Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That's the usual line I see. Buddy, I could buy one in cash tomorrow if I wanted. I'd rather put that money in a barrel and burn it to cook my dinner than spend it on the PS1 titty shape truck.

I don't scowl at the guy in the white Lambo I see sometimes. I don't frown when a Porsche flies past me on the interstate. Shit, even a brand new Corvette will get a "nice!" from me. If it were jealousy I'd hate all kinds of people.

Cybertrucks are just horribly ugly. So ugly it assaults your senses, I can't help but think "oh that car hasn't finished rendering" every time.

Right? There's a Countach that parks next door to my favorite bar pretty often on the weekends and I have not once pointed and laughed at it. That's a vehicle I'll never be able to buy but I'm not jealous. I'm jazzed to see it.

I'm not a car guy but even I think it's cool as hell.

The difference between a Cybertruck and a Countach is the difference between a self-indulgent wiener and a connoisseur.

I've said it other places, but you don't get a sense of just how bad they are until you see one in person. I don't know if it's that they're a bit bigger than I thought, or that I'm used to seeing fake images of all sorts of things, but even though I'd seen pictures I was surprised at how bad they are in person. They're cartoonishly awful.
