Cyberstuck

This makes me remember Sweden in the nineties, everh 40yo man and their fucking grandmother just had to buy a ... Harley Davidson motorcycle!

I mean if you want an anchor to your boat there are way cheaper ones. :-)

The thing was that those people wanted to be a rebel so hard, they shelled out astronomical amounts on that crappy bike (one story out of many; my lil bro got one in like 2010 and it broke down so much it was just comical, once he got it to this magic known harley mechanic who did a crazy overhaul, it broke down on the way home.).

So they was working in front of a computer all day, or serving people or whatever, and they were not rebels (!) but Harley Davidson could fix that. Like the cybertruck makes you a craftsman. Just like that.

Sweden was having more harley davidson motorcycles per capita than any other country in the world at that time. Guess insecurity sells.

/Story off

who could have seen that coming, except, well, everyone

They just summed up marketing. Buy your way into who you want to be

You’d think a tech worker would at least have a basic understanding of physics

Don’t get me wrong, I hate the cyber truck, but this is the owners fault. That roof thing slides back so he could have had them in at an angle where they wouldn’t have slid out.

I mean there’s an example of what to do parked right next to him 😆

It’s really just a techy spin on how a lot of car brands are marketed to insecure guys. Read the marketing strategy for big trucks or jeeps, and it confirms they are 100% aware that their marketing is aiming for weak men insecure in their masculinity. Pathetic.

At least if they’d bought a real truck, they might’ve been able to haul something with it.

They could have at least gotten a proper electric pickup

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but this isn't unique to just the dumpster truck owners.

I've seen people try to drive away with a couch mounted vertically in the passenger seat of a convertible (with no straps or rope of any kind).

I lost track of how many people roped their doors shut through the windows on their vehicles while strapping a 75 inch TV down to the roof of their Honda CRV.

The general population has an unbelievably poor understanding of physics and honestly I think we need to let more people die due to darwinism again. Saving the village idiot with modern medical standards has really just allowed them to get older and come up with even worse ideas. Sometimes they procreate and spawn in some new physics challenged shitlings that will be finding their way into your local ER with some self inflicted stupidity any day now.

I love that there are before and after photos. Someone saw that, knew exactly how it would end, and instead of telling the guy, took a picture, then waited in the parking lot for the inevitable results. 💀

“Outside their domain of experience”

Maybe more like nobody is around them to tell them that a) it’s not going to work, b) it’s a bad idea, c) nobody to dump the idea on to do the actual work of solving the problem that the originator can then take credit for or blame when it doesn’t work.

I'm not even by any accounts manly, and arguably a techie type, but I've been able to carry bookcases on top of my sedan, and boards sticking out the back trunk, using just rope, bungees, or Ikea twine, multiple times without any issue. Driving down highways even.

You don't need to be hoo-rah to secure a damn load, you just have to brain
