Only the Most Secure of Men Purchase the Swastidumpster

That's most truck owners. Come at me.

insecurity of tech workers

That's the part that kinda boggles my mind. You'd think that engineers and hackers would be exactly the types who would be inclined towards DIY. I know I am, and I feel like that's pretty common among the sorts of people who went into tech because they had a passion for it.

I suspect all these insecure cybertruck owner types are the dudebro assholes who are only in it for the money and are shitty at their job anyway because they don't care.

I don’t feel bad for them. I put sticky notes on the window that say “stupid.”

I agree with the post. I'd say most issues can be followed back to fragile masculinity. Masculinity specifically for historic reasons.

I do pity those so devoid of self-esteem. I hate the fact they're manipulable sheep that vote, but I understand where it's coming from. I'm sad for them that they'll never find contentment where they're looking for it.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this isn't unique to just the dumpster truck owners.

I've seen people try to drive away with a couch mounted vertically in the passenger seat of a convertible (with no straps or rope of any kind).

I lost track of how many people roped their doors shut through the windows on their vehicles while strapping a 75 inch TV down to the roof of their Honda CRV.

The general population has an unbelievably poor understanding of physics and honestly I think we need to let more people die due to darwinism again. Saving the village idiot with modern medical standards has really just allowed them to get older and come up with even worse ideas. Sometimes they procreate and spawn in some new physics challenged shitlings that will be finding their way into your local ER with some self inflicted stupidity any day now.

I love that there are before and after photos. Someone saw that, knew exactly how it would end, and instead of telling the guy, took a picture, then waited in the parking lot for the inevitable results. 💀

the head scratch!

Never heard of a rachet straps and red rag.

Don’t get me wrong, I hate the cyber truck, but this is the owners fault. That roof thing slides back so he could have had them in at an angle where they wouldn’t have slid out.

I mean there’s an example of what to do parked right next to him 😆

The insecure d-bags buying these "trucks" are the same people who were hardcore anti-EV not that long ago, right?

Wasn't that group calling Obama all kinds of evil things simply because of the mandate to end combustion engines by like 2035?

It’s really just a techy spin on how a lot of car brands are marketed to insecure guys. Read the marketing strategy for big trucks or jeeps, and it confirms they are 100% aware that their marketing is aiming for weak men insecure in their masculinity. Pathetic.

At least if they’d bought a real truck, they might’ve been able to haul something with it.

"Pro parking"? Is that a subscription parking space or something else?

I can just picture this in a turn on the road wiping out a half dozen kids on e-bikes and killing someone easily.

If they'd bought a beater car and asked their dad to help troubleshoot it, they'd actually learn something about the field they're insecure about.

You’d think a tech worker would at least have a basic understanding of physics

"brittle from the rejection of their own softness"

They just summed up marketing. Buy your way into who you want to be

I dunno, I'm into tech and I wouldn't touch something that poorly designed.

This makes me remember Sweden in the nineties, everh 40yo man and their fucking grandmother just had to buy a ... Harley Davidson motorcycle!

I mean if you want an anchor to your boat there are way cheaper ones. :-)

The thing was that those people wanted to be a rebel so hard, they shelled out astronomical amounts on that crappy bike (one story out of many; my lil bro got one in like 2010 and it broke down so much it was just comical, once he got it to this magic known harley mechanic who did a crazy overhaul, it broke down on the way home.).

So they was working in front of a computer all day, or serving people or whatever, and they were not rebels (!) but Harley Davidson could fix that. Like the cybertruck makes you a craftsman. Just like that.

Sweden was having more harley davidson motorcycles per capita than any other country in the world at that time. Guess insecurity sells.

/Story off

Just pay a contractor too much money to teach you such skills? It's not like they lack the money to do so... unless they spent it all on a truck

I refuse to believe that real people paid for this. These guys must just be actors acting out midlife crises to convince us that the cyberttruck is real.

Hmm, so it's a conflict between having a sigma right-wing male ideal and not living up to it?

I'm not even by any accounts manly, and arguably a techie type, but I've been able to carry bookcases on top of my sedan, and boards sticking out the back trunk, using just rope, bungees, or Ikea twine, multiple times without any issue. Driving down highways even.

You don't need to be hoo-rah to secure a damn load, you just have to brain

Yes, it's basically like wearing a t-shirt with a print of some subculture, eg some band, or physical work reference, or racism, etc - what ppl want to be associated with in public, but have to fake it (real ones don't need no advertising).

Except it's not just a shirt & they are very vocal about it.

Basically this... https://youtu.be/gW5WLexsimU

who could have seen that coming, except, well, everyone

“Outside their domain of experience”

Maybe more like nobody is around them to tell them that a) it’s not going to work, b) it’s a bad idea, c) nobody to dump the idea on to do the actual work of solving the problem that the originator can then take credit for or blame when it doesn’t work.

They could have at least gotten a proper electric pickup
