Fuck Cars

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Thoughts and prayers to all those affected.

Targeted attack? These cars are imfamous for spontaneous combustion its actually called a roman fire.

[–] Vijfsnippervijf@feddit.nl 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

This looks more like someone who ran their car through a car wash without using the special mode. How can a car like this be SO vulnerable? I thin the only explanation is that they’ve been designed by a ketamine addict! Down with cars, but ESPECIALLY DOWN WITH ELON MUSK!

How can a car like this be SO vulnerable?

I'd be tempted to see how they respond to a salt and acid mixture. Maybe even just something as mild as heavily salted lemon juice as an experiment. Depending on how those stainless panels are treated it could be effective. Acids and chlorides are hard on the passive layer of regular stainless, which is what protects the underlying metal. Maybe a different acid+salt mixture that won't have as obvious a smell after it evaporates? Would make for some "fun" "water" balloons or "water" guns, especially to play with at night. Without your phone on hand. While wearing a mask and plain black hoodie as PPE, of course.

You give him too much credit if you think he could even design that pos

Vandalism? Structural improvements!

Musk, the owner of X, said on Monday that his companies "make great products that people love and I've never physically hurt anyone, so why the hate and violence against me?"

"Because I am a deadly threat to the woke mind parasite and the humans it controls," Musk said on X.

Great that they quote Musk but dont even give a single sentence to an attempt at explaining the possible motivation behind these attacks. I know it, they know it, but apparently its forbidden knowledge just like when Luigi did his thing.

[–] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm calling humans parasites...

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well no he is calling them "controlled by parasites". Either way, dude is becoming more deranged every day.

Trump Derangement Syndrome

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Defined as people believing Trump cares about them personally.

Replace woke with "not being an arsehole"

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

or even not being a nazi. he was already an asshole before coming out, and people werent so angry to burn his shit.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I don’t even feel bad that this absolute timepiece seems totally oblivious to the danger of hanging out with despots who will have him shot the instant they see his as a threat rather than a useful idiot.

Targeted attack = someone gave them a coupon for a free car wash and the car subsequently burned to the ground?

Buys a bomb

complains when it blows up

[–] sebb@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How is any of that vandalism?! They're just disarming cars, no? 🤔

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 4 points 1 day ago

For the greater good.

Read that last bit and think of all the accidents these things drove people into, just to 'hand off' control .5 seconds before impact.

If we had a real government, Tesla would be in public hearings TODAY.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you do have a real government. They're really really really fascist.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

a really bad one... fuck tho you're right.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm thinking about how many man-hours and tax dollars go toward status symbols rather than humans.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (9 children)

oof that'll leave you miserable.

similarly, the coal rollers: they pay extra to modify their shitwagons to intentionally run BADLY, inefficiently, so they spew clouds of partially combusted fuel. their children and grandchildren will all suffer for every time these things roll down the block. and they don't care, they think gas costs too much (!?) as they cash their social security checks.

future generations will despise our society.

[–] Halasham@dormi.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Current generations despise our society. It's just a matter of despising it enough to want our leader's heads on pikes.

I still cannot fucking believe the culture war has gone so far as to make people do this and think the 'own the libs' by doing so. Absolutely insane society you go there, America. Guess it's the logical conclusion of destroying public education

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

God I swear the cognitive dissonance of people who chose huge vehicles and then complain about gas prices. we know, that's why we are more efficient in our travel

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you should be allowed to shoot coal rollers dead. it's self defense

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

where are the pro lifers when it comes to the assholes poisoning the next generation right?

It's really invigorating seeing this. This happens all over the western world! Nazi cunt Musk finally seeing the consequences of his actions. Insurance hiking on Tesla's, Tesla stock diving 50%, people vandalizing Tesla's, attacks and protests at Tesla dealerships.

[–] Melobol@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

As long as the small people don't get hurt. But when this happens it is them who will bear it instead of the Musks of the world.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I learned that brake cleaner can damage both paint and clear coat.

Don't ask questions.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Tomato juice is more excusable to carry about, albeit slower acting

[–] TassieTosser@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Throw an egg at it and increase its value.

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

During lockdown it was toilet paper. Now it's eggs. Kids nowadays are being priced out of classic vandalism staples.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 day ago

What about lemon juice?

[–] wirebeads@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

BURN THEM ALL TO THE FUCKING GROUND.

[–] aldalire@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

THE GROUND = $50 FOR TSLA STOCK

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

You love to see it!

[–] Ghost33313@beehaw.org 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

As long as these aren't bought and owned cars, it's cool. Plenty of good people got dupped into buying tesla before he was more open about his fascist agenda. Many of them are also stuck with it.

[–] LovesTha@floss.social 5 points 1 day ago

@Ghost33313 @Global_Liberty And that applies to 0 Cybertruck owners.

[–] AfricanExpansionist@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

If you're dumb and rich enough to buy a tesla I have no pity
