critical support for melon-musk doing what would get me put in prison: making a box that locks, turns rich people into paste, then sets on fire.

And they pay money for it! he-admit-it

lenin-sure The capitalist will ~~sell us the rope~~ finance the Cybertruck that kills them

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 62 points 1 year ago

I know that stuff and it's probably harder than actual marble.

[-] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Is that because normal marble would like fracture and split into pieces?

[-] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago

Real marble is soft. That's why they make sculptures out of it. It's easy to carve. You can cut it with a butter knife if you really want to.

My life is a lie. Why didn't I learn this is school!

It's made out of smooshed up old seashells.

[-] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

How does everyone know this but me? If it wasn't the education system of a lower socioeconomic neighborhood in the imperial core then it must be due to slacking off a ton 🥲

[-] Venus@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago

I knew about marble being soft and useless from dwarf fortress

You end up with a lot of rock and ore facts from playing that game lmao

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Dwarf Fortress is basically Geology 101: The Game.

[-] charlie@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

I think marble is actually pretty soft for stone. It’s a 3 on the Mohs hardness scale.

[-] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

You have corrected a long standing misunderstanding, thank you comrade o7

[-] LocalMaxima@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago

The crumple zone is your skull

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

lol, The Cybertruck truly is the vehicle of the future! The auto-driver can slam you into stationary objects, the solid slab dashboard can cause fatal head trauma, the battery can cremate the remains, and it can even be used as a tasteful mausoleum for your receptacle after the fact. That's just smart design!

I don’t see any vents. Imagine buying a luxury vehicle with no driver AC in of the climate crisis.

melon-musk the Cybertruck simply will not crash or come to a stop. it is entirely invincible.

I hope every rich person tests this theory by driving into the mariana trench

Unstoppable Force (truck) meets Immovable Object (ego)

[-] rubpoll@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago

I now 100% support Elon Musk's biggest fans driving Cybertrucks at high speeds.

He showed up to Twitter his first day with a sink. Dude gets a lot of inspiration by getting blazed and standing in the center of his kitchen for two hours. I can relate

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago

Cool, now I can do meal prep on the go. Chop them veggies on the way home from work.

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

"The cybertruck has no airbags"

Idiot car designed by a dogbrained failson

"The dashboard is solid marble"

Jesus Christ it doesn't get any more stupid

"It's fake marble"

Fuck off...

[-] culpritus@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Cybertruck comes with free tombstone, just needs to be engraved with your visage in an automated high speed collision. A unique artwork for your loved ones to remember you by made on demand, just-in-time. It's the peak of logistical sophistication.

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

At least the paramadics who have to scoop up my brain matter and skull fragments will think it looks like something out of a scifi

[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

2000s budget car in Asia moment.

[-] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago
[-] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Most Asian countries had pretty lax regulations on airbags at the time compared to the West.

[-] red_stapler@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

That and Takata made like, half of all airbags, and they turn into a claymore mine if they are exposed to humidity

[-] Vode_An@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 year ago

Oof, that’s one of the more important things to regulate too…. Thanks for the context

[-] Hexbear2@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Who keeps buying these pieces of trash over 2009 Toyota Camrys?

With the used car market like it is? An ‘09 Toyota Camry is practically a luxury car

Who keeps buying these pieces of trash over 1987 Toyota HiLux?

fixed

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

For the cybertruck it's only die-hard Musk fans. Even people I know who own teslas think it looks like shit.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago
[-] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Not to kill the mood, but that looks like the early concept render, a lot of concepts look impractical and illegal to build.

The cyber truck still looks mostly impractical and illegal to build but I think it has a real dash now.

[-] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

bro have you even seen 99.8% of the trucks on the road today

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 year ago

Since 1999 it's been federal law that front driver and passenger sides of vehicles have airbags.

So no. There's airbags there coming out of someplace.

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

Companies break the law all the time. You'll recall VW got nailed recently for lying about their emissions, and whole industries (AirBnb, Uber, and all derivatives) have been built on flagrantly ignoring the law.

Between the endless examples of corporate crimes and the obvious financial incentives to keep doing them, the presumption should be that every company is breaking the law.

You never know, Musk might have ordered his engineers to "replace the airbags with fart noises 😂🤣" despite every single one of his engineers telling him it's a bad idea.

[-] The_Walkening@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If it doesn't, there's an extremely funny scenario where Tesla tries to sell it as an off-road vehicle, which don't have the safety requirements, but can't be issued a plate in thr majority of US states.

Why are you using the word "apparently" @Elon_Musk@hexbear.net ? Isn't it your car? Shouldn't you know this?
