A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

      Oh projection…

      I don’t think you really understand the words you use.

      You’re saying shaming nazis is shameful?

      edit jesus lemmy, you’re this stupid? there’s no-one blaming anyone of being anything. there’s nothing being “projected” here. I guess the downvoters feel rage for me pointing out that only pretentious morons use terms they dont’ actually understand to seem smarter than they are

                  Oh so you don’t need to say what someone is projecting when making an argument about someone projecting?

                  Makes so much sense. Not at all a desperate measure by the thickheaded pseudointellectuel who said “omg lol that’s projection”

                  You saying that is the same as when Flat-Earthers cry “do your own research”.

    Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.

      I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I’ve driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I’ve ever driven. It’s just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.

      It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.

      Just wanted to say that the hate on American cheese is unjustified. American cheese is just cheddar that has been heated to 170f (iirc) for long enough to kill bacteria and make it shelf-stable. They add an emulsifier (again, iirc) to help it bind better and have a more pleasant texture.

      All other criticisms of America are valid, but the cheese doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.

          “Pleasant” in the context of what it would be otherwise. My understanding is that, without the emulsifier, it would be crumbly and kinda chalky, and not hold a form very well.

        You forgot to mention that it’s watered down. That’s what the emulsifier is for, to make the oils in the cheese mix well with the added water. The concept is fine - for some applications - if it were only that, but this is hyper-processed American food we’re talking about here. Gotta pad out that ingredient list:

        CHEDDAR CHEESE (CULTURED MILK, SALT, ENZYMES), SKIM MILK, MILKFAT, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, WHEY, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SALT, LACTIC ACID, MILK, SORBIC ACID AS A PRESERVATIVE, OLEORESIN PAPRIKA (COLOR), ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE, ANNATTO (COLOR).

        The above is the standard Kraft singles ingredient list, and at a glance is the shortest one I saw on their website.

        Literally this is why it gets hate. It’s not remotely Cheddar. Real Cheddar is deliberately none of these things. I love a crunchy cheese crystal and a crumbly organic texture. To each their own, but it’s not Cheddar, barely cheese. I’d have it in a burger, but only because so few places will melt real cheese properly. Brie is pretty good in a burger. Is Somerset Brie really Brie? Time for a Frenchman to tell me to gtfo…

          I didn’t say it was cheddar. I said it was made from cheddar. It’s decidedly not cheddar, which is why it’s not called “cheddar”.

        IMHO, it has three purposes:

        1. a grilled cheese on cheap white bread with enough butter to guarantee an acid reflux episode
        2. melted on Chef Boyardee ravioli
        3. on a slice of apple pie

        If your Kraft singles are too precious, I think the Dollar Tree brands stray even further from gods light.

            I think it might be an “older people in the south” thing. (Like all boomers and older I’ve talked to about it know about it, usually not younger) I worked at a diner for a bit, and it would be Silent Generation types that would order it.

            It’s pretty good, but real cheddar would be better. It’s that similar salty/sweet combo that makes French fries and a McFlurry better than sex.

      I’m sure the synthetic oilly shit has a wonderful reaction with that unprotected stainless steel.

      Not to mention that depending on force of the throw, and precise angle of the impact of cheese slice, the thing could start falling apart.

      … which now I think about it, also explains the:

      “hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”

      Your right I’m gonna hold up a small sign somewhere out of the way to fight Nazism. I have a feeling that reading the sign will hurt the Nazis feelings and that will really deter them. Plus people will appreciate that I didn’t disturb anyone at all. /s

      Dude this is a pretty mild form of protest.

      I sympathize with the people who bought the car not realizing he’s a Nazi asshole. But considering his treatment of workers and general anti-repair attitudes have been well known for a while. I’m not gonna sympathize too hard.
