It is the year of our dark lord 2026. There is absofuckinglutely zero reason why I should be able to hear your vehicle of choice from a mile away. None. Zilch. Nada.
You’re just an asshole.
Maybe we need to do an ad campaign. We need voluptuous, beautiful women saying what we already know on camera: it’s SDE.
@FeloniousPunk
We have some other asshole firing off a gun, right now, in our little valley.
@FeloniousPunk I work in a convention center that has a tunnel for one of our main city streets running through it. All the idiots like to blast through it in their gender-affirming vehicles so they can rev their engines and pretend to be men.

Funnily enough
Psychopathy and sadism drive preference for loud vehicles, study suggests
A recent pilot study published in Current Issues in Personality Psychology has found connections between dark personality traits and the desire for loud cars.
@calcius @FeloniousPunk They needed a study for that? One look at those asshats is all it takes to know this.

Ha! I knew it!
Oct 22, 2026, 4:42 AM@FeloniousPunk I, too, wish he sound of a small penis wasn't so loud.
Oct 22, 2026, 4:48 AM@FeloniousPunk Even for motorcycles there's no reason. Loud pipes sound omnidirectional on the road, all it does is make people take their eyes off the road ahead
You need to be out here. We can hear people yelling at their cows a couple of kilometres up the road when the wind is right. 🐮
Oct 22, 2026, 6:06 AM@FeloniousPunk are you hearing this NZ? 'Cos I'm hearing your shit motorbikes, cars, boats & planes. FFS!
Narcissistic Exhibitionism & glasspack mufflers

@FeloniousPunk I feel seen. Seriously. I feel like a “get off my lawn” kinda guy when I get angry about it. But, dude.
@FeloniousPunk Do the crotch rocket bros next

EDIT: Oh - this has already been posted here, and now I realise this might be where I stole it from... Tres embarrassment.
I yell at 'em when they boom and pop past, "That's exactly the reason you're in there alone."
I figure it's part of this alpha-baby cry for attention tantrum coup they're going through.
@GGMcBG I always say, “He must be lonely”
@FeloniousPunk ditto videos, music or phone calls out loud from your phone!
@FeloniousPunk it's nature. You need to compensate for a small dick so that females notice you.
@radekcrlik But do any females actually LIKE it? 🤔
@FeloniousPunk I think that's the question dudes have been asking for millenia :D
It doesn't actually matter. It's meant to show off to men anyways (even if they'll deny the fact).
@FeloniousPunk @radekcrlik
My neighbor's 20ish year old. Can't even start the car without giving the block a collective panic attack.
I keep hoping rodents take a liking to critical components, rendering the car unusable.
@FeloniousPunk
Local BMW motorcycle dealer had a sign that said, “Motorcycles should be seen but not heard”
@FeloniousPunk
I may have turned the EV chimes up a bit too much, sorry.
@starlily This one gets me too but, it’s nothing in comparison
@FeloniousPunk
Just waiting for the day when the kids start hacking new and awful sounds into that system.
@starlily I’m still amazed nobody has used the car sound from The Jetsons
Oct 22, 2026, 12:15 PMWhen my stepbrother let me drive his obscenely overpowered Mustang, he demonstrated the button to switch the exhaust noise between "pleasant rumble" and "obnoxious sonic weapon."
It is absolutely a choice.
@FeloniousPunk on my block (on the way to the tunnels that lead to New Jersey) I have to hear them all the time. Plus the ghastly scraping sound when their low rider goes over the speed bump at 120% of the speed limit.
@ShiitakeToast There’s always a chance. 🤞🤞
@FeloniousPunk @ajroach42 The internal combustion engine must die.
@andrewdwilliams@infosec.exchange @FeloniousPunk@beige.party @ajroach42@retro.social its also loud stereos.
@FeloniousPunk We live fairly close to a freeway, but 95% of the time it's just kinda background static. Then one of those assholes comes vrooming and banging and whatever and it makes the fuckin windows shake. I wish I had an RPG to launch at them ...
