Istg headlights are getting brighter and brighter. It’s great to light up the road ahead of me but there’s no point if we’re all blinded from getting flash banged

Great news about blinding LED headlights! Progress! But one thing that sucks about this research is the fact hundreds of thousands of "anecdotal stories" and complaints from all over the world were dismissed for years.

Remember when Aaron Swartz downloaded JSTOR archives that he had full legal rights to download and the FBI hounded him literally to death for it? Anyway,

I would knock doors for anyone who would regulate the brightness of car headlights

Small goal: Legislate the brightness on these stupid headlights

Big goal: ban cars

Hey Gavin Newsom can you do the most anti Brad and Chad thing and ban LED headlights esp on lifted trucks bc Jesus Christ I feel like I’m being beamed up to the mothership every time and this is a hazard for both pedestrians and other drivers.

The super bright LED headlights need to be banned. It's batshit insane how blinding they are.

Would love to see pics of your opthalmologist/optometrist's signage if they're cool with you taking a pic next time!

LED headlights should disarm all of your senses, not just hurt your eyes

This reminds me of the time that I wrote a post about how LED headlights suck and then went to bed and woke up and it had gone viral so I added a post telling people to buy my book and someone accused me of writing a viral tweet about LEDs to sell my book about particle cosmology

One thing that sucks about winter is the sun setting earlier and getting blinded by LED headlights. www.theringer.com/2024/12/03/t...

Driving in heavy rain in the dark when everyone has stupid LED headlights is quite the awful experience.

Also two screens in the car, that's awful too, even after dimming them as much as it lets me.

the LED headlights are getting out of control, I CANNOT SEE.

Abolish LED headlights FOREVER good fucking god

DEPORT LED HEADLIGHTS

Whoever invented LED headlights needs to be rolled down a cliff in a barrel i hate these fucking things

paper sign that reads "While I have your attention...headlights are TOO BRIGHT"

never miss an opportunity to be heard.

Having those overly bright LED headlights is a sign you are a sociopath

spent a couple hours downtown today and there's a lot of white women in their 40s and 50s fedposting harder than i would ever feel comfortable with

this meme is actually just real life

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

If you use blue LED headlights on your car, other drivers should get to pull you out and poke you in the eye

A set of three political environment factors that contribute to social movement success. Elite conflict - When elite groups are in conflict with one another, the political system is more vulnerable. Elites cannot ignore, stigmatize, or repress social movements with a unified voice during crises. Renegade elites may align with a social movement. Public opinion - When a majority of the population supports the goals of a social movement, policy makers are more likely to negotiate—or face being removed from elected office. Favorable public opinion provides a promising environment to use more noninstitutional protests. Elite blunders - Publicly observed blunders by elites during a social movement conflict bring more support to a social movement and harm the legitimacy of elite targets.

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders.

Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

I try to avoid night driving because of the blinding headlights.

Can judges please come down this hard on LED headlights? Blind is blind regardless of whether it's a laser or LEDs.

Unreasonably bright headlights are a scourge Blinded by those ultra-bright low beams? Join the club. It's not just aftermarket bulbs and misalignment: most new OEM lights pose a threat. Excessively bright headlights impair the vision and visib...
