It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The design is based on an old Mac game about designing cars, the Cybertruck's profile shape is apparently the design that gave the highest score in wind tunnel tests in game.

It's Gen X nostalgia obscura.

Okay, I'll bite.

Is there any truth to that in real life?

From a cursory bing image search, the most aerodynamic car on the market is:

Which, yeah, because it looks like an aerofoil. Looks like a cyber truck but closer to the ground and uses rounded edges. And also much lighter.

So yeah, the CT would be moderately aerodynamic, but would be better if it wasn't rendered on a 1982 Apple II computer.

Still love the truck though!
