I had to laugh when I read an article about the Tesla's in China and when they malfunction people are not allowed to say it out loud they have to be quiet about the cause. And they actually sue people and they actually win the lawsuit making people not say what the real cause was.

In all fairness, some beads are dinky, and some are big as hell and you would not want to get hit with them. I've known folks to get teeth broken by fast moving large beads. We're talking individual beads between half and three quarters of an inch solid plastic on a string of about 40 of them.

sentientpostbox.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yeah but teeth don't Claim to be bullet proof

bumblesnuff.bsky.social•91 days ago

Beads can break car windows? I knew broken spark plug ceramic could, but beads are a new twist.

I've used some beads in slingshots, they pack a punch - they were very heavy for the size - idk what they were made of - I was a teenager, worked at an arts and crafts shop.. huge beads for those big plant hangers that could hold a goldfish bowl ..

alicemcole.bsky.social•91 days ago

If I read the article comments correctly, I think they were carrying some of the parade marshals?

boredompeejeterson.bsky.social•91 days ago

I'm not American and we don't really have parade marshals like that here in Germany but I thought those guys would be visible in a convertible or on a float or something and not hidden in a truck?

rankled.bsky.social•91 days ago

No. For some dumb reason the parade organizers let these cyber trucks serve as marshall trucks this year. All from out of state. Harry Connick Jr's parade. Idk what the fuck they were thinking.

boredompeejeterson.bsky.social•91 days ago

So instead of showing the marshal, they are showing off nazi trucks. Great.

gcfong.bsky.social•91 days ago

Remains wrong to damage someone’s property because you dislike the man who created what that consumer bought with his/her money. You will go to jail, or get shot, and no police officer or judge is going to accept your justification.

Reminder that DOGE has not alleged one incident of “waste or fraud”! They haven’t filed one indictment or arrested one person. DOGE is just firing people so they stop departments from functioning so Musk can claim the need for privatization and give his companies taxpayer millions!

toddsleaving.bsky.social•91 days ago

Understated point you bring up. There cannot be W/F/A without a crime... so where the hell are the arrests???

imdiannef.bsky.social•88 days ago

There are no people left to hold them accountable. They have purged all that would have. That has been a point, to replace everyone fired with "loyalists".

toddsleaving.bsky.social•88 days ago

But if they committed a crime of WFA and are now a private citizen they can still be charged…

pentag0nal.bsky.social•92 days ago

Quick question: so I know the Cybertruck was never the bulletproof wundercar Elon claimed it was, but a cracked windshield? What the hell are they making their beads out of nowadays?

untilwemeetagain.bsky.social•91 days ago

They made the Cybertruck windshield flatter than normal to fit the aesthetic. The curved shape on normal car windshields helps their strength.

Cybertruck windshields are pretty weak due to this structural flaw and there have been lots of reports of them cracking easily.

scormey.bsky.social•92 days ago

Last Saturday night, I was driving on the freeway, and while I did legitimately need to pass the person I was behind in the outside lane, I did enjoy cutting off the Cybertruck that was approaching on the inside lane. I could have let him pass first... /1

scormey.bsky.social•92 days ago

... and I could have passed the guy on the outside lane a teensy bit faster than I did (I passed him at 1 MPH over the speed limit), but there was no one else nearby, and upsetting a Cybertruck douchebag was just too much fun.

Petty, I know, but sometimes you just gotta indulge in it /2

xehtfodrol.bsky.social•91 days ago

It would have been interesting if the vehicle had been normally designed, like if it was a truck in the lines of say, a Rivian.

I don't think the response would have been the same if the Cybertruck hadn't been designed explicitly to be an ugly Chud-mobile

batsdingersatk.bsky.social•92 days ago
