Although filling an entire trunk full of peanut butter, let’s say 500kg worth (assume a 450 litre trunk and density of 1.1 kg/l according to Google), then adding all that weight over the rear axle would affect the handling and balance of the car, potentially making it dangerous and therefore illegal to drive.

So, it’s not actually that clear cut that it wouldn’t be illegal!

That reminds me:

My mom's from way out in the country. The first and only time she was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving was when she had an entire butchered pig from her parents in the back of her station car making it swerve.

And that was less than 1/4 the weight of that peanut butter collection 😄

I like to imagine that it's not jars of peanut butter. Just raw peanut butter, sloshing around when it's warm.

Shhhhhh. I can only get so erect.

I got a bunch of free Coca-Cola once, and some dude at taco bell overheard me say something about "all the coke I have in my trunk". He then tried to sell me some of his coke.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 months ago

Does someone with a trunk full of coke really need the taco bell guy's supply anyway?

[-] watersnipje 15 points 2 months ago

You would think that, if you’ve never used coke

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Oh, that's why people go to Taco Bell

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Either that or because it's a delicious treat

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I fully expect a cop here might arrest you over that.

Civil Asset Forfeiture is one hell of a drug.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

They would totally steal my hundreds of pounds of loose peanut butter.

But I was thinking more along the lines of how the police have no legal requirements to know the law or what doesn’t violate it.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

police have no legal requirements to know the law or what doesn’t violate it

Broadly speaking, that's true. Narrowly speaking, their job isn't to adjudicate your behavior, just to identify and report certain behaviors that might be criminal. Prosecutors are supposed to know the law and determine whether an actual violation has taken place, then press charges or drop them, accordingly.

But because going through the legal process is expensive - both in terms of time and monetary cost - any interaction with the police that results in an alleged offense sets an enormous burden on the accused. And because our legal system is heavily privatized, police bias can result in huge economic tolls put on people who "look suspicious".

This is why its so hard to get good fresh peanutbutter in America, today.

Is this peanut butter in little jars, big jars, bags, or just shoveled in like one giant trunk tub of creamy peanut butter?

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Plastic shopping bags, untied

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Oh so like how you stock up on gas when there's a shortage.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

The real crime is creamy peanut butter

[-] mvilain@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago

Now if it was crunchy peanut butter, I woulda accused the guy of being a pervert.

[-] don@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Cop: You a spoon, shovel, backhoe, or “all of the above plus some” kinda person?

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

Whatever gets it in the hole the easiest. I prefer a douche bag and a thicc tube.

I’m sorry, but this to me is same type of humor as those rage comics
