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

You should have to prove you have commercial uses before you can buy a truck like that. Average Joe shit heads that just want a big truck to keep their ego propped up should be told to get therapy and a sedan.

Under communism car dealerships will mostly be converted to mental health care facilities to assist with the transition of car-guys and truck-chuds out of their illness.

There's no better way to tell people you don't actually do physical labor than a 4' bed.

A minivan with the back row of seats removed is a superior work vehicle to this thing in every imagineble way.

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or a station wagon… both alternatives you don’t have to lift as high to get stuff in the back either.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You're talking to a guy with a kiddie pool full of sand in the back of his Subaru outback to sand icy driveways.

Plus whatever your carrying isn't exposed to the elements so the sand isn't frozen solid when you need it.

You don't spend $130k on a workhorse you spend $130k when you want a luxury vehicle that's worse in every way than an actual luxury vehicle but you get to keep telling yourself you're really working class.

This is the perfect vehicle to call into a zoom meeting from a job site, never get out of the vehicle, and then go to the bar at 3pm.

I'm telling you, wealth is wasted on the wealthy.

They make all the good stuff super expensive with the idea that only the rich will enjoy it: like college, walkable cities, healthcare, vacations, art, learning artistic skills, decent fashion, healthy food, gyms, culture, etc....and they end up getting high off their own supply of proleslop and do shit like this in order to make themselves look poor.

The rich are intelligent enough to recognize good taste and make it expensive....but why do they make this country so fucking ugly and live in the ugly-ass, car-dependent boonies?

[–] jonne 21 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure this guy isn't wealthy and is up to his eyeballs in debt to pay for this monstrosity.

[–] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Easy answer; racism.

Critical support

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago

It'd be uncritical support if they didn't go there to talk about how lazy minorities are taking everybody's money (they're still taking 75% of what they're charging the client for their employees labor)

[–] tryagain@lemmy.ml 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's even worse than that. GM, Dodge and Ford don't officially sell their full size trucks in Australia. There's a company in Brisbane that charges an arm and a leg to import and do right-hand-drive conversions on base level trim trucks that an average dumb fuck in the US can afford but here they're sPeCiAL and, of course, they don't fit anywhere. I hope this cunt gets keyed everywhere he parks.

1970s Toyota:

  • used by 5 generations of insurgents on every side of a conflict
  • taken apart and put back together for 20 years now - truck of thesus
  • carries tens of thousands of pounds of explosions, ammo, and anti air guns
  • shot at 5 million times, air struck, blown up by an IED - only needs a new tire

2024 Chevy Silverado Bulge XXXL Extreme Traversal Man Edition:

  • risks death just to look at screen to change AC
  • lost keys, can’t start car
  • repairs cost 5 months of wages
  • used to transport groceries and 20 pounds of tools (no other car can do this!)
  • medical bills increase from high blood pressure every time I see a scratch on the door
  • used by insurgents in the War Against Pedestrians

i'm a pretty chill bro, and by that i mean i have legendary non-reactive dissembling abilities. people who straddle spaces or otherwise park like assholes make me see red. i don't even mean sloppy, because shit happens and people get in a rush. but impeding others' ability to use space.

when i get older and have handed out my last fuck, i am totally gonna carry ninja rocks and blow out the windows of people like this. the only solace i take is knowing how deeply emotional burger brains get about people fucking with their petroleum chariots.

Virgin Chevy Silverado 2500 HD versus the Chad 1994 Toyota Corolla

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 49 points 2 years ago

The corolla unironically has transported more stuff over rougher terrain.

I drove a pos Toyota for a while in my 20s and would cherish the opportunity to do this. If some clown was crossed into the adjacent space and I could still fit in the line I’d get in there as tight as I could, preferably to the drivers side. I’d crawl over and get out on the other side of the car. One time I went out the sunroof lol

That one was really funny. There were no spaces left in the lot and this super fancy sports car had taken two, one space over from a massive bush. I scraped the shit out of that bush and parked 2” from their driver side door

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 48 points 2 years ago

Pickup trucks should cost, at most, 13k and the heater should be an option. Cmv

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

thinking-about-it the lil flourish abt the doors almost makes you think it was the truck guy posting. but surely it must be the owner of the white car making good bait.

Its gotta be bait

but yet

[–] HighOnCopium@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

this has to be a bit... right? making fun of the way the truck's parked??? anakin-padme-2

[–] ColonelKataffy@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

that was my feeling

[–] Sphere@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

And they backed into that tiny parking space too, bravo!

How does this shithead not realize that parking like that is practically begging those of us who drive older cars to park right next to them?

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Entitlement mentality like this reminds me that people fell asleep in driving school when they were taught to "share the road". Parking lots become warzones with boater kulaks opening fire on each other over a spot 5 feet closer to the Walmart exit.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

It's gotten so bad people are unironically doing arms races to drive the vehicle that's the most dangerous to other people.

Because these people are incapable of conceptualizing the world as anything other than a zero sum game.

You seem to have the benefit of not having to spend time around people who think overpaying for a shitty truck by $30k makes them the most important person in town.

Just go to your local Applebee's at 430 if you wanna see this in real life.

Please tell me this is a joke. Come on, I'm waiting. If not, I'll laugh anyways because he spent 130k on what amounts to a fashion accessory!

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In anything remotely resembling a civilised country this is a very efficient way of earning yourself a parking ticket.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

keyed door, slashed tires, smashed side mirror

Totally unrelated, but make sure you never get brake fluid on your car panels, it literally just melts the paint right off.
