Seems pretty steep...

Pickup trucks can be great, but a huge amount of the shit they're making now shouldn't even qualify as a real pickup anymore. They've gone from being super practical and utilitarian to just fucking ridiculous peacocking bullshit.

A fucking Honda Fit (a subcompact hatchback) hauls more volume than a lot of SUVs/"trucks" these days.

@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Never driven a Prius, but I have driven a couple Fits before and while they're not super fast, they're surprisingly fun to drive on twisty roads. Not as fun as my manual Subie, but nobody's perfect.

Texas governor pardons man who killed Black Lives Matter protester in 2020 ( www.theguardian.com )

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas issued a full pardon on Thursday to a former US army sergeant convicted of murder for fatally shooting an armed demonstrator in 2020 during nationwide protests against police violence and racial injustice....

Gosh, the same guy who literally boobytrapped the the Rio Grande with razor wire and also wanted to gun down immigrants? Shocking.

Applesauce is a totally acceptable replacement for oil right?

_haha_oh_wow_ ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Wait, really? I was joking, that seems like it would not do any of the things that something like oil or butter would do when baking something.

_haha_oh_wow_ ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

It was sarcastic/joking, but wow I had no idea! They seem so dissimilar, I never would've thought that would work. Didn't think I'd learn this much about baking today lol, thanks!

I keep seeing this hipster dog everywhere, does this mean handlebar mustaches and bragging about listening to bands nobody's heard of are making a comeback?

Yeah, plus you don't want your dog sleeping with underage girls.

Can't say I agree. For example, if someone hits you with their car? It's ok to scratch it.

Edit: The downvotes on this are fucking unreal, imagine being upset that the person you just mowed over scratched your car. Fuck right off with that bullshit.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,

People can be shitty, but I still find it amusing that it's so ugly and stupid it provokes people into a rage.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, "super practical" seems like very curious way to describe a Cybertruck but glad you and your boss like it I guess.

Should've bought a bicycle lol, there's no better way to get around town if you ask me.

I take it you haven't heard about the doors cutting people up? Yeah, that's a thing.

I can't see anyone who truly dislikes attention buying such an outlandish, hideous parody of a truck.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I'd be a little surprised if they even lasted 5-10 years without a crazy amount of money spent on keeping it running, they seem to rust or corrode if you so much as look at them wrong (never mind all the engineering/design disasters that went into this ridiculous thing).

_haha_oh_wow_ OP , (edited )
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

You are hilariously wrong on both counts, but do go on about this ludicrous, overpriced, poorly designed piece of shit being practical.

Tesla did show a lot of promise at first, but Musk has been running it into the ground trying to chase short term profits - it's objectively harmful to the company and their employees.

I think you're just defending it blindly because you're another ridiculous Musk fanboy, it is an objectively shitty truck. You can disagree and argue all you want, but that doesn't change anything - the truck is still an overpriced piece of shit.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Given all the problems they've had so far, the trucks may well end up lighting themselves on fire.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP , (edited )
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

You don't have to tell me that, I'm an American lol. I still ride anyways but there's a camera rolling every time I ride these days so if someone hits me or attacks me, that's going to become a big problem for them.

I started wearing one after an obese dipshit in a lifted truck started to act like he was going to attack me after cutting me off and calling me homophobic slurs (you know because riding a bike means you love dick I guess). They opened the door and climbed out but then got right back in and took off like a bat out of hell as soon as it was apparent that I wasn't going to run away or cower (probably for the best, I never ride unarmed and can fight reasonably well, plus there's the regular cardio and strength training cycling provides).

As soon as I hopped off my bike, he looked like he was going to shit his pants lol, pretty certain he was expecting me to try and ride away. It's amazing how a camera has almost completely eliminated people doing dumb shit - as soon as they see the camera, they behave. Doesn't help with negligent drivers, but it's still made a huge difference with belligerent drivers.

Anyone reading this that hates cyclists should think hard about this before they decide to try and attack one of us: You don't know who is on that bike or what they are capable of, so fuck with them at your own peril and don't forget that there are cameras everywhere these days, even if you might not notice them.

IDK, some of their sedans don't really look that bad IMO but this thing is a huge departure from previous designs.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's not super common (at least in my experience) but it still happens way more often than it should.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I like my ebike, but I like my bicycle even more. I can't quite place my finger on why, but it's probably because my bicycle is a pretty decent hardtail and my ebike is a cheap drop-shipped folding fatbike that I use more for heavier hauls or recovery days. I'd probably change my opinion if I had something like a Specialized Turbo lol.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP ,

It's prone to a lot of things apparently, more to follow I'm sure.

@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Best they can do is a bike that's as expensive as a car probably, it may or may not actually be a good bike.

These are not really bellbottoms, the whole leg is big.

_haha_oh_wow_ ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, these are not bellbottoms. They're just pants with huge legs, there were shorts like that too. It was a fad in the late 90s

Kinda sounds like my dream bike (minus the adapter, which is apparently dumb).

I've thought about suspension seatposts before but they seemed kinda gimmicky. What do you have for yours and how long have you had it?

_haha_oh_wow_ ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Fucking ridiculous, and they still haven't fixed it!

_haha_oh_wow_ ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

Nobody should have to do that and it's fucked up that they won't actually fix the problem.

_haha_oh_wow_ OP Mod ,
@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

I believe that's correct. 250w could be OK with a good motor on a mid drive, but as a hub, yeah, that's not going to have a great time with hills.
