seems more like flares (which distract) than caltrops (which physically impair) to me. 162.158.222.122 16:31, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

I'd say "Well, I now know what I'm doing for the next few hours!", except that I suspect that this isn't even going to be the half of it... 141.101.98.46 16:37, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

except 'caltrops' is a funnier word than 'flares' and we get the gist anyway. 108.162.237.4 17:23, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

no WAY randall is a jon bois fan 173.245.52.175 17:38, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Flares draw fire to prevent missiles from reaching their target. Caltrops impede the actual motion of the vehicle. If the links are as distracting as Randall implies, I think his choice makes sense! 108.162.215.92 00:34, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Flares do " draw fire" but because they are more visible to heat seakeking missiles than engine jet engine heat. This seems like a solvable problem, missile and flare wise.162.158.75.202 03:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Shouldn't the links be given as QR codes rather than plain text, which would have to be read and re-typed into a device with a suitable web browser? 108.162.219.28 00:54, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

Having to type the URL would be more distracting to driver of the car behind? And it's not like it is exactly easy to aim your phone camera to and read the QR code on a flying banner from the car in front of you, in addition to using smartphone mean traffic law violation. And text in URL also spoiler the link content a bit to invite interest. 172.70.49.196 02:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
