Oh, I know, and thank goodness, too. Otherwise, I would not have been able to power, my iPod, and eventually, my iPhone, through the 00s
But I did notice that even the 12 V receptacles were phased out for a couple of years until they were brought back by popular demand because people are needing to power devices like phone chargers, and what not.
I wish it was banned everywhere. If you wanna kill yourself with cigarettes then do it the normal slow way with cancer, but dont endanger other people by being distracted while driving.
Pubs there tends to be more people blocking the door than in the pub as when a smoker goes out for a fag the non smokers tend to follow to continue the conversation.
You must never have smoked. There's nothing distracting about smoking... But the unfulfilled addiction, if banned, could lead to some nice road rage videos.

My children were deprived of the right to burn themselves from a mixture of childhood curiosity and piromania

Isn't it pyromania?

You sound like one of those smarty pants that never accidentally set fire to their parent’s kitchen trashcan.

You're spot on there!

Im too poor to have this issue. Didn't even know new cars don't have them anymore lol
blave@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 271d
They were almost completely phased out almost 25 years ago.
What are you driving?
Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 20 pts · 271d
The 12v receptacles are still around, and you can buy the lighters, it is an option still really

Well I know that at least a 2003 volvo s60 and a 2014 bmw f30 have had them :3.. or the ones I've been in did anyway lol
blave@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 271d
Sorry, I should’ve been more clear… I was just referring to the actual lighter, not the 12 V “accessory port”. Those are still pretty common.
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 270d
My 2008 still has one. As far as I can tell it's never been used, and the ash tray is pristine and unused, but it's got one.
Kurroth@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 271d
Hey my 2000 lancer had... Fuck

Smoking while driving is illegal in many (not enough) countries so it makes a lot of sense that they would be removed.
GreenKnight23@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 271d
how the fuck am I supposed to stay awake while I drive?
guess I'll just sniff my own farts.
TabbsTheBat@pawb.social · 3 pts · 271d
Very common in my country :3

That’s as unamerican as trying to ban masturbation while driving.
Little8Lost@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 270d
Here a prime example for unamerican (german) driving restrictions: https://www.thedailyjagran.com/world/germany-couple-car-sex-drive-sparks-traffic-chaos-nearly-ends-in-tragedy-on-autobahn-highway-10278589
(a couple had sex while the guy was triving ~140km/h. The guy may get up to 5 years in prison, carges for the woman unclear)

Imo they should just ban smoking in public in general, I hate choking on someone's cancer fumes while going down to the store or whatever
unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de · 5 pts · 271d
Yeah basically disallow smoking in all places where people gather. Bars, outdoor restaurants, sports events, etc.
Z3k3@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 271d
We have this and it works for the most part.
Pubs there tends to be more people blocking the door than in the pub as when a smoker goes out for a fag the non smokers tend to follow to continue the conversation.

My 21 year old car doesn't have them
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 271d
Fuck, this was my first burn in my entire life when I was 4.
toynbee@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 271d
Mine was cleaning up sparklers and not realizing it mattered which end you picked up.
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 271d
In retrospect we're all like "how could you make such a mistake", but I guess ya gotta start somewhere.
Apparently that "somewhere" happens to smell like crispy flesh. Who knew?
toynbee@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 271d
Oh, but since then I've made so many much more severe mistakes!
FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 271d
I burnt a hole in my grandmas passenger seat and got grounded for a week while I cleaned the whole interior
RubberElectrons@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 271d
Damn, that sucks too. Not sure which outcome I'd pick in retrospect.
Knowing my luck I'd have gotten a taste of both options 😂
BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 271d
I removed mine and added a usb /usb-c plug. Its not like I was using it for anything else.
AndyMFK@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 271d

y'all got burned with those? first time I played with it I noticed it was bright hot and obviously didn't touch it!!!
how many of you didn't notice its bright hot!!!
Cordyceps@sopuli.xyz · 5 pts · 271d
I mean I knew it was hot, but surely it would be fine to touch just a little? ..no, it was not. First and last time I've heard my flesh shizzle
Johanno@feddit.org · 5 pts · 271d
I knew stuff was hot and touched it anyway. I was dumb and I don't knew why I did it
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 271d
Some kids were just too dumb to notice it or thought it was probably some kind of light.
