Clean your windshield, inside and out, and polarized sunglasses, or sunglass clips for glasses. And make sure any level of astigmatism you may have is known and corrected for.

If after washing your windshield, it still scatters the incoming light too much, it is probably pitted. You may have to consider replacing it. It is part of maintaining a vehicle. It may suck to be surprised with an expense like that, but the surprise expense of an avoidable accident is much worse. And might not only be expensive.

Every so often I have moments like this where I encounter actual adults out in the wild and am reminded that I am just masquerading, and poorly.

I recently found a new shower cleaner that actually works for the first time, and it cleaned the heavy deposits from my weird local water on my tub in less than five minutes, which normally takes me half and hour or more of scrubbing.

I felt like a superior adult, started sharing the news with all of my fellow grown up children. Maybe some day I’ll identify a funny noise in my car as well and earn my real adult degree.

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

For those of us adulting along at home, could you tell us the name of the product you used for the shower?

[-] binarytobis@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Made by a company called EcoLab, legitimately made me happy for days every time I saw my tub and remembered it was actually clean.

I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.

I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.

If you've ever watched or read anything with that "wise old hermit" that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can't function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.

Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.

Clean your windshield, inside and out,

Five minutes on a road that gets salted in the winter, and the windshield will be covered in a thin crust left behind by the brine spray from other vehicles. End result is that things will be just as bad when the sun hits you straight on.

Polarized glasses, as you mention, do help, as well as putting down the visor so you don't stare directly into the sun.

That's why it's really important to have enough windshield washer fluid (rated down to whatever cold temperature you might encounter). Just gotta run that once every few minutes.

you put on the hazard lights and slow down while steering to the side of the road to assess the situation or until you can see again.

like holy shit why would you even consider accelerating when you can't see where you're going

Clean your windshield (correctly) and get some polarized sunglasses

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago

Not drive. If you can’t see you are supposed to not drive.

If only there were some device built into all cars to block out the sun and clean your windshield while driving!

Once I was driving up a windy moorland road near Haworth — proper Brontë Country — straight into the sunset and I was going at an absolute crawl, feeling pretty self conscious that I was holding up traffic somehow. Think I made the right decision though as we saw a car that’d tried to go at speed off the road down a gully after entirely missing a corner, with the driver stood on his phone.

This comment section is either too autistic or not autistic enough, because they're either unable to identify the joke in the post, or I'm unable to identify their level 7 advanced satire.

[-] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 days ago

This is lemmy. The only way in ze real life we could deal with jokes is by pretending to not get them, and now it's even taking over our online lives! AAAAAAAH!

I hate this so much. I'm secretly hoping a rock will crack my windshield bad enough that my insurance will pay for a new one.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago

Funny thing about rocks, they are everywhere. Grab one and get crackin

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 24 points 1 week ago

Have you cleaned the inside of your windscreen?

They can get scratched up, but if you haven't cleaned the inside of the glass before, most of the crud is probably there and cleaning it will make a huge difference.

Take a photo of your filthy windshield in the sun so you have something to post as engage-bait when you get home…

Or don’t ever outside and just repost other people’s engage-bait…

Either way.
