Gay lead; when being a stone top just isn't hard enough.

N-n-nuh uh! It was always a guy, I just helped reveal that truth!

I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I've been tempted to get a set for it because I think it'd be funny.

Edit: I've also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED's into the nuts so they'll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 38 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

They're illegal in my ~~country~~ county, but I have seriously considered seeing if I could find a vagina to go there instead, since they're not covered in the law.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago (3 children)

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Whoops, autocorrect. Meant "county" not "country"

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What county CAN make truck nuts illegal? If you’re in the US I feel like that’s a first amendment violation.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

That's the "puerile" obscenity carve-out for the first amendment.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they're illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

[–] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

They're illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can't have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.

Also, we're not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.

Alternatively, you could put a cowbell on it, it's not obscene, but it's just as red neck.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't work, bc no matter how many you put on, it always needs more cowbell.

A thing has nuts.

You ride it.

Sounds gay.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

A thing has nuts.

You get inside it.

Also works for tops :)

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Never thought about it, but modes of transport are usually referred to as she/her, so this totally checks out.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago (4 children)

Machinery of any kind is often gendered in the feminine. Particularly when you are either mad at the machine for not working or you are begging it to work.

[–] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The machine spirit cares not for our trifling concepts of gender and binaries. It demands only loyalty to the omnissiah and purity of mind.

Because that's what it means to be a MAN! Bolting fake testicles onto your truck.

Bunch of striving, alpha-male wannabe, Oakley-wearing Thumb heads.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, all trucks probably come with many nuts (and bolts) by default, so what's 2 more?

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Wait until you hear about genetics

Nuts? Like in anaphylactic shock nuts? I don't get it

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 45 points 8 months ago (1 children)

There's a thing called truck nuts. It's a rubber ballsack that hangs from the trailer hitch.

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 45 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (6 children)

No way. You're making it up

Edit: OMG why didn't I die before knowing that

The two men sold Truck Nuts through the late 1990s and 2000s, competing both in the market and in private, exchanging angry phone calls and emails. This conflict escalated into public relations wars, social media conflicts, posts on review sites, blog attack posts, and finally to legal cease and desist orders. Vice News published an article about the feud titled "Balls Out: The Weird Story of the Great Truck Nuts War".

I am so not surprised

It's true. We didn't make the rules.

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Best truck nuts I've ever seen were two large hex nuts (i.e., for a bolt - but a very large bolt - the bolt would have had to have been an inch/2.5 cm in diameter, at least) hanging from the hitch. Wish I'd taken a picture, it was hilarious.
