YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

Many seem to have the attitude that if you never use them, the bulbs will never burn out. Problem solved.
How is your BMW these days?
Here it's the pickup trucks
Here's the EVERY FUCKING ONE. Seriously what's wrong with you people? It's bad enough that cars in the US aren't forced to use amber turn signals, but I guess it doesn't matter here because no one ever touches the damn blinkers!
What do they have if not amber turn signals?
Oh boy, do I have a surprise for you. Their cars blink the brake lights. You read that right. Bonus video
Interesting. I never thought the turn signals are amber by mandate in other places.
I can't speak for everywhere, but in Brazil the emitted light must be amber by law. Some after market parts and some auto makers get creative and manage to put a red mask on it that somehow still lets amber light through. But it's rare.
It's not by mandate. It's a bad fad that is unregulated. Front blinkers are still amber.
Edit: I misread your comment.
Let's go technology connections
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Except when they're already merging in front of you. It's like thanks bud, glad you thought to use the signal when two of your wheels were already over the line cutting me off. Cool cool cool.
I am willing to cut some slack in a "oh shit, forgot the blinker this one time!" spirit. But yeah, using means using it properly. Enough in advance that other cars can react and don't forget the fucking thing on forever. How do people not get annoyed by the clicks?
Imagine BMW and Tesla collaborate on a pickup truck, comes with a free box of bud light.
