Scratching a stranger’s car is never okay.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 46 points 5 months ago

But what if it ain't a car but a Cybertruck?

[-] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 39 points 5 months ago

It is if they blatantly block sidewalks like the entitled assholes that they are.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

No! Bad DarkThoughts!

You call a tow truck and have the vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.

Can't say I agree. For example, if someone hits you with their car? It's ok to scratch it.

Edit: The downvotes on this are fucking unreal, imagine being upset that the person you just mowed over scratched your car. Fuck right off with that bullshit.

It is strange and striking that climate change activists have not committed any acts of terrorism. After all, terrorism is for the individual by far the modern world’s most effective form of political action, and climate change is an issue about which people feel just as strongly as about, say, animal rights. This is especially noticeable when you bear in mind the ease of things like blowing up petrol stations, or vandalising SUVs. In cities, SUVs are loathed by everyone except the people who drive them; and in a city the size of London, a few dozen people could in a short space of time make the ownership of these cars effectively impossible, just by running keys down the side of them, at a cost to the owner of several thousand pounds a time. Say fifty people vandalising four cars each every night for a month: six thousand trashed SUVs in a month and the Chelsea tractors would soon be disappearing from our streets. So why don’t these things happen?

[-] Alpha71@lemmy.world 28 points 5 months ago

Because the law drops the hammer on them BIG time.

Hell, activists use to spike old wood trees marked for clear cutting back in the day. This would cause the saw blades foresters would use to explode in their face,, in fact George Alexander, a millworker, was severely injured when a saw blade shattered after contact with a tree spike and cut his jaw in half.

Carrie Underwood has an entire song about how you are wrong.

Yeah but it's not a stranger in the song

If you drive a douchemobil, you shouldn't be surprised when people think you're a douche.

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 67 points 5 months ago

Carter tells the paper he has never been a fan of the limelight, somehow forgetting what sort of attention a massive, angular truck would garner him.

Lmao dude bought the fugliest car ever made and didn't think twice about that decision

People being assholes over it is dumb, but I can't say I would want one. I saw one recently at my local grocery store and I couldn't stop thinking how poorly built it looked. It just seemed like the fit and finish of the body panels was kinda bad. I got an overall feeling like it was something put together by a couple of teenagers in metal shop.

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 36 points 5 months ago

There's one down the street from me. It's a damn eyesore.

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 21 points 5 months ago

Have you tried quitting to the menu and turning up texture detail? Looks like it might be something to do with anti-aliasing. Hopefully will be patched in the next update.

People can be shitty, but I still find it amusing that it's so ugly and stupid it provokes people into a rage.

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 37 points 5 months ago

I think it's because it costs an obscene amount while being something only a moron would buy. So when someone who is struggling to make ends meet sees that an absolute moron has so much cash that they can blow it on something this dumb, they get angry. It's not fair that they work hard just to make ends meet while some failson has $100k to blow on a dumb car. At least a Maserati, Porsche, or Ferrari of similar price looks cool.

"I don't like attention."

-- Guy that gave multiple interviews about all the attention he is getting.

[-] Muscar@discuss.online 43 points 5 months ago

He doesn't like negative attention and is too dumb to realise that was the only thing that would happen by buying such an obvious "I'm dumb and a dickhead" statement piece.

Not only did he get an unpopular truck, but he still uses Reddit. This guy is 0-2. What’s next?

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 48 points 5 months ago

He uses Twitter. Probably watches Televised News

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Anyone that supports muskrat is an automatic pos in my book. He's an evil degenerate.

I mean is it really a truck?

There needs to be a way to validate if something is a truck.

Like, if you can't put a 2x4 in it, is it a truck? Is an el camino a truck?

IF a cybertruck is a truck, is a Pontiac Aztek a truck?

[-] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 58 points 5 months ago

Per the legal US definition, almost every SUV is a "light truck", including my 1999 Subaru Forester...

[-] vividspecter@lemm.ee 21 points 5 months ago

And the reason for this is that the "light truck" classification has weaker emissions standards, so they can cheap out on efficiency of the engine which means higher profit margins (and more harmful pollution for us to enjoy inhaling).

Is there any vehicle in the world that screams rich asshole more than the cyber truck? There are more expensive vehicles for sure, but my first thought if I saw a Pagani wouldn't be to flip it off.

[-] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 35 points 5 months ago

At least with other expensive cars you can admire the craftsmanship, elegant appearance, and significant history behind the brand or specific model of car. For the money, you get none of those things with a cyber truck.

There are more expensive vehicles for sure

I can understand hitting the lottery and spending six figures on a luxury sports car. I cannot image why anyone would have voluntarily submitted themselves to this vehicle. Its the automotive equivalent of lighting six figures on fire.

Isn't getting attention the whole point of buying a expensive car like that for most people? I mean the same goes for expensive sports cars: most people don't get these because they are particularly good drivers - hell, some are even so old they can't even get into those cars properly.

your truck is bad and you should feel bad.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 34 points 5 months ago

I saw one in person finally a few weeks ago and just started laughing; it’s even uglier in person! But I wouldn’t intentionally try to damage someone else’s vehicle; that’s even more ridiculous.

Should've bought a Rivian.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 31 points 5 months ago

Should've bought a bicycle lol, there's no better way to get around town if you ask me.

[-] Trilobite@lemm.ee 26 points 5 months ago

That depends on where you live lots of places are very unfriendly to bike riders

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You don't have to tell me that, I'm an American lol. I still ride anyways but there's a camera rolling every time I ride these days so if someone hits me or attacks me, that's going to become a big problem for them.

I started wearing one after an obese dipshit in a lifted truck started to act like he was going to attack me after cutting me off and calling me homophobic slurs (you know because riding a bike means you love dick I guess). They opened the door and climbed out but then got right back in and took off like a bat out of hell as soon as it was apparent that I wasn't going to run away or cower (probably for the best, I never ride unarmed and can fight reasonably well, plus there's the regular cardio and strength training cycling provides).

As soon as I hopped off my bike, he looked like he was going to shit his pants lol, pretty certain he was expecting me to try and ride away. It's amazing how a camera has almost completely eliminated people doing dumb shit - as soon as they see the camera, they behave. Doesn't help with negligent drivers, but it's still made a huge difference with belligerent drivers.

Anyone reading this that hates cyclists should think hard about this before they decide to try and attack one of us: You don't know who is on that bike or what they are capable of, so fuck with them at your own peril and don't forget that there are cameras everywhere these days, even if you might not notice them.

It’s probably the worst car design to date. Also, prone to rusting

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 months ago

It's prone to a lot of things apparently, more to follow I'm sure.

Teslas in general are super ugly but this is an abomination.

[-] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 months ago

IDK, some of their sedans don't really look that bad IMO but this thing is a huge departure from previous designs.

[-] Kayday@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

I'm in the minority of people who really like the design, I just wouldn't ever consider buying anything from Tesla.

What a psycho

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago

This car is a waste of money. I doubt this is a vehicle that can last 15 to 25 years or whatever the average vehicle expected life span is.

I have never seen one in real life but I'll be honest, this looks pretty cool. I also have seen mbkhd talk about how well this car drives; especially for a truck. I see people rave over cars that to me look like giant toys (I admit I'm not into cars) but this is something straight out of a video game world.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago

In reality it looks goofy and not menacing at all.
