Or a raccoon with a crowbar
Only a good raccoon with a crowbar can stop a bad raccoon with a crowbar.
No such thing as a bad raccoon with a crowbar
Or a racoon with a heavy steel ball.
Or a raccoon with a machine gun
This image feels like its from fucking Crestline.
Or a cane-wielding racoon with a long family history of breaking into stuff.
Or a crow with a racoonbar.
Bro do you want to start Planet of the Racoons?! Don't give them any ideas
I mean, now that you say it. A little bit.
A crowbar can seriously damage pretty much any vehicle. Nobody believes Elon's promise that it would be sturdy as a tank. Out of all Cybertruck failures, lack of prying protection is one of the least concerning.
That section is a rubber like section to seal the gate against the tonneau cover. Not surprising at all that paws and teeth can tear it.
I trained them to do that! I'm so proud of them
(I continue to give others permission to recycle this joke and tell as many people they can they're training Raccoons to break into Cybertrucks in the hopes we can eventually convince Elon Musk its true)
Elon is a level 7 susceptible. Your comment alone is enough.
Just think though if we all keep saying it until he's seeing it all over the place. A raccoon breaking into a Cybertruck should be like... Our mascot
If it walks like a duck..
Makes sense, every Cybertruck probably smells like an incel. I'd assume it was trash, too
Well... Smart animals
I watched a documentary about racoons. It mainly focused on raccoons that live in the city and how they adapted to city life. City raccoons adapted so well that city racoons and country raccoons would not be able to survive in each other's world.
If I recall correctly, cities helped the spread of racoons throughout North America. Any animal that has is able to adapt so easily is far more clever than we give them credit for.
And since they aren't bound by human laws, I fully support them in vandalising and trashing these Cyber Truck monstrosities. I'm eternally jealous that they can look so cute while accidentally rebelling against Musk.
orcas 🤝 racoons
fucking with humans
Racoons, Rats, Mice, Dogs (domestic dogs that beame wild) and our house cats all adapt super well to basically every environment where humans can live.
I don't think country racoons would have that big problems with going in a city and the other way around, from what i know they teach each other.
Country raccoons aren't aware of the dangers of motor vehicles. City raccoons would have been taught by their mother how to wait and avoid such obstacles. Foraging for food in bins is also a lot different than hunting for food in a more wild setting. The diets are vastly different with the mother again showing the young how to search and obtain food in their respective environments.
Yes, racoons can teach each other but from my understanding, a lot of that teaching is from mother to child.
I do not expect a city human to be able to head into the wild and survive without a considerable amount of training before heading out. A wild human would have a difficult time adjusting to the city life without starting out with some money.
I still stand by my original statement unless I can be proven otherwise.
Country racoons are absolutely aware of the danger of motor vehicles lol
I don't believe all raccoons live near roads. It is entirely possible for some animals to have minimal or no contact with human infrastructure. The world is a big place even if it feels small at times.
We know crows have sub-cultures and teach each other, so no surprize if some of the smarter mammals do the same.
The lookout: Take your time, boys. Take your time.
That’s funny but it’s probably one or two incidents among the sea of fools who bought this thing and not worth actually speculating some larger trend over
Compare that with the absolutely massive number of other trucks with tonneau covers, and how often they get vandalized by racoons.
The Cybertruck is still a very rare vehicle. 2 instances is quite a lot statistically.
are you fucking kidding me?! I personally know four people who's wiring harnesses were destroyed by squirrels. One who's seats were destroyed by a raccoon that opened an unlocked fucking door, and one who's vehicle was totalled by a horse.
You've never seen stories like these because none of them happened to a Tesla.
Oh I know a guy who transported a goat in a BMW, and miraculously nothing bad happened. Does that mean BMW's are goat proof?!
No. 2 is small numbers statistically. Perhaps you meant 2 is quite a lot percentage wise.
No one actually trying to make an empirical claim about this can possibly get away with 1 or 2 randomly claimed/unverified social media posts against over 11,500 cybertrucks. Musk is a piece of shit and his truck is dangerous trash but y’all are letting the lulz cloud your judgment.
My dearly beloved ham sandwich, this is a meme and not a dissertation. You seem to be the only person here taking it this seriously – I doubt folks walked away from this meme completely convinced there's now an epidemic of raccoons breaking into Cybertrucks
What's that you say - there's an epidemic of raccoons breaking into Cybertrucks??
I'm off to tweet this immediately.
