sorry for bad alt text, I lack the terminology to describe this accurately

I wouldn’t worry too much about the alt text anyways. Alt text is mostly meant for blind people, and last I checked, blind people don’t drive or work on vehicles.
I looked it up because I was curious and there are atleast two blind mechanics. Can’t speak as to how effective alt text would be in teaching most blind people though, I imagine it’d be way easier to learn hands-on

Chat, is this ableist?
The DMV I used to go to had a vending machine that said profits went towards supporting an all blind baseball team. I’m still not sure if it was legitimate: I get that “blind” could mean with 20/400 vision, which isn’t that difficult to correct well enough to play baseball, but that seems like one of the worst sports to play with limited visual input.
Every time I saw it, I had this thought process, then scolded myself for limiting people, then thought about how dangerous a fastball can be, then scolded myself again. I haven’t thought about that in a decade at least.
They usually play a variant with a ball that makes noise
Hey, just stating the obvious, the diagram wouldn’t be very useful for a blind person anyways.
Besides, how would you write out alt text that clearly explains the diagram for blind people?
If you can think up a good explanation that makes sense, feel free to offer OP some suggestions…
