Although filling an entire trunk full of peanut butter, let’s say 500kg worth (assume a 450 litre trunk and density of 1.1 kg/l according to Google), then adding all that weight over the rear axle would affect the handling and balance of the car, potentially making it dangerous and therefore illegal to drive.

So, it’s not actually that clear cut that it wouldn’t be illegal!

That reminds me:

My mom's from way out in the country. The first and only time she was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving was when she had an entire butchered pig from her parents in the back of her station car making it swerve.

And that was less than 1/4 the weight of that peanut butter collection 😄

Who is buying a car that can't safely transport 500kg of peanut butter at any given moment??? Come on people need that trunkbutt on the go

[-] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Sorry for being american but 450 pounds in the trunk in my mirage made it drive considerably different.

[-] Trollception@sh.itjust.works -2 points 1 month ago

Most SUVs cannot handle the weight, let alone a car. A typical SUV will allow for 200-300 lbs in the trunk. At least according to the GVWR and with 2 passengers.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Obviously all serious car buyers shop for sexy, maneuverable dump trucks.

[-] Trollception@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

That's why there are so many baby killers on the road, peanut butter!

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

500kg of PB is NOT an appropriate substitute for a proper baby car seat.

Sadly big pb has tried to make it seem like PB is the solution to all issues. But really, it's just for that one thing

[-] Trollception@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago

Whoever is down voting me should actually go out and check what the GVWR of their vehicle is and the curb weight + fuel and passengers. It's surprisingly low even for a full sized SUV unless you own a body on frame SUV. Sure you can exceed the GVWR but you are potentially endangering others on the road with increased braking distances and poor handling.

[-] taladar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

You should look up those values on SUVs vs. regular older cars. I can almost guarantee that many older cars allowed you to transport more than most modern SUVs.

[-] Eiri@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

I like to imagine that it's not jars of peanut butter. Just raw peanut butter, sloshing around when it's warm.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Shhhhhh. I can only get so erect.

[-] School_Lunch@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

I got a bunch of free Coca-Cola once, and some dude at taco bell overheard me say something about "all the coke I have in my trunk". He then tried to sell me some of his coke.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

Does someone with a trunk full of coke really need the taco bell guy's supply anyway?

[-] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago

You would think that, if you’ve never used coke

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Oh, that's why people go to Taco Bell

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Either that or because it's a delicious treat

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 15 points 1 month ago

Is this peanut butter in little jars, big jars, bags, or just shoveled in like one giant trunk tub of creamy peanut butter?

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Plastic shopping bags, untied

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

Oh so like how you stock up on gas when there's a shortage.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

I fully expect a cop here might arrest you over that.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Civil Asset Forfeiture is one hell of a drug.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

They would totally steal my hundreds of pounds of loose peanut butter.

But I was thinking more along the lines of how the police have no legal requirements to know the law or what doesn’t violate it.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

police have no legal requirements to know the law or what doesn’t violate it

Broadly speaking, that's true. Narrowly speaking, their job isn't to adjudicate your behavior, just to identify and report certain behaviors that might be criminal. Prosecutors are supposed to know the law and determine whether an actual violation has taken place, then press charges or drop them, accordingly.

But because going through the legal process is expensive - both in terms of time and monetary cost - any interaction with the police that results in an alleged offense sets an enormous burden on the accused. And because our legal system is heavily privatized, police bias can result in huge economic tolls put on people who "look suspicious".

This is why its so hard to get good fresh peanutbutter in America, today.

Time to civil asset forfeit DEEZ (pea)NUTS

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

The real crime is creamy peanut butter

[-] gamermanh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

If it was meant to be chunky it wouldn't be called butter

Is the phrase "butter rough" or "butter smooth"?

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 month ago

In Dutch it's called Peanut Cheese

[-] spinne@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 month ago

I can't tell if I love this or hate it

[-] restingboredface@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

I'm physically sick from this term.

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

To me, that implies that it's been fermented/cured somehow, which just raises more questions.

Edit: Whoa.

[-] reev@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

They specifically mention the savory uses and the Dutch I've met do love their satay sauce, a savory peanut butter sauce.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Hey, you can charge good money for a "butter rough".

[-] Comment105@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

Only cavemen eat insufficiently crushed peanut butter.

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

U like chunky normal butter?

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Butter with salt crystals is crunchy butter.

[-] mvilain@fedia.io 6 points 1 month ago

Now if it was crunchy peanut butter, I woulda accused the guy of being a pervert.

[-] don@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Cop: You a spoon, shovel, backhoe, or “all of the above plus some” kinda person?

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Whatever gets it in the hole the easiest. I prefer a douche bag and a thicc tube.

[-] IAmTheZeke@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Second person next to a second car filled with milky chocolate: But hitting me was a crime.

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 month ago

I’m sorry, but this to me is same type of humor as those rage comics
