This taught me absolutely nothing about B2B sales!

Why is no one asking about the bus with no wheels?!

[–] ReasonablePea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ha I had to double take but it looks like they're just recessed in the wheel well

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 23 hours ago

And blurred out with whatever is in the bottom left of the picture. Could also be a composite.

If I had that kind of money, I'd buy ruined, exploited land just to restore it; regrow a clearcut forest for instance. Then just give it back to the native tribe who lived there centuries ago. I have always wished I could do that.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

In prince george they did this like 3 years ago. Gave a huge chunk of forest back to natives. They clearcut it that summer. You can easily see the scar on satellite view. Under capitalism, all humans will exploit nature if they have the technology to do so and race means nothing.

As someone with a similar goal that I actually think I will achieve, that land will hopefully never leave my family and be protected forever. We already own two huge chunks of land on the eastern slopes of the rockies which used to be cleared for cattle and is currently regrowing.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nice, this is exactly why a forest has no car seats. Go achieve your life goals

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Wait, does that mean his actions will make him zero friends? Not even the tribe!? That kinda sucks.

[–] vandsjov@feddit.dk 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You could always donate money to organisations that do these things. Or use alternative search engines that use profit to support nature. I use Ecosia that plant trees and do other things to have a positive climate impact.

But being able to be Bruce Wayne and save a village in South America would also be a sweet deal.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or I could do the work myself. Donating to charity is just throwing money at the rich.

[–] 5too@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Depends on the charity.

Also, surely there's volunteer organizations where you can spend time doing that?

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

Are they gonna give the land back to the native people? When can I find the time?

[–] Tillman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Cool idea, this car can be leased for a couple gs a month, what you’re proposing would take a lot of money. This car is for crypto bros who share a condo in Miami.

Where I live there are initiatives that preserve forests by allowing people to buy square meters. It's only a few hundred euros.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 122 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Notice the implied and unquestioned assumption that “life goals” means accumulating resources and not building relationships or contributing to society. In fact, it’s expected that personal relationships and societal responsibilities shall be neglected in the quest for resources.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Your life can be so much better if you get over the notion of having to own things. Almost every luxury out there can be enjoyed without having to own it, as long as you're able to discard the consumerist propaganda that you've not enjoyed it properly unless you can take it home.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Aka take joyrides in other people's Lambos, then ditch the car, but NOT AT YOUR HOME.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah, and I think that is tied to a subconscious need for good things to be permanent.

I think that truly internalizing the temporary nature of literally everything is an important part of getting to the mindset you’re talking about.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago

If this wasn't 2025 I would have thought this image was satire it's so overtly toxic and stupid.

Yet here we are.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You won't be accumulating anything without building vital relationships.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, that's why Elon Musk is well known for his ability to form and maintain many meaningful relationships...

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

For sure, but there is a vast spectrum of what can constitute a “relationship.” There are many transactional relationships that are absolutely vital to accumulating resources, even for ordinary working people. But being necessary for survival doesn’t mean they are what will bring you fulfillment in life.

A lot of people I've seen in Lamborghini cars aren't serious about their lives. They're spoiled idiots who lucked out and got a ton of money handed to them and are driving it around to show off how much money they have as if they deserved it.

[–] RowRowRowYourBot@sh.itjust.works 95 points 2 days ago (24 children)

I have a buddy who wanted a Ferrari and a Lambo since they were a kid. They finally got to the point where they bought the Ferrari only to realize he has a wife and kid. The kid can’t safely ride in the Ferrari for 12+ years and he can’t fit 3 people in the car so he sold it. These aren’t cars for people with normal lives.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 27 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I'm an enthusiast with no kids (and a vasectomy to make sure it stays that way) and I've driven both around a track. Glad to have done it once, but I'm not in any hurry to do it again. Wouldn't buy either one over my Miata.

Supercars are vastly overrated.

[–] PagPag@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Miata Is Always The Answer

I'd have so many friends if I had a Lamborghini bus 🤔

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 day ago (7 children)

You will lose my friendship when you waste a bunch of money on a lambo.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Get a Toyota and use the savings to take all your friends on vacation

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 17 hours ago

Or, like take your family on vacation or anything else more useful than a fancy car. Build memories rather than flaunting wealth.

It's also a weight decision. If you bring five American friends along, you just doubled the weight of the car.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 day ago (3 children)

People who are serious about life value long term benefit over short term material goods. Public transportation is a public good for all and in the long term will save you a ton of money.

I listened to a really interesting podcast the other day about how the current online alpha male culture, the kind we see propagated by Andrew Tate and co, actually emphasizes an incredibly lonely existence. It’s almost hermitical. Whereas masculinity in the 80’s up through the 2000’s or so was about getting rich, partying in incredibly conspicuous ways, and getting laid all the time.

This lambo meme (first part) falls right in line with the Tate mentality for sure. There are people who read that and go “yes, that sounds great.”

[–] RadicalEagle@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think the current online alpha male culture is a marketing tool meant to validate the antisocial beliefs of potential customers in order to convert them into paying customers.

I dunno, the bus I drive costs more than double what that car costs.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I mean, I'm a taxpayer so kind of lol

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 days ago (1 children)

man, those guilt coping posts. maybe just do the right thing, so you don't need to make up bullshit to feel good

[–] Szewek@lemm.ee 32 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You mean just take the bus?

If you need a meme to feel good about your decisions, then maybe make better decisions.

I fucking hate people that act like they escaped the matrix because they drive a personally owned vehicle.

Like wow you're really showing us public transit welfare queens what true independence looks like, gripping a steering wheel in a vehicle they can only legally operate with a government-issued license, on a road built and maintained by the government, cleared of snow by government workers driving government-owned trucks, fueled by government-subsidized oil, and parked in government-funded lots. Let’s not forget they had to go to a government building, talk to a government employee, and pay a government fee just for the privilege of registering their car — which they’re also legally required by the government to insure. And after all that bureaucratic red tape and recurring fees, they have the audacity to act like they're the icons of self-sufficiency. The cherry on top? If their precious symbol of ‘independence’ breaks down, the government isn’t going to help — they get to shoulder the repair costs entirely on their own.

Meanwhile, I swipe a card once a month and get access to a system that moves people efficiently, doesn’t ask for my blood type, and doesn’t require me to pour thousands into maintenance and paperwork — and I’m the one supposedly suckling at the teat of Big Government?

Ok.
