  • Bible stories are the same way, we’ve just heard them a million times so they don’t seem weird

    “Hey Jesus what toppings do you want for pizza?”

    “Plain with cheese”

    Later the disciples are eating pizza with Jesus

    "“Hey Jesus why did you say you like cheese pizza when you normally order pepperoni?”

    “You dumb fucks how dare you not understand my hidden meaning, I am the true pizza and you are the pepperoni, the grease is my blood”

    “Oh of course, sorry boss”


  • Bear in mind this is almost entirely caused by the stupidity of the American consumer. You can also lease cars like you’re describing, and you can also buy a used Honda Civic for under $20k that will last you forever and you can get loans on more reasonable terms. People just don’t do those because they see they can get a really nice car for an “affordable” monthly price and get stars in their eyes.



  • At least in the US people routinely get predatory loans for cars with super long terms to make the monthly payment lower. A base model cybertruck is “only” like $70k so at 7.3% APR and a 7 year loan you can get that down to $900 a month, which is still a lot of money but some people make bad financial decisions of this level all the time, and I would imagine the people who would buy a cubertruck are more likely to be in this group than not.

    Lmao this is how old chemical plants are too. Give people 50 years of maintenance and expansion on an old plant and shit starts looking organic like this because new pipes and valves need to go in but have to be fit in and around everything that’s already there. New plants look very neatly laid out, old plants look like this lmao.
