      from the tardygrade’s perspective is it playing a large violin or a normal-sized cello?

        Size-wise, relative to him, it’s much closer to a violin than a cello, maybe slightly larger. So a viola would be the best fit. I think the picture is of a cello though, just sized strangely.

        Edit: that image is strange. It’s really popular, but bad. He’s playing the strings from the wrong side of the bridge. How do you get that wrong?

          Because of the size difference between humans and tardigrades, it’s hard for tardigrades to attend music lessons and otherwise learn about human musical instruments, so give him a chance, he’s probably trying his best.

          It’s impressive enough that a creature without thumbs is able to hold the bow in the first place, and you want to criticise him for how he’s holding his cellolin?

    “I can’t give this thing away.” - Guy who is asking $89,000 for a used vehicle that now sells new for $72,500.

    Don’t buy vehicles from a company led by an unstable Nazi CEO, dipshit.

      Also, “give away” typically means $0. $89000 is to the best of my knowledge larger than $0. I’ll bet he could give it away, but he doesn’t want to do that.

          Going from $89k to “give it away” is not exaggeration, it’s whiny pissboy bullshittery.

        “giving it away” can also mean selling it cheap.

        Edit: damn I’m not defending this price, just explaining the metaphorical phrase. Chill yall

          I am giving away the chance to read this comment. Since you have already done so, where should I send the $89,000 bill? Or are you thieving scum?

    “can’t give this thing away unless I lower the price to probably $79k. Sucks.”

    A brand new AWD CT from Tesla is $79,990.

    Headline is clickbait. Seller is a whinger. Trash all round. Saved you a click.

        I believe it means “whiner”. As in one who whines and complains.

        I don’t know where @CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net hails, but I just know this because I am a dad, which means I watch Bluey, and sometimes the dad on Bluey will tell the kids to “quit whinging”.

    The Cybertruck owner listed his truck for sale for $89,000.

    The same dual-motor Cybertruck AWD variant now starts at $80,000. However, starting in 2025, the vehicle qualifies for the $7,500 point of sale tax credit. This further lowers the starting price to $72,500.

    Tesla is also now offering a $2,000 discount to anyone who applies a referral code when buying the vehicle. That further lowers the starting price to $70,500.

    LOLOL.

    Everyone expects top dollar for used shit these days.

      This fucking article goes on 3 more paragraphs after that about how great the current offerings from Tesla are. Feels like the whole thing is just a Cybertruck sales puff piece in disguise.
