- llm_nerd 6mo agoCan you provide a citation on this? Sounds like worthless conjecture. Please provide a arXiv claim to back up your post or delete it from HN.
- mmh0000 6mo agoThe "people" doing this are exactly the type of people you'd expect... Just the first thing that came up in a youtube search, there are thousands more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYPMbLO4pAY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYPMbLO4pAY
- stavros 6mo agoWait, this isn't something that they configure the truck to do all the time? They can turn it on and off? I thought this was some shitty way of being "special", like a loud exhaust, but being able to turn it on and off to gas people is downright evil.
- mmh0000 6mo agoIt's not a "switch" per-se (though some of the kits have realtime tuning switches to make more/less smoke on demand). It's a purposely poorly-turned engine + accelerator control. TL;DR: poor turning, and floor it (high RPM). This video gives a pretty good overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miTnnJ7xMv8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miTnnJ7xMv8
- stavros 6mo agoAh, even worse, you can gas people and your engine pollutes normally as well. I didn't think people would be this shitty, but here we are.
