Religion doesn’t count. We’re on Lemmy, so neither does communism.

It's a tie between:

The Cybertruck looks pretty cool. Only complaints I have on the aesthetics after seeing them IRL a bunch is that the wheels are disproportionately large. It'd look much better if the frame was both bigger and farther above from the wheels

The Las Vegas Sphere is awesome, I'm glad it exists. Shame about the ads though

Drugs can make you temporarily bisexual if you're hetero/homo sexual

Agree with the drugs. Although I’d say that drugs actually work to bring out the repressed sexuality, and that most of us actually fall along a spectrum. I believe drugs help to explore this spectrum. I actually know someone who discovered they were bisexual off of a significant dose of shrooms. Apparently it’s more common than I thought.

Remember kids: Drugs are good

I mostly agree about the cybertruck. It's a stupid vehicle that shouldn't exist, but it looks cool.

Purely visually, it looks cool, in theory. But after having seen one in person it's like.... The wrong size somehow? Like, idk how big it should be, or what the proportions shouldbe like? But whatever they are, is fucking wrong.

I said before and I still think that the Cybertruck looks fine, it's the knowledge that it's a $100k luxury vehicle loaded with bazinga features that they intentionally made in small numbers so that they wouldn't have to meet safety standards that makes me hate it.

But if the whole car market could move over to visually distinct designs instead of streamlined aerodynamic pods, I would be ecstatic.

Unironically electric vehicles will bring these back. Much of the 'streamlining' is for fuel efficiency, so as we move away from fossil fuels we can get cool cars back.
