Lead kills at high speed, at low speed and it turns trucks gay....ok got it all written down. Now. Let's talk about why all trucks come with a prolapsed anus and why Elon wants to remove that too

They're illegal in my country county, but I have seriously considered seeing if I could find a vagina to go there instead, since they're not covered in the law.

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

Whoops, autocorrect. Meant "county" not "country"

What county CAN make truck nuts illegal? If you’re in the US I feel like that’s a first amendment violation.

roguetrick@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

That's the "puerile" obscenity carve-out for the first amendment.

Cethin@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

I'm pretty sure they're illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 1y

They're illegal in my state too, but they based it on already existing traffic laws regarding distractions. For example you can't have colored lights that illuminate the road under your car.

Also, we're not allowed to have anything hanging off vehicles externally in case it comes off and causes an accident.

Tja@programming.dev · 1 pts · 1y

My guess would be most of them. Based on nothing.

Alternatively, you could put a cowbell on it, it's not obscene, but it's just as red neck.

OpenStars@discuss.online · 9 pts · 1y (2 replies)

It doesn't work, bc no matter how many you put on, it always needs more cowbell.

Kaboom@reddthat.com · -2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

The first day you attach one cowbell.

The second you attach two more cowbells.

The third you attach four more cowbells.

Never thought about it, but modes of transport are usually referred to as she/her, so this totally checks out.

Machinery of any kind is often gendered in the feminine. Particularly when you are either mad at the machine for not working or you are begging it to work.

nforminvasion@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (1 reply)

The machine spirit cares not for our trifling concepts of gender and binaries. It demands only loyalty to the omnissiah and purity of mind.

To be fair, all trucks probably come with many nuts (and bolts) by default, so what's 2 more?

There's a thing called truck nuts. It's a rubber ballsack that hangs from the trailer hitch.

The two men sold Truck Nuts through the late 1990s and 2000s, competing both in the market and in private, exchanging angry phone calls and emails. This conflict escalated into public relations wars, social media conflicts, posts on review sites, blog attack posts, and finally to legal cease and desist orders. Vice News published an article about the feud titled "Balls Out: The Weird Story of the Great Truck Nuts War".

I am so not surprised

bluewing@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y

I live in a part of the US where little old ladies drive large pickups with snowplows on the front. Ain't no one but some short dicked city slicker tourist driving around with truck nuts and often those spikey lug nut covers. And maybe it's all on a 1 ton dually for the extra douche.

Gender assignment surgery

They would probably be against that too though

nforminvasion@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1y

/uj many conservatives and even many progressives unfortunately ask the doctor or comply with the doctor's suggestion of gender surgery for intersex babies. It's rare for sure but not that rare.

I think even many progressives would not because they're biggoted against intersex people but fear of the uncertainty in parenting that child. Instead of sitting in the discomfort they would rather just fall back to what they know.

Best truck nuts I've ever seen were two large hex nuts (i.e., for a bolt - but a very large bolt - the bolt would have had to have been an inch/2.5 cm in diameter, at least) hanging from the hitch. Wish I'd taken a picture, it was hilarious.

The funny thing is that saying something is unhinged doesn't make it so any more than saying that someone is angry makes it so. You're reading your own emotions into interactions with other people. That's unhelpful and unhealthy. You should consider not doing that.

Two2Tango@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

There are stereotypes of certain personalities who'd attach nuts to their truck, and people are choosing to be associated with them by installing truck nuts. It doesn't mean they fit the stereotype, they might be nice normal people who do it for their own reasons. But public perception is they think nuts hanging off a truck is funny (dumb) or manly (cringe).
