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.

Cybertruck owners are huge fragile bitches, who'd have known?

“hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”

This had me chuckling.

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.

pleasant texture

I'd go with "rubbery".

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, for example cacio e pepe or carbonara.

Mortadellas, doctors sausage, frankfurters etc. should be emulsified afaik

If by 'more pleasant texture' you mean 'no texture whatsoever' then yes, I suppose so.

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.

You forgot no safer than a ford pinto.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.

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?

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"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

...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.

He also thinks there are a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby. Thinking may not be his strong suit.
