Does that mean you can get insurance to cover the purchase of a pair of truck nuts?

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

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

THEY'RE PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE GASOLINE THAT TURN THE FRIGGIN TRUCKS GAY

It works hard, it plays hard.

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.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 33 points 13 hours ago

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

(Whoosh)

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 13 points 12 hours ago

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

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

Wait until you hear about genetics

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago

I don't think trucks have those

[-] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

They keep them right next to the automotive gender reassignment theatres.

[-] athairmor@lemmy.world 39 points 15 hours ago

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

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 34 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

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 18 points 14 hours ago

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

[-] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 hours ago

Whoops, autocorrect. Meant "county" not "country"

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

What county CAN make truck nuts illegal? If you’re in the US I feel like that’s a first amendment violation.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago

My guess would be most of them. Based on nothing.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

I'm pretty sure they're illegal where I am too. I think they were considered obscene or vulgar. To be fair, some of them are made to look exactly like a scrotum. That might be too far.

Reminds me of the old gif of that woman skydiving naked

[-] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 5 points 11 hours ago

Jesus Christ. 🤣

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com 5 points 14 hours ago

Alternatively, you could put a cowbell on it, it's not obscene, but it's just as red neck.

[-] OpenStars@discuss.online 8 points 13 hours ago

It doesn't work, bc no matter how many you put on, it always needs more cowbell.

[-] Kaboom@reddthat.com 2 points 6 hours ago

The first day you attach one cowbell.

The second you attach two more cowbells.

The third you attach four more cowbells.

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 15 points 15 hours ago

Nuts? Like in anaphylactic shock nuts? I don't get it

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 44 points 15 hours ago

There's a thing called truck nuts. It's a rubber ballsack that hangs from the trailer hitch.

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 43 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

No way. You're making it up

Edit: OMG why didn't I die before knowing that

[-] jballs@sh.itjust.works 17 points 12 hours ago

It's always good to witness a lucky 10,000 situation

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 17 points 14 hours ago

The two men sold Truck Nuts through the late 1990s and 2000s, competing both in the market and in private, exchanging angry phone calls and emails. This conflict escalated into public relations wars, social media conflicts, posts on review sites, blog attack posts, and finally to legal cease and desist orders. Vice News published an article about the feud titled "Balls Out: The Weird Story of the Great Truck Nuts War".

I am so not surprised

[-] ramble81@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

That was step 1. Step 2 is the fact that now you’ll see them everywhere.

[-] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

I don't live in the US, so probably no

[-] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Gender assignment surgery

They would probably be against that too though

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 6 points 12 hours ago

Nah, they love GAS

[-] mrslt@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

It's true. We didn't make the rules.

[-] XaiwahBlue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 hours ago

Buuuut having them on your truck makes "deez nutz" jokes funnier!

I guess if the person knows about the truck nuts, that is.

Or if you're at your truck when you make the joke...
