I don't like April Fool's Day. Yesterday I made an emergency visit to my dentist and had an extraction. I'd bet I still woke up feeling better than Lone Skum.
Honestly? I've seen worse angry white man humour. At least this makes sense as a joke and it isn't just a statement pretending to be a joke. It contains absurdity and sarcasm, there's a setup and a punchline. Good job Elon! You understand the structure of a joke!
And if he just had Bob and Eithleen over for dinner and fed them linguini, then he the linguini can be seen as their content as well. Though I think I am overestimating Elon here.
The Edsel was not a bad looking car. The Delorian had his moments when it looked cool. The Cybertruck is just butt ugly and almost worthless as a truck. I'd ask what was Elon smoking when he came up with this idea but I'm afraid to find out.
My wife put my son’s bowl of cereal in the freezer over night and froze the milk solid with the spoon in it. She placed it in front of him and took a video on her phone as he watched cartoons, then eventually picked up the spoon, with the bowl and frozen cereal and milk stuck to it. He thought it was the funniest thing ever. Mom! :)
Chevrolet used to make a vehicle bearing about the same relationship to a real pickup truck as does Musk’s version, minus the non-rust-proof “stainless” steel. It was called “El Camino”, Spanish for “the road” or “the way”. If you need “incel” explained, I can’t help you.
I had a '69 El Camino with a 396 Rat motor. Great for street racing......useless as a p/u unless you were towing a boat with a cooler of beer and a couple of friends in the back.....
have y’all seen that viral status going around Facebook about “I was today years old when I found out people are calling the Cybertruck the Incel Camino and I may never stop laughing?”
My local example comes from the City Councillor I usually call Councillor Clueless. Councillor Burhan Azeem, a second-term Cambridge City Councillor who has been getting a whole lot of press today, spent $5000 (of his own money, according to the radio) on digital billboard ads advocating for Cambridge to take over Boston and become the state capital. In fact, he's even renamed his campaign website https://www.annexboston.com/. I don't like him. I'd love to see the back of him. He has been described by a friend of mine who has been affiliated with MIT for more than sixty years as the ultimate MIT man, and I couldn't agree more.
I saw an actual cybertruck last week and damn... that thing is just fugly. Like, other than a status symbol, I have no idea why anyone would want to be seen in one. Hideous.
I've seen them here in SF and they are so fucking ridiculous and stupid. I don't even get it for the status symbol part because all it does is broadcast to the world that you are a gigantic fucking loser who blew a bunch of money on a fugly, shitty-made dork-mobile that will probably break down within 500 miles of driving it. And it is always some tech bro douche that is driving it (here at least).
Richest man in the world apparently can't hire a decent designer of trucks. I haven't seen one in person, but it reminds me of a souped up Aztek, which is a notoriously ugly vehicle.
HE IS A DESIGNER AND AN ASTRONAUT AND A JOURNAMALIST AND A POLIMITICIAN AND A COWBOY AND A FUNNY MAN AND A SUPER PROGRAMMERISTICIAN! HOW VERY DARE YOU!,!!,,
"For a doomsday vehicle, you'd want something that can run on banana peels and cow piss, not something that shuts down when it can't phone home to verify that you've paid your blinker fluid subscription."
I used to have bumper stickers that I got from Earth First! (exclamation point both trademarked and essential) for applying to various Detroit monstrosities that said "If your pecker was as small as mine, you'd need a muscle wagon, too." The goal was to fine a muscle car that already had a good coating of bumper stickers and apply that 'un to an empty space or to...say, cover a Reagan bumper sticker. There was one guy who didn't discover it for 6 months.
Sorry I missed it. I was too busy with the Great Enboopening.

Unsafe at any speed.
As someone who spends every day lying to people and/or trying to be funny, I find April Fool's to be kind of a busman's holiday.
Not being a car person, I don't understand the "Camino" reference. Can anyone enlighten me, please?

Chevy El Camino?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_El_Camino
The Cybertruck bears a resemblance to the El Camino, a car/pickup hybrid that was popular a few decades ago.
When GMC comes out with their version it will be the gay Caballero.
Incel Camino. That actually made my life a little brighter.

i had not, and now i am highly amused

I also saw one in the real world. It is so fugly.
Hubby has name on the waiting list and I have refused to allow one to join our fleet of electric vehicles
I saw one across a fenced parking lot last month. They are uglier in person than they are in pictures. How that’s possible, I’m not sure.
I love “incel camino” though.

It was ugly, but it had a bunch of cool features. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Aztek#Technology_and_notable_features , not the least of which that it could carry a standard 4x8 sheet of plywood inside.
The Cybertruck is just ugly.
Super funny take down of the Cybertruck: "Welcome to Elon Musk's cyberpunk dystopia. It's like a regular cyberpunk dystopia, but lame."

DAMN the comments are EPIC.
"For a doomsday vehicle, you'd want something that can run on banana peels and cow piss, not something that shuts down when it can't phone home to verify that you've paid your blinker fluid subscription."
Rather pathetic attempt at a joke, that.
I wonder if the lingini thing is referencing the old BBC April fool's spaghetti harvest joke.
I assumed it was something about the movie Ratatouille.

Classic.
Onel is already an April fools joke. puke

Anyone remember the "I parked like a pinhead" stickers or the "I eat the flesh of the living and I vote" ones?
"I'm changing the planet—ask how!" is also a good option for ginormous trucks and SUVs, made by a random SF activist.
