Here’s a story you all saw coming. If a new model pickup truck is on the road for any amount of time, somebody is going to ram a deer with it! What makes this collision unique is the pickup truck in question: a 2024 Tesla CyberTruck. The headline tells much of the […]

The guy made an innocent comment about motorcycles but because it was perceived as even possibly supportive of cybertrucks people downvoted lol I'm just pointing out to this commenter that you're only allowed to say bad things about musk/ cybertruck.

Strange, but your post is still here and so is his. You said you are only allowed to say bad things about Muskrat and Swatiscar.

Oh wait, you wanted people to up vote you. Pardon me while I exit stage left laughing.

I didn't say the mods would delete comments just that people get all pissy if you say anything that can be slightly construed as positive about musk or the cybertruck (even if your only comment is that you think it looks kinda cool)

Ninja edit? Wat?

I've seen the aftermath of that happening... Blood... Blood everywhere.
