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

It hasn't loaded the higher poly model yet

Mentioned this before but it straight up looks like a VCR my family owned in the early 90's. Absolutely ugly and awful c*r.

Can't believe you'd say this about the old school Samsung (or was it Sony? Magnavox? Idk) VCR. It has some of that random pointless wood inlay and looked smooth as hell.

[โ€“] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Magnavox

I remember it looking something akin to this.

[โ€“] zifnab25@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I thought it looked pretty sweet at the time

Hey don't bad mouth woodgrain and metal box asthetics. The old 70's Magnovox and VCR units look good, ok? :angery:

Two of my teammates put themselves on the waitlist for this

All 4 of my (tech ofc, lmao) teammates have Teslas and goes into deep lunch discussions about them (mostly the charging) at least once every week

Extremely dark

All 4 of my teammates have Teslas and goes into deep lunch discussions about them (mostly the charging)

are they like discussing the proper way to confer with the machine spirit to optimally charge it or something

[โ€“] GaveUp@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's stuff like home energy sources, where to get free charging (one parks his overnight at the local middle schools parking lol), recent prices, the technology

Techie Elon fans hanging around a middle school hypersus

The window screen only functions to protect the driver from other human beings the auto drive targets accidentally.

WELCOME IN OMIKRON

Both of them look awful. One just looks more awful because its a bit scuffed.

Makes the first Virtua Racing look hi-poly

I tried to make parody lyrics but Lowrider has so few words - I made the truck sound cool instead. For example...

Cyber don't use no gas now
The Cyber don't drive too fast

[โ€“] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Cybertruck 2077 kelly

My pet theory about this is that they took so long to release it because elon kept pushing back against adding side mirrors

[โ€“] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

I now subscribe to this too and I'm going to tell everyone it.

[โ€“] Mana@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What the hell happened? Lol!

[โ€“] Tastysnack@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

You know as a kid when you are using tracing paper for the first time and you don't keep it held still and it moves around and the picture looks ass?

That lmao
