Feels like an insult to guys in photos just living their best life with rubber ducks.

[–] PP_BOY_ 48 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Jeep Ducking started in 2020. I feel like I'm being Mandela Effected because I would've sworn that I've seen them my whole life.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Jeep ducking certainly sounds more like some sexual kink explained in the urban dictionary.

[–] ZeffSyde 3 points 6 months ago

Its kind of like a Boise Corn-dog, but it requires jumper cables and four cinder blocks instead of two.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago

TIL that was a thing

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Fuckin hell that whole article is just SEO keywording

[–] RGB3x3 5 points 6 months ago

It reads like it was written by AI too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

You have seen the your whole life, it's just recently that it's become a fadand widespread.

There was a guy who had a whole row of little themed rubber ducks he got at conventions who lived in the same apartment complex as me growing up.

Beep beep it's a jeep (thing)

Miata owners at any opportunity:

[–] RGB3x3 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

When do you ever catch Miata owners being obnoxious? They're always the most chill drivers.

It's the RAM and F-150 drivers that leave their high beams on all the damn time.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just to clarify. The button in the picture is the popup headlights button. We Miata owners spam it

[–] RGB3x3 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Ah, gotcha. They haven't had pop-up headlights in a while, so I forgot that was a thing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

I just call any Miata that's after NA an MX-5.

If I knew it could make me this happy, I'd buy a Jeep so fuckin fast

[–] PP_BOY_ 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The Grand Cherokee WK honestly isn't a bad car, there are just some design choices that really show how Jeep was pushing itself in two different directions at the time.

I have a number of Grand Cherokees (including a WK), and modded /r/grandcherokee for 15 years as an enthusiast.

The WK was the last one that I would call somewhat offroad capable, before they completely Fiatized the line. It's not as easily modded for good offroad capability since it has IFS instead of a front live axle like the predecessor models, but still had a fairly robust 4WD system and you could add lockers, rear disconnects, etc. The engine options were kind of anemic, though. Lots of room in the back if you pulled the seats for camping, etc.

I thought I was seeing the same jeep over and over, but no... Most of them have a whole row of ducks all of a sudden

[–] blanketswithsmallpox 3 points 6 months ago

First thing I thought of lol.

[–] TheRealKuni 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Could also be a software developer who misunderstood the concept of rubber duck debugging.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Erm… shit

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Playing around with their small d*cks?

[–] LeroyJenkins 2 points 6 months ago

I'm a jeep owner and have a huge one. maybe like 6 or 7 inches!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They stole the rubber duck from truckers. That won’t end well.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they bought the rubber ducks at stores or online.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I was talking about the symbol.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot 1 points 6 months ago

They stole that from Ernie.

[–] ikidd 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

All truckers have is piss bottles and nobody wants those.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just checking if you watched the movie convoy which I was referencing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Anyone wondering t's because he was using a portable radio with a rubber duckie antenna instead of the straight metal whip antenna fixed to trucks.

Could be where the jeep gets its association too if they used to have an antenna fixing point marked on user manuals.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

So this is a thing? I've seen it a couple times. I've also found various rubber ducks in parking lots and now I know why.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I like to do the widdle wadder meme but with widdle duckies, in your wittle wangler
