A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.
They’re all masochists. I’ve never seen a group that wants to be oppressed more than conservatives. Their lives revolve around bullshit perceived aggrievement.
Christian conservatives are the worst of them all. Their entire society is steeped in their religion; it’s literally unavoidable, despite the first amendment being very clear. If the US has a culture, it would heavily overlap with Christianity.
And yet they have convinced themselves that they are being oppressed. Because someone dared to challenge their obviously unconstitutional bullshit. It’s so pathetic.
My Catholic in-laws voted for Trump in 2020 because Biden, a Catholic, was going to outlaw catholicism.
There’s no hope for these people.
…he voted for the people who dont recognise the head of his religion?! As a former catholic myself, wow, he is a stupid one, hope the one person threw which they are your inlaws isnt as bright as them
You mean the woke pope? Apologies for inflicting an ai summary upon you but it does sum it up quite well. A lot of catholics really don’t like Francis.
Like imagine hearing or reading something so patently absurd, and taking it at face value without bothering to check if there is any truth to it. Brain rot.
It’s just their projection taking another form: they know that they want to “outlaw” (or oppress or whatever) the other religions and minorities, so in their mind, the Democrats must be planning to do the exact same thing to them.
That is as deep as it ever gets with these people.
The modern Christian Establishment has a great deal in common with the United States itself. There’s tons of writing and chatter about being based on principles of personal freedom and responsibility, taking care of one another, etc. while in real life the ones steering those ships will laugh you out of the room if you suggest they actually try to live and treat folks anything like their texts say they should.
There are, of course, genuinely good Christian and American individuals out there, but they are clearly not the ones in control of their institutions; the collective human organizations which serve to represent them are all about keeping up sparkly appearances and telling nice stories while standing firmly on the necks of anyone they deem too different from themselves.
Those people are good in spite of their religion.
Christianity takes all of the best aspects of humanity, and convinces people that they require some sort of supernatural force to be or do those things.
Happy Holidays has entered the chat.
A lot of core concepts in Christianity are incompatible with being white in America. It’s a religion for the oppressed being practiced by the oppressors. They’re the Pharisees. It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to figure out how to see themselves as the lepers and the Jews.
Fancy way to call people stupid
It’s a unique kind of stupid that deserves recognition.
Flipping off*. You can flick off boogers, but you flip the bird.
I like this “throwing slices of American cheese” at Cybertrucks. It’s barely even food, so it’s not really that wasteful. I’m sure the synthetic oilly shit has a wonderful reaction with that unprotected stainless steel. It’s also fucking hilarious - “hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”
“hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”
This had me chuckling.
Just wanted to say that the hate on American cheese is unjustified. American cheese is just cheddar that has been heated to 170f (iirc) for long enough to kill bacteria and make it shelf-stable. They add an emulsifier (again, iirc) to help it bind better and have a more pleasant texture.
All other criticisms of America are valid, but the cheese doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.
Check out Nile Red on Nebula, (or YT if that’s your bag). He makes American Cheese from the ground cheddar up and you can watch. Having done so, I agree with you.
pleasant texture
I’d go with “rubbery”.
“Pleasant” in the context of what it would be otherwise. My understanding is that, without the emulsifier, it would be crumbly and kinda chalky, and not hold a form very well.
Literally this is why it gets hate. It’s not remotely Cheddar. Real Cheddar is deliberately none of these things. I love a crunchy cheese crystal and a crumbly organic texture. To each their own, but it’s not Cheddar, barely cheese. I’d have it in a burger, but only because so few places will melt real cheese properly. Brie is pretty good in a burger. Is Somerset Brie really Brie? Time for a Frenchman to tell me to gtfo…
I didn’t say it was cheddar. I said it was made from cheddar. It’s decidedly not cheddar, which is why it’s not called “cheddar”.
gtfo.
If by ‘more pleasant texture’ you mean ‘no texture whatsoever’ then yes, I suppose so.
IMHO, it has three purposes:
- a grilled cheese on cheap white bread with enough butter to guarantee an acid reflux episode
- melted on Chef Boyardee ravioli
- on a slice of apple pie
If your Kraft singles are too precious, I think the Dollar Tree brands stray even further from gods light.
wtf would you put that on apple pie? Pie deserves a nice sharp white cheddar
Wait wtf you put American cheese on your apple pie?!?
Are you from the US? I’ve never heard of that, and honestly I’m horrified and intrigued
I think it might be an “older people in the south” thing. (Like all boomers and older I’ve talked to about it know about it, usually not younger) I worked at a diner for a bit, and it would be Silent Generation types that would order it.
It’s pretty good, but real cheddar would be better. It’s that similar salty/sweet combo that makes French fries and a McFlurry better than sex.
i heard of it as kid on some cooking show on PBS in the 90s. I thought it was super weird, but my mom had heard of it. Except it was cheddar cheese, not american. I tried it and thought it was pretty good, so i bring it up when people talk about apple pie. it never fails to weird them out if they’ve never tried it!
I wonder if one of the problems is your comparison of American cheese to what I’m guessing might be American cheddar. I say this because most (and I know there are some niche outliers) American cheddars are pretty awful. It tastes processed, rubbery and bland.
When I, a Brit, lived in the USA for 4 yrs I quickly learned the only good cheddar was the NZ or UK stuff. I say this as someone who has gone through at least 1-3 blocks of various British cheddars a week for almost 40 yrs.
I wonder if you have had imported (not just branded as “English cheddar” before for example? It might blow your mind… but also if American cheddar is all you have know it might not taste all that good - we all have our tastes shaped by our upbringing.
Honestly if you ever tasted anything else than cheddar and mozzarella, you know that americans cheese is something else. I’m willing to bet you could leave some slices in a forest and no animal would touch it.
American Cheese is not actually cheese. It is cheese food product. Even deli American cheese is not cheese.
Legally they can’t label it as cheese, but get anyway with cheese being part of the name.
Because it’s made out of cheese. Legally if you take something that is cheese and use it as an ingredient in another food, then it is no longer “cheese”, it is “cheese food”. The first ingredient is cheddar
Because it’s made out of cheese
The west mocks homeopathy but practices it with it’s own food.
All other criticisms of America
Processed cheese is only called “American cheese” by Americans.
The rest of the world doesn’t call it that, and it’s strange to see that some of you take it on as part of your national identity.
Your assuming a lot. I just like cheese.
Then why were you calling it a criticism of America?
That does not make sense.
They said that in the broader context of saying they don’t think American cheese deserves the hate it gets. It was qualifying their defense of American cheese by saying they aren’t just blindly defending any criticism of America but honestly like the cheese.
The latter is so they can kill them with a written record to aid their defense in court.
I’d call it premeditated, first degree murder, but I’m not on their jury so my opinion is irrelevant.
Cybertruck owners are huge fragile bitches, who’d have known?
they must be lacktoes intalarant.
DONT NEED any toes if the gas pedal is stuck.
I’m sure the synthetic oilly shit has a wonderful reaction with that unprotected stainless steel.
Not to mention that depending on force of the throw, and precise angle of the impact of cheese slice, the thing could start falling apart.
… which now I think about it, also explains the:
“hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”
Police : Buddy, you are lucky it wasn’t something much worse, this one time, a friggin acorn hit my car and I…
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fuck! I’d completely forgotten about that! What a fucking mongrel…
Post his picture everywhere so everyone knows who he is… and he never has to pay for his own drinks again, I suppose?
I see a Reichertruck sometimes on my commute and wonder if the driver gets shit for it. It just gets an angry glare from me.
i call it the cybercoffin, and the charcuterie on wheels.
Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.
I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I’ve driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I’ve ever driven. It’s just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.
It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.
I have a feeling that one of Elon’s kids were the inspiration. One told him while watching Blade Runner or something with them “Why does the future not look like the future?”, then he decided to cook, and people around him let him.
Elon doesn’t spend time with his children. They are meat shields to him.
Close, except it’s himself coming up with the idea. His kids are smarter than that
You forgot no safer than a ford pinto.
Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.
Oh, the Pinto, with it’s missing gas tank design, and later rebranding as the Ford Mustang after killing so many in a firey death. Gotta love the Pinto…
Edit: to be clear, I’d rather drive it than the boxy Prius wannabe.
Dude, what did the Prius do to you?
The boxy Prius wannabe? A lot. The real Prius, nothing. It’s a rather nice vehicle, actually (not the box).
the only way these people will learn [is] if they are shamed
Oh projection…
Oh projection…
I don’t think you really understand the words you use.
You’re saying shaming nazis is shameful?
edit jesus lemmy, you’re this stupid? there’s no-one blaming anyone of being anything. there’s nothing being “projected” here. I guess the downvoters feel rage for me pointing out that only pretentious morons use terms they dont’ actually understand to seem smarter than they are
Bro the quote is from a nazi car OWNER not the critics, the OWNER of nazi car is doing the projecting. You clearly dont understand that even after multiple people have pointed it out and thats why youre getting flamed. Lick your wounds and move on.

Wow what a prick. Is that simple enough for you?
Me being a prick doesn’t make me wrong though.
You should probably read the context around a comment before replying to it.
Why?
to keep from arguing the opposite of what you think you are
Removed by mod
Your comment was removed for violating rule 3.
Yeah, because it’s an entirely subjective rule. People are not “being excellent” to me, because I’m insistent that there was no projection.
Lots of “do your own research” and downvoting, but not a single person can actually verbalise the thing I’m asking. And me pointing that out makes people angry.
I’m not going to transcribe the article for you dude.
What you mean is that you don’t actually have an argument. You just pretend like you do.
These protestors in front of Tesla Service Centers need to see what a majority looks like…A couple hundred CTs surrounding them might do it.”
This guy thinks the majority means “whoever shows up with weapons”
He also thinks there are a couple hundred cybertrucks nearby. Thinking may not be his strong suit.
…A couple hundred CTs…
Gonna be hard to get the majority of them that have been sold to show up in one place at one time.
I was gonna make a joke about that in my original comment but I checked and was surprised to find that like 30k have been sold in the US
30k is abysmal for a car that had almost 2 million pre-orders. Clearly, there is huge demand for a vehicle like the Cybertruck, but not specifically the Cybertruck. A little hyperbole can be fun sometimes.
There was huge demand - if they had released what was promised for the promised price in the promised year it would have been the only EV truck, have capabilities beyond any EV car, while also being among the lowest price EVs.
I’m generally not interested in a truck but was tempted by the original announcement. However what we finally got was an easy “no”
Please correct me if I’m wrong but, hypothetically if someone were to vandalise a Tesla to the point of it being written off, could the owner request that the insurance company replace it with a non-tesla car?
American cheese used to cost more than eggs. Now cheese is 10x cheaper than eggs. New throwables just dropped.
Cheese frisbee!
Cybertruck? Oh, that boxy Prius. Gotcha.
The prius doesn’t deserve that.
Dude, the last version of the Prius I saw was a couple years ago on MKBHD, and it looked amazing and had a solar roof.
Fun fact: the solar roof debuted on the Prius for the 2010 model year, in 2009
Damn!
WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?
Lmfao
probably like cheap government cheese.
Blue cheese.
“cheese”
We only serve “cheese product” in the US of A.
Ask grimes, or any of the other sell-out women that have tasted it.
True, but they’ve also probably been paid enough to lie about it.
EDIT: Also, obligatory…
This is exactly like the support groups for parents who got NCed after refusing to get off their MAGA bullshit. Don’t buy a dumb car if you don’t want people to say you have a dumb car.
Throwing cheese at cars is my new favorite form of antifascist protest!
Dicks buying cybershits deserve some mockery.
