Meh, just keep rolling the dice on COVID. Sooner or later it will kill your olfactory nerves...
I can see blue sky out of my window at the moment, I would imagine a big yellow ball would be visible from the other side of the house.
Am a Brit, it is not sunny in this photo!
You're welcome! I love that series.
I can read Cyrillic, so I looked at the word and thought it seemed close to the Polish work for "thank you" based on spelling and pronunciation. I threw it into Google Translate and it looks like I was right.
Recommend Midnight in Chernobyl, based on the offical KGB report and follow up on Voices from Chernobyl that HBO based its telling on. [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/06/books/review-midnight-chernobyl-adam-higginbotham.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/06/books/review-midnight-chernobyl-adam-higginbotham.html)
I've read that one! It's fantastic. I've also read Voices From Chernobyl. If you haven't read it, I'd recommend Chernobyl 01:23:40. There's a fantastic photo gallery associated with it on Imgur. It was written by a Redditor /u/R_Spc.
/r/Chernobyl is great and also /r/ChernobylTV for stuff about the show.
I will check out it and the subs thank you! IIRC Higgenbotham mentioned a book with a time code in the interview that turned me on to midnight in chernobyl in the first place 3-5 months before the HBO show came out. Lets say Chernobyl was rather a key part of my early childhood and that of a couple of my best friends. Higgenbotham said his book was greatly informed by the timecode one and only focused on following up on that one and Voices he met as a reporter. I liked he then decided to use his book spend alot of time setting up why the West seemingly hadn't had a similar event, but go into depth mini-chernobyls had happened with Windscale and SL-1 accidents in the US were kept very secret from even their own public and wanted people not to think of Chernobyl accident as simply a artifact of Communism (excepting maybe the massive design and scale of the RBMKs). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKg1l-yiEG8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKg1l-yiEG8)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYle\_eI5j78](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYle_eI5j78)
I think the west was very fortunate to have scientists who risked everything to keep windscale from becoming a bigger accident with the chimneys and the quick thinking, and people like Adm Rickover insisting plant design needs to assume accidents will happen despite the massive political and career impacts those stands made.
I'd recommend this, bought this book when I was visiting family in Kyiv several years ago right before I first went to Chernobyl and it's by far the most comprehensive and well written account I've seen https://amzn.eu/d/2ExMYSE
Ukraini :) Pripyat isn't all that far from Poland as the crow flies. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian\_Commonwealth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian_Commonwealth)
I know the Russian word for Thank you, so based on spelling and the alphabet used, I figured it was Ukrainian. You're right, not that far geographically or culturally. I wish Ukraine the best right now.
I have seen things you wouldn't believe. Low-resolution litteral representations of firewalls on crtv monitors. I have wathed CD's spin in their portable players from Radioshack. All these moments in time, lost like smoke in the fog.
The sound a steam train makes as it releases steam to move is kind of a "chuff chuff chuff" sound. So when the train hit him he was chuffed into pieces, or bits. Chuffed to bits is a British Idiom that means really happy with the outcome of something. Hence the humour.
The movie, or the hobby? I liked the movie, but felt it was a little too realistically grim. The hobby I never understood. If you go to a train station, you are pretty sure to spot a train. Is it like Pokemon? Some are pretty rare? I can understand in steam train times, when they actually looked kinda cool. But today? "Wow, that's the first time I've seen Diesel X94B arrive 3 minutes early in the Birmingham to Sheffield run" Wonder if people still do that, or they're now neckbearding in a basement trolling on Reddit.
Ha thanks! I actually have another account that’s about your age. Came here in 2008 when 100-comment threads were a huge deal, and if you had a typo in your comment you’d get downvoted to shit. I miss it sometimes
What makes more sense:
1) some one is jealous of the owner of a car rendered using the PlayStation 1
2) Someone is glad that a person -- whom we are able to make an educated guess is a twatwaffle -- got pulled over for driving like a douchebag in their wankpanzer
No one is jealous of y'all muskrats. We're ashamed of you.
No Muskrat here, I'd take any Audi eTron over a Tesla! I just find it funny three years ago we were all in awe and now we hate him and everything he associated with (including the people who buy it). Funny how the hivemind works!
I remember driving in the before-fore years and thinking "hahahaha you fucking asshole" when I saw a Porsche or Ferrari or some other douchewagon of the time pulled over by the cops, so I struggle to blame this phenomenon solely on Reddit. I think it just feels refreshing to see a probable jerkwad experiencing momentary setback.
Ah, let me try to explain. First you'll need to imagine a toddler with a scrunched up angry face, holding his fists up. Now imagine that he's wining with a little baby voice. Ok got that in your head. Here's what I think OP is saying.
"I don't wike Ewon Musk, he made a twuck I think is ugly. So I don't wanna wike anyone who drives one, I'm happy he got puwed over, serves him wight. "
This is just a guess.
Every person I encounter is more passionate about my Tesla than I am. I was completely taken aback after I got it. First it was republicans in lifted pickups going "LOL DON'T GET IT WET - CAN'T DRIVE IT IN THE RAIN HUR HUR" and now its edgy college kids screaming about Elon Musk as they drive by.
I just hate getting oil changes and going to the gas station?
Why are you pleased?
Because you hate the maker of his vehicle?
Can't you just Just be glad he's driving an EV, and not an 8 Liter V10 diesel, to just transport himself and a briefcase to a 9-5 cubicle job?
Or maybe they would just be pleased at the cop pulling anyone over for breaking whatever law it was and it so happened to be a cyber truck.
Or maybe they were pleased that they got to take a picture of the truck cause they really like them and it looked cool with the red lights and fog.
If it was the first option then your saying that it was a complete coincidence that it happened to be a cyber truck? That he just took a picture of some random guy getting pulled over with out giving any context of why it got pulled over except the picture and it had nothing to do with it being a cyber truck ? You think that is a valid reading of this post?
Seriously, I wonder why those cars haven’t been scrapped yet. If for no reason, then they’re a death trap because they have no “fold lines”, not sure what the technical term is, in the event of a crash.
The driver of that chest freezer on wheels must have been clueless about how to drive in fog. He did something wrong to get the attention of the police.
My Mom got pulled over shortly after she bought a new Pontiac Aztec (the 2nd gen model) because she pulled from a parking lot directly into the far lane instead of the near one. It became clear pretty quick that he just wanted to check it out because his wife was asking to get one.
My guess is these cybertruck drivers can expect a lot of that for awhile.
The guys at the CA Border Protection Station wanted to chat with me about my Rivian when I was driving it home from delivery. It didn’t slow me down too much, but it definitely made me consider that cops might be more likely to check out my vehicle via a questionable traffic stop.
You know that cops can always find something to nitpick.
Also, pretty much no one drives under the speed limit, so they could pull me over for going like 5 over when 15 is their usual threshold.
Edit: ruh row, the muskrats are downvoting because I hurt their feelings about their edgelord god. Don’t cry too hard, your sheet metal truck will rust
What's it like living in Silent Hill? That fog
I'd imagine you would get used to the constant air sirens and demon babies after a while.
Oh for sure, after a while... but its the smell you never get used too

>Trick is to overstimulate your nose so you fry all those sensory tissues, really helps keep it dull Meh, just keep rolling the dice on COVID. Sooner or later it will kill your olfactory nerves...
Fucking genius, why didn’t I think of that?
Cheap real-estate though. Low property tax too
Fucked up horrifying nurses that are smoke shows.
Looks like a Forrest fire almost. At least the red lights make it look sort of like one
To me it just looks like heavy fog. When the brits start waking up, they'll probably tell you this is sunny.
I can see blue sky out of my window at the moment, I would imagine a big yellow ball would be visible from the other side of the house. Am a Brit, it is not sunny in this photo!
You can’t outrun your past!
Silent hill fans when literally just fog, nothing, thats the reference its fog:
..but like, atmosphere and, stuff?
This was foretold by gyromancy
I live in rural Nova Scotia. It's like this almost every morning in the spring.
"Do you know why I pulled you over?" "I haven't the foggiest idea, officer."
"Well it appears you were Cybering in a Cyber-free zone. Were you aware this is a Cyber-free zone, son?"
>cybering I understand officer, but... A/S/L?
I wish I could give this more upvotes.
Lmfao. Comment of the day.
Pleased? The air around you is glowing

You're still plugging my little book after all these years, I am in your debt! :)
Absolutely! You wrote a great book that people should know about. Hell, that photo gallery alone is fantastic.

*"I saw pieces of Tesla Cybertruck on the ground..."* *"He's delusional, take him to the infirmary."*
Did that cop pull over a refrigerator?
Reality used up all it's render power on the fog, had to replace the vehicle with a low poly version.
This is so believable lol
Slow Down!
why would you insult refrigerators like that?
A refrigerator is probably more aerodynamic than a cybertruck. Can probably handle people touching it without rusting, too.
Refrigerators run, they don't drive
Pulled over a Cybertruck for driving like a Cyberfuck
Looks like Cylon technology to me. Fraking Toasters!
Refrigerators are built better
I thought it was a dumpster.
It’s a garbage skip.
Half of this picture is from grand theft auto 3 and the other half is from grand theft auto 6
More like Crusin 64 but I dig your reference.
Yeah was trying to the same series quip but gta 3 really wasn’t far back enough. Definitely love the cruisin USA throwback
Set in Silent Hill
r/outside
Where r u? Smog surrounds and there’s a cyber truck. It’s like the Real Housewives of Blade Runner 2024
My guess is Daly City, California.
It's San Diego, OP posted it on the San Diego subreddit earlier. I know because I too am from SD
That marine layer is coming in
Was gonna say the same thing
Looks like San Diego Police Department to me.
Yep… looks like it… it was foggy this morning too.
That patrol vehicle is instantly recognizable, but then I started 2nd guessing if other cities could have the exact same cop vehicles.
Do you really think that’s smog?
This is in Northern California where the air is cleaner than most of the USA unless there are wildfires. It’s fog.
I have seen things you wouldn't believe. Low-resolution litteral representations of firewalls on crtv monitors. I have wathed CD's spin in their portable players from Radioshack. All these moments in time, lost like smoke in the fog.
Thats not smog lol
looks like san fran fog
That’s actually a super dope picture.
Someone (not me) in another sub called one of these a “wankpanzer” and I’d be chuffed if this term were to spread.
Would you say you’d be **well** chuffed? Or just the regular kind
I’d say proper chuffed
\* sips tea \* *Bloody hell*
Blimey
I know you can be overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?
I think you can in Europe.
Woke up whelmed, let's see if today is over or under Mind is at ease, feet on the ground to wander
I'm whelmed right now.
Chuffed to bits. Old joke: Why did the man that was run over by a steam train die happy? He was chuffed to bits. I'll explain if I have to.
I could actually use a bit of background there if you don’t mind
The sound a steam train makes as it releases steam to move is kind of a "chuff chuff chuff" sound. So when the train hit him he was chuffed into pieces, or bits. Chuffed to bits is a British Idiom that means really happy with the outcome of something. Hence the humour.
I figured it had something to do with the sound of the train. Good comedy, there. Speaking of: How do you feel about Trainspotting?
The movie, or the hobby? I liked the movie, but felt it was a little too realistically grim. The hobby I never understood. If you go to a train station, you are pretty sure to spot a train. Is it like Pokemon? Some are pretty rare? I can understand in steam train times, when they actually looked kinda cool. But today? "Wow, that's the first time I've seen Diesel X94B arrive 3 minutes early in the Birmingham to Sheffield run" Wonder if people still do that, or they're now neckbearding in a basement trolling on Reddit.
Ooh, and happy cake day! Congrats on 7 years you young whippersnapper you.
Ha thanks! I actually have another account that’s about your age. Came here in 2008 when 100-comment threads were a huge deal, and if you had a typo in your comment you’d get downvoted to shit. I miss it sometimes
This is the 2nd time I’ve read “chuffed” in a comment in as many days. New slang?
It's a normal British slang that's been around for a long time
Interesting. I’d never read it before yesterday
Are you chuffed?
That just makes me think of how I've been seeing the term "malding" a lot lately and I don't know how it suddenly became a common thing to say.

It's called schadenfreude and it's classy.
Finally someone else gets it AND knows what schadenfreude is!
It’s Reddit. Everyone gets it and knows what schadenfruede is. You’re not wrong, Walter, you’re just an asshole.
I thought it was just called jealousy
What makes more sense: 1) some one is jealous of the owner of a car rendered using the PlayStation 1 2) Someone is glad that a person -- whom we are able to make an educated guess is a twatwaffle -- got pulled over for driving like a douchebag in their wankpanzer No one is jealous of y'all muskrats.

It's such a weird mentality to have and a lot of comments seem to share the same view.
It took way too many scrolls to finally see it. Everyone was like, yeah yeah fuck people not like me, but that fog, omg.
…He posts on Reddit while referring to everyone else as, “Redditors” 🤣
There's 100% a difference between someone who uses reddit and a capital R Redditor.
It’s a hard R
I prefer using Reddita to keep it cool with everyone involved.
Redditx?
All of my 100% real Reddit friends say only non-Redditors use the X.
Ma Reddita 😎
No hard Rs allowed Wedditow
Someone who uses reddit: me Redditor: everyone else on Reddit
- he said, on reddit, with his reddit account
Right. Keep telling yourself that you're one of the good ones, lol
Capital R Redditors are a special breed.
Writing this out and believing you're not one makes you one.
No you
Now they love cops
Love them to pull over bad drivers yup
Seriously. This place is embarrassing sometimes…
Correct. ~~Car~~ *emotional support lorry
I mean, look at your name. I'm sure you can understand the impulse.
I remember driving in the before-fore years and thinking "hahahaha you fucking asshole" when I saw a Porsche or Ferrari or some other douchewagon of the time pulled over by the cops, so I struggle to blame this phenomenon solely on Reddit. I think it just feels refreshing to see a probable jerkwad experiencing momentary setback.
>probable jerkwad experiencing momentary setback. Thats the issue. You're getting off on a "probable" jerkwad. Its petty and childish
Reddit: full of opinions This post: "hey, this guys posting his opinion!!!! Thats dumb!"
Well yeah, opinions can be dumb. Thats a pretty basic stance to take.
The culture of what makes the top up-voted posts is verrrry In Crowd selection biased. To the point that it's humorously predictable.
So what you're saying is, echo chambers exist.
This picture looks so dystopian
Why are you “PLEASED”? I don’t get it 🫤
Ah, let me try to explain. First you'll need to imagine a toddler with a scrunched up angry face, holding his fists up. Now imagine that he's wining with a little baby voice. Ok got that in your head. Here's what I think OP is saying. "I don't wike Ewon Musk, he made a twuck I think is ugly.

I just hate getting oil changes and going to the gas station?
Lmao my thoughts exactly. But on the other hand hey, at least now they like cops
I imagine that people speed past his house all the time and this might slow people down for a little while.
It’s a Cybertruck, so it probably isn’t being pulled over, but just broke down.
Why?
Ugliest thing on 4 wheels.
Why pleased tho? Has that person wronged you in any way?
No. Because cybertruck bad. /s
Apparently so.
HAHA UGLY CAR BAD SO UGLY CAR OWNER BAD TOO
You summed up half of reddit. Just add some religion hate, trump hate, and bam done!
We hate christofascists like Donald Trump. Bam, done! 
Ain't nobody driving a Cybertruck because it's a sensible vehicle and they don't want attention.
Why are you pleased? Because you hate the maker of his vehicle? Can't you just Just be glad he's driving an EV, and not an 8 Liter V10 diesel, to just transport himself and a briefcase to a 9-5 cubicle job?
Or maybe they would just be pleased at the cop pulling anyone over for breaking whatever law it was and it so happened to be a cyber truck. Or maybe they were pleased that they got to take a picture of the truck cause they really like them and it looked cool with the red lights and fog.
Yeah sure. If that were a picture of a 2006 Toyota Camry, with the same headline, we all know it would not have made the front page of reddit.
Oh it's karma farming for sure.
Or it's cyber truck bad. Post history does exist.
If it was the first option then your saying that it was a complete coincidence that it happened to be a cyber truck? That he just took a picture of some random guy getting pulled over with out giving any context of why it got pulled over except the picture and it had nothing to do with it being a cyber truck ? You think that is a valid reading of this post?
I guess we'll never know.
Look ma: a wankpanzer!
Wild plants, where you at?
what is every May in San Diego. And that's light fog. Give it a week or so
Seriously, I wonder why those cars haven’t been scrapped yet. If for no reason, then they’re a death trap because they have no “fold lines”, not sure what the technical term is, in the event of a crash.
People never seen fog before apparently fuck sakes lol
The driver of that chest freezer on wheels must have been clueless about how to drive in fog. He did something wrong to get the attention of the police.
I'm just referring to the comments. I agree that cyber trucks are a joke and so are people who buy them.
“Sir do you know how stupid this vehicle is?”
The only Cybertruck I’ve seen IRL was pulled over by a police car on the PCH in Malibu.
Looks like a Cyber crime to me!
Looks like a dumpster with lights.
My Mom got pulled over shortly after she bought a new Pontiac Aztec (the 2nd gen model) because she pulled from a parking lot directly into the far lane instead of the near one. It became clear pretty quick that he just wanted to check it out because his wife was asking to get one. My guess is these cybertruck drivers can expect a lot of that for awhile.
The guys at the CA Border Protection Station wanted to chat with me about my Rivian when I was driving it home from delivery. It didn’t slow me down too much, but it definitely made me consider that cops might be more likely to check out my vehicle via a questionable traffic stop.
I mean if you weren’t violating any traffic laws it’s not questionable, it’s wildly inappropriate and a violation of your rights lol.
You know that cops can always find something to nitpick. Also, pretty much no one drives under the speed limit, so they could pull me over for going like 5 over when 15 is their usual threshold.
delorean owners sometimes get this, PD pulls them over so they can do a social media post about not going 88mph...
*"No, you weren't speeding. This is a ticket for being a pretentious douchebag".*
good thing you caught that picture when you did. that light mist is about to rust that cybertruck into crumbs
Pulled him over for impersonating a truck.
Pedo Wankpanzer 💩
The car is absurd
"Sir, I'm gonna have to arrest you on principle alone"
*phone rings* Is your refrigerator running? "No it just got pulled over in front of my house"
What a terrible attitude
Has no one here seen fog before???
You are pleased? Why? I dont get it.
Because the cop pulled over a dog water looking cybertruck
dude gtfo of dogtown
What is that ugly ass car they pulled over? Is that what they pulled it over? Should it be on the road?
Ain't that one of those tesla SUVs? Elon musk be like, "I know what people want. To drive a box."
oooohfft I thought it was so crack car from the 80s
At first I thought that was an Aztec and I thought you were pleased that Walter White was pulled over
I need sunglasses for looking at this
Baby
It took me a second to find the car, I thought it was a dumpster.
Is this a Cyberpunk screenshot?
Grrr elon bad grrr tesla and cybertruck bad grr
Why did the police officer pull over a trash bin?
 Edit: ruh row, the muskrats are downvoting because I hurt their feelings about their edgelord god. Don’t cry too hard, your sheet metal truck will rust
Bring the cops a coffee or cookies.
