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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago

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

I guess this is the driver:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I regularly see 3 of them in my local area that are wrapped.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

op wasn't referring to the feasibility of wrapping but rather the disastrous consequences of it when using the word "can't"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Oh ok, so if they didn't pay an astronomical amount of money for a proper primer coat first, it's gonna damage the low grade ~~stainless~~ steel body?

I'm not surprised really but I am constantly impressed at how Tesla managed to use such a low quality steel for that body.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not beating those "low-poly" accusations

"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"

That's got to be a Musk alt

Now it just looks like it's joined KKK

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

i never realised how big that car actually is

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Run over? You mean decapitate with the sharp edges

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

He is the king of Telsa ragebaiting, he's looking EXACTLY for your reaction and has been doing so for years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Why does he feel uneasy, the windows are unbreakable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

A wild story that seems to have been forgotten.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Why did someone put a car cover on a dumpster?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Omg that's so sad.. what will he do now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

you just gotta have a friend drive it in rrreeeallllyyy fast.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Most trucks won't fit in an older garage build.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You say it like that's fucking normal and it's just too much for my European brain

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

It is normal here. We have more space in general but even my outback is almost too big for my decent sized garage. Modern cars and trucks are just big.

What the fuck, even if he's small, that's huge.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Now it’s ready for the KKK meeting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks 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.
