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"

Man don't put a loose cover on it like that outdoors, it'll scratch the finish and cause it to rust! Oh wait, I guess it does that anyway.

He is the king of Telsa ragebaiting, he's looking EXACTLY for your reaction and has been doing so for years.

[–] feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

What the fuck, even if he's small, that's huge.

[–] Vari@lemm.ee 6 points 4 hours ago

You guys need to see his fb page. He’s clearly rage baiting and it’s working great for him

Why did someone put a car cover on a dumpster?

[–] Michal@programming.dev 47 points 9 hours ago

Now it just looks like it's joined KKK

[–] Gluca23@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Bwoj@lemmy.world 115 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

Dude should get this wrap.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago

Pre-rendered textures mapped onto simple polygons. Literally an N64 game model.

I guess this is the driver:

Not beating those "low-poly" accusations

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 7 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Aphelion@lemm.ee 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours 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"

[–] Aphelion@lemm.ee 6 points 6 hours 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.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 32 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] CHOPSTEEQ@lemmy.ml 15 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 4 points 8 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.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 35 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 31 points 10 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.

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 7 points 9 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

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours 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.

"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

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.world 35 points 15 hours ago

Bots are cheaper than PR teams to employ

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 14 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

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Run over? You mean decapitate with the sharp edges

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

perfect example of the disconnect

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago

I'm partial to 'truckkk', but that obviously only works in text

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 29 points 15 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.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 55 points 18 hours ago (13 children)

I always thought that was a weird challenge to issue. And why would you want unbreakable side windows? To frustrate a rescue?

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago

Uhh, if you were the kind of enormous asshole that Elon Musk is, would you want to ride in any unarmored car?

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

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 29 points 18 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?

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.
