I am too lazy to check, but did they by chance fix it? That would be even more hilarious.

No, you don't understand. Night City is a dystopia, so they use wrong manhole covers to show how corrupt this city is.
Finally, someone on Lemmy that's media literate
I only know about “DIN” specification standards because of the recent New Mind video about washers 😭
Here is a deeper rabbit hole:
Wintermute (the author of that tweet) was the name of the admin of the original german lemmy instance "feddit.de". At some point Wintermute said they would go on vacation, I think to somewhere in asia. After that they were never heard from again and the instance decayed and we all had to move to feddit.org eventuall.
Now... what if Wintermute fell down a manhole cover??
I work in municipal development, and this is the kind of shit I notice all the time.
My job is to nitpick details.
In Cyberpunk 2077, I'm fairly certain most cars float. Correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't played in years.
If that's the case, that manhole cover is just fine.
Even if it is floating, it is still pressing on the ground with the same, if not more, force. The antigravity field has to be pushing against something.
i was writing a response about aerodynamics and lift and then had flashbacks to my aerodynamics class and had a panic attack, so i'm not going to do that.
I'm comfortable with saying it fits as deliberate in-setting.
The manholes used are thinner and weaker, but cheaper to make. Night City would be the kind of place that would try to save cash on manhole covers, then if someone caves one in by driving over it, they charge the poor gonk for the replacement with a fine on top.
the TÜV is tenacious enough to crush even the biggest megacorps!
Night City would not stand a chance
Instead of fixing the spec, they should make a "randomly falls through manhole cover" mechanic.
I believe it was there on release
And people failed to understand why their heavy vehicles were getting stuck in roads.
Guys... it actual was a feature.
