This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't really understand how that improves safety. I guarantee you don't know how your computer works because no one knows how a computer works.

It's all too damn complex now.

I'm not eligible to use my lungs because the gas diffusion physics at work are baffling to me.

As everyone knows, lungs are dangerous technology.

I do know how a computer works though, at least the abstract idealized computer. I really hope I know because my last long term project was about machine learning models (not how to apply, but how to improve models), otherwise...

How it improves safety: Knowing the limits of the system you use is quite useful wouldn't you agree? Knowing why brakes can fail, and in which conditions would be a lifesaver for example.

Maybe it's ADHD dude, I learn what I use.

How does this relate to a dealership? Someone already mentioned, they're just a greedy middleman, and provide no benefit to the consumer in the modern day
