I love how people get pissed off at truck nuts. Just ignore it if you don't like them.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 hours ago

A thing has nuts.

You ride it.

Sounds gay.

Gay lead; when being a stone top just isn't hard enough.

It works hard, it plays hard.

Never thought about it, but modes of transport are usually referred to as she/her, so this totally checks out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Machinery of any kind is often gendered in the feminine. Particularly when you are either mad at the machine for not working or you are begging it to work.

[–] nforminvasion 4 points 1 hour ago

The machine spirit cares not for our trifling concepts of gender and binaries. It demands only loyalty to the omnissiah and purity of mind.

N-n-nuh uh! It was always a guy, I just helped reveal that truth!

(Whoosh)

[–] NutWrench 18 points 1 day ago

Because that's what it means to be a MAN! Bolting fake testicles onto your truck.

Bunch of striving, alpha-male wannabe, Oakley-wearing Thumb heads.

[–] athairmor 41 points 1 day ago

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be fair, all trucks probably come with many nuts (and bolts) by default, so what's 2 more?

[–] undergroundoverground 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait until you hear about genetics

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think trucks have those

[–] undergroundoverground 3 points 23 hours ago

They keep them right next to the automotive gender reassignment theatres.

[–] Pirky 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I've been tempted to get a set for it because I think it'd be funny.

Edit: I've also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED's into the nuts so they'll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

They're illegal in my ~~country~~ county, but I have seriously considered seeing if I could find a vagina to go there instead, since they're not covered in the law.

[–] TheRealKuni 19 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whoops, autocorrect. Meant "county" not "country"

[–] TheRealKuni 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

What county CAN make truck nuts illegal? If you’re in the US I feel like that’s a first amendment violation.

[–] roguetrick 2 points 1 hour ago

That's the "puerile" obscenity carve-out for the first amendment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they're illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

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

They're illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can't have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.

Also, we're not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.

Reminds me of the old gif of that woman skydiving naked

[–] problematicPanther 3 points 4 hours ago

i'd look it up, but i'm on my work computer.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Jesus Christ. 🤣

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

Alternatively, you could put a cowbell on it, it's not obscene, but it's just as red neck.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It doesn't work, bc no matter how many you put on, it always needs more cowbell.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

The first day you attach one cowbell.

The second you attach two more cowbells.

The third you attach four more cowbells.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nuts? Like in anaphylactic shock nuts? I don't get it

[–] rockSlayer 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a thing called truck nuts. It's a rubber ballsack that hangs from the trailer hitch.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

No way. You're making it up

Edit: OMG why didn't I die before knowing that

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

It's always good to witness a lucky 10,000 situation

The two men sold Truck Nuts through the late 1990s and 2000s, competing both in the market and in private, exchanging angry phone calls and emails. This conflict escalated into public relations wars, social media conflicts, posts on review sites, blog attack posts, and finally to legal cease and desist orders. Vice News published an article about the feud titled "Balls Out: The Weird Story of the Great Truck Nuts War".

I am so not surprised

That was step 1. Step 2 is the fact that now you’ll see them everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don't live in the US, so probably no

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I live in a part of the US where little old ladies drive large pickups with snowplows on the front. Ain't no one but some short dicked city slicker tourist driving around with truck nuts and often those spikey lug nut covers. And maybe it's all on a 1 ton dually for the extra douche.

Gender assignment surgery

They would probably be against that too though

[–] nforminvasion 1 points 1 hour ago

/uj many conservatives and even many progressives unfortunately ask the doctor or comply with the doctor's suggestion of gender surgery for intersex babies. It's rare for sure but not that rare.

I think even many progressives would not because they're biggoted against intersex people but fear of the uncertainty in parenting that child. Instead of sitting in the discomfort they would rather just fall back to what they know.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Nah, they love GAS

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

Does that mean you can get insurance to cover the purchase of a pair of truck nuts?

[–] mrslt 5 points 1 day ago

It's true. We didn't make the rules.
