Whaaaaat? That’s my height!!! That tank is what? 2 meters? And you tell me that’s a civil car? Like everyone can drive it? Don’t need to go to the army? 😳😳😳
Wow that girl is 3 meter tall what a beast
No it is the distance from the car lmao. Well tank.
That’s a weird looking tank
How else are the owners supposed to compensate for their 2cm dicks?
The insidious thing about the small dick energy is that it isn't about the efficacy of the unit. They don't care that they "can't" provide pleasure (which, let's just not dig into that for arguments sake, but I would contend the existence of lesbian sex sort of contradicts the whole correlation of dick mass to pleasure output, let alone the whole can of worms that is all the other miriad of genital and gender configurations). They view sex as transactional, performative, superficial, and perhaps even competative. It's all about them. Even if they had a supreme dick, they couldn't weild it. They're stunted, and frightened. They don't understand even basic communication, which I would argue that sex is at it's core, just a type of communication. That kid in class that mocks the topic because they don't understand it and that frightens them? So they try to tear it down and belittle the topic? Those are the kids that grow up to drive these trucks, and evidently run nations.

I'm proud to be a filthy casual sex enjoyer
I might print this comment on sticker paper for reasons.
Use their fingers?

Who ever wrote that meme text has definitively been huffing too much exhaust.
i swear it used to be 5’10”….
but, i have been feeling taller lately…
I’m 190cm and was never tall but I’m a giant among my little brother’s friends (adults)
I feel you, I'm 235cm and was always the short one
Neat? Idk, I’m newish
Yeah I’m just here to fuck cars idk
Yank tanks are multiplying on this side of the Pacific now too. I’m 6’3” and feel like a little toddler next to one. Just as easy to run over, no doubt.
I got ran over by a car while on my bike at a roundabout bike & pedestrian crossing: I'm so glad it was a normal sized Opel instead of a tank. Only got a bruise on my butt and even my bike just needed the front wheel realigned. If it was a F-whatever monstrosity I would've been hurt much, much worse.
Personal vehicles in cities should be limited anyways and public transportation/pedestrian & biking paths encouraged. I hate the dust rising from stud tires grinding asphalt.

I think the majority of streets don't need to be thoroughfares for cars. We could block and barricade most streets so that bicycles and pedestrians can pass through but cars can only get in and out by a single route. Anyone who isn't visiting a home or business in that neighborhood just wouldn't turn off of the main road. Rat running, the use of parallel side streets to avoid traffic and police speed enforcement also causes a lot of problems. #FuckCars #Urbanism

There's diagrams that show the visual impairments such trucks have. They are worse than semi trucks and even an Abrams tank.
Above a certain height, trucks should be mandated to have the engine behind, like eurotrucks.
If that's supposed to be understood by Americans, they probably should have put the units in football field-school busses.
Length is measured in hotdogs, width is measured in hamburgers
I don't get how these people even feel comfortable driving something where you can't see the road that's in front of you for 10+ meters out. I just wouldn't feel safe, there could be any kind of obstruction you can't see on the road from 10m away but will still fuck up your day and/or life.

How else are they going to advertise their tiny cocks without public indecency charges?

How much fuel does it burn in comparison to normal European car?
Yes
And then some
Should require a CDL to drive something that big. It's a bus sized front end.
And transit busses have a flat front end and a large wind shield.

I agree but I think that car hoods should be higher. If you're hit by one of these you'll die slowly of organ pulverization. It'd be better to be hit in the head and die quickly of head pulverization. It's just that the poor truck cannot reach that high so it needs to be BIGGER. Maybe stick some spikes on there too, and have an optional extended package for saw blades!
