Reply to comment by DaCheatHSR in N.J.’s road safety messages were too sassy for the feds by heptapod
I could see them being alright in rural stretches of nothing where the biggest threat is boredom. Australia has fatigue zones on some long stretches of nothing that show trivia to keep people engaged.
But NJ doesn't really have that problem. NJ drivers are far more likely to experience attention fatigue from overstimulation than understimulation.
And regardless, they shouldn't be using the same displays for critical information and PSA jokes.

Reply to My wife isn’t a jewelry person but loves to cook. I wanted a forever gift for our engagement so I got her these. I get them sharpened for our anniversaries. Today makes ten years. by DrWindupBird
In my family, knives are never to be given as wedding/engagement gifts. Just a superstition. I think its because of the possibility of gifting a forever gift that can facilitate a forever dirt nap.
