u/fuckswithducks? Can it be?
Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time .....
What's the deal with rubber ducks and jeeps anyway?
Jeep people are a bit weird. My friend borrowed one once and gave me a lift. It had about 20 glued to the dash. She said he just gets them handed to him by other Jeep people. I asked "why?" Of course. The answer was "dunno but he has two kids with two women in another country that he never sees". I know that's not a satisfying answer but then again we're talking about people that purposely buy a vehicle that is horribly inefficient and that will flip taking a 30 degree turn. With $3000 worth of accessories. So, yeah. Jeep people are weird.
Depends what era of Jeep we are talking about, roughly after 01 they get very weird in a why are you doing this sorta way. 01 and older you basically have folks who just like them for mechanical and ease of repair reasons.
Pretty sure your kids are supposed to duck when this loser rolls over them.
Jeep drivers drive a car made to handle mountainous terrain, but are scared of a small lip due to repaving.
Jeep drivers are insane humans.
I could make cutting boards way fancier than I do. If I did, no one would buy or use them. "Oh it's too nice, I can't stand to cut it with a knife." So I deliberately make cutting boards that are kinda mid.
I think it's the same with a Jeep. A brand new thing with stitched leather and an infotainment system that still connects to whatever service it requires to even slightly work feels new and nice and precious even if it was "built" by Chrysler. A '98 Cherokee that rattles anyway? Sure we can beat on it some more.
fun story.
a friend of mine decades ago took me with them to an ATV trail with their jeep.
we took ramps made for raptors at 40 miles an hour in a jeep.
totally fucked the jeep up and needed work done afterwards, but honestly was the most fun I've ever had.
It's a lifestyle thing and it mostly harmless. Best not to question it.
Transparency: I have owned and still do own a Jeep. I like my 2015 Patriot.

tl;dr A woman thought it was a nice thing to do, and it caught on.
It's a Jeep thing
The whole concept of dweebs buying an over priced SUV designed for off road use, then not using it off road and making it part of their persona. Then taking it a step further and buying plastic trash to leave said trash on other dweeb mobiles to high five other people whom identify with a stupid truck. Its bananas how easily manipulated people are. Every time you leave a duck on a Jeep a Chrysler executive gets another bonus...
So what's up with ducks and jeeps?
Its supposed to be a way for Jeep owners to 'atta boy' other Jeep owners for having a nice Jeep. Youre supposed to buy a bunch and keep them with you, if you see another Jeep you like youre supposed to leave a duck on their hood to let them know they did a good job buying a Jeep. Then the owner of said Jeep comes back and finds the duck from a stranger, feels good about themselves and puts the duck on their dashbaord as a trophy. The more ducks on your dash, the more alpha you are in the Jeep community.
I came to the comments seeking the same answer
I do not believe he belongs in the crosswalk either. Very sus
Yeah he shouldn’t be there. But car drivers shouldn’t be on their phone either, motorcyclists do this to prevent getting rear ended by an inattentive driver.
I totally get it there bud, I'm a hardcore roadie cyclist that faces and does much the same. Just stay out of my bike lane... and beware of parallel parked cars that make u-turns. That's what bit me twice and broke my neck and back. Have fun and be safe
Yeah. This guy definitely looks like he thinks about safety first. Looks like just another entitled asshole to me.
That is what I call Big Duck energy!
.......for once not auto correct.
That's a cool looking bike but the guy on it couldn't possibly look more frumpy and uncomfortable.
Probably going to wish he hadn't bothered with the helmet if he comes off and loses all his skin.
Looks like a Husqvarna Vitpilen
It’s like Mad Max, but ducks instead of spikes
So you buy a huge car that has bad visibility from the get-go and then you strap giant ducks on top of the hood to make your vision even worse? America will never cease to amaze me.
I'm glad that the big duck on top is clearly labeled, so I don't miss out on the theme.
In event if an accident nearby folk get ducked.
There, I used the word ducked, I hope my keyboard (Heliboard) won't remember it.
That neck tat is trashy. Sorry, not sorry.
Trashiest thing is the thin blue line plate.
Truck next to them has a blue line flag for a license plate....
Not all states require front-facing license plates. So in those states people will often use decorative plates like the thin blue line plate you mentioned.
Their favorite animal is the goose.
So does he pump these up every day?
Those unibrows...
