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.

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.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

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

I guess this is the driver:

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Not beating those "low-poly" accusations

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

"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

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.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year 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 5 points 1 year 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 3 points 1 year 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.

Why does he feel uneasy, the windows are unbreakable.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year 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?

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

A wild story that seems to have been forgotten.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year 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 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Gluca23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Vari@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Why did someone put a car cover on a dumpster?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (7 children)

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

[–] noseatbelt@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] Djfok43@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Now it’s ready for the KKK meeting.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

  1. Not all change is good, you dimwitted simpleton.

  2. It's lives.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 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.
