Turns out you can polish a turd.

A far less gross episode than the one where they made candles from earwax.

It's called dorodango and it's art

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Risky search of the day, pfew!

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Proud of you, boo

If this is real and setting aside the steaming pile that is the Cybertruck... The effort required to polish that much stainless steel to that level of finish is astounding.

Poor taste but amazing execution!

I doubt it's polished. It's probably a mirror wrap. Much cheaper and less effort.

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, yeah, that makes way more sense. TIL mirror wrap is a thing.

There's a company that does mirror polishes of them. I remember seeing a clip from some car show. They'd done a dozen or something, and it was mainly a guy just sitting there using an angle grinder and a big buffer/polishing wheel.

Was going to mention this as well. There's definitely companies out there who do exactly this sort of mirror polish on cybertrucks.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

People definitely have polished one of these to a mirror shine though. It looked awesome.

I would totally drive into that thing and claim I was blinded by the sun. It's so fucking illegal.

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

Crash into it on an e-scooter and total it

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Can that legally drive tho?

[–] xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 weeks ago

according to my research: no, you can’t have anything more reflective than a normal window, except specific colored reflectors in particular spots and regular car mirrors.
state laws vary though…
i was looking into mirrored windows and no, not allowed.

[–] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 9 points 2 weeks ago

I thought someone tried this with a delorean a while back and it was illegal.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Probably a cops car

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 11 points 2 weeks ago

I like it.

You can look yourself in the eye as you approach and think 'why am I going anywhere near this comedy fall-apart clown death car?'

[–] NotAGamer@lemmy.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

The shiniest dumpster.

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 5 points 2 weeks ago

This looks a whole lot cooler than the standard cybertruck

This is some fucked up Wile e coyote shit

[–] Seeeeeenntt@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Is that for chopping up lines of K?

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Now they're obnoxious AND they glare.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago
