A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

      Christian conservatives are the worst of them all. Their entire society is steeped in their religion; it’s literally unavoidable, despite the first amendment being very clear. If the US has a culture, it would heavily overlap with Christianity.

      And yet they have convinced themselves that they are being oppressed. Because someone dared to challenge their obviously unconstitutional bullshit. It’s so pathetic.

    Destroying people’s property is not a joke. Kicking, spray painting, throwing food at, and other forms of harassment are wrong. The last administration told everyone to “go electric” so people tried to do what they thought was right. Cars are a huge expense, people can’t " just go get another one".

      While I agree “sell your car” is kind of ridiculous when nobody is buying and everyone is saying “don’t own it OR ELSE”. On the other hand most teslas are owned by the bank and people larping being rich as tesla is a premium car (nevermind that it’s built like to the standard of russian cars and falls apart constantly). Thirdly this is about the cybertruck. Cybertruck was a man squatting with his trousers down and making a face of great effort. Unless you are a complete moron or otherwise obnoxious, you knew exactly what was coming out of that anus. With a cybertruck It’s either in hidden away as an investment since it will be the next delorean once us civil war is over, or you are a bona fide complete moron for owning it and honestly deserve the financial hole. Selling theirs at a massive loss might even save their lives considering the safety record of that turd.

      Just wanted to say that the hate on American cheese is unjustified. American cheese is just cheddar that has been heated to 170f (iirc) for long enough to kill bacteria and make it shelf-stable. They add an emulsifier (again, iirc) to help it bind better and have a more pleasant texture.

      All other criticisms of America are valid, but the cheese doesn’t deserve the hate it gets.

        I agree, the american cheese is an Interesting and useful invention. At the end of the day it’s just emulsified cheese. Similiar to emusified sausages and meat products, which are popular all around the world.

        I much rather hate american insistace on substituting technique and culinary education with cream, corn syrup, sugar and butter, for example cacio e pepe or carbonara.

        You forgot to mention that it’s watered down. That’s what the emulsifier is for, to make the oils in the cheese mix well with the added water. The concept is fine - for some applications - if it were only that, but this is hyper-processed American food we’re talking about here. Gotta pad out that ingredient list:

        CHEDDAR CHEESE (CULTURED MILK, SALT, ENZYMES), SKIM MILK, MILKFAT, MILK PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, WHEY, CALCIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SALT, LACTIC ACID, MILK, SORBIC ACID AS A PRESERVATIVE, OLEORESIN PAPRIKA (COLOR), ENZYMES, CHEESE CULTURE, ANNATTO (COLOR).

        The above is the standard Kraft singles ingredient list, and at a glance is the shortest one I saw on their website.

        I wonder if one of the problems is your comparison of American cheese to what I’m guessing might be American cheddar. I say this because most (and I know there are some niche outliers) American cheddars are pretty awful. It tastes processed, rubbery and bland.

        When I, a Brit, lived in the USA for 4 yrs I quickly learned the only good cheddar was the NZ or UK stuff. I say this as someone who has gone through at least 1-3 blocks of various British cheddars a week for almost 40 yrs.

        I wonder if you have had imported (not just branded as “English cheddar” before for example? It might blow your mind… but also if American cheddar is all you have know it might not taste all that good - we all have our tastes shaped by our upbringing.

        Literally this is why it gets hate. It’s not remotely Cheddar. Real Cheddar is deliberately none of these things. I love a crunchy cheese crystal and a crumbly organic texture. To each their own, but it’s not Cheddar, barely cheese. I’d have it in a burger, but only because so few places will melt real cheese properly. Brie is pretty good in a burger. Is Somerset Brie really Brie? Time for a Frenchman to tell me to gtfo…

        IMHO, it has three purposes:

        1. a grilled cheese on cheap white bread with enough butter to guarantee an acid reflux episode
        2. melted on Chef Boyardee ravioli
        3. on a slice of apple pie

        If your Kraft singles are too precious, I think the Dollar Tree brands stray even further from gods light.

            I think it might be an “older people in the south” thing. (Like all boomers and older I’ve talked to about it know about it, usually not younger) I worked at a diner for a bit, and it would be Silent Generation types that would order it.

            It’s pretty good, but real cheddar would be better. It’s that similar salty/sweet combo that makes French fries and a McFlurry better than sex.

        I don’t think that’s the distinction.

        the distinction is throwing cheese at a fucking death trap of a car is not even remotely “the same level” as advocating for the extermination of groups of people, regardless of whether those groups are based on choices or immutable characteristics. you have to be actually cartoonishly insane to even think this is even comparable to anything associated with nazis.

        another distinction is that nazis do and advocate for abhorrent shit, and anything done to a nazi is therefore self defense.

      Nazis are well known for having thrown slices of cheese at things.

      Your right I’m gonna hold up a small sign somewhere out of the way to fight Nazism. I have a feeling that reading the sign will hurt the Nazis feelings and that will really deter them. Plus people will appreciate that I didn’t disturb anyone at all. /s

      Dude this is a pretty mild form of protest.

      I sympathize with the people who bought the car not realizing he’s a Nazi asshole. But considering his treatment of workers and general anti-repair attitudes have been well known for a while. I’m not gonna sympathize too hard.

        See, Nazis were objectively bad, and deploramobile owners FEEL these people are bad, so they must be the same.

          deploramobile

          I’m on your side but there’s no need for that kind of language.
