    Just wanted to say that the hate on American cheese is unjustified. American cheese is just cheddar that has been heated to 170f (iirc) for long enough to kill bacteria and make it shelf-stable. They add an emulsifier (again, iirc) to help it bind better and have a more pleasant texture.

    All other criticisms of America are valid, but the cheese doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

    Processed cheese is only called "American cheese" by Americans.

    The rest of the world doesn't call it that, and it's strange to see that some of you take it on as part of your national identity.

        I test drove one because I had to know. It was awful. I've driven dozens of different vehicles and it by far is the worst I've ever driven. It's just stupid. Everything about it is stupid.

        I have a feeling that one of Elon's kids were the inspiration. One told him while watching Blade Runner or something with them "Why does the future not look like the future?", then he decided to cook, and people around him let him.

          "Pleasant" in the context of what it would be otherwise. My understanding is that, without the emulsifier, it would be crumbly and kinda chalky, and not hold a form very well.

            I wonder if one of the problems is your comparison of American cheese to what I’m guessing might be American cheddar. I say this because most (and I know there are some niche outliers) American cheddars are pretty awful. It tastes processed, rubbery and bland.

            When I, a Brit, lived in the USA for 4 yrs I quickly learned the only good cheddar was the NZ or UK stuff. I say this as someone who has gone through at least 1-3 blocks of various British cheddars a week for almost 40 yrs.

            I wonder if you have had imported (not just branded as “English cheddar” before for example? It might blow your mind… but also if American cheddar is all you have know it might not taste all that good - we all have our tastes shaped by our upbringing.

              If by 'more pleasant texture' you mean 'no texture whatsoever' then yes, I suppose so.

                Cybertrucks are ugly, poorly-built, and poorly-designed vehicles. These protesters are doing any potential owners who get deterred from wasting their money on them a favor.

                  I agree, the american cheese is an Interesting and useful invention. At the end of the day it's just emulsified cheese. Similiar to emusified sausages and meat products, which are popular all around the world.

                  I much rather hate american insistace on substituting technique and culinary education with cream, corn syrup, sugar and butter, for example cacio e pepe or carbonara.

                      It also felt satisfying to cost Tesla like $10 in electricity and wear and tear.

                      Should we all sign up to test drive Teslas with zero intentions to buy, just to cost them time & money?

                        Then why were you calling it a criticism of America?

                        That does not make sense.

                          @JacksonLamb @SPRUNT 'American cheese' is a specific type of cheese. I think the closest thing we have in the UK, we'd call 'plastic cheese' but even Kraft cheese slices/Kraft singles aren't 'American cheese' as they have extra milk in.

                            I don't think that's the distinction.

                            the distinction is throwing cheese at a fucking death trap of a car is not even remotely "the same level" as advocating for the extermination of groups of people, regardless of whether those groups are based on choices or immutable characteristics. you have to be actually cartoonishly insane to even think this is even comparable to anything associated with nazis.

                            another distinction is that nazis do and advocate for abhorrent shit, and anything done to a nazi is therefore self defense.

                                Bro the quote is from a nazi car OWNER not the critics, the OWNER of nazi car is doing the projecting. You clearly dont understand that even after multiple people have pointed it out and thats why youre getting flamed. Lick your wounds and move on.

                                  I think it might be an “older people in the south” thing. (Like all boomers and older I’ve talked to about it know about it, usually not younger) I worked at a diner for a bit, and it would be Silent Generation types that would order it.

                                  It’s pretty good, but real cheddar would be better. It’s that similar salty/sweet combo that makes French fries and a McFlurry better than sex.

                                  i heard of it as kid on some cooking show on PBS in the 90s. I thought it was super weird, but my mom had heard of it. Except it was cheddar cheese, not american. I tried it and thought it was pretty good, so i bring it up when people talk about apple pie. it never fails to weird them out if they've never tried it!

                                      Like 13 times less safe than a Ford Pinto, and ~50x worse (for fires) than another EV.

                                        I’m sure the synthetic oilly shit has a wonderful reaction with that unprotected stainless steel.

                                        Not to mention that depending on force of the throw, and precise angle of the impact of cheese slice, the thing could start falling apart.

                                        ..... which now I think about it, also explains the:

                                        “hey police, someone threw cheese at my car, I’m in fear for my life.”

                                          These protestors in front of Tesla Service Centers need to see what a majority looks like...A couple hundred CTs surrounding them might do it.”

                                          This guy thinks the majority means "whoever shows up with weapons"

                                          ...A couple hundred CTs...

                                          Gonna be hard to get the majority of them that have been sold to show up in one place at one time.
