Why is this a news story and not a call to a tow truck company?

SpaceNoodle ,

SF parking enforcement would have to get involved.

IphtashuFitz ,

If this was Boston then parking enforcement would descend on it almost immediately.

SpaceNoodle ,

I like that traffic is no-nonsense in Boston. You sit at that light for more than half a second, everyone is honking at your distracted ass. SF or Seattle, morons will just sit there with their thumbs up their asses.

glimse ,

This is a blog post, not a news story. The real question is: Why is this a blog post and not giant penises drawn on every piece of metal with stainless steel blackener gel?

fubarx ,

Would not recommend. Cameras all over the car, recording everyone and anythig that approaches.

VelvetStorm ,

Cool, put a mask on and put your hood up on a hoodie with sunglasses on. You can get this done in under a minute and away you go.

JDubbleu ,

Don't get me wrong I absolutely love living in SF, but the police hardly give a shit about property crime so you probably wouldn't even need the mask.

Diplomjodler3 ,

They probably give a shit when it happens to rich people.

lath ,

Only when they're donors.

In a case like this I'd normally advocate for kicking in a door but if that isn't your thing just splash some water on it and watch it rust

livus ,

Few squirts from a water bottle filled with salt water.

cmbabul ,

These pieces of shit wouldn’t last a week on the gulf coast

SloppyPuppy , in This Jerk Parks His Cybertruck in an SF Crosswalk Every Day

Well, just spray some water on it for a week

@littlebluespark@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty sure if someone(s) simply spit on it, the sad sack'd rust. A civic duty, some might say.

JamesTBagg ,

Water is not as corrosive as people think. Vinegar on the other hand, and/or some hydrogen peroxide.

Fuck these guys. Put the full price on the menu.

Fake news don't even try to pretend not being propaganda anymore

You don’t buy one of those ugly-ass pieces of shit unless you’ve already bought into a dominance-oriented worldview, and intend to use it as a prop for asserting dominance over everyone who crosses your path. If you bought one and drove it considerately, you may as well have spent half the price on a more sensible car that only falls short in projecting an “alpha-male warlord” image.

Evotech , in This Jerk Parks His Cybertruck in an SF Crosswalk Every Day

Does sf not have police or parking controllers at all? Where in from that shit would be towed before he managed to get his first cup of coffee

FanciestPants , in This Jerk Parks His Cybertruck in an SF Crosswalk Every Day

One of those shows it's fully blocking a fire hydrant too. The driver's convenience is more important than people maybe burning to death.

Hawk ,

If it's blocking a fire hydrant, I think you can call the fire department to have it towed? From what I've read before, they don't take this lightly.

Maalus ,

They'll break the windows of a car if it's in the way since any kink in the hose might reduce the water output by like 50%. You'll get towed if no emergency is happening, but you also might get "towed" by the fire engine itself, probably with some major dents in your car if something is happening.

FunderPants , (edited ) in Anyone want to call this number and tell me what's on the other side?

Googled it (I'm not about to use international minutes for you) and found a YouTube video. It's marketing for an AI service. Their first point of contact is bland, a conversational AI with a synthetic voice that makes your appointment to talk to a real person about the service.

Thank you for doing the research. This product doesn't sound exciting.

jve ,

This product doesn't sound exciting.

They literally named it “bland.” Even they don’t think it’s exciting.

Can you jailbreak out of it?

SoleInvictus , in This Jerk Parks His Cybertruck in an SF Crosswalk Every Day

This looks like a great opportunity to slide across the hood with my keys hanging out of my back pocket.

Passerby6497 ,

That seems like it might not do enough damage. Get some jeans with bedazzled ass pockets, then you're really set for your hood slide.

Dultas ,

Could just spray it with a hose.

VindictiveJudge ,
@VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

It's specifically bare steel, so you'll do more damage to your keys than to the truck. It's also awful grade steel, so you could probably "accidentally" spill something on it and get some rust.

Hugh_Jeggs ,

Just saying, hot tub filter cleaner is one of the strongest oxidisers I've ever come across

Spilled some in my shed years ago and things are still rusting at an alarming rate

Hildegarde ,

If I were a vandal, (im not) I would get an old pair of boots and dip them into some sort of lightly corrosive liquid or gel, then walk them across the hood by hand.

There is no more reasonable result of parking a cybertruck on a crosswalk than finding the indellable footprints of someone stubborn using the crosswalk despite their best efforts.

Dreizehn , in This Jerk Parks His Cybertruck in an SF Crosswalk Every Day

Fugly truck.

robocall OP , in Lemmy meet up right now!
@robocall@lemmy.world avatar

The Lemmy party is now over!!! I had one great gentleman come over! I won't doxx them with a pic since I didn't take one. They were lovely none the less!

APassenger ,

Great location and good company.

Hope to do again soon and possibly persuade my wife to join.

owenfromcanada , in Anyone want to call this number and tell me what's on the other side?
@owenfromcanada@lemmy.world avatar

I called. Met bland.

It will erode in just a few days...give it some water.

What the actual fuck did I just read....

Well we know it can’t take a rock to the window.
