OTH really was just some random animated movie that was stacked with huge talents doing voiceover.
A lot of animated movies have super star studded voiceovers. The pay is pretty good for these actors and they don’t have to spend hours on makeup and wardrobe. They show up in regular clothes, talk into a mic for a couple hours then go home and cash a fat check. Vastly easier than actual acting roles.
and probably more fun
Damn, thank you. We’re snowed in AF here in Jersey (New), and I needed a good family flick, the kids are shit at helping me pick.
And music by Ben Folds
I must mention, the ps2 / pc game that came with this movie was very liminal and surreal, especially the house level at night. This is the best screenshot i found. It doesn’t feel like a real house, but a set. I can’t explain, i think you might have to play this youself.
PS2 Toy Story game was also pretty amazing
Such a good movieee
This movie was surprisingly good, I took a woman to see it in the theater when it came out, and fifteen years later we were still quoting it at each other.
Every cybertruck I see where I live has some company logo or wrap on it. It’s great advertising – it lets me know never to hire that company for anything.
The most hilarious one is for a company that does waterproofing. Like yes, I’m going to hire a waterproofing company that just spent $100K on a vehicle that can’t go through a car wash.
That’s gonna look even worse when it starts rusting.
Of course not. What kind of man would want to see his family burned with him in a fiery death trap?
The kind that thinks the Cybertruck is a good use of money in the first place?
This could be said about any EV ever that uses lithium ion batteries.
No, most doors have fucking handles.
I was mistaken in my assumption. Figured the Tesla would have an obvious clear way to escape quickly without power in an emergency but no.
Petrol of course being famously non flammable.
Teslas are especially unsafe, and often lock people inside when they fail. This is because Tesla is run by one of the dumbest men who ever lived.
U mean there isn’t any manual override at all?
yes but actually no. There’s a hidden pull cord under the bottom mat of the “map pocket” that you have to remove, along with whatever else you were storing in there at the time. That’s assuming the cord hasn’t fallen out of reach inside the door or otherwise become inaccessible during an accident, of course.
The owner’s manual section on “how to open the door if there’s no power” spans 4 pages (viewed on mobile) and has 3 diagrams to illustrate the steps.
(incidentally, opening the frunk with no power is a separate page with ten steps and begins, “To open the powered frunk when Cybertruck has no power, you need a power source that provides between 9V and 16.5V”… it’s like they’re trying to be shit.)
That’s utterly insane wtf.
Or any vehicle with an internal combustion engine, because those burn way more often.
But their fires aren’t reported on as much because it doesn’t cause as much
ragebaitengagement.EV fires make the news because fire departments often struggle to put them out.
It ain’t just ragebait, Lithium battery fires burn much hotter and are way harder to deal with. All it takes is one cell to be damaged to cause a chain reaction. We gotta have better types of batteries first, and we’re getting there. New batteries exist, they are cheaper, and safer but they are bulkier.
Pretty much all Chinese EVs use LFP batteries. You can hammer a nail into one and it’ll just stare at you like you’re some kind of dumbass.
Western made ones use NCA or NCM batteries because of range anxiety. But those ones are armored AF so good luck doing any significant damage to them. And I suspect they’ll also switch to LFP within the next decade or so anyway.
Not ones with real door handles.
Only if they get into a salt water flood.
What starts with c- and ends in -uck?

Cybertruck
Hey! No kink shaming please
Leaving all the downsides of the Cybertruck aside - the fact that it’s built by a fucking nazi, the fact that it can turn in to a death trap, the fact that the build quality is shit…
Who the fuck buys a hideous, hideous car like this…? Who suffers from such poor taste that they think a piece of junk that looks like it was designed by a five-year-old is something worth spending money on, let alone so much?
I don’t know, I think it looks cool.
Completely impractical, shitty car built by a Nazi that nobody should even consider buying. But in terms of looks alone I like it. I’d gladly drive one in, e.g. a video game (if the look wasn’t associated with Musk, unfortunately it’s tainted now), or watch a movie where it’s the weird vehicle the superhero uses.
Why would you build a car looking like that in the real world I have no idea, but it looks cool.
It looks cool? Well, we have completely different ideas of cool looks, apparently… I think this car looks cool.
I think this car looks cool
No fair. We all know that is the coolest car ever.
Nice if you are a 68 year old retired real estate salesman.
It’s obviously subjective. To me this car just looks like a generic expensive car. Looks the same like every other car.
I hate the cybertruck, but I think it’s chassis modularity is really neat, they just cut a predefined line in the chassis, then drop in a replacement section, although I’m not sure if I should trust the glue they use to fuse them, even after seeing how it happens in JerryRigEverything’s video on it.
Cybercucks buy these shitty vehicles for the same reason they do anything - to own the libs. That’s the only point of it.
I’m not defending the Cybertruck, but I used to think the same thing about the Honda Insight. It looks much nicer now, but that was after a huge toning down of toddler design.
That may be true, but in case of the Cybertruck, I doubt that there is any lipstick you can put on that particular pig that can somehow turn it into something I would even remotely consider buying.
I mean, I’m European, I can’t buy the fricking thing anyway, but I am also rather glad that I’m spared from ever seeing it in the wild.
Nissan Cube has entered the chat
A surprising amount of students at my uni have cybertruck.
No fucking clue.
Low resale value ?
lol is it Harvard
Worse
Yale
Everyone gets lost talking about this thing. Purchasing and driving a poorly-engineered or aesthetically-questionable vehicle isn’t the primary problem. That’s not unique. There have always been shitty vehicles.
People who drive these gave $80,000 to empower the Nazis. The fact that they’re shitboxes just underscores that conspicuous consumption and the support and affiliation for and with Fascism are the entire point.
I don’t see them down here either as they fail basic standards for street legality
Sadly this doesn’t hold true for red states. I’ve seen multiple people putting their children at risk by ferrying them around in a vehicle that makes the Ford Pinto look safe.
A whole family driving any truck would be difficult since there’s only room for one person on the drivers seat.
Older pickups had a bench seat so could seat 3. Then there are the crew cabs who can seat 6.
Musk = POS Nazi.
I’ve seen one with those family stick figure stickers on it, but just the one dude driving. Must’ve gotten divorced and she took the kids.
It was that way even when the cybertruck came out. Early tesla users, maybe, but we knew he was a weirdo cunt who came from apartheid money even then.
You want an electric truck, get a rivian. You wanna drive a nazi flag, get any type of tesla.
Let’s not pretend that this is a unique issue with cybertrucks.
Every day at work it’s nothing but single dudes riding their pavement princesses. My Model 3 has seen more family time and off-roading time than these things.
This is why most cybertruck drivers believe divorce and restraining orders should be illegal, and why it should be legal to hit their wives.
