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"

Now it just looks like it's joined KKK

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

perfect example of the disconnect

[–] [email protected] 83 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Dude should get this wrap.

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

Not beating those "low-poly" accusations

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour 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] 1 points 1 hour 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 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 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] 3 points 4 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] 2 points 1 hour 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] 34 points 9 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] 1 points 1 hour ago

Run over? You mean decapitate with the sharp edges

[–] [email protected] 99 points 12 hours 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] 29 points 9 hours ago

Bots are cheaper than PR teams to employ

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 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] 51 points 13 hours ago (7 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] 10 points 10 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] 15 points 13 hours 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] 18 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

A wild story that seems to have been forgotten.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 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] 2 points 3 hours ago

He's currently working quite hard on making that dystopia future a reality unfortunately...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours 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] 4 points 10 hours ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 hours ago (2 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.

Wait, that place I put all my junk too good for outside but not good enough for in the house is for automobiles?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 12 hours ago

The garage only has space for two of my vehicles when empty anyway. Besides, how else are people going to keep tabs on how my project car is going? They need to know when it finally has wheels.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago

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

It might also be Saddam Hussain.

Now it’s ready for the KKK meeting.

I can't even tell what's conspiracy anymore

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder if you can apply something adhesive under the tarp and let it just sit overnight. There so many terrible things you can do under a tarp quickly and without anyone even knowing since the cameras are convered up.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

After sealing up cracks and drafts in my house, all I can say is one can of spray foam can cause unimaginable frustration.

Ziptie the trigger and chuck it under the tarp.

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

Take the trigger off and whack the valve real hard, like you dropped it off a shelf. Spray foam will get everywhere and it’s impossible to stop.

Ask me how I know.

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

I know how you know.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

This dude has a crazy coincidental full name, huh

OP is definitely shitposting. Honestly it's a pretty funny one!
