Hey, German here. What the f*** are Americans doing at the other side of the Atlantic? Some of you already know this monstrosity. I did’nt. This is a Ford F650 Truck and when I stepped out of my Youtube Bubble I realized, it was marketed as the “biggest, baddest Truck on the road” for the everyday American. Are you guys serious?! Is the end goal really to drive a Monster Truck to McDs to get a McFlurry? Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil, bombing nations to rubble. And all, for this bullshit? The excess, waste and decadence is mind boggling to me and people on Reddit seriously justifying this by “you know dude I’m 6,4ft. I don’t fit in any other vehicle” makes me go up the wall.
See, the difference between this lemmy fuckcars, and the subreddit, is that, on the subreddit, I would get plenty of people who fell for the bait completely. On this lemmy, most of the top posts are people specifically refuting the bait. Of course, this does nothing to disincentivize the behavior, and increases the engagement of the post, compared to other, better posts, but it’s still nice that the userbase could recognize the problems with this rather than just kind of buying in mindlessly because it seemed to agree with their political in group.
