Turns out you can polish a turd.

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

It's called dorodango and it's art

[–] fibojoly@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Risky search of the day, pfew!

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Proud of you, boo

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!

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

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

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

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.

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

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

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

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

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

Crash into it on an e-scooter and total it

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Can that legally drive tho?

[–] muusemuuse@lemm.ee 9 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Probably a cops car

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 11 points 2 months ago

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 9 points 2 months ago

The shiniest dumpster.

[–] Hjalamanger@feddit.nu 5 points 2 months ago

This looks a whole lot cooler than the standard cybertruck

[–] KulunkelBoom@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Now they're obnoxious AND they glare.

[–] HertzDentalBar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago

This is some fucked up Wile e coyote shit

[–] Seeeeeenntt@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Is that for chopping up lines of K?

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago
