A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.
the only way these people will learn [is] if they are shamed
Oh projection…
Oh projection…
I don’t think you really understand the words you use.
You’re saying shaming nazis is shameful?
You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.
Bro the quote is from a nazi car OWNER not the critics, the OWNER of nazi car is doing the projecting. You clearly dont understand that even after multiple people have pointed it out and thats why youre getting flamed. Lick your wounds and move on.
These protestors in front of Tesla Service Centers need to see what a majority looks like…A couple hundred CTs surrounding them might do it.”
This guy thinks the majority means “whoever shows up with weapons”
He also thinks there are a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby. Thinking may not be his strong suit.
…A couple hundred CTs…
Gonna be hard to get the majority of them that have been sold to show up in one place at one time.
I was gonna make a joke about that in my original comment but I checked and was surprised to find that like 30k have been sold in the US
Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.
I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I’ve driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I’ve ever driven. It’s just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.
It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.
Should we all sign up to test drive Teslas with zero intentions to buy, just to cost them time & money?
I have a feeling that one of Elon’s kids were the inspiration. One told him while watching Blade Runner or something with them “Why does the future not look like the future?”, then he decided to cook, and people around him let him.
You forgot no safer than a ford pinto.
Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.
Oh, the Pinto, with it’s missing gas tank design, and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death. Gotta love the Pinto…
American cheese used to cost more than eggs. Now cheese is 10x cheaper than eggs. New throwables just dropped.
Cheese frisbee!
WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?
Lmfao
“cheese”
We only serve “cheese product” in the US of A.
Blue cheese.
Ask grimes, or any of the other sell-out women that have tasted it.
True, but they’ve also probably been paid enough to lie about it.
They’re all masochists. I’ve never seen a group that wants to be oppressed more than conservatives. Their lives revolve around bullshit perceived aggrievement.
Christian conservatives are the worst of them all. Their entire society is steeped in their religion; it’s literally unavoidable, despite the first amendment being very clear. If the US has a culture, it would heavily overlap with Christianity.
And yet they have convinced themselves that they are being oppressed. Because someone dared to challenge their obviously unconstitutional bullshit. It’s so pathetic.
My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.
There’s no hope for these people.
A lot of core concepts in Christianity are incompatible with being white in America. It’s a religion for the oppressed being practiced by the oppressors. They’re the Pharisees. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to figure out how to see themselves as the lepers and the Jews.
Happy Holidays has entered the chat.
The modern Christian Establishment has a great deal in common with the United States itself. There’s tons of writing and chatter about being based on principles of personal freedom and responsibility, taking care of one another, etc. while in real life the ones steering those ships will laugh you out of the room if you suggest they actually try to live and treat folks anything like their texts say they should.
There are, of course, genuinely good Christian and American individuals out there, but they are clearly not the ones in control of their institutions; the collective human organizations which serve to represent them are all about keeping up sparkly appearances and telling nice stories while standing firmly on the necks of anyone they deem too different from themselves.
Fancy way to call people stupid
It’s a unique kind of stupid that deserves recognition.
Throwing cheese at cars is my new favorite form of antifascist protest!
If it’s parked, bird seed is a good one! Those birds will probably do some pooping.
Dicks buying cybershits deserve some mockery.
I see a Reichertruck sometimes on my commute and wonder if the driver gets shit for it. It just gets an angry glare from me.
i call it the cybercoffin, and the charcuterie on wheels.
Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.
Cybertruck? Oh, that boxy Prius. Gotcha.
The prius doesn’t deserve that.
Dude, the last version of the Prius I saw was a couple years ago on MKBHD, and it looked amazing and had a solar roof.
I was an adult when I learned that some people say flick instead of flip.
it’s what we all called it in first grade. past that bot so much
Destroying people’s property is not a joke. Kicking, spray painting, throwing food at, and other forms of harassment are wrong. The last administration told everyone to “go electric” so people tried to do what they thought was right. Cars are a huge expense, people can’t " just go get another one".
No one bought a six figure truck with no reasonable application because they thought it was right thing to do, they did it to show how they had more disposable income than you and that they aligned with hatred. They deserve much worse than anything I see here.
While I agree “sell your car” is kind of ridiculous when nobody is buying and everyone is saying “don’t own it OR ELSE”. On the other hand most teslas are owned by the bank and people larping being rich as tesla is a premium car (nevermind that it’s built like to the standard of russian cars and falls apart constantly). Thirdly this is about the cybertruck. Cybertruck was a man squatting with his trousers down and making a face of great effort. Unless you are a complete moron or otherwise obnoxious, you knew exactly what was coming out of that anus. With a cybertruck It’s either in hidden away as an investment since it will be the next delorean once us civil war is over, or you are a bona fide complete moron for owning it and honestly deserve the financial hole.
If it was a 5 year old Tesla you might have a point. There is no excuse for the memetruck.
Bootlicker
So, they acting at the same level as Nazi…
Buying a Cybertruck: a choice
Being Jewish, a woman, transgender, disabled, etc, etc: not a choice
Your right I’m gonna hold up a small sign somewhere out of the way to fight Nazism. I have a feeling that reading the sign will hurt the Nazis feelings and that will really deter them. Plus people will appreciate that I didn’t disturb anyone at all. /s
Dude this is a pretty mild form of protest.
I sympathize with the people who bought the car not realizing he’s a Nazi asshole. But considering his treatment of workers and general anti-repair attitudes have been well known for a while. I’m not gonna sympathize too hard.
This is exactly like the support groups for parents who got NCed after refusing to get off their MAGA bullshit. Don’t buy a dumb car if you don’t want people to say you have a dumb car.

I like this “throwing slices of American cheese” at Cybertrucks. It’s barely even food, so it’s not really that wasteful. I’m sure the synthetic oilly shit has a wonderful reaction with that unprotected stainless steel. It’s also fucking hilarious - “hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”

SPRUNT@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Just wanted to say that the hate on American cheese is unjustified. American cheese is just cheddar that has been heated to 170f (iirc) for long enough to kill bacteria and make it shelf-stable. They add an emulsifier (again, iirc) to help it bind better and have a more pleasant texture.
All other criticisms of America are valid, but the cheese doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.
MrsDoyle@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
I’d go with “rubbery”.
Schmoo@slrpnk.net 4 weeks ago
You forgot to mention that it’s watered down. That’s what the emulsifier is for, to make the oils in the cheese mix well with the added water. The concept is fine - for some applications - if it were only that, but this is hyper-processed American food we’re talking about here. Gotta pad out that ingredient list:
ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Literally this is why it gets hate. It’s not remotely Cheddar. Real Cheddar is deliberately none of these things. I love a crunchy cheese crystal and a crumbly organic texture. To each their own, but it’s not Cheddar, barely cheese. I’d have it in a burger, but only because so few places will melt real cheese properly. Brie is pretty good in a burger. Is Somerset Brie really Brie? Time for a Frenchman to tell me to gtfo…

IMHO, it has three purposes:
If your Kraft singles are too precious, I think the Dollar Tree brands stray even further from gods light.
scholar@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
If by ‘more pleasant texture’ you mean ‘no texture whatsoever’ then yes, I suppose so.
endeavor@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks ago
I agree, the american cheese is an Interesting and useful invention. At the end of the day it’s just emulsified cheese. Similiar to emusified sausages and meat products, which are popular all around the world.
I much rather hate american insistace on substituting technique and culinary education with cream, corn syrup, sugar and butter.
Botunda@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
American Cheese is not actually cheese. It is cheese food product. Even deli American cheese is not cheese.
Andonyx@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Check out Nile Red on Nebula, (or YT if that’s your bag). He makes American Cheese from the ground cheddar up and you can watch. Having done so, I agree with you.
trueheresy@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
I wonder if one of the problems is your comparison of American cheese to what I’m guessing might be American cheddar. I say this because most (and I know there are some niche outliers) American cheddars are pretty awful. It tastes processed, rubbery and bland.
When I, a Brit, lived in the USA for 4 yrs I quickly learned the only good cheddar was the NZ or UK stuff. I say this as someone who has gone through at least 1-3 blocks of various British cheddars a week for almost 40 yrs.
I wonder if you have had imported (not just branded as “English cheddar” before for example? It might blow your mind… but also if American cheddar is all you have know it might not taste all that good - we all have our tastes shaped by our upbringing.
JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Processed cheese is only called “American cheese” by Americans.
The rest of the world doesn’t call it that, and it’s strange to see that some of you take it on as part of your national identity.
Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Honestly if you ever tasted anything else than cheddar and mozzarella, you know that americans cheese is something else. I’m willing to bet you could leave some slices in a forest and no animal would touch it.

Not to mention that depending on force of the throw, and precise angle of the impact of cheese slice, the thing could start falling apart.

The latter is so they can kill them with a written record to aid their defense in court.
I’d call it premeditated, first degree murder, but I’m not on their jury so my opinion is irrelevant.
