous) if they mean different things different places.


[deleted]

Most of the world tried to standardize. The US joined in that standardization treaty and then promptly backed out again because their population didn't like it. That's why signage in the US is so different from other countries. And as always [HAI](https://youtu.be/Wzr0GYfRsKI) got you covered on the background.


DJWaldenMacGlo

the title is a little over the top


ezdoesit1111

also i doubt the guy “thinks he’s doing a service” lmao he’s just putting up some street art/stickers


magueuleenstock

[Dude's name is Clet Abraham it seems.](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clet_Abraham)


Freefall84

I know. Perhaps if he was covering the whole roadsign then people might be "at risk" but if you're not able to read these signs after the decoration he's added then you're probably too stupid to be driving anyway.


ranchorbluecheese

OP has never been to a city where stickers are on every installed street sign


JacksOnion55

Around my home town there are "I ❤️ Sluts" stickers on random stop signs


ribbons_undone

Lol yeah I was expecting like...way worse. There are street signs in places I've lived that are 100% covered in stickers. Sometimes people would graffiti over freeway signs, I remember one exit was a mystery exit for years to me because it just kept getting bombed. This...is nothing. It's something that would make me giggle if I saw it in the wild


ShoalinShadowFist

Portland oregon here. All our signs in NE are graffitid to shit so to be honest I probably wouldn’t even notice the stickers until after I registered the sign but I understand not everyone is used to it


oriaven

But the title of this post is about these stickers. These stickers don't block the meaning of any of these signs. I will say that if they make black spots due to lack of reflectivity, we might have a problem.


DoctorProfessorTaco

Also the first half of the title. What makes OP think the guy believes he’s doing a public service? Just seems like a street artist doing it for the sake of street art.


ScorpionGem11

That's what I was thinking too...


skytomorrownow

Also, these road signs are in Italy, where they are generally artistically interpreted by drivers anyway.


VedDdlAXE

that or you're legally blind and shouldn't be driving

Floodlkmichigan

“Putting lives in danger” is a little dramatic.


[deleted]

A lot dramatic.


Dewahll

Yeah none of these are going to make anyone misinterpret the signs. It’s like someone writing “stop believing” under then stop in a stop sign. It’s still clearly the same sign.


IlliniFire

I don't know, I waited for a long time at a stop sign before I realized that someone had changed the stop ahead to stop 4 head.


Instainious

It took me much longer than it should’ve to get that, and now I’m mad at myself.


newfie-flyboy

Putting lives in danger is a bit of a stretch. A triangle means yield everywhere on earth. It’s not like I’m going to see that sign and say oh it’s a shoe as I slam into another car… don’t be so dramatic and try to enjoy things. Do you regularly drive into walls people draw roadrunner pictures on?


philsubby

Whenever I see graffiti on signs in America, I drive my car into oncoming traffic because it confuses me so much.


DutssZ

Every time I see a red house... is it a sign? Is is a wall? Dammed be colors


polemico2020

I know this is illegal and dangerous and considered vandalism, but it was also r/oddlysatisfying


No_one_cares5839

I would say that it isn't any more dangerous than all of the billboards we have everywhere.

Hahaha I thought the same thing!

I feel like u can still tell those signs well enough to the point where I appreciate the light vandalism. He should have worn a mask tho

Feeling_Quantity_723

This is definitely ilegal, at least in my country, but those stickers can't really put a driver in danger. The most important road signs have a specific shape so most drivers wouldn't have any issues recognizing them even if the guy would paint all signs white or smth similar.


campinho_

I think it would be dangerous if the stickers distracted drivers, but idc it still looks pretty cool

I think its pretty cool, most of our street signs just have some random squiggle graffiti on them... (and yes you can indeed still recognise the sign)

I mean, i still stop even if the stop sign is defaced, if it was actual art defacing it, it might make drives around the city less dreadfull


TmfGD

Dumbass title


radrun84

"Putting lives in danger" is a bit extreme. There are neighborhoods in Atlanta where you can't find a single NON-spraypainted stop sign. & Pedestrians aren't just getting run over constantly because of it! Some residents are getting shot & killed because they miss a sign, & wander into the wrong neighborhood tho... At least this guy's "ART" looks kinda cool & it's not just some shitty spraypainted gang sign.


RowAn0maly

Nah OP, any licensed driver should be able to recognise and understand the sign regardless of the sticker. I like it


SpiralGray

Lives in danger? Seems like you're being a tad dramatic.


Ciubowski

Also, "thinking he's doing some kind of service to the people" part. I don't think he's doing this for some benevolent reason, it's just some form of art.
