I hardly think there's sufficient evidence to support that allegation😅

;Let's not get crazy, now 💅

This is the way

All my vehicles have been non-binary.

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But modern cars have computers in them.

None. It's a car.

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago

Lots of tightwad-ass responses in here. What a bummer. Its a silly question that should have silly responses, folks. Lighten up.

For some reason, all my cars have received female gendered references. I think its that way for a lot of folks. I have a feeling some movie or show popularized the concept at some point and it just took off from there. Maybe it was westerns with how riders talk to their horses and stuff? I don't know. Sounds like an interesting rabbit hole though.

[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 5 points 7 months ago

I have never gotten the point or the fun in naming or gendering inanimate objects.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 months ago

Her name is Pellefant.

Chip (my car) is a boy, but he is not a "dude".

Non existent.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 7 months ago

it's 2024, chicks can also be dudes

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 4 points 7 months ago

I use the inanimate verb for being, so I'm going to go with neither

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 7 months ago

Some have been simply awesome cars, some girls, some boys.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I call mine “baby girl” because I know it’s fucking corny. I’ve never been into referring to cars as people, but I guess I’m a hypocrite now.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I really struggled with the ultimate phrasing and baby girl my preliminary second choice for the female side. I feel like gendering their car is more a guy thing but I could be wrong and women personify their cars sometimes too

Chick, I call my 2013 Tundra "La Gordi", short for "la gordita"

[–] arality@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago

Rhonda, cuz she's thicc.

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago

I don't have a car, but my bike uses she/her pronouns.

[–] TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

My segway ninebot scooter was a man (may he rest in peace), my niu kqi3 max is a woman. I miss my ninebot, he was so portable and lightweight for carrying up train station stairs. Also nobody wanted him since he was outdated and an unpopular model (e22) and was safe from being stolen. While my niu is much more powerful, faster, and lasts longer, she's like 2x heavier and attracts would-be thieves if I didn't app lock AND use a chain lock. I was able to secure the ninebot with a cheap amazon basics lock, nobody wanted him but me!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Two cars ago, clearly a dude. Petey.

Not sure on the last one or my current one.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Does it have a hook? Then it's a boy, else, it's a girl. My current cars are Embla and Herman. Previous ones were Bob, Betty and Alfred.

[–] clockwork_octopus@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Boy, his name is Fynn. Last one was a girl (Ingrid), the one before that was non-binary, before that was a girl (Stella), before that was non-binary, before that was a boy. I’m probably missing a few though.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How have you had so many cars lmao

[–] clockwork_octopus@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’m old, I guess. And these are just the cars that I’ve considered as mine. I’ve owned more, lol

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)
