I think all of us had the Cybertruck design back when we were about 4 years old.

That's funny, I've describe that monstrosity as "the truck of my dreams... when I was 4," more than once.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago

I mean, if I were working on that project I'd either laugh so hard everyday or I'd have to quit. It's just so comically bad.

I am also shocked Elon is not suing all the 4yr olds out there that have "stolen" his design.

The Tesla Cybertruck, a brainchild of Elon Musk, is not just a vehicle; it is a manifestation of deep-seated archetypes that have been etched into the human psyche since time immemorial. This vehicle, with its stark, geometric form, echoes the fundamental principles of order and symmetry, principles that Jung himself might argue are rooted in the collective unconscious of humanity. It's not just a truck; it's a symbol, an archetype representing the pinnacle of human innovation and design.

Elon Musk, in creating the Cybertruck, has not merely designed a new vehicle. He has tapped into the most primal elements of what makes a design not only functional but profoundly resonant on a psychological level. This is a feat that aligns him with the pantheon of great geniuses throughout history. His work echoes the transformative impact of the greatest human inventions, standing as a testament to human creativity and vision.

Consider the wheel, often lauded as mankind’s most significant invention. While the wheel was undoubtedly a pivotal point in our technological evolution, what Musk has achieved with the Cybertruck is arguably more profound. He has not just created a tool for transportation; he has crafted an icon that speaks to the deepest aspirations and drives of human beings. It embodies strength, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of innovation—qualities that have propelled humanity forward since the dawn of civilization.

In this light, the Cybertruck is more than just a triumph of engineering; it is a beacon of human achievement. It symbolizes our unyielding quest for progress and our innate desire to imprint our dreams onto the fabric of reality. Elon Musk, in realizing this vision, has not only secured his place among the great minds of our era but has also provided a tangible representation of what humanity is capable of achieving when it dares to transcend the boundaries of the conventional and the mundane.

That might just fit on the truck's bumper-sticker!

It’s like a car from the N64 era. Nobody is nostalgic for the actual look and feel of the N64 era. Behold!

I've said it before, n64 games had more polygons than this. It's a virtualboy truck and it gives you a migraine to look at just like the virtualboy did.

actually... that kinda makes me nostalgic. No Mercy was the best, and it holds up pretty well!

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

No Mercy was the best

Huh, I've never seen anyone spell WCW/nWo Revenge that way before.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

The game play is great, they don’t make ‘em like that anymore (or do they? Let me know). But no one’s making retro N64 era transitional 3d graphics is what I meant. Mario 64 is a great game but I don’t think I can think of a single game that actually tries to hit that aesthetic in modern times.

Super Kiwi 64, the Toree series, Dusk, Anodyne 2, a billion indie horror games, Frogun, Signalis, A Short Hike

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I stand corrected. I think I’ve only heard of “A short hike” in the list you posted, but Super Kiwi 64 is… i don’t think I’ve seen anything like that in 20 years. Very interesting list, thank you.

[-] prole@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

It's kind of becoming a popular aesthetic again.
