@i0null And it cracks me up too!! 
Viss@i0null just wait til some dipshit security influencer decides they dont like you, and they use all your shitposts in an intentionally misconstrued way to try to get you fired purely for the sake of their own enjoyment
@Viss ouch, speaking from experience?
@i0null ive been targeted in the past, but it didnt work because i own my own consulting firm. so instead they tormented me for 7 months, ran a disinformation campaign against me, made a game out of trying to get my followers to bail on me, harrassed my cofounder, family, friends, and customers. it was bad.
Phil Haigh@i0null of my goodness yes. So much ‘splaining 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ben From KCI am sorry that went the way it did. I replied with tongue firmly in cheek, was not expecting to launch a 12 hour discussion.
@benfromkc all good lol. i posted this in the middle of the night so only realised when i woke up.

Not to be a jerk but I'm pretty sure that's the brake and the clutch.

Korfox@benfromkc looks like Automatic transmission. @i0null
j4n3z@j4n3z why should the brake pedal be so close to the accelerator? It's not visible if it is one pedal with two attachments or two pedals very close together...
@benfromkc @i0null
@benfromkc @i0null
@Korfox well, you have obviously not driven an early 2000s european cars 😄 especially cheap french models had pedals very close to each other @benfromkc @i0null
@j4n3z the distance between clutch ans brake pedal would be much bigger than between brake pedal and accelerator here.
To make it even more complex: for me it looks like a mirrored image of a car with automatic transmission 🤣. (Regarding the shape of the carpet and the fact that most automatic cars have wide brake pedals...)

@benfromkc @i0null
@Korfox yes, because you operate brake and gas with one foot and clutch with other foot. I did not manage to find correct orientation of the picture through google lens @benfromkc @i0null
Matthew Malthouse@j4n3z @Korfox @benfromkc @i0null Because both are operated with the right foot, so fast to switch between, while the clutch is separated so lefts and right feet don't obstruct each other.
Von Xylofon@vonxylofon
But not at the same time. And your picture shows another detail: in most cars the accelerator is formed different than the other pedals...

@j4n3z @benfromkc @i0null
@Korfox @j4n3z @benfromkc @i0null OP image has the rightmost pedal flat while the middle is curved. 🤷
You did find a model where clutch and brake are close together (which must be a nightmare to use, honestly), maybe because it's RHD, I don't know. What I do know is that in my almost 20 years of experience driving LHD Euro and Asian cars, both manual and automatic, brake and throttle are close, and clutch is further apart. VW, Ford, anything French, Hyundai, all the same.
@vonxylofon
Well I wrote in a toot beside: for me in even looks like a mirrored picture of an automatic transmission car. But finally it all makes no Sense 🤣 and we could discuss endless. (I never drove RHD and I never realized that the distance between clutch and brake is bigger than between brake and accelerator in most cars... In more than 20 years and more than a million of kilometers 😅)

janet (she/her)@vonxylofon @Korfox @j4n3z @benfromkc @i0null nah, thats a british car or something. not mirrored, key is on the wrong side too
@janet_catcus @Korfox @j4n3z @benfromkc @i0null It's not mirrored, both RHD and LHD have throttle on the right, as does this one, so it's RHD.
Edit: throttle and ignition
@vonxylofon yeah, i suppose the edit didnt come through

Peter Bindels@benfromkc @i0null Looks like a piano.
Phogna Bologna@i0null wild how technology has advanced. When I was a kid, that was how you got your car to jump like the Dukes of Hazzard.

ruffy@i0null did you know?
the guy in the picture is actually pressing clutch and brake. That's what you do when you're going downhill with your car. When you used the right amount of breaking, you can make a BBQ on your brakes.
Follow me for more life-hacks like this.
Korallenherz@i0null isn't it a streetshot?

Gerry Chess - I Invented Chess@i0null nah, You will do burnout
kopio@i0null If it's an Apple car, you would need to press the clutch as well to take a screenshot.

Sector9@i0null could be funny if the pic didnt show clutch and brake..
should be fine and as long as you're still in neutral... just loud and obnoxious
Thomas Zander 🏔@i0null This is brake and clutch, no?
ENIGMATICO 
@i0null Pretty sure thats the clutch at the left foot.

Did you check Walter Rorhl footwork video with B class car? He did not do screenshots only.

Leonardo Lanzi@i0null the drawing (or caption) is probably incorrect for most existing cars, but the screenshot can still be interesting
TeflonTrout 
he/him@i0null Okay, I KNOW we are all being silly here but a couple things that are neat:
In some cars, pressing and holding gas and brake when on but not running will reset the oil change notification
The comment stating right-hand drive pedals are the same as left hand drive is correct, I've driven both and can confirm
All joking ends for this lil section: Do NOT use the clutch, and rely on solely the brake when going downhill! Mechanic's son, have rebuilt engines, licensed air brake military truck and trailer driver, and CarTalk fan here- keep the car in gear! Best case scenario you wear out brake pads prematurely, worst case you overheat the brakes and they stop working! You absolutely are not hurting the engine in any way by keeping it in gear- these are the exact forces engines were designed to handle, it makes no difference in which direction the force flows!
Beige bless the person who added the footwork video, Grandpa Trout is an old racer and I love that stuff. For an example of one reason that is used check out a video about Audi introducing all wheel drive to racing on YouTube called "Unfair Advantage"
Allpoints@i0null someone posts a joke and the thread forks into into a discussion about the accuracy of its premise. The beauty of the fediverse is it's still civil and entertaining.
Thanks all for a pleasant diversion over morning coffee

Jason Parker (he/they)@i0null When I was a kid, my mom's car (the one I learned to drive in) would stall (and likely not start again on the first few tries) if you let off the gas pedal all the way. At stop lights, you would have to keep both pedals pressed.
xgerman@i0null a lot of foreign brands used to stick shift assumed drivers would take their foot off the gas and then hit the brakes in US with automatic. Reality was that people used both feet and if they needed to emergency break pressed both pedals to the metal - causing some crashes. Now all cars will cut of the gas pedal when hitting the brakes…
Karl Auerbach@i0null No, I did not know that. However, on our Tesla the way one gets out of Cruise Control mode is to flip the forward/reverse lever into reverse. Really.

Jan Korbel 🐧@i0null We usually have a clutch pedal in Europe. So we can even restart the car!

Yet the example picture shows pressing Clutch and brake!

Richardus@i0null well, that's the break and catch pedal he use. Hope you wear the seatbelt.
marnanel@i0null HOW has nobody yet cited ISO 3409 s4.1, which mandates that the order of the pedals is independent of left/right-hand drive?
"As observed from the driver’s position, the controls shall be in the following order from left to right : clutch pedal, service brake pedal and accelerator pedal."
Fedi standards are slipping :)
Stu Duerson, machina exo deusMy girlfriend hit both the pedals when she tried to avoid a pine tree.
