It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I think it's really cool messaging that a car comes with a complimentary beer

[–] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 60 points 1 year ago (4 children)

How is this a real dude and not a character we made up to laugh at?

Twitter's primary function is finding and inventing new types of guys.

"Oh is that like a Prius?"

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Well the newest one does look a lot less like the older Prius models

forced himself to drink it? classic beer mentality

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If he wasn't a fascist I'd say critical support to Elon for fleecing techbros.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Look if someone bought "Tesla Cyberbeer" they deserve whatever happens to them.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

for $75...

take this as a life lesson dude

[–] RoabeArt@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Aren't aluminium bottle caps, like cans, supposed to have a clear plastic coating on them to prevent the metal from corroding and reacting with the drink? Did they forget to make the caps with that stuff on them or something?

[–] Zvyozdochka@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

It's usually only on the inside/bottom of the cap, the part where the drink actually touches the cap

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Aluminum also doesn't rust IIRC so idk what's going on here.

[–] The_Walkening@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Beer bottle caps are steel usually - looks like they contracted out a batch of beers and let them sit in bad conditions - also they used a clear bottle which means the beer develops a bunch of off-flavors bc of the light hitting it.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn't even call it "Cybeer"

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

hehe, gottem

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

$75 beer should come with bottle service. melon-musk ability to grift his base is cheeto-man level

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trump's going to come after Elon for stealing his shtick.

Elon is just if Trump wasn't funny

[–] windowlicker@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"why did you drink it?"

because that's the purpose of it????? it's a beverage for consumption??? elon can't do anything right, he can't even make a beer that is drinkable.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I interpreted it as why would you drink a beer that was in a comprised container and tasted weird.

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean it's alcohol, idk how bad it can really be even in a compromised container.

[–] Chump@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If you’ve ever heard someone talk about a beer being skunked, they’re referring to it having gone bad. Happens more easily than you’d think and especially with beer, where the Abv isn’t really high

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Skunked beer is from oxidation of hop compounds, not biological spoilage. Beer can be contaminated with undesirable microbes but the dangerous ones can't grow in the low pH and alcoholic (even when it's low abv) environment.

[–] lemat_87@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you also think "Tesla John" is somewhat cringe?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Sounds like he cruises for sex workers in his Model Y.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Forcing yourself to finish what wound up being a terrible investment is incredibly relatable, ngl. Though if it's a bad beer I'd just cook some brats in it, if anything.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's called sunk cost, I suppose...

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Elon said that the Cybertruck is watertight enough to be a small boat. First person to test that is gonna have a real sunk cost on their hands.

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Talaga?! Welp, their funeral...

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao you gotta respect elon's grift

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Idk grifting when you're born into riches just seems overkill. I respect it when you're born poor and you get rich grifting, but Elon couldve done nothing in his entire life and still been rich

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Wait.. They give away alcohol with their vehicle that is illegal to drive when under the influence of alcohol?

Geniuses.

as a beer enjoyer, i need to find someone dumb enough to get me a cyberbeer. it sounds truly awful

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

my-hero looking into it
