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

[–] Gluca23 2 points 12 minutes ago

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

[–] Sam_Bass 2 points 47 minutes ago

perfect example of the disconnect

[–] PunnyName 9 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkyezOpen 16 points 2 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] 1 points 35 minutes ago

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

[–] Bwoj 54 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Dude should get this wrap.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 minutes ago

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

[–] PunnyName 20 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 hours ago

i never realised how big that car actually is

imagine how many kids you can run over with that thing, amazing

[–] billiam0202 22 points 6 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.

That's got to be a Musk alt

Bots are cheaper than PR teams to employ

Why does he feel uneasy, the windows are unbreakable.

[–] IsThisAnAI 1 points 2 hours ago

Do they prevent spray paint?

Why is the answer to Elon always some half cocked response that ignores reality.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 9 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?

[–] billiam0202 7 points 6 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] 12 points 9 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] 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] PunnyName 1 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (1 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 Y.

And now he's doing everything to make sure the world actually turns into that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 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] 3 points 6 hours ago

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

I can't even tell what's conspiracy anymore

[–] aeronmelon 16 points 8 hours ago

It might also be Saddam Hussain.

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 hours ago (1 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.

[–] Djfok43 2 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Omg that's so sad.. what will he do now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 38 minutes ago

you just gotta have a friend drive it in rrreeeallllyyy fast.

[–] IsThisAnAI 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Park in front. Use it for storage or a workout area or something.

[–] Djfok43 1 points 1 hour ago

He can rent it.. to someone.. to live in.. LOL (if legal of course)

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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] 8 points 8 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.

[–] Brujones 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] IsThisAnAI 1 points 1 hour ago

Most trucks won't fit in an older garage build.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

But then his neighbors won't see how much he owes the bank!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 hours ago

Now it’s ready for the KKK meeting.

[–] taiyang 6 points 7 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.

[–] Bytemeister 14 points 7 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.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod 1 points 26 minutes ago

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] 12 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago

This dude has a crazy coincidental full name, huh

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago

Given that "existing outside" is harmful to it, I'm guessing that the covering is basically required.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

Yes it's clearly satire

[–] dohpaz42 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean if I were foolish enough to buy such an ugly, hideous, disgusting pile of garbage like the cyber “truck”, I’d be too embarrassed to admit it too. But then again, I guess if I were foolish enough to waste that much money, I’d be too foolish to feel shame.

[–] IsThisAnAI 1 points 1 hour ago

Or you just never had the money in the first place. I'm willing to bet it's always been the latter.
