A Boring Dystopia

The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

I can no longer tell what is and is not satire. (mander.xyz)

Is this a joke? What else could be under that tarp? It even has a little flap for the plug.

I feel my ability to understand satire is being attacked by reality.

And I checked the comments and its a mix of musk riding:

"I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s. Elon is great man and is doing great things for our country and uncovering so much corruption and honestly he needs more credit"

or thinking this is a joke:

"That’s not hiding the fact that there’s a swastikar under it"

Dude should get this wrap.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That actually looks better. But it's still a swastikar.

[–] CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 month ago

It’s crazy how much less offensive it looks. I’m shook.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Pre-rendered textures mapped onto simple polygons. Literally an N64 game model.

I guess this is the driver:

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Can't even wrap them, it destroys the bodywork.

That's got to be a Musk alt

Why does he feel uneasy, the windows are unbreakable.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 57 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I always thought that was a weird challenge to issue. And why would you want unbreakable side windows? To frustrate a rescue?

[–] dirtycrow@programming.dev 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’ve never thought of it that way, lol. Tech Bros must just say and do whatever they think will earn them the most praise and money. I think that is why they raised that because it was being marketed as an “ultimate truck” even though when it panned out it was the complete opposite.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There have been a few tesla based deaths/incidents based on a clear lack of a planed way out.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, it killed a CEO. And sister-in-law to Moscow Mitch? Nice.

Elon has this thing in his mind where the world will turn into some apocalyptic dystopia like that Futurama episode where Fry freezes himself for another 1000 years. That's also why he put a bio attack mode in the Model X.

And now he's doing everything to make sure the world actually turns into that.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The bio defense mode is just a HEPA filter from what I can tell, my Seat Leon has that which I often activate in tunnels during winters as studded tires are creating a lot of concrete dust.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah, no doubt it's probably not a wise idea to take a Model X into a WWI battlefield.

Uhh, if you were the kind of enormous asshole that Elon Musk is, would you want to ride in any unarmored car?

[–] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

probs because Tesla owners are getting their cars vandalized lol

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month ago

Yeah now no one will know whats under that tarp....

(do they think people do not have object permanence?)

Spending all that money on an automobile, and not bothering to park it in the garage.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait, that place I put all my junk too good for outside but not good enough for in the house is for automobiles?

[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago

The garage only has space for two of my vehicles when empty anyway. Besides, how else are people going to keep tabs on how my project car is going? They need to know when it finally has wheels.

[–] noseatbelt@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 month ago (4 children)

A friend of mine just bought a Toyota tundra and it's too long to fit in his garage. Honestly I never would have thought that'd be something you need to check first.

But then his neighbors won't see how much he owes the bank!

[–] Brujones@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I mean, have you seen these things? It's entirely possible the monstrosity doesn't fit in the garage!

i never realised how big that car actually is

imagine how many kids you can run over with that thing, amazing

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Run over? You mean decapitate with the sharp edges

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's that thing really that long??? Jesus fuck

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Pictures don't do them justice at all. They are hulking monstrosities in real life and it just doesn't really come across in pictures.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah crazy, this is the first time I have seen one and gone fuck that's stupid large. And at least here in Australia they won't pass our laws so I'm unlikely to ever see one. The thing just gets worse every time I look towards it hahaha

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

While it doesn't pass the laws in Europe either I have seen news article about one being imported into my country under some special loophoole law.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

I don’t understand how people get so easily manipulated into hating someone that has done so much to change our life’s

Not all change is good, you dimwitted simpleton.
It's lives.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 21 points 1 month ago

Now it’s ready for the KKK meeting.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Shit, I forgot about "swastikar", I kept shouting "Nazi Car" at all the Teslas in DTLA today.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

I'm partial to 'truckkk', but that obviously only works in text

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

It might also be Saddam Hussain.

[–] Gluca23@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

That thing is stupid big. Or he is a really small man, which could be the reason he bought that.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 12 points 1 month ago

OP is definitely shitposting. Honestly it's a pretty funny one!

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wonder if you can apply something adhesive under the tarp and let it just sit overnight. There so many terrible things you can do under a tarp quickly and without anyone even knowing since the cameras are convered up.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

After sealing up cracks and drafts in my house, all I can say is one can of spray foam can cause unimaginable frustration.

Ziptie the trigger and chuck it under the tarp.

You guys need to see his fb page. He’s clearly rage baiting and it’s working great for him

Man don't put a loose cover on it like that outdoors, it'll scratch the finish and cause it to rust! Oh wait, I guess it does that anyway.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

I mean if I were foolish enough to buy such an ugly, hideous, disgusting pile of garbage like the cyber “truck”, I’d be too embarrassed to admit it too. But then again, I guess if I were foolish enough to waste that much money, I’d be too foolish to feel shame.

Why did someone put a car cover on a dumpster?

[–] livingcoder@programming.dev 5 points 1 month ago

Given that "existing outside" is harmful to it, I'm guessing that the covering is basically required.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

perfect example of the disconnect
