    Honestly, that’s a steal. It was the last good year of the tesseract on that frame. After that they had nothing but problems with them leaking into fifth dimension space and good luck finding a mechanic that’s glimpsed that and is still sane.

      Typical example of a car manufacturer losing touch with what the public wants. Four dimensional cars were a hard sell, most people didn’t really get it. And nobody gives a rat’s ass about the fifth dimension except using it as a place to dump their trash.

        Please don’t waste your time with AI ‘AI detectors’. Unless there’s a synthid or something similar, they’re entirely bullshit.

        The last thing anyone should ever be using AI for is telling them what is and isn’t real/true.

          That image is obviously AI though, the bumper on that tesseract is way too small compared to the grass blades

            Possibly. Could be other image editing. Since the picture didn’t seem to exist on the internet until a few days ago I imagine it’s AI, the entire point is that unfortunately there’s no way to be sure unless you know something’s provenance.

          I will admit I didn’t think that maybe the site itself was using AI, and even sources I’ve found saying so aren’t entirely reliable (although I wouldn’t be surprised), so dare I say this wasn’t me denying “common sense.”

            Ah, my bad for being a dick about it. Seeing people asking AI if shit is true/real has gotten so bad I instantly start slamming my head into the desk without pausing to make sure they knew that’s what they were doing first.

              No worries, I appreciate it. The whole situation around AI is just unfortunate, including the arguments about things being AI-generated (or how to tell they are without throwing it back at AI.)

                If something doesn’t have a synthid or similar thing built in to generated images by a very few AI companies then there is no way to tell if image, video, or text was created by AI unless it has an obvious tell, which is getting more and more rare.

        He needed a 4d mechanic, but his car was already repaired, he just wasn’t aware of it until it had broken again, but by that time, the 4d mechanic had unionized.

    Great car. You get in one door, you’re already there. Get out the other door, you’re on the moon. Great gas mileage.

        hey! trigger warnings trigger me.

        maybe give a trigger warning the next time you’re giving a trigger warning.

          I can’t remember the name of the novel.

          It’s a horror / thriller set in the Edwardian Era. There is torture, mutilation, cannibalism, human sacrifice, and plain old murder.

          The writer felt compelled to give a trigger warning because of some bad words.

    Isn’t the 4th dimension time so a tesseract should be a 5th dimension object.

      A tesseract is a spatial solid and not a temporal one. We don’t map cubes in a temporal temporal way, and also when abstracting dimensions the spatial is separate from the temporal so assigning time an ordered number is fairly useless. Why we call the fabric “space-time”.
