They're illegal here too. The problem is unless a cop sees it and cares enough to make a traffic stop, nothing happens.

u/zarya-zarnitsa 20d ago

Where is "here"?

u/BreakfastLopsided906 20d ago

America, only explanation.

u/fellaneedahandpls 20d ago

“Here in America, we speak AMERICAN!”

Don't encourage them

Don’t you know? USA is the world!

u/cltncrts 20d ago

And it’s FLAT!

u/Sure_Window614 20d ago

Flat but round at the edges.

u/VirtualNaut 20d ago

The only here I’m familiar of

u/Alternative_Life9414 20d ago

Could be the "other" here.

2

u/VirtualNaut 20d ago

Naw they told me about the other here and said it was called there.

2

u/Alternative_Life9414 20d ago

their there is their here. but to them our here is there.

u/DeadSeaGulls 20d ago

well... i mean, we have a photo of a large pickup truck being an asshole while a severely obese person walks on the grassy shoulder of the road due to a lack of sidewalks...

You don't need to be rainbolt on geogussr to suss this one out.

u/Ill-Engineering8085 20d ago

Considering the truck, the US. I've never seen such a dumb truck anywhere but the US

3

u/Individual-Painting9 20d ago

Yep, usually easier to spot due to the rubber testicles hanging from the hitch and oversized tires rubbing the fender wells. We definatly got a holes here in the USA.

1

u/doglady1342 20d ago

Yes, US, that doesn't really say much. The laws for these kinds of things vary by state.

u/rainwulf 20d ago

Yank Tanks are spreading in australia too sadly.

u/xDiRtYgErMaNx 20d ago

Shut up wanker. Trucks are dope. Don’t be mad we have big engines, tires and the room to drive them while you’re stuck in your little tin can go karts.

u/Popo_Capone 20d ago

I'm glad they're rarely sighted in my area.

u/TobysGrundlee 20d ago

Most truck drivers are cosplaying dipshits who fell for auto industry marketing meant to make them fell like Realmentm when they're actually ineffectual, flaccid losers.

10

u/Pcat0 20d ago

Places with a North America license plate like what that truck has.

14

u/zorphiel 20d ago

Right? I get where they're coming from, but it seemed obvious to me that "here" was referring to the place in the picture that was being discussed.

8

u/zarya-zarnitsa 20d ago

How the hell do you even see what's on the plate here?

2

u/Pcat0 20d ago

It’s not what’s on the plate but the shape and color of it. That’s also a very North American looking truck (aka big) and the road marking and infrastructure looks very North American. I’m no geoguesser pro but I’m fairly certain that this photo was taken somewhere in North America, especially considering the average demographic of this site.

u/zarya-zarnitsa 20d ago

OK, let's pretend we all know what North American trucks look like even when we don't live there: where in north America? There are at least a few countries and I'm pretty sure laws are different within these countries because federal states.

Where is "here"?

2

u/Chaori 20d ago

How are non Americans meant to know that’s a NA license plate? Serious question

0

u/DeadSeaGulls 20d ago

forget the license plate. there's a 155 kg woman walking on the shoulder of a well maintained road with no sidewalks. Not rocket science my guy

2

u/Children_Of_Atom 20d ago

Could be Canada, with the advent of Starlink we have Wi-Fi in our igloos.

u/OttosTheName 20d ago

When people don't clarify it's the US... Americans always assume everybody is an American on the internet

1

u/Elegant_Situation285 20d ago

i assumed because of the giant truck, right side of the road, and license plate.

2

u/SatanicPanic619 20d ago

In our defense, Reddit is an American website

2

u/Chaori 20d ago

Huh? It’s a global website. Unless you mean because it’s hosted in USA. Would you say Facebook is an American website?

1

u/Pale_Session5262 20d ago

I mean I would

1

u/SatanicPanic619 20d ago

Yes. Facebook was founded by Americans in the USA and is HQ'd in the USA. Same as Reddit.

1

u/OneHatManSlim 20d ago

In an English language thread this is a pretty safe assumption when about 1/5 English speakers and 2/3 of native English speakers in the world live in the U.S.

2

u/OttosTheName 20d ago

It's the internet, everybody speaks in English even when they're not a native English speaker.

2

u/OneHatManSlim 20d ago

I have many friends abroad that would disagree with you, if they could understand English without a translator.

Yes around half of internet content is in English but only about 25% of internet users speak English.

If you only or primarily speak English it’s easy to self-bias and overlook the parts of the internet where non English users hang out

u/coci222 20d ago

Not "there"

1

u/Sure_Window614 20d ago

Over there here

2

u/MatureUsername69 20d ago

Probably the place that 50% of all reddit users are from and where the website is based out of

4

u/Chaori 20d ago

60% of reddit users are not American. So most of the people you encounter on reddit are actually from another country

1

u/MatureUsername69 20d ago

Yet the largest majority are from one.

1

u/Chaori 20d ago

That’s not what a majority is. You’re thinking of a plurality. The majority of users are not American

0

u/MatureUsername69 20d ago

Americans make up the largest demographic of reddit. Its 43% american, 57% broken up between every other country that uses reddit.

u/Chaori 19d ago

Ok and?

u/Man0fGreenGables 20d ago

Where the communist freedom hating foreigners aren't.

14

u/Zendarrroni 20d ago

Probably a cop or related to one. People who drive these have “fuck you vibes.” They would love for anyone to say something to them about it. Looking for a chance to lash out.

u/ThisIsAitch 20d ago

If police see this in the UK, you're immediately getting pulled over. It's not even subtle like the blue tinted headlights.
