critical support for melon-musk doing what would get me put in prison: making a box that locks, turns rich people into paste, then sets on fire.

And they pay money for it! he-admit-it

lenin-sure The capitalist will ~~sell us the rope~~ finance the Cybertruck that kills them

I know that stuff and it's probably harder than actual marble.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is that because normal marble would like fracture and split into pieces?

[–] [email protected] 54 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Real marble is soft. That's why they make sculptures out of it. It's easy to carve. You can cut it with a butter knife if you really want to.

It's made out of smooshed up old seashells.

How does everyone know this but me? If it wasn't the education system of a lower socioeconomic neighborhood in the imperial core then it must be due to slacking off a ton 🥲

I knew about marble being soft and useless from dwarf fortress

You end up with a lot of rock and ore facts from playing that game lmao

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Dwarf Fortress is basically Geology 101: The Game.

I think marble is actually pretty soft for stone. It’s a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale.

You have corrected a long standing misunderstanding, thank you comrade o7

The crumple zone is your skull

[–] [email protected] 52 points 11 months ago

lol, The Cybertruck truly is the vehicle of the future! The auto-driver can slam you into stationary objects, the solid slab dashboard can cause fatal head trauma, the battery can cremate the remains, and it can even be used as a tasteful mausoleum for your receptacle after the fact. That's just smart design!

[–] [email protected] 44 points 11 months ago (2 children)

melon-musk the Cybertruck simply will not crash or come to a stop. it is entirely invincible.

I don’t see any vents. Imagine buying a luxury vehicle with no driver AC in of the climate crisis.

I now 100% support Elon Musk's biggest fans driving Cybertrucks at high speeds.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago

He showed up to Twitter his first day with a sink. Dude gets a lot of inspiration by getting blazed and standing in the center of his kitchen for two hours. I can relate

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Cool, now I can do meal prep on the go. Chop them veggies on the way home from work.

"The cybertruck has no airbags"

Idiot car designed by a dogbrained failson

"The dashboard is solid marble"

Jesus Christ it doesn't get any more stupid

"It's fake marble"

Fuck off...

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Cybertruck comes with free tombstone, just needs to be engraved with your visage in an automated high speed collision. A unique artwork for your loved ones to remember you by made on demand, just-in-time. It's the peak of logistical sophistication.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

Techbros hate regulations and safety concerns with a remarkable focus. I think deep down they have a death drive, even if it is primarily for the deaths of other people. capitalist-laugh

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

At least the paramadics who have to scoop up my brain matter and skull fragments will think it looks like something out of a scifi

2000s budget car in Asia moment.

Most Asian countries had pretty lax regulations on airbags at the time compared to the West.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That and Takata made like, half of all airbags, and they turn into a claymore mine if they are exposed to humidity

Oof, that’s one of the more important things to regulate too…. Thanks for the context

Who keeps buying these pieces of trash over 2009 Toyota Camrys?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

With the used car market like it is? An ‘09 Toyota Camry is practically a luxury car

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Who keeps buying these pieces of trash over 1987 Toyota HiLux?

fixed

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

For the cybertruck it's only die-hard Musk fans. Even people I know who own teslas think it looks like shit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not to kill the mood, but that looks like the early concept render, a lot of concepts look impractical and illegal to build.

The cyber truck still looks mostly impractical and illegal to build but I think it has a real dash now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

a lot of concepts look impractical and illegal to build

bro have you even seen 99.8% of the trucks on the road today

Since 1999 it's been federal law that front driver and passenger sides of vehicles have airbags.

So no. There's airbags there coming out of someplace.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Companies break the law all the time. You'll recall VW got nailed recently for lying about their emissions, and whole industries (AirBnb, Uber, and all derivatives) have been built on flagrantly ignoring the law.

Between the endless examples of corporate crimes and the obvious financial incentives to keep doing them, the presumption should be that every company is breaking the law.

You never know, Musk might have ordered his engineers to "replace the airbags with fart noises 😂🤣" despite every single one of his engineers telling him it's a bad idea.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (7 children)

Because nothing is ever done that ignores or defies regulations.

Because the fines are always so steep and crushing that corporations never continue doing the bad thing while just paying the tiny fines.

Why are you using the word "apparently" @[email protected] ? Isn't it your car? Shouldn't you know this?
