[–]NewClayburn 37ポイント38ポイント  (2子コメント)

I always make up fortunes when reading my fortune to people at Chinese restaurants. I said something like, "The wisest monkey dwells furthest from the river." to my grandma once, and she looked at me like her mind had been blown.

Edit: lol I just remembered her response. It was a long pause, and you could tell she was trying to make sense of what she thought was incredibly profound. And she says "Oh because of floods."

I've never understood those things. Testicles imply a male. So the truck is a dude. Now the driver of the truck, a dude, is getting all up inside another dude. That's gay, right?

[–]Broduski [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

Tire clearance. Sometimes an extra inch or 2 can help a lot. I think body lifts are pretty dumb no matter what. But they do have a slight purpose.

[–]bolabpls [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Wouldn't you need an upgraded suspension anyway for More tire clearance? I feel like you would be bottoming out your coils/shocks/struts if you let them go back that much farther

[–]Broduski [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

You do, I'm more talking about people that are already lifted/modified and might just need to eek out a tiny bit more clearance to not rub their tires.

[–]cptboring [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

A body lift and taller tires shouldn't affect the suspension geometry. The control arm is still in the same place and will move the same distance over bumps.

A larger tire will be heavier, so upgraded shocks/springs would help but aren't required.

[–]PassivePandas 1ポイント2ポイント  (5子コメント)

Exactly. Plus most construction/labor jobs supply company trucks with stock suspension.

[–]bolabpls 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Stock suspension on a large pickup is usually more than sufficient for hauling materials!

[–]PassivePandas 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

You got it. My father actually does a lot of hauling with his truck. He has stock suspension, and has never had trouble moving anything. Lift kits are all for looks

[–]bolabpls 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Unless you're doing some serious off roading. I own a Toyota Land Cruiser, and even as killer as it is stock, I want to upgrade the suspension haha.

[–]PassivePandas 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Okay yeah very good point. Offroading is a different story! Daily driving with a 48" lift is extremely unnecessary.

dude the sad part is where i live its coveted, like your a loser if you dont drive a lifted environment penetrator with life-size replicas of Bronze-clad wooly mammoth testicles. I'm like for fucks sake. they drive around with the most pretentious smug face on too....

[–]PassivePandas 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I feel you, more than you know. It's a lifestyle here. Something I'll never accept, or understand. I drove a siblings truck, and literally watched the arrow on the gas gauge move. Why would you want that? I'll stick to my turbocharged compact.

Edit: the testicles that hang off the back make me just want to drive into the nearest light post.

[–]Clant_Westwood 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

I have a lifted truck. I bought it that way but i like it and dont really give a shit what other people think. It comes in handy living in the mountains too.

Edit: i also work construction but having a lifted truck doesnt provide any benifits in that area..

Edit 2: and I ride a motorcycle so does my dick size flucuate depending on my mode of transportation? Food for thought...

[–]vizualb [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Apparently it may provide a competitive advantage for mating. The larger vocal cords come with an evolutionary trade off.

But researchers found that those monkeys with the biggest hyoid were also the least-equipped for sperm production, and vice versa. Not that this is necessarily a disadvantage: Charles Darwin suggested the plus-sized vocal organs of the species were sexually selected.

Males living in groups where they were the lone male tended to have smaller testicles and bigger hyoids, whereas those who were competing against other males in their group tended to have larger testicles.

"This is probably because the females in these species will mate with several males, and so the males have evolved to produce more sperm to increase their chances of fertilising an egg," explained Dunn.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)

According to a study published by the Current Biology journal, male howler monkeys with a louder and deeper roar are more likely to have tinier testicles.

Howler monkeys produce one of the loudest vocal calls of any terrestrial animal, owing to their highly-modified larynx and its large, cup-shaped bone called the hyoid.

Males living in groups where they were the lone male tended to have smaller testicles and bigger hyoids, whereas those who were competing against other males in their group tended to have larger testicles.

The size of a primates testicles is relative to the promiscuity of their women. The more sex the female has, the bigger the male's balls are. Gorillas have tiny dicks and balls because they don't have to compete to mate; the biggest male runs the show.
