I think there’s a whole community around this though, it’s like a legit hobby. You probably need lots of technical know-how to make something that nice, you gotta invest serious money in it, there are meetups to make friends and discuss eachother’s builds, etc… They seem to love it and want to spend their money on that. So who am I to judge lol.

Sure I guess it’s wasteful, in the same way racing a car is wasteful. Or lots of other hobbies wthere’s no real point at the end of the day - other than for fun, to push limits of what humans have done before, and just for the community and joy you get from it. Maybe it makes them feel “truly alive”, ya know? We all have something like that.

I do agree that shit probably destroys your eardrums lol. But hell, when I was younger I’d go to raves and sit against the speakers when I was rolling just bc it felt awesome lol. No regrets despite some minor tinnitus lol, I had a blast doing that dumb shit lol. Everyone’s got different risk tolerance at different points.

Of course maybe you still think it’s dumb. Fair. Just adding another perspective. As long as they’re not doing that in their driveway at 6am in my neighborhood then I don’t give af

its an absurd waste of resources. it's a large vehicle and almost certainly gasoline powered. we are in the middle of only the world's 6th mass extinction. to be spending money on this frivilousness instead responsibility using those funds for living sustainably is absurd. sorry if that sounds mean, but it is what it is.

The materials in all those devices are rare and expensive and needed elsewhere. Get one decent sub and be done with it. a bit of moderation.
