Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It's not because of anything special about spark plugs, it's because car windows are made of safety glass that's weak to pinpoint damage. The hammers they make for busting out of cars in an emergency are just a little steel spike because all the magic is already in the window itself.
Spark plug ceramic is just a handy combination of light + throwable + likely to land on a sharp point + often found in the proximity of cars.
I thought it was a polarization thing, guess not.
