A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:
In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less

Also you can't get miffed at me for supposedly "Complaining" about the point of the community
Deadass the title is fuckcars. 90% of everyone here is complaining about something jerkass
Its always Anti-"Insert topic" subs that, when I ask why they exist and what's the point, people immediately insult me instead of either going "Myeh we don't all just hate on cars here, just specific things like 'Insert specific things'" or just answering the question. Its always "WELL IF YA DON'T LIKE IT GET OUT!"
Maybe it is the caps, but I never badmouth anyone or anything when I ask, Im just super confused and wanna understand. But I get told to fuck off.
All you're doing by commenting here is telling the algorithm you like to engage with this community, therefore you will keep seeing it more, and complaining more, thus telling the algorithm you like engaging with the community etc.
I told you to block the community because you don't enjoy it, that's all.
You insulted me while saying that. thats why I keep commenting. Not to mention the other assholes that keep doing the same!
You cant give someone decent advice and then straight up mock/insult me and just expect people to be chill with that type of shit. I even said "What if there's something here I DO actually find interesting" I still got made fun of for it. Regardless the "Algorithm", it doesn't do shit ti cater to my interest anyways! I've been here for months! And I KEEP getting recommended Linux and programming memes. I dont even program! Thats just all this place keeps offering me!
Again, you keep commenting on these things so you keep getting offered them and you seem to think blocking communities to curate your experience is in some way an insult to you?
I likened you to a group of people on a social media platform doing exactly what you do. You are straight up using verbally offensive insults against me.
I've been patient enough with you as it is. I will use the block feature to curate my experience now and rid myself of your nonsense.
This dude is weird.
> Barges into public conversation
> Refuses to read the room
> Asks why would anyone be against this
> Elaborates by insulting people who are just living their lives
> Refuses to leave, says they won.
I'm now imagining someone doing this same thing at a funeral and honestly it's pretty amusing.
"Why this dude here, and why is everyone else?"
"He... died? And we're here to mourn?"
"Why would you do that?"
"...Can you leave us alone until you figure it out?"
"WOW YOU'RE ALL RUDE MORONS!"
Wearing a full on clown costume and brightly coloured afro wig to really make the scene complete.
When the fuck did I ever say I won??
I even explained I have fucking autism you dipstick?? Read the rest of the replies here, plenty of other people kindly explained it to me better than you did cus you were just generally being a dick.
You have issues man. You really do. Never did I say I won. You gotta hop off the fuckin internet my guy.
