      thought you were serious for a second, for those who aren’t getting the joke, driving your car is thousands of times more dangerous than taking a plane flight

        Idk man I see this statistic all the time but you might survive a car crash but if you fall from a metal tube in the sky you are most likely dead as fuck. I think crashes happen lessoften but when you do crash in a plane theres usually zero survivors

            I came back to find this comment. How do you feel about flying now? Make sure it’s not a Boeing amirite?

              I am an airframe and powerplant certified mechanic, I worked on 737NGs for years as well as a320/1/neo, etc.

              I know more about aviation than you, I know more about plane crashes than you.

          Some people on lemmy are smart, likely a higher ratio than many other sites, but there’s still a ridiculous surplus of fools

            And all those smart people still have incredibly stupid opinions outside their areas of expertise. Everyone is a moron in the wrong context.

              I’d posit a well rounded education doesn’t necessarily agree with that. You don’t need a professional education in a topic to be able to provide a decent opinion, it’s just that many people opt not to work on their own educations and prefer to be spoon fed materials, and it’s this behaviour that produces morons in almost every context, rather than individuals that have problematic views in a few topics.
