What really worries me is if an AI were to go rogue and repeatedly fill in this form with plausible but false details.

https://www.ice.gov/webform/ice-tip-form

It'd waste hundreds of hours of brave ICE enforcer time, and clog up the internal system. Especially if it kept passing in duplicates, because the site specifically warms against that.

Glue a bb in the valve cap. It’ll let the air out with no sign of tampering. And happen angain every time they top it up.

[-] exhaust_fan@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Won't it loudly hiss air when they refill and screw cap back on?

[-] sleepmode@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

It should slowly leak out if you tighten it just so. Probably depends on the valvecap design but generally the standard black ones will not leak rapidly even if they screw them all the way. A peppercorn or airsoft bb will also work.

I hear lentils work as well, possibly the most economic and eco friendly option.

[-] deathbysnusnu@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That's brilliant!

I was confused for a second because I read "ICE" as internal combustion engine. In my defense: I'm not American and "ICE" is commonly used that way in Formula 1

Yeah I genuinely thought this was a FuckCars moment at first

[-] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 6 days ago

Damn, you really need a different acronym for that.
I seriously thought this was some extremist fuckcars shit.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Fuckcars aren't out to spare EVs over ICEs.

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

Fuckcars aren't, anti-oil folks might be

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I am so tired and also so stupid that even after reading your comment I still didn't get it. And then finally it clicked based on what you wrote.

Sigh.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That's because it is. Originally at least

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

What is so extreme about limiting the movement of people that want to hurt innocent people?

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago

Before I saw someone link ice.gov, I thought this meant "internal combustion engine" vehicles. I imagine many others will as well

This suggestion is going to get someone's Honda Civic disabled just because it has an engine lmao

Facebook uses php? Ew.

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Take the valves out of the valve stems.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

The caps on the valve stem of my old bike had a tool in the opposite end for doing this moulded in. Small and convenient.

[-] ZeffSyde@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

If the screw in valve caps are accessible it would be unfortunate if a single lentil got shoved into the cap. That would cause a slow leak without physically damaging the tire.

[-] Jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I like this idea

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Don't get hung up deciding between all the different suggestions in this thread. They are all good. Do whichever seems right in the moment. The important thing is that you do something. Every bit helps.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 119 points 1 week ago

Alternatively, you don't want to get busted for destruction of federal property:

https://www.autozone.com/tire-repair-and-tire-wheel/tire-valve-stem-core-remover-tool

These can be found as cheap as maybe $1, and by just removing the cap, you can simply unscrew the valve stem and walk away, replacing the cap. It does no long term or meaningful damage to the vehicle (unless they drive on the flats), and you can easily attach it to a key chain so you always have one with you.

As an EV driver I was very confused at first. I know they arent great for the environment but that seemed extreme.

Then I realized what you meant.

Or you could put a small stone in the valve stem cap and twist it on just enough to slowly leak.

Takes a bit longer but it’s going to hit a while from now, maybe while they’re driving.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 49 points 1 week ago

Read that on the internet, did you?

I believe I am, for all intents and purposes, the actual originator of that trick (in terms of publishing it on the internet, anyway). You have no idea how much it warms the cockles of my twisted little black heart to see that someone else posted this before I was able to.

Definitely don't do that. Rapidly letting all of the air out is VERY VERY LOUD. Instead, "do not" have a valve stem tool in your pocket and DEFINITELY do not barely loosen the stem core so that it leaks out slower but much more quietly, allowing you to be long gone when they "go flat".
