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

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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 11 months ago (3 children)

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 9 points 11 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 10 months ago

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

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 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 10 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 11 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

A thing has nuts.

You get inside it.

Also works for tops :)

[–] kemsat@lemmy.world 27 points 11 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 10 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 10 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 11 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 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait until you hear about genetics

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think trucks have those

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

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 45 points 11 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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 10 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.
