Someone in the OSHA thread with (I think) photosensitive epilepsy mentioned a thing where if the lights on emergency vehicles are synced just right (Or, I guess wrong), they'll have an.. I dunno attack? Episode? and find themselves headed toward those lights instead of trying to avoid them.

I think someone else also pointed out it happens with drunk drivers too.

Maybe Teslas work the same?

It's pretty funny to show my boss Instagram ads for snack foods and watch him buy $50 of pretzels or something.

They were pretty good pretzels, at least.

I feel like pretzels have a low ceiling of quality. Like there's only so good a pretzel can be.

Agreed, these were on the higher end of the spectrum, and distracted our team from work angst by talking about pretzels for a while

This is insane. Pretzel quality is a vast spectrum. To a casual observer sure, all pretzels are basically the same. But there’s a reason that observer hasn’t gone pro. It’s not all about the shape or number of twists, literally zero twists are possible and some of the best pretzels I’ve ever reviewed have no shape whatsoever. Utter novice poo poo with the “low ceiling” of quality.

On the other hand, pretzels suck so who can say what quality ceiling they might have?

Elon once again showing his incredible marketing skills by just outright stating that advertising on Twitter is entirely a waste of money after outright stating the ads are annoying and irrelevant. Advertisers absolutely love this!

Nothing a software patch can’t fix though, it’ll be out soon right after the Twitter blue features he promised in November come out. You remember those features right? The one where paying people see only half the ads! This will make advertising on Twitter even more attractive because *insert meme here*.

Coca Cola and apple will be beating down the doors to beg Elon for just a single promoted tweet soon and Elon will whisper “no”

I'll say this: at least the cybertruck is identifiable. The standard Teslas are so loving boring looking. Just the most sedan looking sedans. Even an ugly car is an upgrade to the model Y.

Honestly I'll take that over previous attempts at electric or hybrid vehicles which always looked like someone's art student nephew got awarded the job of designing them and wanted to emphasize how they were the FUTURE!

Thank god most modern ones on offer don't look any more or less stupid than any other car on the road.

I was walking across the parking lot heading into a hardware store today and I nearly got run down by a Tesla that had its front headlight, and curiously ONLY it's font headlight completely smashed in, and my only thought was "Seriously, what is it with Telsas?"

I'm pretty sure nobody really cared about being known for slapping a dumb impact font caption on an image until Ebaumsworld and its ilk (or whatever came before those) started gathering them up and putting watermarks on them. It mostly showed up in response to people who didn't come up with the joke actively trying to take credit for it.

Though I'm sure Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, would be perfectly fine with not taking credit for other people's work.

I've talked to Tesla programmers and they say the coding and sensors are fine the real problem being the average Tesla's natural lust for death and deduction is just to strong. They didn't mean to make a car line of Christine's, but sometimes these things just happen in the car making game. What you gonna do. :shrug:

Lol the latest Twitter files is just Matt taibi complaining that nobody cares about the Twitter files. Unsurprisingly nobody cares about this either but Matt is very upset and thinks it’s a big scandal that people don’t think he’s a good journalist. He saw how pathetic Elon has become and got jealous I guess

Especially because the way twitter is set up if someone says something you think is good or funny, there's several different ways to show you thought so.

Stealing it and taking credit is especially petty.
