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

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

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago

It works hard, it plays hard.

Hey*

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

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 21 minutes 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.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 34 points 22 hours ago

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

(Whoosh)

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours 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@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 17 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Wait until you hear about genetics

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 8 points 19 hours ago

I don't think trucks have those

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

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

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?

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 35 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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 19 points 23 hours ago

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 6 points 20 hours ago

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

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

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.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 17 hours ago

My guess would be most of them. Based on nothing.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago

Reminds me of the old gif of that woman skydiving naked

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 2 points 33 minutes ago

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

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 6 points 20 hours ago

Jesus Christ. 🤣

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com 5 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 9 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com 1 points 15 hours ago

The first day you attach one cowbell.

The second you attach two more cowbells.

The third you attach four more cowbells.

[-] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 1 points 13 hours ago

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

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

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

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

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

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

No way. You're making it up

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

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 18 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 18 points 23 hours ago
[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours 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 20 hours ago

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

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 12 minutes 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.

[-] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

Gender assignment surgery

They would probably be against that too though

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 7 points 21 hours ago

Nah, they love GAS

[-] mrslt@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] XaiwahBlue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 hours ago

Buuuut having them on your truck makes "deez nutz" jokes funnier!

I guess if the person knows about the truck nuts, that is.

Or if you're at your truck when you make the joke...
