Best truck nuts I've ever seen were two large hex nuts (i.e., for a bolt - but a very large bolt - the bolt would have had to have been an inch/2.5 cm in diameter, at least) hanging from the hitch. Wish I'd taken a picture, it was hilarious.

Oh I've been looking for an excuse to post this.

You thought regular truck nutz were bad? Well wait until you see the XL version!

I wanna put nuts on my Ford Fiesta and then glue a Chance to the undercarriage so it also has a huge dick.

A thing has nuts.

You ride it.

Sounds gay.

A thing has nuts.

You get inside it.

Also works for tops :)

I love how people get pissed off at truck nuts. Just ignore it if you don't like them.

[–] Two2Tango@lemmy.ca 1 points 36 minutes ago

There are stereotypes of certain personalities who'd attach nuts to their truck, and people are choosing to be associated with them by installing truck nuts. It doesn't mean they fit the stereotype, they might be nice normal people who do it for their own reasons. But public perception is they think nuts hanging off a truck is funny (dumb) or manly (cringe).

Sharing my view with a troll who doesn't care 🤷‍♀️

[–] MoogleMaestro@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 hours ago

I mean, I think a lot of us aren't pissed off about it but think it looks stupid as fuck. And like, that's just my opinion man.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't get pissed off about it. It projects small dick energy. It makes me laugh that all these beta males are driving around in transgender trucks.

[–] ntma@lemm.ee -5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, your unhinged rant totally makes you sound calm and not angry.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

The funny thing is that saying something is unhinged doesn't make it so any more than saying that someone is angry makes it so. You're reading your own emotiins into interactions with other people. That's unhelpful and unhealthy. You should consider not doing that.

[–] ntma@lemm.ee -1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Bro you're projecting small dick energy. I'm literally laughing at your beta male mental gymnastics.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

"I know you are but what am I?"

Dude, that's fucking pathetic.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Or you could just ignore those people yourself, but I don't think anyone is pissed off at truck nuts. They're just tacky. Anyways you'll probably hate this episode of the dollop: https://omny.fm/shows/the-dollop-with-dave-anthony-and-gareth-reynolds/361-the-truck-nuts-war-live-in-phoenix

[–] ntma@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine how insane you have to be to do an entire podcast on truck nuts because they offend you. It's like when conservatives get all pissy when someone says happy holidays instead of merry Christmas

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 4 hours ago

Well, it's a very serious subject

Lead kills at high speed, at low speed and it turns trucks gay....ok got it all written down. Now. Let's talk about why all trucks come with a prolapsed anus and why Elon wants to remove that too

[–] DillyDaily@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Gay lead; when being a stone top just isn't hard enough.

Never thought about it, but modes of transport are usually referred to as she/her, so this totally checks out.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 5 points 10 hours ago (3 children)

Machinery of any kind is often gendered in the feminine. Particularly when you are either mad at the machine for not working or you are begging it to work.

[–] Malfeasant@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Always cracked me up when my uncle would yell at whatever he was working on, "come on, you whore!"

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Well, that seems pretty mild. Having been a toolmaker, I have often threatened machines with being reduced to tiny little chips or slag and I will create something better from scratch.

[–] Bertuccio@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

"mad at the machine for not working or you are begging it to work"

[–] nforminvasion@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The machine spirit cares not for our trifling concepts of gender and binaries. It demands only loyalty to the omnissiah and purity of mind.

[–] bluewing@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

The machine spirit cares not for your loyalty. It only wants to grind YOUR spirit into dust while destroying your mind. Cthulhu trembles in fear.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 36 points 1 day ago

N-n-nuh uh! It was always a guy, I just helped reveal that truth!

(Whoosh)

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

Because that's what it means to be a MAN! Bolting fake testicles onto your truck.

Bunch of striving, alpha-male wannabe, Oakley-wearing Thumb heads.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 day ago (3 children)

To be fair, all trucks probably come with many nuts (and bolts) by default, so what's 2 more?

I have a hitch receiver on my sedan. I've been tempted to get a set for it because I think it'd be funny.

Edit: I've also thought about taking it a step further. My car also has a wiring harness for trailer lights. What if I drill in some red/yellow LED's into the nuts so they'll light up when I brake or use the blinker?

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 38 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (12 children)

They're illegal in my ~~country~~ county, but I have seriously considered seeing if I could find a vagina to go there instead, since they're not covered in the law.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (7 children)

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!
