Somebody was up for two days straight and forgot to lower his truck bed. I'm glad nobody was hurt but I hope whatever new job that guy got, it wasn't driving a truck.
So I'm actually a truck driver as well and I live right there, I got stuck in this and my initial thought was the same as yours. Turns out he actually went through a weigh station about a mile before this sign and his dump trailer was down. It's pretty baffling that this could happen at all while he was driving. It should have put his truck immediately into derate and dropped him to 5 mph when he activated the dump bed from in the cab. He was charged with reckless driving and he'll probably lose his CDL (as he should) but there will probably be a serious investigation into how this could have happened at all.

Same with fruit loops, it's a well known mandela effect

The term "toons" comes from Who Framed Roger Rabbit (via the novel it was very loosely based on).

I was wondering how that could happen
