What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

Notice what you don't see: Any scratches or dirt on it nor mud on any of it's 6 tires. Total pavement princess.

[–] SalamenceFury@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, like, put that shit in the mud where it belongs you giant ass pussy.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 7 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

I doubt a custom build can manage a decent 6x6 setup, so it's probably terrible offroad.

Plus it would only be good in flat, open spaces, too big and too long of a wheelbase, the breakover angle sucks, and the approach angle does as well with the stupid grille.

It's an interesting build, but it's probably more art than function.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 20 hours ago

It's on standby for the apocalypse. You don't want to use it up beforehand.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

I could give them the benefit of doubt and say it's new and a Christmas present, but even if that's the case it will likely never go off road once (maybe a gravel road if they're feeling adventurous)

It exists because many people have more money than brains. As for the decal, what you have there is the 2024 Apocalypse Juggernaut 6x6 . My guess is that the owner is probably 5' 9" and 300 lbs gravy seal with 30 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition who thinks he's going to take over Florida when society collapses.

[–] muxika@lemmy.world 39 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The rugged individualist of the gated community.

If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.

[–] Yondoza@sh.itjust.works 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn't an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?

The brand is actually called Apocalypse? Wow 🤦

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 34 points 23 hours ago

Even better, it’s not even manual, the thing is a fucking automatic

Also known as a "loot drop" for the who actually will take over when society collapses

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 20 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Googling that truck name appears to show they sell for $250k-$260k. I can think of better things to spend that kind of money on.

And then when a group of anarchists just hose his entire house and car with multiple rusty AKs he'll be looking up from Hell like "HOW DID I LOSE THAT THEY CHEATED". Altho, having that amount of guns and ammo doesn't really indicate gravy seal bullshit, if you go to the range often the ammo literally evaporates super fast. But that truck having no signs of being used off-road does clearly indicate that.

thinks he’s going to take over Florida

First one to go (and first to run out of fuel)

I love seeing trucks and cars that are supposedly for the apocalypse. Do you seriously think we're going to have gas in the apocalypse??? Do you not realize the insane supply chain that needs to exist for you to have gas in your car? You can't store gas, it goes bad pretty dang quick you dumb fuck. What's your plan?

[–] vodka@feddit.org 29 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

This is why my "shit hits the fan" vehicle is a 1982 diesel Mercedes.

That thing will run on anything as fuel. I've tried running it on old used motor oil, used hydraulic oil from my car hoist, lamp oil, and yes ofc used fryer oil.

I'm gonna be cruising in my old ass sedan laughing at the preppers in their modern trucks that can't run on anything but the most pure of fuels without clogging their injectors.

Us with solar and electric vehicles and bikes have been the actual ones prepping.

Ha, and it's always something that probably gets like 4mpg.

They don't think. They feel. They're little better than toddlers. You wouldn't ask a child how their blanket is going to protect them from ghosts.

Best part is, this isn't even a diesel. It's got a Hellcat engine. For heavy vehicles you'd want diesel to get good torque and fuel economy. That's why cargo vehicles are almost all diesel powered.

Even if the refineries kept going in the apocalypse, I'm fairly sure places that distribute fuel would be few and far between. This person would have to refuel a LOT... Might not even make it to the next place with fuel.

Every conversation with the owner: "goddamn gas prices! Stupid liberals!"

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 41 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

You laugh now, but when society collapses they'll be safe for a full hour before they run out of gas. If they can make it into the truck, of course, since it looks too big to fit in their garage.

[–] glibg@lemmy.ca 40 points 18 hours ago

A very scared man hides in this thing on his way to an unsatisfying job.

Must be a hard life to get laughed at everywhere you go 😄

I bet you didn't even notice the lion.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 10 points 21 hours ago

Wow, that took me way too long to find. I thought you meant on the truck. BTW, the logo is dumb af.

Is it a Christmas lion? Such a weird dude.

No mud whatsoever. Fucking poser ass coward.

While my little truck is a disgusting mess all the time. Shit in the bed, etc.

It's a truck. It gets the cheap $1 wand wash every 3 months.

[–] nocturne@piefed.social 8 points 23 hours ago

I wash my Tacoma every 5 years or so, as long as I do not get stinky mud on it. The bed does get washed a bit more often.

The last time I washed it it looked so foreign to me I kept losing it in parking lots.

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

They need that for the difficult run to Publix obviously.

[–] drath@lemmy.world 13 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

Just... drive a train at this point. There's nothing more badass than a train.

Where are the HOAs when they could actually be useful for a change...

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 21 hours ago

This kind of shit is typical in a lot of upper middle class neighborhoods in FL. You'd see Hummers, pseudo-monster trucks, etc sitting in front of dainty houses with highly manicured lawns. All so that they can drive vehicles that are far more likely to kill people.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 9 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

Its funny because its built to destroy but the owner would likely cry if it was scratched.

These are the first people who would die in a real collapse, probably killing others as they go. I loved Max Max and Car Wars too, but I know it's fiction.

I mean okay if it was built properly(these usually arent, just for road and not offroad) and the ownerr actually used it offroad, and the car would be banned on the road, it would be pretty cool. But all this is doing is having horrible fuel economy while being a pedestrian murdering machine.
