minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶

obligatory copypasta

Holy fucking shit. I almost was exposed to a swear word on the Internet by some asshole cunt. That bitch didn't know it's fucking illegal to swear on the Internet. Thank fucking god someone blurred a very small part of there of five letters making it impossible to read the word "shit". I was about to shit a fucking brick.

fuck

edit: @[email protected] took the time to edit it to remove the censor, so I changed the image in the post to that. Thanks!

What I'm about to say is probably the worst horrible take a self-proclaimed sapient lifeform could have, and I never thought I would ever say such a thing, but...

The MTV version fucking sent me and I'm glad a television channel heavily censored it so they could air it

To your comment: not only that, it's a censor of an already censored curse word, "fkn" of course meaning fucking. This is one of the more egregious censors I've ever seen.

It's censored because a very specific country from which a lot of social media comes from has been created by puritans. Which even centuries later, has people repressing such basic things as sex, cursewords, nudity. Including text / graphical filters that will bury your content and show it to noone, if you don't do it.

Bro this started in TikTok which is decidedly Chinese and not Puritan. Though it can be puritanical in the broadest sense.

Agreed, the beginning of the end of involuntary-only censorship happened when Tiktok got popular. The older generations try to find the limits of allowable content on platforms (within reason) but the younger ones effectively self-castrate everything they post everywhere. And it's because one app owned by a Chinese company is a bit strict about it. It's disappointing.

Is it okay if I don't fucking say it but I fucking type it? Shit!

What is the optimum angle to secure such a device for the maximum result? Asking for science.

Also, I wouldn't ever glue/tie/epoxy one of these. I'd do four in various places.

You don't want optimum because then it sounds like a harmonica.

Edit: sorry, fucking harmonica.

Hot-glue some of the holes so they each play a different chord. Maybe some kind of flexible barrier in front could redirect airflow until the vehicle picks up speed so some or all will stay quiet initially.

22

According to the aerodynamics, the front of the vehicle undercarriage would have the highest velocity, decreasing until about the bed where it jumps up slightly and goes back down.

7

It's very handy that some clients embed the harmonica photos and I don't need to open URLs

Wow! They made a harmonica model for Rick Astley to use? I have to click this link now!

Pfft. Nothing works the way it used to. What's an old fart to do?

I've had to bring this up elsewhere, but could we please stop making and reposting unnecessarily censored memes? The obscured word here is 'FKN', not even 'fucking'. This isn't Tiktok, these alterations are kind of gratuitous...

that's kinda disingenous, the thing about censorship is that it's inherently submitting to a higher authority, which for obvious reasons people have started realizing fucking sucks actually.

censoring yourself is giving power to the platforms and people who want to run our lives and make people suffer for their own profit.

If you don't want to swear, don't swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to "f*ck" doesn't accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like "!@#*", now you're just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn't you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

Edit: Oh, and this is missing the original point entirely: the original post said "fkn". That is their freedom of speech. Someone else decided to censor it before sharing. That is not covered under their freedom of speech (well, technically it is, but it's also a clear case of censorship.) If the original post didn't contain any censorable words, that is completely up to the author. But if you share a post and felt the need to inject your personal belief that "fkn" is a no-no word? Nobody asked.

What is your point? You don't want to swear, but you don't not want to swear either? Maybe sort out your beliefs then.

Anybody have a pic of the underside of a Cybertruck? Need to scope out a place with airflow but limited visibility.

There is at least one asshole in my general area who needs a come-uppance.

Unfortunately seems pretty flat, if I recall correctly the bottom of the truck is the battery module

14

Just get a couple neodymium magnets. Hot glue them to the harmonica ahead of time for quick deployment.

Even the undercarriage looks like it hasn't fully loaded into the environment.

I was going to ask if you keep these photos on you for a time like this, but thinking about it this is too common.

David Attenborough or Samuel L. Jackson whichever you choose:

Here, in its natural habitat...the back side of a surban sprawl...The Tesla Cybertruck finds itself in a most vulnerable position. Its angular frame, designed for dominance on the open road, now proves to be its 'greatest' disadvantage. On its back, the beast is utterly helpless, its tires spinning futilely against the air, seeking traction where none exists.

If left unaided, it must rely on the intervention of a benevolent passerby...or, in rare instances, a particularly determined group of MAGA... to restore it to its upright posture.

Nature, as ever, is indifferent to the plight of even the most advanced machines..

Hey, say what you want about cyber truck owners, but at least they're not rolling coal!

Voluntary censorship is just so weird to me... Like, people died so you could speak freely, and yet you censor fkn... Wow.

23

nah it's just a f-u-n harmonica and some of us don't like that.

but fkn is already a way to censor fucking, which is what's f*nny about it.

I wonder if it's just a unicode character that was replacing a weird accent mark instead of a '

Korne127reply
lemmy.world

It doesn't look like a unicode block to me, it goes to deep for that. But I also think that it censored a "k".

Looks like censoring fuck caused too much trouble on my instance. What was the word that got censored?

Cunt being a nuclear curse is mostly just an American thing.

I'll have to try this with a coworker's. He was also auto tech, so it'll have to be hidden well...

I should print an adapter to route some of the intake charge through a harmonica...

Fin. In this model each note is played by a specifically designed fin that resonates on their corresponding frequency.

Can’t comprehend how people think that someone choosing to sensor a curse word is the most egregious thing since the first Nakba.

Who gives a fuck. Some people like to swear and others don’t, the horror.

I would say that with the copy pasta, swearing kind of loses its potency when overused to that extent.

You might be overlooking the undertone of sarcasm in the complaints. No one is actually truly mad or anything, more humorously cynical of it.

I think most of it stems from how half-assed the censorship usually is along with the relative pointlessness considering how common explicit words are on the internet

Uh, I disagree — I think getting on your knees and opening your mouth to swallow whatever rules your corporate overlords have decided you should follow is pretty fucking offensive. Personally.

Jax you rebel, you should show them what you think of censorship by yelling ten times bad word in public. You have my full support, hero. Our fricking free speech is at stake here.

Get in bitch. We are gonna fight corporations one blog post at a time

Because cursing is somehow the same as being mentally deranged in public?

I guess I was trying to make fun of you but it may have been a little too try hardy

No harsh feelings I think I was once like you when I was younger. It’s kind of embarrassing looking back at young self and thinking omg I was so angry and rebellious at such petty things, why was I like this? I don’t know why, I guess such is life
