Looks cooler than the standard color

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.run 73 points 5 months ago (2 children)

As useless as the Cybertruck is that paint job actually makes it look kinda good.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 30 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder, because that thing still looks like a low poly piece of shit to me. I do have terrible taste in general though, so take that as you will

[–] FireTower@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It is definitely too low poly. The DMC-12 did it right. Then the Cyber truck tried to copy it without understanding why it worked aesthetically.

I dare anyone to claim that the DeLorean didn't look cool as all fuck (even without a flux capacitor)

It’s how people in the 80s thought cars would be like in the 90s.

It looks like the average Roblox free asset car.

~~Cybertruck~~ Incel Camino

Much better chance of getting laid with that paint job though.

Don't get me wrong. I support my LGBTQ group(s).

But I can't unsee a trashcan on wheels that now has a pride flag car wrap.

[–] hydroptic@sopuli.xyz 93 points 5 months ago (1 children)
[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.run 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That is an unfair comparison a Trash can has a purpose, unlike a Cybertruck.

[–] Gamers_Mate@kbin.run 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Though I was curious what the Trash can would look like if it had the same colour scheme as the cybertruck.

That's actually a great fade.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Makes me wonder if it's a wrap, not paint.

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago (3 children)

It has to be a wrap. Stainless steel does not take paint well at all due to the constant oxidative coating on its surface.

I am glad they are starting to paint them, maybe it will slow down the rust.

Hold on. Apologies for being out of the loop, but do people really bring sexual fetish stuff to a pride parade?

And if so, what does that have to do with LGBTQ+?

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Imho there are two angles to this question:

  • First, queer folks are more likely to be kinky. Since they had to figure out what clicks for them at least once, they tend to do it on multiple aspects of their identities.
  • Secondly - and this one is more of a personal standpoint - I'd argue that kinks fall under the wider umbrella of queerness or GRSM (Gender Relational and Sexual Minorities which I find way better than an enumeration acronym).

I'd also advocate for including neurodivergences under the queer brand too for instance.

[–] chumbalumber@lemmy.blahaj.zone 38 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Also don't forget the historic aspect -- when queerness was viewed as sexually deviant and perverted, it was the kink community that stood by us. Just because we've evolved to be socially acceptable doesn't mean we should leave everyone else behind

Think you should ask them first, but no one ever asks the autistic anything

Thanks for the answer. Although, I still don't really get it.

I've heard that the kink community has a rule that people shouldn't expose their fetishes to non-consenting strangers. Why on pride parades then? Isn't engaging in these sort of activities here kind of wrong, like how you can't just go out nude or have sex in public?

[–] tabris@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (13 children)

It really depends on where you are and what sort of Pride event it is. If it's a Pride march with lots of corporate sponsors, then you'll see very little kink, maybe someone in full rubber, but probably no jockstraps. If it's a ticketed gay village party, or a circuit party, you'll definitely see some more risque kink gear being worn. If you're at Folsom or in Berlin, there's whole parades dedicated to kink, but even the straight public know about that, so if they don't like it, they can avoid the area during those events.

I've yet to see a Pride event that didn't have it, even in relatively conservative cities like Houston.

And if so, what does that have to do with LGBTQ+?

What does dressing up as an Astronaut have to do with All Hallow's Eve? It's a big party and people are expressing themselves. You don't have to take it farther than that.

Of course the most fabulous looking cyber truck is gay 🏳️‍🌈❤️

No amount of color or flair can make one of those look good. They are the ugliest vehicle I've ever seen and I see dozens of over sized bro dozers everyday.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago (3 children)

They look awful in promotional photos, but it's shocking how much more bizarre they look IRL when surrounded by normal vehicles.

I've always thought they looked great, but I also don't really like cars. Maybe they look ugly to people who know about cars and car fashion. It's all noise to me.

But no amount of anything can make them appealing, on account of their association with a certain billionaire.

Also they're Veblen priced without the luxury quality to back it up

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I usually think garish paint jobs ruin vehicles but in this case I think the paint job improves it. I also think if Elon sees this he'll burst a blood vessel so bonus points for that. No paint job will make me not hate the CT and anyone who buys one though.

I'm surprised it can pull something as heavy as a float.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 5 months ago (2 children)

What? It's rated to tow 11,000 lbs. An f150 tows 7,400-10,800 in comparison. It's a stupid vehicle for many reasons but tow capacity is not one of them.

Over-under for how long it will take Musk to threaten to sue this owner under some early adopter clause like the one preventing resales?

The cybertruck’s shape handles that rainbow paint job better than any other shape

I came here to make a similar comment in the picture before I scrolled down and realized there was already a similar comment that was literally part of the picture.

How did they get a Cyberderp to tow a float down a street without it breaking down? Is it powered by fairy wishes and unicorn farts?

[–] Zehzin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It's a Pride Parade miracle
