- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

On one hand I'm happy they aren't for sale here. But on the other hand I am perversely curious about seeing the abomination up close.
It truly is a magical experience when you first see one in person. Despite how they look when photographed, somehow cameras make them appear less absurd than they actually are. It's just so large, so ridiculous, it doesn't seem like it should be real—and yet it is. The first time I saw one in a parking lot, I genuinely couldn't stop laughing and had to reign it in, despite seeing them online a hundred times before then.
That was my reaction, pure mirth. Like how ridiculous does someone look behind the wheel of that thing.
I saw one of the silver ones yesterday (I saw one with a black wrap on it at a distance once), and there's no preparing yourself from pictures how damned ugly it is.
The pewter or whatever that brown color is called it even worse.
