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

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 31 points 19 hours ago

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

(Whoosh)

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 16 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Wait until you hear about genetics

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think trucks have those

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

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 40 points 22 hours ago

Maybe, they came with a new transmission.

[–] HighFructoseLowStand@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

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

[–] Pirky@lemmy.world 25 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

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?

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 19 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

What country made truck nuts illegal?‽!

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 16 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.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 14 hours ago

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

Reminds me of the old gif of that woman skydiving naked

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 5 points 17 hours ago

Jesus Christ. 🤣

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 45 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 43 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (4 children)

No way. You're making it up

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

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 18 points 19 hours ago

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

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 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] humblebun@sh.itjust.works 3 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 7 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Gender assignment surgery

They would probably be against that too though

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 6 points 18 hours ago

Nah, they love GAS

[–] mrslt@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] XaiwahBlue@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 16 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...
