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"

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 48 points 18 hours ago

Now it just looks like it's joined KKK

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

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

Why did someone put a car cover on a dumpster?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 17 hours ago

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

Dude should get this wrap.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 12 hours ago

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

I guess this is the driver:

[–] [email protected] 33 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 18 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

Not beating those "low-poly" accusations

[–] [email protected] 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours 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] 6 points 14 hours 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] 3 points 16 hours ago

Gotta love the fact it's on a flatbed. Wonder which of the dozens of possible ways it broke down.

[–] [email protected] 116 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"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

[–] [email protected] 37 points 23 hours ago

Bots are cheaper than PR teams to employ

[–] [email protected] 37 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 19 hours 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] 8 points 17 hours 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] 5 points 14 hours 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] 41 points 22 hours 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] 4 points 14 hours ago

Run over? You mean decapitate with the sharp edges

[–] [email protected] 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Revan343 5 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 23 hours 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.

Why does he feel uneasy, the windows are unbreakable.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 day ago (10 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] 14 points 23 hours 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] 18 points 1 day 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] 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

A wild story that seems to have been forgotten.

Don't look at comments, at least half of them on any given social media now is from a bot. A bot designed specifically to create "engagement", or in other terms, sew division through vitriolic discourse.

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

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day 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?

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.

perfect example of the disconnect

Now it’s ready for the KKK meeting.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

It might also be Saddam Hussain.
