It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

This was already tested with a carrot and the nightmare truck cut the carrot clean in half. This moron had to try it for himself lol!

[–] buttwater@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago

That is included in this video. Tesla released a "safety update" to the software, supposedly to fix the guillotine, and he put his finger on the line to test it

No Musk invented it my-hero

[–] buh@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

these are the only people who can hurt themselves with a car that isn't moving

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

Plenty of people manage to get hurt by teslas when they're not moving (mostly due to lithium fires)

Bro came this close to having to change the gears on the screen with his severed finger like a stylus 💀

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Bro

You misspelled "Hero".

It’s giving finger guillotine

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago (4 children)

yo weren't all these recalled recently due to a jamming accelerator pedal or something

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

The fix is just drilling a wood screw through the plastic to secure it in place, apparently Tesla has been sending people to Cybertruck owner meetups in order to do it and reduce their liability, lmao.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Yeah the pedal falls off and causes it to jam. Poorly made bazingamobile junk.

[–] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

In the process we learned they'd only sold like 1500 by the time of the recall.

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Thelma and Louise reboot but the suicide is an accident because their Cybertruck pedal jammed causing them to plunge into a cliff

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's interesting how prior to Elon Musk becoming a household name and the 2020 crypto boom, I never really saw a concentration of stupid people like this. Like these people would’ve been on EPIC FAIL COMPILATION #50 back in like 2012. I’m genuinely baffled. Muskrats keep talking about how “the west is fallen” but they are normalizing child-like obsession and “””curiosity””” and loyalty. Even back in the early 2000s, Americans were hysterical over Iraq, but Musk fans live in a bubble of peace and wealth and happily display their ignorance. It’s fascinating.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Dear Mr. Musk, sir,

I have lost my finger in a mishap with your Cybertruck. I buried the digit in our backyard in a ultra-mini Cybertruck-themed casket with our youngest daughter doing a three-volley salute on a cap gun. Despite the pain and the loss of a finger - I am still a huge fan of you, Telsa, and SpaceX. Human beings will be numbering in the tens of millions on Mars by the end of the century. Everyone on Earth should look forward to this and appreciate you and your monument efforts to make this happen.

Before I go I would be amiss if I didn't mention an issue that does understandably bother me. I would appreciate it if you improved safety features on the Cybertruck.

Thank you very, very much,
Mike Mark

Can we convert cybertrucks into guillotines in the revolution?

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're almost as portable, too!

[–] Magician@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Too bad they're more dangerous than regular guillotines.

[–] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

The ultimate question post revolution: Is is more beneficial to use them as a guillotine and risk the motor breaking before the 3rd billionaire, or just stuffing it full of them?

[–] rio@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

You are sentenced to self driving in LA. The windows cannot be opened when you inevitably crash into oncoming traffic.

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I saw one on the road the other day and they just don't look like a real car.

[–] Des@hexbear.net 45 points 1 year ago (3 children)

you looked too quickly and the car just failed to render

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the simulation devs are lazy because of woke

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

the state of this pop-in smh

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

I saw it approach me from the rear view mirror and was like wtf?

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Drove out to sign papers for a customer to sell their Toyota and I saw that they had a Cybertruck in the driveway to replace it

Literally cringed on seeing it

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oof. That guy is gonna regret that soon.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

They had another new Toyota too so at least they won't be stuck with it

But man are they gonna take a loss

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I live in kind of a touristy mountainy area in California, I've seen a bunch. Makes me cringe seeing them come up a narrow windy road with the sheer cliff on one side knowing that their vehicle's controls are notoriously untrustworthy. Also we don't have a supercharger so they have to drive an hour and a half to the nearest city to get to one, hopefully they planned that far ahead!

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That depends on what your definition of "crushes" is

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That bone is at least fractured to say nothing of the flexor tendons and ligaments, hate to see what happens once the adrenaline runs out, crush injuries are deceptive cause they're not always bloody

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is defamation and I'll see you in court

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

They're my children now. They will work on the mohole drilling platforms on mars.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Masterful gambit sir! Using the up-yours-woke-moralists of defining everything subjectively line of argumentation is truly a sign of your intellect!

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

The wokes keep changing definitions for everything. Who knows what they mean when they say “unsafe” and “crushes”. For all we know, they could be referring to their tiktoks!

[–] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Okay, real talk, he says it auto-opened after detecting resistance

What are the odds you can jam something in there and pry or inflate it and it will just open for you? With any other car I'd say no way they made that rookie of a mistake but.... maybe? are these things free lootboxes lmao

[–] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe but only if it wasn’t latched?

[–] bleepbloopbop@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

depends how dumb the software is but in all likelihood this is the right answer yeah

0:42 Yeesh. I paused it there to type this. Somebody show this motherfucker the hand scene in Blood Simple.

If you haven't seen the movie - watch it instead of watching this scene that's a spoiler. It's great.
