Turns out you can polish a turd.

FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee · 10 months

Mythbusters proved that.

A far less gross episode than the one where they made candles from earwax.

Brave Little Hitachi Wand@lemmy.world · 10 months

It’s called dorodango and it’s art

Risky search of the day, pfew!

Brave Little Hitachi Wand@lemmy.world · 10 months

Proud of you, boo

JayleneSlide@lemmy.world · 10 months

If this is real and setting aside the steaming pile that is the Cybertruck… The effort required to polish that much stainless steel to that level of finish is astounding.

Poor taste but amazing execution!

BobTheDestroyer@lemm.ee · 10 months

I doubt it’s polished. It’s probably a mirror wrap. Much cheaper and less effort.

JayleneSlide@lemmy.world · 10 months

Ah, yeah, that makes way more sense. TIL mirror wrap is a thing.

mriswith@lemmy.world · 10 months

There’s a company that does mirror polishes of them. I remember seeing a clip from some car show. They’d done a dozen or something, and it was mainly a guy just sitting there using an angle grinder and a big buffer/polishing wheel.

neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works · 10 months

Was going to mention this as well. There’s definitely companies out there who do exactly this sort of mirror polish on cybertrucks.

Which means this roadside hazard can be fixed with sandpaper

anomnom@sh.itjust.works · 10 months

Part of the repair instructors of the original Delorean was to use a specific Scotchbrite/brillo type pad to reapply the texture after buffing.

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 10 months

People definitely have polished one of these to a mirror shine though. It looked awesome.

ThePantser@sh.itjust.works · 10 months

I would totally drive into that thing and claim I was blinded by the sun. It’s so fucking illegal.

Match!!@pawb.social · 10 months

Crash into it on an e-scooter and total it

MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml · 10 months

Can that legally drive tho?

xor@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 months

according to my research: no, you can’t have anything more reflective than a normal window, except specific colored reflectors in particular spots and regular car mirrors.
state laws vary though…
i was looking into mirrored windows and no, not allowed.

muusemuuse@lemm.ee · 10 months

I thought someone tried this with a delorean a while back and it was illegal.

Jimmycakes@lemmy.world · 10 months

Probably a cops car

Diddlydee@feddit.uk · 10 months

I like it.

You can look yourself in the eye as you approach and think ‘why am I going anywhere near this comedy fall-apart clown death car?’

NotAGamer@lemmy.org · 10 months

The shiniest dumpster.

Hjalmar@feddit.nu · 10 months

This looks a whole lot cooler than the standard cybertruck

KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee · 10 months

Now they’re obnoxious AND they glare.

HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 10 months

This is some fucked up Wile e coyote shit

Seeeeeenntt@lemm.ee · 9 months

Is that for chopping up lines of K?

mojofrododojo@lemmy.world · 9 months
