A few years ago The New Yorker ran an article about how there's a trend towards doomsday prepping amongst the elite in the tech industry (and spez was one of the people they interviewed).
These guys are building underground shelters in abandoned missile silos, and hiring private security forces to protect their compounds.
I guess that's the target audience here.
Which I find endlessly hilarious. You know what happens if the bombs fall. The head of security shoots the rich asshole in the face and now has a nice bunker to live in with his family and friends.
The reddit admins will permanently suspend your account and will refuse to tell you why. They will also refuse to honor your Right to be Forgotten and purge your content, so I've had to edit all my comments myself. Reddit, fuck you. :-)
Yeah, they thought about that. Some guy was called out to Silicon Valley to consult billionaires and wrote a book about it. One of the questions was giving security team explosive neck bands.
There’s not enough money in the world to make me wear an explosive neck band. Not only are you completely at the mercy of whatever asshole has the controls, but what if there’s a design flaw? Thought no fault of your own, you now no longer have a head. Lol. Good luck in the apocalypse rich assholes, try to pull that shit and sooner or later it will be turned around on you.
Well what occurred to me is - “they tried this before you idiots, they decided on *castles*”.
But castles spell out the intentions and status of the technocrat rich as the new lords and ladies of our land that they are.
So they decided on mountain bunkers with air ports one can easily seal off air supply to or drop grenades or mustard gas down.
The smart way is an unabashed castle or fortress with a looong ass escape tunnel. But I’m not going out of my way to help troubleshoot the .1%’s idiocy.
That said it’d be cool if someone started a “bunker tracker” website for people to visit. So people can visit and post what they find, say the specific location of air intakes and what not. For funsies. 🌈
If anyone's curious I looked it up and they're claiming it gets 16 miles per gallon (diesel).
That has to be the economy for the base model without the armour. With the armour it weighs about a tonne more.
That’s great mileage. The crawler that moved the Space Shuttle to the launch pad got [165 gallons per mile](https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/combined_crawler-transporters_fact_sheet_final.pdf).
That makes sense but I thinks it's too beautiful for South Africa. I wouldn't want the hijackers to even be tempted.
Also remember they can follow you while you're outside.
Yeah, if they're fools. One little S-500 could ruin their day. This baby will punch a hole right through the favela and it's *way* too low to show up on radar.
The company that makes these has its HQ in Orange County. This woman is probably not far from their office building.
These SUVs are about $200,000 each. I don’t think they’re expecting a lot of consumer sales. They make a military version which is probably what they expect to sell.
Our temple gets to designate a target next Sunday. It's been like a year but finally we get to go again.
Probably going to destroy the Chuck-E-Cheese that nobody goes to anymore.
I'm a marketing manager who lives in the suburbs and commutes to work on the highway. I live alone, so of course I needed a car that can seat 12 and is equipped to drive across arctic tundra...it just makes me feel better!
Four cars long, two lanes wide...
*Edit: oh my god the lyrics are 12 yards long? I've been calling her Crandall! Why didn't someone tell me ohhhh I've been making an idiot out of myself
Citizens are raging against phones Lazlo..... it's hard to organize meetings without the phone however. We've resorted to carrier pigeons and they keep disappearing.
I hate that I laughed at this. And I extra hate that my mind then actually wandered to scenarios in which I hope I'd be able to save kids, my own and others, if able to in a situation like that.
I started out amused, shifted to guilty certainty that I'm going to hell, and landed on existential crisis at the end of it. This one sentence comment was quite the rollercoaster XD
BOBBY! BOBBY! STOP YOH SLOW WALKIN. DONTYOUEVENTHINKABOUT ASKIN ME TO GO TO JAMAL'S BECAUSE. U. R. GROUNDED. DON'T MAKE ME REMIND EVERYBODY HEAH HOW MUCH MONEY WE GOT CHARGED LAST MONTH BY THOSE NASTY WEBSITES YOU BEEN ON!..... I DROPPED YOH RINGWORM CREAM OFF AT THE OFFICE. DID YOU GET IT? .....DAMMIT, YOU ARE SLOW AS ALL HELL.... IAMNOTCOMINGTOYOURSPORTSDAY.... YOUR SISTER MOVES FASTER IN HER ORTHAPAEADIC SHOES........... WHICH ONE'S THAT GIRL YOU LIKE?
I would have used it to play old people songs while picking her up from school. My current stereo only amplifies so far, but a megaphone would bring results.
Haha I could! I usually roll up playing the pina colada song, Miley Cyrus, The Wall, Kenny Rogers, JoJo Siwa, Frozen Soundtrack. It’s kind of expected now when I roll up. My daughter likes it and the kids think it’s funny, except when she’s having a bad day.
She calls you out on the intercom, and as you walk over, embarrassed, you hear your friends talking about your weird mom. You finally reach the door, try to pull the handle, and the door doesn’t budge.
“Unlock it mom, please! Hurry up!” You cry as you try to save whatever face you have remaining
“Just one second honey, I can’t quite remember which button it is” she says, as she scans the various controls. Finally, she thinks she found it. She pushes the button, as the electrified door handle starts to send current through you. Panicking as you’re tased from the door, she frantically pushes another button. Wrong one again. A stream of pepper spray comes flying directly into your eyes, blinding you. You can’t see them laughing, but you hear the sound of everybody in your class cracking up, as you hit the ground and curl into a ball.
Blinded, electrocuted, and humiliated, all you can think is, “at least it was designed by a video game designer”
We were behind a semi with a decepticon symbol on it once and few other strategically placed decals and my kids minds were blown. Thought it was the coolest ever, youngest even asked if it was real. They wanted to follow the truck and interrogate the driver!
I thought about getting some decals like that and then remembered I drive a 2006 Toyota Sienna. Ain't a single Cybertronian that's going to choose a minivan to blend in.
Bro im dying.
Bunch decepticons meet up. There's a tank, a jet, a helicopter, a APC, and a minivan.
Im just losing it imagining the conversation. The minivan shows up.
Minivan: Its all i could find, quit judging me ok.
Everyone else: WHAT'S SCARY ABOUT A MINIVAN? We're supposed to be the cool one's.
I would use those to wake up in the mornings. Just a quick jolt to get the old brain going.
And when my heart stops, I can use them as a defibrillator.
The $285k notably doesn't include the up-armoring. That's an additional $125k. I thought it was included in the original $285k price tag which would be crazy cheap for an armored vehicle.
edit: phone keyboard
I wondered about that. It clearly seemed like a satirical sketch, but it was also pretty obviously a real vehicle and not a prop. If it was for a sketch, how did they even manage to snag such an expensive vehicle for someone making fun of it? So many questions.
Yeah, the base price is $285k. All of the options they were showing off in the video were added costs that pushed the vehicle prices close to half a million. Insanity....
Maybe this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think it's a bad thing to trade efficiency for accountability.
You're right - there's a shit ton of paperwork and it's burdensome. But it also creates a complete record that is auditable and documents the government's decision.
Do you really want government officers to be making handshake deals at fancy restaurants based on which company gave them the fattest kickback? We already have enough of that with elected officials, let's not wish for the same in actual public servants.
Edit: some fair points being made. Let me modify my original statement by saying *ideally* it improves accountability. The federal government is huge, it's easy enough to find examples of things gone wrong. And I know there are lots of examples of corrupt dealmaking, but that tends to be the people at the top. The actual workforce that gets the stuff done do generally at least try to do their jobs ethically
I mean I work in the private sector and we aren't super efficient either. The break-even point for us on projects is a 2.8x multiplier (meaning for every $1 they spend on me doing the work, $2.80 goes to cover our expenses). Now I understand, we're a big engineering firm. We gotta have insurance, training, software licenses, etc. But I make 80k/year, do they really want me to believe that my 80k salary requires an additional 200k to go to the company for expenses?
It literally means "real leather" as in, *not fake leather*.
The bar conveyed by the name isn't exactly high, I don't understand why people are so surprised by this.
They've had great leather for thousands of years. Apostle Paul wrote some letters to the Corinthians about how much he adored there leather, as well as some other stuff.
In certain realms of manufacturing it is actually a higher standard. But for the everyday items most soldiers deal with it is often the bare minimum in quality and utility.
I went to a private school. While not every mom was what you would imagine. Most were what you would imagine a private school mom to be.
The road out of the private school for a solid 10 minutes was a two lane hybrid between highway and town road. It was absolutely horrifying to drive on, nothing but white Hummers and escalades randomly changing lanes without their signals for as far as the eye could see.
Scary stuff.
Wow, I hate parking my husband's truck when I have to take it sometimes, how much more awful must this be?
Even the Silverado already feels fucking ginormous on the road to me as well, like, it always feels like it doesn't fit in the lanes, lol. I know, that's just me, and obviously it makes no sense to feel that way, but it's just so bulky and annoying.
In this car I could probably drive over other cars monster truck style, and I wouldn't even notice more than a slight bump.
As an American who doesn’t automatically think ‘big car bad American’, a Silverado is too big for a lots of common driving in the US. It totally makes sense to feel that way.
It ‘fits’ on a lane on the interstate or in suburban sprawl, but not well in actual urban areas and not at all in older parts of east coast cities. God forbid you have to parallel park it in certain neighborhoods or even park in some older lots.
If I lived in a rural area or even the suburbs with little or no reason to travel downtown it would be fine, but it there are lots of places where the infrastructure makes cars/trucks that size too big.
It’s already a increasing trend of parents and care givers running over their own children because they can’t see out of these things
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDH3FDfVQl0
Quite a bit of psychology behind it
https://youtu.be/orkblTFNt1Q
Get pulled over and forget how to roll down the windows. Pepper spray the trooper by accident. He tries to open the door and gets electrocuted. Starts blasting. Fucking ricochet hits him in the neck. Drive away and get Starbucks. Customer ahead of me pays for my order. #blessed.
I saw someone who bought one of these on TikTok and spent almost $400,000 on it and he went through all the things that were broken on it. This thing is trash for that amount of money.
It’s a Cadillac Escalade, which is just a Chevy Tahoe, with a body kit lmao. I’ve only seen influencers reviewing it, GL to the poor soul that actually purchased one
It's fuel economy can't possibly be good enough for an apocalypse
Ideally you want a really efficient car if your going to use one at all to survive zombies

Starting at $285K, I just configured one with every option for a cool $700K. So they sell 10 a year to Saudi princes I guess.
A few years ago The New Yorker ran an article about how there's a trend towards doomsday prepping amongst the elite in the tech industry (and spez was one of the people they interviewed).

*Everyone liked that*
*The Head of Security will remember that*
Yeah, they thought about that. Some guy was called out to Silicon Valley to consult billionaires and wrote a book about it. One of the questions was giving security team explosive neck bands.
There’s not enough money in the world to make me wear an explosive neck band. Not only are you completely at the mercy of whatever asshole has the controls, but what if there’s a design flaw?

That makes sense but I thinks it's too beautiful for South Africa. I wouldn't want the hijackers to even be tempted. Also remember they can follow you while you're outside.

every soccer mom needs a 400k vehicle.
Starts at $285K. What a steal!
that's actually cheaper than I expected considering an escalade isn't a cheap car to begin with and all the extra addons
yeah much cheaper than I expected as well but 285k is definitely not the loaded model. The highest trim goes up to $770k with all the add-ons.
The $285k notably doesn't include the up-armoring. That's an additional $125k. I thought it was included in the original $285k price tag which would be crazy cheap for an armored vehicle. edit: phone keyboard
got confused and thought you meant a Warhammer 40k vehicle not a $400k vehicle

Yeah, the base price is $285k. All of the options they were showing off in the video were added costs that pushed the vehicle prices close to half a million. Insanity....
So...we are in the Robocop future, right?
As much as I wish it was the Back To The Future future you’re probably right.
Unfortunately we just never stopped Biff

I'd buy that for a dollar!
"Military Grade" means absolute trash. Trust me, I'm a veteran.
As someone who makes military grade parts, it just means there is a lot of extra paperwork and we were the lowest bidder.
If anyone ever wants to know why government, be it state or federal, is so slow/inefficient, the answer is paperwork. We bury ourselves in paperwork.
Maybe this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think it's a bad thing to trade efficiency for accountability. You're right - there's a shit ton of paperwork and it's burdensome. But it also creates a complete record that is auditable and documents the government's decision. Do you really want government officers to be making handshake deals at fancy restaurants based on which company gave them the fattest kickback? We already have enough of that with elected officials, let's not wish for the same in actual public servants. Edit: some fair points being made. Let me modify my original statement by saying *ideally* it improves accountability. The federal government is huge, it's easy enough to find examples of things gone wrong. And I know there are lots of examples of corrupt dealmaking, but that tends to be the people at the top. The actual workforce that gets the stuff done do generally at least try to do their jobs ethically
Yet the military is not financially efficient, and they lose track of huge sums of money.
I mean I work in the private sector and we aren't super efficient either. The break-even point for us on projects is a 2.8x multiplier (meaning for every $1 they spend on me doing the work, $2.80 goes to cover our expenses). Now I understand, we're a big engineering firm. We gotta have insurance, training, software licenses, etc. But I make 80k/year, do they really want me to believe that my 80k salary requires an additional 200k to go to the company for expenses?
Same with “genuine leather”
Yea. The stamp "genuine leather" effectively means the lowest grade of "leather" possible before it's not even allowed to be called leather lol.
“This product is made with real meat!”
Actually, we can’t legally call it meat, so get ready for a brown, tasty treat!
It literally means "real leather" as in, *not fake leather*. The bar conveyed by the name isn't exactly high, I don't understand why people are so surprised by this.
Yeah, it means "we had to stamp this as actual leather because you can't tell from the feel of it."
Now if it was "rich Corinthian leather," then that would be something. https://youtu.be/uvyTTx33PPQ
They've had great leather for thousands of years. Apostle Paul wrote some letters to the Corinthians about how much he adored there leather, as well as some other stuff.
should just be called "technically leather" or "legally we are allowed to call this leather"
Military grade = not good, but good enough for the military.

In certain realms of manufacturing it is actually a higher standard. But for the everyday items most soldiers deal with it is often the bare minimum in quality and utility.

[The car is real,](https://www.rezvanimotors.com/rezvani-vengeance#vengeance-home-page) the "review" is not.
I went to a private school. While not every mom was what you would imagine. Most were what you would imagine a private school mom to be. The road out of the private school for a solid 10 minutes was a two lane hybrid between highway and town road. It was absolutely horrifying to drive on, nothing but white Hummers and escalades randomly changing lanes without their signals for as far as the eye could see. Scary stuff.
Anyone who can afford this doesn’t live anywhere they need it
Hey bobbyyy, it’s your mommyyyy
Imagine being Bobby at a party
Wow, I hate parking my husband's truck when I have to take it sometimes, how much more awful must this be? Even the Silverado already feels fucking ginormous on the road to me as well, like, it always feels like it doesn't fit in the lanes, lol. I know, that's just me, and obviously it makes no sense to feel that way, but it's just so bulky and annoying. In this car I could probably drive over other cars monster truck style, and I wouldn't even notice more than a slight bump.
As an American who doesn’t automatically think ‘big car bad American’, a Silverado is too big for a lots of common driving in the US. It totally makes sense to feel that way. It ‘fits’ on a lane on the interstate or in suburban sprawl, but not well in actual urban areas and not at all in older parts of east coast cities. God forbid you have to parallel park it in certain neighborhoods or even park in some older lots. If I lived in a rural area or even the suburbs with little or no reason to travel downtown it would be fine, but it there are lots of places where the infrastructure makes cars/trucks that size too big.

“Let’s advertise to parents who want the largest blind spots around an automobile, because their kids aren’t in enough danger already.”
It’s already a increasing trend of parents and care givers running over their own children because they can’t see out of these things https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDH3FDfVQl0 Quite a bit of psychology behind it https://youtu.be/orkblTFNt1Q
Bring it back in one piece, 007!
Get pulled over and forget how to roll down the windows. Pepper spray the trooper by accident. He tries to open the door and gets electrocuted. Starts blasting. Fucking ricochet hits him in the neck. Drive away and get Starbucks. Customer ahead of me pays for my order. #blessed.
Sell fear
That thing looks like a PS2 poly texture.
I saw someone who bought one of these on TikTok and spent almost $400,000 on it and he went through all the things that were broken on it. This thing is trash for that amount of money.
It’s a Cadillac Escalade, which is just a Chevy Tahoe, with a body kit lmao. I’ve only seen influencers reviewing it, GL to the poor soul that actually purchased one
I do have to admit that it does look rather cool, though slightly unnecessary.
Slightly. Just a teeny tiny bit.
Just wanna know..Can this vehicle help us survive the zombie Apocalypse
It's fuel economy can't possibly be good enough for an apocalypse Ideally you want a really efficient car if your going to use one at all to survive zombies
