a late night thought on the cybertruck

[solarbird]

I know that some people are going to see a Cybertruck and be mad that someone actually bought one of these monstrous things from the babyman fascist who runs Tesla.

Be mad if you want, but don’t act mad. Not at them, not visibly.

If you really need to react then… laugh. Laugh unexpectedly, like you can’t believe what you’re seeing.

Laugh at the fugly truck, in that “oh my gods, you actually bought one of those stupid things?” way. In that “trying not to be seen laughing at you but I can’t stop oh my gods it’s so stupid looking I can’t believe it’s real” kind of way.

If you’re with a friend, and they’re in on it, suppress a laugh, poke your friend and get them to look and have them try not to laugh in that “oh my gods I’m so embarrassed for you” way.

Because let’s face it: it is hilarious, in so many ways. It’s worse than a Nissan Cube and far worse than a Ford Edsel, and so many other vehicles. It’s a 20% rendered bunker vehicle and if you think stainless steel is a good idea for a car body, ask any DeLorian collector how that plays out.

Particularly once you get a dent in it. Which you will.

And besides, a lot of Muskovites, they’re fine with angry strangers. They know how to sneer and feel superior in the face of that.

But being laughed at, though?

Not as much. xD

Hey, the cube is weird but not terrible. Don't lump it in with that prop from a 1970's scifi tv series they call a 'cybertruck'

[solarbird]

The cube is terrible. The saving grace would be if the wraparound window was actually a window that wrapped around BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NORMIE BULLSHIT INSIDE

I would totally have accepted a post in that corner, sure, roof needs support BUT NO IT'S A COMPLETELY WRAPPED CORNER and THE WINDOW IS LIES

i'm still mad about it

Oh, I mock 'em all because the damn thing is absolutely useless as a truck. It was hilarious to see the Cybertruck struggle with ORV obstacles that my 2007 Toyota Tundra glides over.

You can't use it to haul anything of significance and I sure as hell wouldn't pull a horse trailer with it. So I quite happily laugh at the damn things.

excellent

the memes are going on mastodon, my favourite so far being "incel inside" in the form of the old intel inside logo xD

This wouldn't work for that, but it's still funny.

Did someone say Tesla pickup truck?

[solarbird]

Oh yeah, Truckla is a thing of beauty. That's one of the things that's so sad about it.

[ckd]

It makes the fucking Pontiac Aztek look like a classic Jaguar E-type by comparison.

[solarbird]

[looks it up] wow yeah okay that's also fugly

but less brutally fugly, i will admit

[peristaltor]

Don't forget the universal gesture of disapproval: one hand up in a Kids In The Hall "I'm crushing your face!" finger motion, but not moving; implied message being "It's really this small!"
