Richard Scarry is awesome
Was. Sadly, he left us with all of the Busy Town books he had to write and illustrate in 1994. But he left a wonderful legacy.
A pig driving a hot dog is kinda gruesome if you think about it.
Ever heard of the Tony Hawk blood skateboard? (Or skateboards? I dunno.)
"Hotdog car isn't science fiction, it's science fact."
~Oscar Meyer, probably
“To beef frank, hotdog car isn’t science fiction, it’s science fact.”
Thank you for putting the correct quote.
Richard Scarry is a GOAT of children's fantasy.
Quite literally, sometimes!
Roald Dahl was better
Isn't the concept of a pig driving a hot dog kinda low key horrifying?
No worse than my Honda Spinal AcCord
In the original Disney Three Little Pigs cartoon, the third pig has paintings of sausages and ham on his wall with labels under them like "uncle" and "grandmother."
aren't hotdogs usually beef?
Nah, it's soy or smth. Impossible hotdog.
I mean we technically do have the hot dog car in real life, so that's neat
And Teslas are kinda like the Apple version of a car. But they kill people.
I did not expect to see Lowly the worm on Lemmy today. Nice.
Lowly's brown and that guy's green. What, you're saying all worms look alike??
Oh shit. Sorry for my inadvertent wormism. I haven’t seen the guy in like 40 years!
All my homies love lowly the worm 🥰
Wow that's a blast from the past.
This... is not how I imagined the Apple car to look like...
The lawsuit is still pending.
BEHOLD! THE FUTURE IS NOW!!
Ok I'm giving up on trying to find an apple car. The search results are flooded with either stuff about the company Apple making their own car, or how to integrate their phones and apps with your own car.
This joke ain't funny enough to keep going. Sorry.
Here's a few, the trick I used was to translate "apple car" into other languages (Spanish, German), then search using the translations:

That's clever! Thanks for the tip!
Then the car turned itself into a pickle! Funniest shit I've ever seen!
You could drive a hot dog or a pickle car....or you could drive a bi-plane car or tank that is attached to a steamroller tractor or a car made out of wood with saws.
As a 19 year old with a bench seated car from the 50s every time I take the homies out with it we do fr ride my car like the roaring plenty like when you don't have a center console or seat belts of course everyone is going to call shot gun and get shot gun it's the best part of such early automatics
Considering the reliability of the Wacky Races cars, that may not be the best idea.
If my options are crash and burn in an:
I am going to take the Wacky Race car. At least, there's going to be a good story out of my death.
I had a giant Richard Scarry book when I was little, that was the shit
Where is goldbug hiding?
Performing fellatio on the mouse guy.
Cars with electric motors can be any shape. I am appalled that there is not a pattywagon for sale
for the record, cars with combustion engines can also be any shape
True. It's just harder because you have to move the power around with mechanical linkages rather than just having a big ass cable
There's the cheese slice car
I need it
I wanted Lowly's apple car so badly when I was a kid.
what's the hotdog car made of
A hotdog
Hope it’s 100% beef for the driver’s sake
Hot dogs, what else?
Oh wow... This dude is an idiot!
I have nipples, Greg... Can you make me into a car?
You can drive anything with nipples.
I mean I guess, but I find it easier to drive with my hands.

I know I've seen this book in primary school but I can't remember the title
“The Busy World of Richard Scarry”
Ha! I instantly recognized this art style. it's Richard Scarry, British children's book author. I still have a hard copy of one of my favorites from childhood:
If Richard Scary released these today, would it be called "Bussy Town?" 🤔
Please see an oncologist, I think that joke has cancer.
It will be nice when the energy density on batteries has gotten high enough and charging times have gotten low enough that we can move on from making cars so aerodynamic and experiment more with funkier form factors.
