I get the feeling its a failed attempt to be funny by referencing the Christmas sales events that car dealerships always have.

I guess they don’t celebrate Truck Month or the Sign Then Drive event? Losers!

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

I prefer Trarch to Trucktober.

Don't worry. That's when I got my Ferd F-teenthousand.

I mean everyone's scratching their heads and not finding it funny or anything, so I'd say yeah, failed attempt.

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

everyone

No, not everyone.

Okay I get that there are a lot of car sales seasons or something but I don't get the relationship between the heterosexuality and Kia. Does Kia have a reputation for being super heterosexual or something? Or against lgbt/pride movement?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

instead of pride month, it's the kia summer sales event. I guess it's supposed to be a joke implying it's the only thing straight people have to celebrate this month.

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

No it doesn’t. Kia just has a sales event that overlaps with gay month.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

This is a very US centric joke.

Y’all must not be from the US, or must have really good ad blockers.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The number of people not from the US is actually surprisingly large.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm not from the US, correct, and am very happy with my ad blockers, correct. I'm still hoping I can make sense of this post eventually

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

Kia pushes a huge ad campaign every summer

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

US here, but yes really good ad blockers. Degoogled phone, ublock, ...

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

Degoogled phone

is it a pixel? or is this also somehow possible with other phones?

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

Ironically, Google Pixels are great for degoogling. Yeah this is a Pixel 7. Also did this to a Pixel 4A5G.

Mine has CalyxOS installed, but you can also try Graphene or Lineage. Each choice will let you know the supported phones on their site.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (2 children)

yeah so I'm going to need a new phone in the near future and was considering a degooglable one but it feels conflicting to buy one from google

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

Calyxos supports fairphone and some others. Dunno about the other os'

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

I hear that. Felt the same.

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

I think it’s somebody trying to be passive, aggressive, but the fact that I have to say, I think proves the level of thought that went into it.
