    Yank tanks truly are the peakest of cringe. I’d be embarrassed to show up in one of those things

          We seem to have been invaded by them in the last 2 years or so. I don’t see why regular utes and 4wds have been fine until now, but suddenly every tradesman needs one of these.

            Fun Fact: it’s because of US CAFE standards imposed on auto makers. It’s not that people don’t want small and mid-sized trucks; it’s that it has been illegal to make them since 2012, the last year of the actual Ford Ranger.

          they were a thing when I lived in Texas in the late 70s. A guy I worked with had a big yellow Ford with 5’ high tires. Everyone had pickups. I had a Datsun pickup with DOHC sounded like it would blow up at 60 but smoothed out again at 70. commutes were wild

          my cringe compilation

          INT. SMITH FAMILY LIVING ROOM - DAY

          Morty is sitting on the couch, engrossed in his smartphone, while Rick is tinkering with one of his inventions.

          Morty: (excitedly) Hey, Rick, you gotta check this out! There’s this new thing called “Cringe Compilations” on the internet. It’s like, people doing really awkward stuff and everyone makes fun of them!

          Rick: (glances over) Cringe compilations, Morty? Seriously? The internet’s been around for decades, and that’s what you’re excited about?

          Morty: (nervously) Well, I just thought it’s kinda funny, you know, watching people act all weird and stuff.

          Rick: (rolls eyes) Morty, it’s called the internet. It’s a vast wasteland of cringe and chaos. (pauses) But you know what? Maybe it’s time I enlighten you about the wonders of the multiverse.

          Rick pulls out his portal gun and creates a portal.

          INT. MULTIVERSE - INTERGALACTIC INTERNET CAFE - DAY

          Rick and Morty step out of the portal and find themselves in a futuristic internet cafe filled with all sorts of bizarre creatures from different dimensions.

          Morty: (looking a round) Whoa, Rick, this place is insane!

          Rick: (smirking) Welcome to the Intergalactic Internet Cafe, Morty. Here, you’ll find cringe beyond your wildest nightmares.

          They sit down at a terminal, and Rick starts typing away.

          Rick: (typing) You see, Morty, cringe is a universal constant. No matter where you go, there’s always gonna be something that makes you cringe.

          On the screen, we see a bizarre video titled “Zogork’s Awkward Dance-Off.”

          Morty: (watching) Uh, Rick, what’s that?

          Rick: (grinning) That’s Zogork, the three-headed space alien trying to dance. Now that’s what I call cringe!

          Morty: (cringing) Oh, geez, Rick. That’s… something else.

          They browse through various cringe videos from different dimensions, including a segment where people are trying to speak backwards, a cat that thinks it’s a parrot, and a sentient jello mold attempting stand-up comedy.

          Morty: (laughs) This is insane, Rick! I’ve never seen anything like it.

          Rick: (chuckles) Morty, the multiverse is a treasure trove of cringe. But here’s the thing, it’s all relative. What’s cringe in one dimension might be considered cool in another. It’s all a matter of perspective.

          Morty: (still laughing) Yeah, I guess you’re right, Rick. Cringe is in the eye of the beholder.

          They both continue to watch cringe videos, sharing a laugh and learning a valuable lesson about embracing the quirks of different realities.

          FADE OUT.

    The thing I hate the most about my province (Quebec), the passion people have for pickup trucks. It’s a fucking obsession, and it’s a subject that cant even be discussed, the right of owning one of those is almost the first article of our constitution.

      I don’t mind passion from a hobby perspective. Some people are passionate about sports, coding, radios, plants, stamps etc. It’s okay to be passionate about cars and trucks, just don’t daily drive these if you want people to respect you. Same with stanced cars.

      The problem as I see it is that these modded ones are pushed as still being practical when they are really only big toys. Have you ever noticed that jacked up trucks rarely have caps or toolboxes on the beds? The extra height takes away the utility of the bed and loading/unloading anything is a pain in the ass. They pour all this money into making their truck less useful.

      I’ve driven big F-250s for work. They have a time, a place and a purpose. And that is not as a daily driver for most people.

        J’en ai vu un sur le boulevard Pi-IX, le gars a “enfumé” une quunzaine de personnes qui attendaient l’autobus. Sérieux.

        Moi aussi je me demandais comment autant de gens peuvent se payer des tanks de même, vu le prix, jusqu’à ce qu’un ami qui travaille en administration m’explique que la plupart des gens qui en ont font juste s’enregistrer une entreprise et le mette dessus. Même pas besoin de faire des vrais affaire avec ton entreprise, tu déclares des revenues négatifs et tu ramasses plein de crédits pour ton char. Bref, c’est nos impôts qui finance les gros chris de pickup du monde.

      Also, it probably weighs over 3500 kg, so you’ll need a C license to drive it. Fun fact, if you have one of those, you can also drive a huge lorry. Why would you choose an eyesore like that, when you could be a badass rock hauler.

      Some dude drives on of those where i live. I’ve never seen it move, it’s always parked on the same spot where it doesn’t fit. Completely with aouthern state flag and stickers that say that only gay cops pull him over and how every car that is not a v8 is for girls. I’d be so embarrassed to drive that thing.

            I only commented as you come from a non English speaking instance. It’s a common error in English, so I figured I’d point it out. Were I making a mistake in Dutch I would like such corrections

      Most people who ride bikes just ride bikes. And a minority are what you call “cyclists”.

      I don’t know about where you live. But here cyclists stick to the cycling paths almost all the time. A simple chime or ring from their bell will do just fine to let people know if they’re coming. No need for sneering buddy. Let go of your anger.

      Also, fuck cars.
