Nickelback isn’t anywhere near as bad as people say it is. Sure, I won’t buy their CDs or go to their concerts, but I don’t mind them on the radio. What are your bad takes?

The Vantage doesn’t look great, neither the new generation, nor the last. The DB11 is the best looking Aston since the DB6.

Being a huge fan of the FIAT 126p, I will argue that they weren’t bad cars...for cheap, easy to maintain, easy to park, etc city cars, they were fine.

...but they are small, Polish-built, Italian-designed cars built until 2000 based on a platform from 1957. Refinement, safety, performance, handling, build quality or reliability probably aren’t their strong points.

.........but I want one anyway. :D

Microwaves that require you to press a TIME COOK button before inputting a time are the work of the devil. If I want to microwave something for a minute and thirty seconds, I should be able to just type in ONE THREE ZERO START. but Noooooo. Instead as soon as I press ONE the microwave automatically starts with a one minute timer. If I want a custom microwave time, I have to first press TIME COOK and then enter the desired time to cook, AND THEN press START. why?!?

Kinja'd!!!

Was this a bad take, or just an oddly specific warm take?

Oddly specific and incredibly passionate take that I 100% agree with.

Nickelback is bad and you should feel bad.

But you can just hit 1 and then the start button adds 30sec. Idk why they didn’t just do it for all the numbers.

Pineapple banana orange juice and sharp cheddar go amazing together.

No this is a correct take. Meaning it’s not a bad take. Meaning you did bad at sharing a bad take. Adding extra steps to simple things is a crime against humanity.

I mean, Staind has a few okay songs, and I couldn’t name a Creed song if I tried.

I assumed it was a thing everyone did. But my research shows it’s just me and my mom.

My phone does this with both headphone AND Bluetooth. It is annoying. Of course I want it louder. THAT’S WHY I CLICKED THE BUTTON

Sharp cheddar and granny Smith apples. Half the people I mention this to agree vehemently, the other half look at me like I kill babies I’m my free time.

Oh, yeah, I know those ones.

I was between the ages of five and seven, so you’re not wrong.

I’ll give it a try at some point, just to see if you’re crazy.

Pineapple on pizza is pretty much the best thing ever. BBQ chicken pizza is also pretty fucking good.

Staind’s first album was solid (I mean, fucking Mudshovel dude). The second one was decent. Then they sorta dropped off a cliff IMO

Tighty-whity underwear. The support and feel of a nice cotton pair of Fruit of The Loom is just fine with me. I don’t like my flappy sack flap-flap-flappin’ around in boxers.

I think boxer-briefs are the safe middle ground, especially for working out.

There’s nothing wrong with a decent automatic transmission. They let you keep both hands on the wheel and focus on cornering instead of going faster/slower. There’s a reason all the high-end supercars have gone to paddle shifters.

I have mixed opinions on supercars that sit in garages and are never driven. I appreciate that there’s a few pristine specimens that are kept clean for posterity’s sake, but the other half of me loves to see them driven hard, and getting covered in dirt.

Someone else mentioned Aston Martin. I think so many of their cars look alike, it’s hard to tell them apart. It’s time that they move on and try something that looks a little different.

I’d gladly love to own a Tesla Model X, even if all the body panels are misaligned. I want something to haul my family and I around, that has decent room, and excellent fuel economy. The automatic doors are also nice to prevent door-dings on neighboring cars, although I think they are too complex for what they are. (Sliding doors would have done just fine, and been a better long-term option). After working in the oil and gas industry, I can see that it isn’t the way of the future, and I’d rather switch to something electric sooner than later. Besides, all that low-end torque! A Model X would do basically everything I’d ever need a family hauler to do, with the exception of maybe a roof rack. A Model S would also work.

Wow. Now that I’ve got all that off my chest...

I only do apples and cheese in this creation called an Apple Grande available in November and December from Midwest chain Taco Johns.

Otherwise it’s a hard pass.

This is a good bad take.

(Bbq chicken pizza is okay, but I’ll never choose it over meatlovers or pepperoni-bacon).

CB > BaconSandwich is tasty.
12/05/2017 at 20:58

1) Agreed, but I like a good auto because I’m lazy in traffic and have other things on my mind when driving in snow.

2) I’ve said it before, a car can only truly be appreciated when it’s doing what it was engineered to do.

3) I disagree.

Solid takes!

Ehh, not really a bad take. Most of the hate of them is just a meme.

The only reason some Americans hop on the Nickelback hate wagon is the same reason they hate Justin Bieber and Celine Dion.

They’re popular and apparently that incites jealousy of the fact that something non-American is dominating in the English-speaking world.

These are the same people who loathe non-American spelling and pronunciation.

There, my bad take response to your bad take.

Another one of my bad takes is that red turn signals are the devil, especially one that shares the same brake light AND tail light bulb. Way to be a gigantic single point failure. I can’t believe this is still legal in the US.

Lol, just kidding. My take would be that self driving cars will be good for us jalops, let the normies sit in their autonomous coffin and let us drive like champs

CB > Chan - Mid-engine with cabin fever

Damn, that is one hell of a take. I could entirely see this being the case.

I have a take that’s so bad I’m afraid to say it. It has nothing to do with cars, music, or politics, but every time I’ve mentioned it to a friend, they’re just like “...dude.”

Dusty Ventures > Chan - Mid-engine with cabin fever

I hate Justin Bieber because he’s a douche, and he grabs every possible opportunity to confirm said doucheness
