Teslaâs crazy Cybertruck smashes expectations, but not in a good way

Tesla made headlines when it debuted its new pickup model, the Cybertruck â but not in the way Elon Musk expected. The truck is a radical departure from previous designs, and an impromptu demonstration of the vehicle's durability was a cringe-worthy sight. In spite of this, the Cybertruck is still a hot conversation topic. Would you drive this angular beast of an EV?

The death and afterlife of the mall

It wasnât that long ago that the local mall was the cool place to hang out. It had everything you needed: a big open area to spend time with friends, places to shop and food to munch on. If you havenât noticed, malls are beginning to die all across the country, but the real interesting thing is what's being done with their carcasses.

Doggone it! Florida car has a mysterious new driver

Nobody should ever leave their pet alone in a locked car. Itâs dangerous to their health, after all. But another danger to keep in mind, as fantastical as it sounds, is the fact that a smart enough animal could take the car on a joyride. Thatâs exactly what happened to one driver in southern Florida, who left their dog unattended in the car with a running engine. To the surprise and horror of this personâs neighbors, the car began to move in reverse â and did so for almost an hour. Police and firefighters eventually arrived at the scene and let the dog out of the car, so nobody was hurt in the end. Only a mailbox suffered any damage, so we can assume the dog had some kind of grudge against mailmen. Typical.

Dogs should leave the driving to humans and stick to something familiar â like a scooter!
