nowhere near the trunk of the car, thankfully. :-)

I guess the closest I’ve gotten to that is to have a cow lick the “T” off of the “Passat” lettering on my trunk a couple years ago.

those appear to be physical clones, not electronic equivalent clones. How is this specific company any different than the dozens of other earbud clones out there?

Between (old) reddit, phpbb and smf… the old reddit model wins by a landslide in my opinion. I’ve used all of these over the years and absofuckinglutely HATE phpBB and SMF, with SMF earning slightly less hatred than phpBB.

I’m also old enough to have downloaded .QWK files for offline BBS forum reading/replying and even connecting to the internet over a FidoNet-internet bridge. Lemmy did the exact right thing in copying reddit’s format.
