Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

His Cybertruck still drives?

The trucks are cool to a point. I like the way they look, but they were built so poorly that they must be a nightmare to own, and nowhere near worth the price.

You genuinely like the way they look? I'm not trying to poke fun here I am legitimately curious, what is it you like about the aesthetics? I don't see the appeal.

Yes, but I think it's mostly due to my affinity for Brutalism, which the Cybertruck adheres to at an absurd degree. Most people nowadays don't seem to like Brutalism either, except for architects. The real problem is that some forms of Brutalism, like most modern office buildings, are way too simplistic. Like, Brutalism is inherently simple, but mere rectangles are not design.

Fair enough. I'm glad that people have different perspectives than me so I enjoy hearing about them. It is certainly a unique vehicle and there is something slightly charming about being bold in your design choices.
