    “I NEED TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE I CAN’T TAKE A LOAD OF TWO BY FOURS ON A BIKE!!!”

    *buys car*

    *does shit like this*

    It’s the pickup, a car designed to carry shit, that is struggling to carry shit that does it for me. Do American DIY shops not do Home Delivery?

        If you’re buying $1000 worth of lumber $50 to ensure it gets home undamaged (and without damaging your car) is cheap. I’m pretty sure you can also elect to cut the boards in half to better fit them in a smaller vehicle.

        50 bucks is cheap compared to destroying the bed of your truck, and spending thousands on material

        You’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth. If the truck’s absurd fake crunch isn’t obvious enough for people at least recognize the car behind it blending into the clip art quality wood layer.

            This helped a lot, what I thought was the blending of the car behind especially. Thanks for correcting me

              I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!

              Yeah, 3 out of 4 AI generated fodder and the 4th is using some weird downscale that manages to also give off AI vibes… I can understand the impression myself…

                Nope the others aren’t AI generated either. Same weird filter on all of them to make it feel that way. Seriously don’t know why or how they did it.

                  Maybe they used an AI service to upscale the otherwise small res picture instead of looking for the original ones.

          Absurd fake crunch? Dude the bed is meant to support the weight you aren’t supposed to put a pallet on the bare aluminum frame like that. It’s exactly how it crunches when people put heavy things across the top of their bed like that.
          Trucks aren’t magical. They still have limits.

            Ya’ll are right, I know how beds work but that original picture is so crunchy it looks fake without having seen the higher res image that _bcron posted. The post was funny but that particular shot just stood out funny to me, glad to be corrected

              I have no idea how they managed to make the photo look AI generated with compression and it now has me thinking it’s literally gonna be a style to make real photos look like that, like someone predicted at the start of the AI generated movement.

            I think it was more how weird the downscale looked for that one, along with being posted next to AI generated ones.

              I still wonder if it was purposefully done to make them look AI generated cause I have compressed photos to 144p and they don’t look that warped and fluid. Like they fed it backwards through an AI generator.

              P.S. pretty sure they are all real. Seen these photos on reddit years ago.
