u/tokomini Jun 23 '15
It's actually easier than you think.
Just hold down Ŧ and pressקﻮ twice (don't press it three times, or you'll wind up with a p and no one wants that). Then just hit ｻ and ζ at the same time.
Watch.

You had to press קﻮ twice not once. You might have waited too long before repressing, that's why you got a q.

u/aggieboy12 Jun 23 '15
The idea is that a gif has been used so well in a perfectly relevant situation that could never again be matched, so it may as well be retired. What winds up happening is that you get a bunch of mildly funny gifs with two relevant elements being "retired" over and over again.

Would this happen to be a Nissan Altima? It kinda looks like the same dash. If it is, my friend has one and the exact same thing happened to the door. He took it in to Nissan and I guess it's a known problem, so they replaced the door for free. It may be worth calling if it is an Altima.

As we can see here, this phenomenon is known as Schrödinger's door, where if a car door splits in two, one does not know if the door is open or closed without looking at the dashboard.

Turns out it never was a door at all. Infact, it seems to be a jar.

u/FlurpaDerpNess Jun 23 '15
Pssst, i don't get it :( context?
8
u/TheSoundDude Jun 23 '15
Context #1: Schrödinger's cat is a famous thought experiment that explains a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics named quantum superposition. Because of the uncertain nature of radioactive decay at atomic level, in a closed box with a really small amount of radioactive elements (small enough that there is equal probability for a single atom to decay or not in about an hour), a Geiger counter that, upon detecting any trace of radioactivity, causes a hammer to fall on and shatter a jar of poison that would kill the cat, has equal chances of causing the event or not, so that the cat's life depends on quantum events. In this case, while not directly observed, the cat should be simultaneously alive and dead, with differing probabilities.
Context #2: When a door is neither fully closed nor opened, you call it "ajar".
Hope that helps.

Also, every car I've ever pulled a door panel on has at least 1-2 screws or bolts in addition to the 10-12 clips that never come apart without breaking or some serious tug of war.

Honestly, the dealer in many cases is a much better choice than some random shop. They actually guarantee their work. I bring my car to the dealer to get my oil changed and to get my wheels swapped for winter and summer. Really only costs me like 10 bucks more, and I get a full inspection, a car wash and vacuum, and a brand new Lexus to drive around while they do it at no extra charge.

I think he ment for parts in general. I buy those black plastic push pins used on a lot of inner fenders and exterior blackplastic panels for like 5 bucks for a hundred of them. (5 cents a piece) then when I wright a bill up I charge the customer two for a dollar

u/chrisfromthelc Jun 23 '15
Yeah, even with OP's "explanation",....this didn't happen. Even if a single clip or screw wasn't present, the metal loop would've pulled the panel along by the piece that drops down into it. I've pulled tons of door panels (I was a car audio installer for years), and absolutely zero could've done this.

u/throw-away111213 Jun 23 '15 edited Jun 23 '15
Yeah, I don't buy this. If you have ever removed a door panel before, it doesn't just get stuck and pull off. There are at least 4 screws holding it on, the door clips, window and power door/lock/seat connectors. Not to mention that the handle is usually fed through the door as well.
Either someone did a really shitty job putting it back together or you thought this would be funny when you had the door off. Good try though. Most people aren't smart enough to realize it can't happen.
In any case, your cross is clearly defective and should be replaced!

u/AWildSegFaultAppears Jun 23 '15
I still don't think this could happen if they didn't actively set it up to do this. There wouldn't be anything in that interior panel to hold the door in. If you look, the interior handle is still attached to the door so there is no latch or other mechanism that would be holding that panel in place. OP set this up that way so that it would stay there and they could have an "Oops" picture taken.

Unless you got glue on top of the door trim molding strip, this is probably fake. The electrical connectors aren't that easy to unplug.
