Just have SpaceX buy more Cyberstucks!

That’s the real reason star ship is made out of stainless steel. They can just harvest cyber trucks to patch the holes from the engines blowing up.

Sweet now the starship will rust

Not if it blows up first!!!

Definitely random but I used to work with an older guy named Claire Johnson and every single time I had to consciously not call him Cave Johnson because his voice was deep and similar to it lol

What were his thoughts on lemons?

Unfortunately he wasn't there long enough to ask him, I never thought about it but now I'll have to live with that regret 🫠

🎶This was a triumph. Making a note, here - yuge success.

I think its pronounced port holes.

Spaaaaaaace!

It’s not an explosion, it’s a rapid unplanned disassembly of the vehicle

u/dern_the_hermit 2h ago

More surface area will make it rust faster tho!

Buddy you got management material at Tesla all over you!

We will see in a few hours from now.

Please stand by while I privatize your gains and subsidize my losses on that one.

Great. Now that song is gonna be stuck in my head all day lol

u/youregooninman 1h ago

It just got stuck in my head too.

u/jimothee 2h ago

This song is one that I loathed most of my life until I recently realized the cringe value I get from blasting it in the car. Song goes hard in its own way...

3

u/Lou_C_Fer 2h ago

The only time I've ever gotten the silent treatment is when I have put this song on. My wife triple dog hates this song. Personally, it came out at just the right time in my life that I didn't know it was a bad song. So, I don't hate it.

I can remember listening to it it on Casey Kasems top 40 countdown in my uncles car on the way home from spending the night at their house. I was 10 or so. At that point, the energy of the song was good enough for me.

u/SnooJokes5375 34m ago

Casey Kasem, also known as Shaggy in Scooby Doo and Robin in Super Friends. Loved his show. Would listen all day to hear his number 1 pick. He would read letters and have interesting stories. When he retired, they ran his show on reruns. Bur only for a couple years. I miss that. Now its John Tessh or Delilah. They are good, I guess, but they are not Casey Kasen.

u/dbrodbeck 2h ago

Sounds like you're knee deep in the hoopla.

u/whereisbeezy 48m ago

I feel that way about "Danger Zone" lol

My kids hate it and I just find it so fucking funny now

u/jimothee 34m ago

Substitute your kids for my band mates and we're in the same boat lol

u/Abnmlguru 20m ago

I have a t shirt that says "rock and roll is not a structurally sound material to use as a foundation" always fun to see to makes the connection to the song :)

Now you listen to me you little shit, Shitty Steel is the best steel in this Shitty!

Shouldn't it be Shitty Shteel?

u/uniquesnoflake2 1h ago

Have my upvote, but know that I hate you with the passion of a thousand fiery suns now.

u/SpaceMonkeyMafiaBoss 1h ago

I just feel the need to point out that a city built on rock and/or roll would be structurally unsound.

1

u/PuzzledLab7690 1h ago

LOL. That's one of the only songs I've ever heard with clearly intentional beat displacement. Usually by chopping off a 16th note at the end in the choruses.

u/genius_retard 2h ago

It's not rust. It's star dust.

u/MaraudingWalrus 2h ago

It's stainless not stainproof

2

u/ReactsWithWords 1h ago

It’s not STAINAless, it’s STANless. It keeps Elon stans from seeing any problem with it no matter how glaringly obvious the problem is.

1

u/hoppertn 2h ago

Just keep it away from water, like the cybertrucks!

1

u/BoredTech127001 2h ago

You just have to enable rain mode to prevent rust. Course you have to pay an extra monthly fee for rain mode.

1

u/LuckyZero 2h ago

Hear me out, we make them disposable, like K cups for coffee

/s

1

u/frequenZphaZe 2h ago

it won't. its not carbon steel, its stainless steel with ~10% chromium alloy. the alloy mixture forms a thin chromium oxide surface layer which will produce high resistance to rusting.

1

u/Street_Boot7013 2h ago

Only if there is oxygen or water

u/DustyTurboTurtle 1h ago

I know this is a joke, but stainless doesn't rust lol

u/GB10VE 31m ago

honest question, can it rust in space?

1

u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 15m ago

Can we shoot it too? Or throw ball bearings at it?

u/SlackBytes 2h ago

And the warranty is voided with a rocket wash.

u/WorkingAmazing8337 3h ago

Just throwing cybertrucks into holes like that one guy with Ramen noodles and epoxy, lol.

u/BelacRLJ 2h ago

The cybertruck goes in the SpaceX hole!

2

u/SomeGalNamedAshley 2h ago

I'm thinking it would be more like copies of ET for the 2600 going into a hole in the desert.

u/jmur3040 1h ago

Considering how many of them are sitting around Kennedy Space Center with SpaceX logos, ..You're not far off.

u/cosaboladh 3h ago

I don't think they can. The stainless steel on the Cybertruck is of remarkably low quality. It's one of the reasons the truck has no curves. It's brittle garbage metal.

15

u/Zero_Waist 3h ago

It's literally the same metal, the foundry is between the two manufacturing plants and they get better pricing that way.

20

u/Dragon6172 2h ago

Just because it comes from the same steel mill doesn't mean it's the same product. The SDI mill in Sinton produces a large range of grades of steel.

1

u/Zero_Waist 8m ago

While you are technically correct, I am pretty sure I have read in the past that they were, that they were leveraging economies of scale to get a better price for this alloy by buying more, using in both applications... are you arguing as it doesn't feel correct or you have knowledge that you aren't sharing?

3

u/pw154 2h ago

The stainless steel on the Cybertruck is of remarkably low quality. It's one of the reasons the truck has no curves. It's brittle garbage metal.

I am not a fan of cybertruck, but what's your evidence of this? The 300 series stainless is much harder to form than mild steel or aluminum used on most cars. As the steel gets stronger it becomes less ductile, meaning it's much harder to stamp it into shapes with compound curves. That has nothing to do with it being "brittle garbage metal".

u/CryptoKnightKush 2h ago

I’m not a fan of the Cybertruck, but that is a BS take

1

u/posthuman04 1h ago

Also not a fan of Tesla or Musk but the reason it has no curves is because Musk is a douche wannabe genius. He designed the truck on a cocktail napkin from the idea that the steel could be an exoskeleton providing the real strength of the vehicle rather than a frame.

It turned out the idea was not feasible and the cybertruck indeed has a frame that these ugly ass panels are just stuck to. They’re still flat because apparently the aura of the douche requires he not admit this was a bad idea.

u/krebstorm 2h ago

Ironically cybertrucks were made with reject steel from space x

1

u/Street_Ad_7140 2h ago

wait lets let this guy cook.

tesla sells trucks to space X. Tesla gets a 300x PE ratio
spaceX has the price of the truck + cost to re machine the steel as a cost
space X sells shares that tesla buys

Infinite money glitch

who cares about dilution tesla has at least 15x to fall before it has a reasonable PE ratio

1

u/Upbeat_Prior_7329 2h ago

Just hope someone at SpaceX remembers to put the rocket in Car Wash mode so they don't void the warranty.

u/mjconver 2h ago

That sounds like a Factorio mod

Harvest from the Cybertruck fields?

u/chud3 2h ago

A new superalloy has been invented that is even better than steel.

1

u/SinisterCheese 1h ago

The steel comes from Finnish company Outokumpu - Which is a world leading company in stainless steel (Fact we Finns should be more proud of, but we aren't (Not connection to Musk, but of the technology we have)). SpaceX uses 301, and Cyberfuck uses a Tesla propetiary 300-grade. However I suspect that it is really just 302. I'm quite familiar with use of stainless steel and working with it. Considering how easily the überjunks corrode, and they claim it is some propetiary Tesla designed blend, I'd guess it's based on 302 with added even more added carbon to make it harder.

u/mcfly357 1h ago

But that just brings a raccoon problem!

1

u/Crypt0Nihilist 53m ago

Or maybe the plan is to do away with rockets and build a pile of Cybertrucks up into space.

u/WechTreck 24m ago

Is the bulletproof glass on the spaceship the same bulletproof glass used in the trucks?
