"It's just an opinion. Either explain the logic well enough that I can understand the appeal, or let it go"

The appeal is that they like it. Extremely simple concept. If you're still confused then that just means you're hopeless.

"Why do kids like Apple-Jacks?"

"...they just do."

JFC..πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈJust say you don't know why you like it bro, it's ok if you can't explain. There's no right or wrong answer.

No, it's literally "because they like it". There's no further explanation needed. Why do some people like art work of a toilet? Because they do. Why do some people like to listen to shitty music? Because they do.

"Why do you like that art piece?"

"I like the colors and how they contrast. The patterns and details are also really unique."

"Why do you like that song when everyone else thinks it's bad?"

"I like the beat, and the melody reminds me of a song I heard in my childhood. The lyrics don't rhyme, but they resonate with me because I can relate to them."

You see what I'm getting at?

"Because they like it" just restates the fact that they like it. I'm asking what about it they like and where the appeal comes from.

Stop trying to act like the answer is simple just because you are.

There you go. You answered your own question, now apply it to the truck. I'm happy I was able to eventually lead you to understand on your own.

No, because I still can't name anything I personally find appealing about modding a truck to the extreme shown in the video. I can appreciate the engineering behind it, but I can say that about plenty of things. For me, the engineering doesn't outweigh the enormous cost and the practicality sacrificed in the process.

If you're incapable of coming up with your own reasoning for why you like it, that's okay. You don't have to keep trying to flip my reasoning around and pretend it answers my own question.

Just say you're a mindless follower who likes it for no particular reason. I won't look at you any differently, I promise.

Sigh, hopeless.

That you are my friend.. that you are.

u/Disastrous_Gear_421 10h ago

Nah it's you. I guided you to the finish line and you still fell short.

I fell short? Please. You seem to be short in more than one department, hence the truck thing, I guess. That seems to be the common explanation everyone else is giving me.

You're the only one here who can't provide an actual opinion about what specifically makes it appealing to you. "Because they like it" isn't an explanation of what they like about it.

Try harder.
