Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion


This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Maybe it’s the retro-futuristic style or reminiscent of sci-fi and cyperpunk, but I genuinely really like the design.

I would never buy one due to the MYRIAD issues plaguing the stainless steel body, interior build quality, or give Tesla money. But still a cool looking car, if nonfunctional truck.

That's disgusting. Upvoted.

raccoons' reaction seeing a cybertruck:

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

It looks like garbage. In like every way. And I'm a car guy. It's not political. It's a big old pile of "not worth 120". I can buy two Toyotas with more satisfaction in style and performance.

I've heard dudes in maga hats say it's fugly.

So truly unpopular, have an orange arrow.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

the aesthetic is fine if it were like 40% smaller

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip -5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

They really aren't that big though, parked next to my Tacoma is not much larger.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

your Tacoma is huge too..

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think this says more about how oversized the Tacoma and other pickups are than it does about the cybertruck

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip -2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean, it's really not. It's a second gen and small compared to most pickups.

[–] causepix@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Most pickups are far larger than their use cases call for

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip -1 points 6 days ago

Tacomas are not that.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

They should have made it look like the truck from Halo.

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 1 points 6 days ago

I like the way they cool. Too bad about everything else.

[–] barfplanet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My 2yo daughter saw one in a parking lot and said "that one's magic."

[–] aedelred@lemmy.world 160 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Upvote because that truly is an unpopular opinion from what I’ve seen and I think they make the Pontiac Aztec look classy.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

The Aztec was also a huge disappointment in that the concept car design and features were outstanding but very different from what was eventually delivered

They make PT Cruisers look like a sick ride.

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago

Fuck, I had drive one for work for years. Uncomfortable as shit, never broke down or anything though.

Meanwhile, in actual Cyberpunk media. I disagree with you so hard that I deeply regret I only have one upvote to give. Well done.

Have you seen one in person? They look... Not great in pictures, but like... Passable as a curiosity. In person? Monstrous and ugly as fuck. Also the bare steel is just a horrible choice.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

It's all about scale. If it were a classic pickup size it wouldn't be so horrible. However, it's a monster modern truck size, and it looks horrible.
