I have a frog sticker and that’s it
Yeah no robber is doing this.
Stalker yes. But most people don’t get stalked.
And this is coming from someone who thinks any bumper stickers that contain any words is trashy.
It’s not wrong. Not quite as much info as following the average person on socials, but it can be a lot of info at a glance.
Once had a cop show up one day, just asking about something going on in the area, and noticed an empty TV box by my trash can outside. Suggested I uh, don’t do that. Basically a big sign pointing to my house “brand new TV inside!”. Not done that since.
Yeah, you gotta put that stuff in the annoying neighbor’s yard

My solution for the tv box is unfolding the box inside out and tying it into a bundle if it doesn’t fit in a recycling box. Also maybe don’t put out your boxes right after Black Friday or holidays.
I cut up the cardboard and use it for various things around the house, like putting it under the car when I do an oil change, or as liners for the wire rack shelving in my cold storage.
“How’s Max doing?”
“Max is fine”
hangs up
“Your Foster Parents… are Dead”
Plot Twist: The Dog’s name is actually Wolfie, the car sticker is a trick to fool mass surveillance.
Take that, Skynet!
(Sorry if this is offtopic, but I had to post it)
My NIN sticker says I still live in 1994
They forgot to add political stickers which make you a target for the extremists who don’t agree with you.
A friend advised me to put lots of Hello Kitty stickers on my bike so that nobody would want to steal it. I wonder if the same logic applies here.
From what I can tell, Hello Kitty is pretty hot right now
Especially among 4 year old girls, but the kitty merch is a different story.
Also 20 year old college students trust me on this
I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.
The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.
They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.
I wonder what my classic white oval sticker that says “meh” tells people about me, being the only sticker on my car
#1 fan of the Emoji Movie
Favorite movie I’ve never seen
The baby on board sticker is mainly to alert EMS services to look in case of a car crash and possible ejection of the child.
Baphomet pentagram is the only car decal a guy needs
gonna put all of those in my car to confuse people targeting me 😎
I put an NRA sticker on mine, not because I support them or own a gun, but because this helps me get rid of tailgating cars behind me
Doesn’t really work though.
Source: me, tailgating the boomer in his 2004 Silverado extended cab with a gigantic bed cap because we’re going 37 in a 50 and I don’t have all day
Damn. If only there was a way that cars could pass each other.
The inability to legally pass is implied
I dunno, I like going slow- that is to say near the limit- and will have people ride me the entire time in a passing zone or blaze past me in a double yellow.
Edit: It’s the best because I get to watch these same cars pull into the parking lot 500 yards down the road. Really saved them the extra fraction of a second.
Same thing could work with a support the police sticker.
Which, I hear, is very common
But then you might get keyed
I have a single Pikachu sticker that says “ピカチュズキ” (Pikachuzuki) on my Suzuki. It throws people off because I’m not Japanese.
i mean, here you can just type the plate number into an open government website and it shows your home address. not really seeing a lot of consequences of that.
Yeah, this is more on the ‘paranoid’ end of the spectrum without being very effective. If you’re being surveiled or targeted, there’s plenty to dig up already.
No need to shrink away from expressing yourself. and this breeds a mistrust against your neighbors or community.
It kind of vibes more with the MAGAsphere’s whole the world is full of scary criminals and terrorists around every corner ready to hurt you mindset, so you’d better gun up, stay tuned into Newsmax, and not leave your house. When I think of privacy, I’m thinking of things at a societal level, corporations, governments, etc. Not oh god the guy down the street is out to get me.
Sweden?
