It’s not wrong. Not quite as much info as following the average person on socials, but it can be a lot of info at a glance.
Once had a cop show up one day, just asking about something going on in the area, and noticed an empty TV box by my trash can outside. Suggested I uh, don’t do that. Basically a big sign pointing to my house “brand new TV inside!”. Not done that since.
Yeah, you gotta put that stuff in the annoying neighbor’s yard
My NIN sticker says I still live in 1994
“How’s Max doing?”
“Max is fine”
hangs up
“Your Foster Parents… are Dead”
Plot Twist: The Dog’s name is actually Wolfie, the car sticker is a trick to fool mass surveillance.
Take that, Skynet!
(Sorry if this is offtopic, but I had to post it)
I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.
The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.
They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.
The baby on board sticker is mainly to alert EMS services to look in case of a car crash and possible ejection of the child.
I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.
I wonder what my Trogdor the Burninator sticker is secretly telling people about me.
“I’m a millennial who was on the internet before it was cool and likely work in IT. Also I have good taste in videos.”
I’m not a millennial, but I do kinda sorta work in IT, so half guilty as charged. Back to practicing my consummate Vs now.
Honestly though you got me there, I think being on Lemmy is a much stronger predictor of someone working in IT than whether or not they watched Homestar Runner, haha.
Like shot in the dark accusations of IT work here you’ll hit someone 9 times out of 10.
Fair. I’ve been trying to explain Lemmy and the Fediverse to my non-tech friends and it has been…entertaining.
Only thing my car says is that I’m a weeb who can’t aim (Old OW Mercy Decal and a Sukuna Decal)
The amount of “OREGUNIAN” and Sig Sauer decals on people trucks, cars and the occasional Jeep Liberty in my area is tragically comical. Just drive through any neighborhood where garages aren’t common and you could pick out ten houses to rob later.
You couldn’t ask for a bigger target to paint on yourself.
Yeah no robber is doing this.
Stalker yes. But most people don’t get stalked.
And this is coming from someone who thinks any bumper stickers that contain any words is trashy.
In high school, I used to look for the most offensive bumper stickers possible. My favorite was from a band I liked that said “Genitorturers sodomized my honor student”. Let’s just say that parents of other kids did not like it.
Where’s the blue line flag
I remember for a while back in the late 90’s maybe, a lot of kids would have one of those custom airbrushed shirts youd get at a flea market or county fair with their name in BIG BOLD and colorful lettering all the way across the front.
Little kids playing at their local park could easily be approached by a stranger saying, “hey joey! Your mom told be to pick you up. She’s in the hospital and we have to leave right now!” The panicked child follows the man who is seemingly confirmed sent by his mom because he knows his first name, forgetting anyone who’s not legally blind within a block of him also knows his name.
Luckily we don’t see much of that these days. Creeps are now limited to accessing merely every single detail of a child’s life because mom runs a Facebook or Instagram for their child.
