I’m going to be much more deliberate about what qualifies as a Schizophrenia Ride. A car with Nazi imagery is horrendous, but not schizophrenia. 2 dozen Trump or Biden stickers is definitely excessive, but not schizophrenia. I’d like for this sub to stand on its own and not just be a clone of InfowarriorRides. Generally speaking, if the car has no hand-painted messages then it’s not fitting of this sub (though exceptions do exist).
There are relevant crazy car-message subs for pretty much every type of message:
r/InfowarriorRides
r/SchizophreniaRides
r/FlatEarthCars
r/CancerDog
r/NymphowarriorRides
r/TrumpTrains
r/BoomerRides
r/WeabooRides
r/InfowarriorStroke
r/CalvinPeeingOnThings
r/SweetJesusRides
r/AntiVaxMobiles
r/HipsterLiberalRides
r/MobileManifesto
r/WalMartRides
r/BronyRides
r/PsychosWithCars
I’ll be more actively removing submissions that don’t even remotely fit the theme here, sorry for sounding so dramatic.
Thank you! Dont want to see this place turn into /r/infowarriorrides
It already is. I’d like to see it firmly be just schizo rides. Half the posts are just cross posts from infowarrier rides of a car with like, a Donald Trump themed body wrap.
Well for whatever it's worth I went through a removed a lot of posts today (several dozen?) that fit the inaccurate theme you mentioned, and I'm planning on curating it to much more closely fit the actual theme going forward.
It's going to mean a lot less content, but hopefully that will mean the sparse content itself is much better.
Quality over quantity. Good idea.
Almost everything in schizophrenia rides is an inaccurate portrayal of schizophrenia. It perpetuates negative and false stigma by allowing display of a certain stereotype.
Even if it was accurate making light of or making jest of someones illness should not be a form of entertainment. You make me sick.
Could not agree more. Probably best that you don't hang around here then.
To give you an idea, these are the kinds of submissions that fit the sub perfectly, in my opinion:

Edit:
Went through and did some pruning of old posts. I'd like to also point out that having religious stickers on your car alone doesn't qualify as schizophrenia. A "REPENT OR BURN IN HELL" isn't necessarily mental illness, however other messages about hearing voices from God and whatnot would qualify it.
Sorry I'm being so whiny and tedious, I just have a lot of free time now.
It's like poetry
God entered my body like a body
Same size
A hideous haiku — very cool.
To be fair, Sergio Gonzalez Ruiz will automatically be looked at if this guy dies, no doubt about it.
Maybe he knows something we don’t?
I dunno, I scanned back through 5 years of posts on his facebook and they're all completely unintelligible. This campaign for whatever he's after cost him his family and his job, I could understand that much.
God wtfs up with no 3 there he's the one the local crackheads stay away from
as a schizophrenic, i will keep these guidelines in mind when decorating my car
What's the point of the server though, I'm kinda confused-
Edit: Oh, so it's like really over-done cars? Cool
No it’s schizophrenic people that think Stephen king killed John Lennon, flat earther manifesto essays written in spray paint, ramblings of a man methed up written in tiny sharpie, contraptions made of various furniture strapped to a minivan, and everything in between.
That last car is scary. The others are whackadoodle, but that last one reminds me of Kevin Spacey’s character’s room in Seven. Just little bitty script covering every square inch of space. Put there by a person who never sleeps and likes cuddling foreshortened body parts.
Thank you.
Quiet subs tend to get overrun. Both /r/ForgottenWebsites and /r/Lost_Films are half-full of people looking for /r/TipOfMyTongue. The podcast sub /r/GodAwfulMovies, dead as it is, has some b-movie nerd spamming generic crappy trailers. (Coincidentally one of them was an episode for the podcast.) The people insisting "it's new to me" or "stop gatekeeping" are why the History channel now shows reality TV. Maintaining a forum's focus is ultimately a problem only moderation can solve. It doesn't need to be total, absolute, or merciless - just present.
Ya, I'd prefer this sub remain quiet with relevant content than continue with people just shitposting cars with basic political messages.
I'm glad you posted this. I'm somewhat new to this sub, so I don't know how the posts have been lately, but it's nice to see a mod actually speak up about what the sub is meant to be. Also, thank you for linking all the other subs that I've never heard of. I can look forward to wasting more nights on reddit instead of getting things done around the house lol.
I had always intended for this sub to be a distilled version of r/InfowarriorRides, with just the craziest of the crazy making it here, I had just never been active about curating it as such.
Glad to hear it
Yes thank you
Yeah there’s a fine line between whacko politics car and then delusional message car. People suffering delusions like gang stalking, aliens in my head, etc may mention politics albeit incoherently but it’s definitely not in the same level as people who are just overly emphatic about their chosen cult of personality
Walmart rides only has one post 3y ago 😞
I support this message, sad to see it all go political on reddit but tis the of of four years to kill your best friend because he votes like a heathen bastard. /s (kinda)
Welcome to 4 years later, your comment applies still.
Cheers, wish I was wrong about everything and it would just all go back to 2005 vibes... we all were different, we all came from different households, had different views... so we just talked shit, joked around and at the end of the day, we were all trying to help each other out while we all dealt with similar but different problems.
What if a severely dislexic schizophrenic covers their car with letter stickers instead of paint due to their inability to write?
Sticker-lettering definitely falls more under the "handwritten" category, for these purposes. Each letter being chosen and placed individually, and that ransom note aesthetic rarely spells out a coherent message.
What about houses? Yes, I have someone close to me that spray painted their house several times
New member here. I once saw a "coexist" sticker paired with an "Enron" logo.
I'm wondering why a lot of these schizorides have such a similar look going on. Is it just that all dollar tree and Walmarts have the same lettering for purchase, or that impact font is just what people go for? It honestly makes me feel that you can use schizo-aesthetic as a deterrent... People may roll their eyes and laugh at it, but then want to just leave it alone and get away from it.
Hey all! Is there a sub dedicated just for family stickers? You know those stickers that represent family members. I think those are so creative haha people have some crazy ones out there! TIA
Not that I'm aware of.
lmao when i see there are this many fucked car subs I instead think they should be consolidated under some shit like /r/fuckedcars
Why schizophrenia?
Calinpeeingonthongs is banned
rather than just this post can you just add something in the description of the subreddit? i didn’t notice any rules so i thought my post would be ok. i didn’t mean to throw off the aesthetic of the sub
Lol Walmart rides has a single post and 15 subscribers why would you link it
Because it only has a single post and 15 subscribers.
Could you space out the other subreddits in the OP? It's one giant linked mess right now on mobile
Damn that last one is kinda impressive
Hmm
So, only poor people - people who can’t afford stickers and fancy paint jobs - qualify as schizophrenic? /S
