THEY'RE PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE GASOLINE THAT TURN THE FRIGGIN TRUCKS GAY

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 37 points 1 year ago

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

(Whoosh)

[-] Pirky@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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?

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@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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.

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

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 9 points 1 year ago

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

A thing has nuts.

You ride it.

Sounds gay.

[-] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A thing has nuts.

You get inside it.

Also works for tops :)

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

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

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

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@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year 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.

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.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

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

Wait until you hear about genetics

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

I don't think trucks have those

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

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago

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

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No way. You're making it up

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

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

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

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago
[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

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

Oh I've been looking for an excuse to post this.

You thought regular truck nutz were bad? Well wait until you see the XL version!

Gender assignment surgery

They would probably be against that too though

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] limelight79@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Best truck nuts I've ever seen were two large hex nuts (i.e., for a bolt - but a very large bolt - the bolt would have had to have been an inch/2.5 cm in diameter, at least) hanging from the hitch. Wish I'd taken a picture, it was hilarious.
