Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Unfortunately, the impact of an actual snowflake on a Cybertruck will irreparably damage its finish.

Snowflakes also block the Cyber trucks "uniquely" designed headlights

Government response should be.... "While the government sympathises with your plight and considers protecting its citizens a core duty, recent events have left the government under manned and thus powerless to protect those who cheer on the downsizing of the government until it directly affects them. Therefore please accept our apologies but until such time as staffing levels allow us to focus on anything but the absolutely vital functions of government which are already more than we can handle, we will not be able to offer you any support."

Just needed to add the “sending thoughts and prayers” at the end but otherwise perfect.

"Due to government short staffing, created by the current Trump/Musk administration, we are unable to render assistance since you have a net worth of less than 100 billion dollars. We can however refer you to our private partner "Guard", Guard - the X in security, can be requested through X following an AI loyalty analysis of your Xeet history.

Once approved for Guard services you can expect one part time Guard to protect your Tesla for two total hours a week."

Thoughts and prayers, anyone?

Teslas are gross

So I guess you don’t mind having to bury it if it catches fire, because they reach insane temperatures. Or the fact that raccoons think they are dumpsters.

Just don’t buy a cyber”truck”? I am genuinely baffled why anyone would choose that over any other truck in America. There are so many better priced, and higher quality vehicles on the market.

Just wait till they vote to add it as a protected class.
