The lack of notes from the editor in this story is telling.
A promise worth keeping. Thanks, Torch.
Torch, I for one am deeply offended that you could possibly think that the discerning and mature readers of this site would EVER be distracted from an in-depth article on Dieselgate by poop humor. Thanks, however, for posting this now so we can all, ummm, get it out of our system.
I thought you were referring to the content of David’s son’s diapers.
Surely I’m not the only one who can draw a direct line from an article about shit and an article about VW?
TL;DR
I assume you’re talking about more DT “I have too many shitty vehicles I’m irrationally holding onto, what should I keep / sell?” content.
Based on my assumption, thank you.
Truly elevating the written word into pure art
Someone get this man a Pulitzer….no…. a Nobel Prize!
I’m not convinced an explanation would improve the situation.
Double thanks for also removing the “DeeperDive” queries below the top image. It makes me think of the “Would You Rather” posts… Would I endure half a year of mysterious mudbutt if it meant never seeing political rage-bait pop-ups for the rest of my life? Hmm.
Also, those articles were fun and I miss them.
When you’re driving in your Jeep and your undies start to seep…
Come on, let’s get a thread going with the childhood diarrhea song!
When you’re wrenching on your nash but your rear has a rusty rash…
When you’re driving a go-kart and oh no that’s not a fart…
When you’re doing bodywork and your rear end goes berserk…
When you drive past the rest stop and you hear a mighty plop…
When you get in the left lane and it stinks just like a drain…
When driving in your Chevy and pants get awful heavy
When you’re wrenching on your Fiat and your butt is blasting shi-at
When you’re sitting in your coupé but your pants are full of poop
When you’re dragging down the strip but your trousers start to drip
When you’re goin’ really fast and your butthole starts to blast
Mentally I read this as “but your pants are full of poo-pay.”
When your trousers start to seep into your perforated seats…
When you’re cruisin’ in your ‘Vette but your pants are gettin’ wet…
What an appropriate tales from the slack just before National Taco Day next week.
Okay am I the only one that is wondering what causes 6 months of explosive diarrhea? At what point does regular diarrhea become explosive? Did someone come up with 6 definition and a test to diagnose explosive diarrhea? Did anyone contact Med whatever and try to sell them and ad? I think you should have allowed DT to make his case here or agree with you.
However is you argument the asthetics of the screenshot or the fact it is more attention grabbing?
And again what causes 6 months of explosive diarrhea? This is more important than diesel gate.
I think priorities need to be discussed.
being pedantic here, but it said unexplained diarrhea, not explosive… Doesn’t make me any less curious though about What DOES cause 6 months of diarrhea? Temu ozempic?
Explosive diarrhea is obvious when it happens.
When I was a teenager, my younger sisters were sort of friends with a girl across the street. One day, she was over and ran out of our house, pounding the floor on her way past my room. I didn’t think much of it until I went to take a leak a few minutes later and found bits of shit like ass grenade shrapnel blown all over the inside of the toilet lid, the seat, the bowl, and probably a bit on the floor, and I immediately called everyone’s attention to this situation. After the hazmat problem was secured, we wondered exactly how she managed the spray pattern that was displayed. If Dexter had been on back then, we might have been imagining strings to pinpoint the location of the source at the time. I’m sure it was explosive diarrhea, but how was she moving at the time? The angle and apparent velocity of the upper chunks that reached the very top of the lid had me wonder if she was the accidental true inventor of what would be known as twerking in that it almost looked like her ass blew up prematurely, not simply while attempting to sit, but that there could have been an upward motion at point of detonation. It’s more likely that she was attempting to sit while bent over at an odd angle, perhaps doubled over by cramps, but that’s not as funny to demonstrate.
This explains some of the poor editing and inaccuracies which drives me bonkers here. What surprises me that it’s coming from an engineer.
We notice this stuff.
David, I love you, truly, but Jason is right and I’m willing to pay all y’all to take the time and get it right. Thank you for not subjecting us to the original version of that screenshot.
Seriously, your concerns about trying to get things right is one of the big reasons to support this site. All of you on the staff genuinely care about the quality of what you’re putting out there unlike the general slop that passes for media these days. That’s also why our readership bothers to point out errors in your articles; you’ll actually do something about it to make the product better.
Why would he argue? You are the number two expert at the Autopian.
Based on your username, are you also the number two expert at the Autopian?
He’s the runner-up.
Number 1 in the number 2 business!
So the question is: how did David’s algo cough up this banner ad? Surely not just from looking up baby stuff plus maybe AI being able to connect him back to shower spaghetti?
Or, here’s my Grand Unifying Theory – after buying the last new i3 and today’s expen$$$ive Shitbox Showdown Jeep, Elise really did send him to live in his cars in the Galpin lot, and with those bills even with an affiliate discount he can’t afford to eat at the Horseless Carriage that much so he’s been hitting that Taco Bell on Orion just off Roscoe pretty hard lately…
Everyone knows that the Del Taco at Roscoe and Woodman is better.
Now may not be the time to go with your GUT.
