What did he expect when he bought the swasticar?

elvigy.bsky.social•75 days ago

Cyberflake?

geekygearhead99.bsky.social•75 days ago

If there’s more to the story, I want to hear the rest lol

benjkrause.bsky.social•75 days ago

I remember when GM unleashed the Hummer H2 on the streets, and “FUH2”—taking photos of people flipping off Hummers out in public—became a thing. That was fun. 🤩

decmusicology.bsky.social•75 days ago

Is this maybe the best thing that has ever happened?

I think it's the best thing that has ever happened

joshlowe.bsky.social•75 days ago

I think the Ctruck is dumb but going out of your way to be a dick to someone for driving one is wack

artemis46.bsky.social•85 days ago

I heard an ad on our local radio station the other day for "male contraception that is 99 percent effective" - buying a cyber truck. 😂🫣

I was planning on taking that disgusting spiced Coke that I got to huck at our local Cybertruck, but Slugo decided to drink it against all reason.

doomscroll.bsky.social•75 days ago

The point of that thing is to get attention… sucks it wasn’t the kind of attention he wanted I guess

bestillandknow.bsky.social•75 days ago

Such an excellent point

blueismycolour.bsky.social•75 days ago

The naxxi truck

Swasticar

wandererwerewolf.bsky.social•75 days ago

I wouldn't mock him. Owning a cybertruck is punishment enough, isn't it?

scionofnight.bsky.social•75 days ago

Good

derekmahr.bsky.social•75 days ago

YES!

Also.... ahahaha Iowa (I'm in DSM)

rageundersilk.bsky.social•75 days ago

100% ethical bullying.

believesinscience.bsky.social•75 days ago

I can see why you might think that, but I think it’s more mocking what an ugly fucking truck it is that only a dip shit would buy. And frankly, ethical bullying is how we maintain social norms as a society. There is some actual constructive value to it…

profchildermass.bsky.social•75 days ago

Sell me your Cybertruck for cheap! I'll pay 20k for it used. No money to Elon that way.

iratelump.bsky.social•75 days ago

He may not be allowed to sell it. The purchase contracts of those things says you have to own it for a full year before you can resell to anyone but back to Tesla.

chrisdaniel.net•75 days ago

Wonder how enforceable that is ...

profchildermass.bsky.social•75 days ago

They're selling them and afaik Telsa hasn't tried to enforce it.

canray.bsky.social•85 days ago

Good. Keep flipping him off.

rueco1.bsky.social•75 days ago

Man, got to love Iowa City! Dem spot in a sea of corn

erikt.bsky.social•75 days ago

I see Gabe's is still running! Cool!

rueco1.bsky.social•74 days ago

Been there, saw some concerts there.

notaboomer.bsky.social•75 days ago

Nah he’s loving it

johnsonep.bsky.social•85 days ago

He’s in IOWA CITY. What did he imagine would happen?

captainpooky.bsky.social•85 days ago

Given that he was deluded enough to buy the damn thing, I don't think much thought went into how people would react in this town.

johnsonep.bsky.social•85 days ago

Fair. Absurd, but fair

dragonesseclectic.bsky.social•85 days ago

What's the deal with Iowa City and cybertrucks? I don't get it.

turnerjoy.bsky.social•74 days ago

Iowa City and Madison, WI are college towns that are like the Midwest version of Portland or Austin.

turnerjoy.bsky.social•74 days ago

Another reason is that when surrounded by actual trucks, even many of the normally rare actual work trucks, like in the Midwest; the Cybertruck manages to look even dumber and ridiculous

joypainlife.bsky.social•69 days ago

Berkeley on the prairie ! ;)

smurfsm00.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yeah the only time I lived in Iowa City I lived with militant feminist anarcho-communists so I can’t imagine this shit would fly, even 20 yrs later.

Performative masculinity is a hell of a thing

captainpooky.bsky.social•85 days ago

Pleased to inform you that the militant feminist anarcho-communist population is still thriving here.

johnsonep.bsky.social•85 days ago

Man—I wish IC were farther north. I’d love to live there, but I don’t want to move even 30 min farther south

pixelfish.bsky.social•85 days ago

Am excited to learn about Iowa City.

*adds this to her store of Nifty Geography (& Demographics) Facts*

tarry-not.bsky.social•75 days ago

Sudden boom in IC tourism? Local government should thank you.

smurfsm00.bsky.social•85 days ago

Haha what about the coked-up art brats from wealthy Chicago suburbs they still a thing?

captainpooky.bsky.social•85 days ago

Yeah, they currently do free screen printing workshops for anyone interested and mostly hang out at the punk scenes.

barbarianbooty.bsky.social•83 days ago

Do you have a link? I’m not a wealthy suburb mom. I’m a poor Southside mom, but I wanna learn print screen!

alchemic-punk.bsky.social•85 days ago

Based on this conversation Iowa City fuckin' rules.

theodinson.bsky.social•75 days ago

Oidi Doidi Duh.
Omg i feel sooooooooo bad for him.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

aolgrandpa.bsky.social•74 days ago

They didn't want to feel bad about anything ever, and they're enraged that meanie bobeanies keep giving their feelings an owie

gideonmarcus.bsky.social•74 days ago

Has anyone trademarked "meanie-babies" yet?

keblaster.bsky.social•74 days ago

Everyone must have caught rfk-musk style autism. Maga snowflakes need this daily reminder.

crystaljordan.bsky.social•85 days ago

This is delightful.

ann-t-social.bsky.social•75 days ago

I love that for him.

caseykarp.com•85 days ago

We play a game based on the old "Slug Bug" standby: First to shout "Schmuck Truck!" gets the right to punch the truck's driver.

martinthemess.bsky.social•85 days ago

In our family, we'd long since added Mini Coopers (Pinch Mini!) and Chrysler PT Cruisers (Kick Cruiser!) to our Punch Buggy/Slug Bug games, but we've been trying to think of a good Cybertruck addition. Schmuck Truck sounds like the new front-runner.

durangotang.bsky.social•75 days ago

Cuck Truck or simply Dumpster! work well too.

bhny.bsky.social•75 days ago

Deplorean

debbiefearon.medsky.social•75 days ago

I’ve seen SwastiCar used too.

bonanzacat.bsky.social•75 days ago

Also seen used:
Incelcamino
Wankpanzer

martinthemess.bsky.social•75 days ago

With Slugbug/Punchbuggy, the idea is to combine the name of a distinctive-looking car with a violent but harmless action that the first person to see the car gets to do to whoever they're playing against. As it's usually young siblings, I don't think taking a Dump on your brother is a good idea.

badatstuff.bsky.social•75 days ago

This is why it's bittersweet that we'll likely never see one in the wild here in Ireland. Grateful for those pesky EU safety regs designed to keep people safe, but I'll never get to rip the piss in person.

fullmetal.bzky.team•74 days ago

I've seen TWO here in (my area) in NYC, they might be the same one
And YES, HOLY FUCK THEY REALLY DO LOOK *SO* STUPID in person, that would be the only reason I would ever recommend seeing one to anybody 🤣

projectend.bsky.social•75 days ago

🫡✊

emadswashere.bsky.social•75 days ago

I prefer thumbs down to middle finger for cybertrucks because they seem to take it more personally 😎

troyliss.bsky.social•75 days ago

The sad disappointment hurts them much more than rage would.

toriglass.bsky.social•85 days ago

big fan of the thumbs down myself. 😆

jaydubbelu.bsky.social•75 days ago

My go to move when I see a Deplorean™️.

fendersonia.bsky.social•85 days ago

Sometimes it's great to be a passenger because you can do both.

bluememe.bsky.social•75 days ago

Flipping the bird is both impolite and non-specific.

We should be holding our thumb and index finger 3 inches apart at them.

If they choose to infer that it is a comment on an anatomical inadequacy for which the Cybertruck somehow compensates, that’s on them.

steenyswank.bsky.social•75 days ago

Still waiting for that emoji, aren't we?

justkelly.bsky.social•75 days ago

You mean this one? 🤏🏼

steenyswank.bsky.social•75 days ago

omg, it's here! Thank you! I bet it's on my phone, which I don't use much, but not on this here clunky desktop. Off to investigate. Thank you again!

steenyswank.bsky.social•75 days ago

There it is!🤏🤏🤏

bluememe.bsky.social•75 days ago

Should be made into a sticker, in colors that show up well against brushed stainless steel.

steenyswank.bsky.social•75 days ago

And I also wouldn't mind a fridge magnet.

infinite-loopy.bsky.social•75 days ago

There are... other possible meanings...

bluememe.bsky.social•75 days ago

rasolis.bsky.social•75 days ago

That would be a huge micropenis and I don’t want to peddle in misinformation

jginsburg.bsky.social•85 days ago

He could just torch the truck and collect the insurance money, assuming anyone is ignorant enough to insure the damn thing

polyparadigm.bsky.social•85 days ago

Only Tesla is, and they’d collect footage of the arson

mikeyblair.bsky.social•75 days ago

This news makes me feel really good. I'm out here doing my part, but had no idea if these middle fingers were landing. Positive reinforcement

beefhusker84.bsky.social•75 days ago

And that's just by his ex-wife and kids.

magimura.bsky.social•75 days ago

thank you for this uplifting human interest story

reedeeda.bsky.social•75 days ago

choconibbles.bsky.social•68 days ago

Nobody likes his Swastikar?

johnd73.bsky.social•75 days ago

This makes me feel so many different feelings right now.

All of them goooooood 😏

bulldrek.bsky.social•75 days ago

scruffyscruffs.bsky.social•75 days ago

I like the implication that it's even bad at being a urinal.

eryq.bsky.social•75 days ago

Not enough cargo capacity.

5 Nazis up front not enough for you?

I hear that cab only leaks a LITTLE BIT

rooneg.bsky.social•75 days ago

I love everything about this.

fatherofgirls.bsky.social•75 days ago

That is a burn that may never heal.

thisbethlife.bsky.social•75 days ago

Tell him he can drive it anywhere and it will get the same response.

njuanto.bsky.social•74 days ago

My brother had a similar response to seeing a Cybertruck a couple months ago:

mrdickpound69.bsky.social•73 days ago

Good. Cyberсuсks don’t deserve peace.

darknato.bsky.social•75 days ago

Lol I had to go downtown today and saw a Cybertruck in the wild. I flipped him off too. This is a joyous coincidence.

shwillis.bsky.social•75 days ago

I got some fire works and camping fuel id be willing to sell him for a good price.

smurfsm00.bsky.social•85 days ago

Love this for him

maximumeffort433.bsky.social•75 days ago

The Cybertruck was already an ugly, stupid car even before Elon Musk took his mask off, scraped the skin off his face and showed us his skull, now the Cybertruck is uglier.
