Tesla said on Tuesday it was recalling most Cybertrucks in the United States over issues with their windshield wipers and exterior trim.

    I was walking to the grocery store when I saw a neighbour polishing his in front of his house. I said “Wow, a Cybertruck,” and he replied, “Cool, isn’t it?”

    I said, “No, it’s a $120,000 go-kart made of scrap metal that will rust in a month.”

    Edit: sounds fake but I do have a picture of the car in question, but I took it on a different day—

        Why would I make up the number 1 most common interaction between a Cybertruck owner and a normal person?

        But here’s a picture I took of his car while he was attending church (across the street from the grocery store):

        And yes, you can tell it is new because it doesn’t have a number plate yet.

        The picture was taken on 30 March, the interaction happened a few days earlier

          No one’s questioning that you saw a Cybertruck, just that you actually said those things to the owner.

      This is the type of bs that should be in a Shower Thoughts comm.

      But if a cypto-bro is making up making fun of a Tesla car, at least that’s progress.

          18 hours ago:

          You can make significant money by trading crypto peer-to-peer. It is incredibly risky but you can make around 6-7% profit after fees. I made around 2,000-3,000 USD monthly, moving around 40,000 USD in volume. The main risks are chargebacks and account closures.

          I don’t know. You tell me.

            (past tense)

            But how do you define “crypto bro”? Sure not “any person who’s ever held cryptocurrency”, right? Because that would make 25% of the US population crypto bros.

            I absolutely reject this categorisation. I don’t give a shit about crypto or any of the ideas behind it. It’s interesting from a technical perspective as a person who holds a computer science degree, but I’m in it for the money. Holding crypto is gambling, and nothing more.

            The only crypto I hold now is for online poker sites and for buying precious metals on r/pmsforsale on Reddit.

              Lmao I’m not even going to bother with any of that BS you just typed, it’s so ridiculous.

              “I move 40 grand around in crypto all the time, but I’m totally not a crypto bro. The risks are just that’s it’s bullshit that gets accounts closed”

              I’m sorry man. But you are legit a crypto bro, and apparently a pretty scummy one at that. Guess I was the one you had to hear it from.

              Be better.

                Read carefully, because it seems that reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

                Wiktionary defines “crypto bro” as “an enthusiastic cryptocurrency supporter, usually male, especially a dogmatic and condescending one”.

                You may notice I do not fit any of those categories, besides perhaps being male.

                For the adoption of cryptocurrency by businesses and states, I am apathetic, even mildly in opposition. As for being dogmatic, I entirely am not, because I don’t give a shit.

                But I will admit, you have successfully tempted me into being condescending towards you.
