OOP can tell a truck from a sedan.

Ooh fancy pants over here, able to distinguish colors from each other. Capable of describing things. Having the capacity to tell objects apart.

Basic reading skills and a not completely non-functioning memory is beyond people's abilities?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Don't forget interest. I have 0 interest in learning these things, so they won't stick even if I try. And I've tried.

I'm more discerning regarding the model of my first car, or similar models. Got used to finding that car in a parking lot, etc.

Meh same with dog, tree, flower, architecture, bird, etc, people.

Sedan? Yeah no. Brown car. Saying sedan makes you sound like some kind of car expert.

Do you know why a chicken coop has two doors? If it had four, it'd be a chicken sedan

Lol, I can tell engines apart just based on sound....

[–] banshee@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

I still have a soft spot for the sound of a boxer engine

I used to be like that back in highschool/college when I was more into cars. It was fun being able to find the small details of the car to single out which year model it was and stuff like that.

Now, I don't have the time or interested to do that any more.

[–] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Haha thats me. Just was always into knowing what I was looking at. Comes in really handy too.

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Knowing the headlight shape of Chevy Impala, and Ford interceptors at night is handy to know when you are speeding towards a cop on a lonely highway.

I used to be able to detect a 90s Chrysler/Dodge engine by their sound. It was very distinctive across the whole range.

Not a lot of those survived. Their transmissions sucked ass. I don't think I could do it anymore.
