The image shows a Facebook Marketplace-style listing from a group called “Longview Classifieds: WA” posted by Kristene Heeney. The listing advertises: “Custom made 1/8 mild steel Tesla cyber truck fire pit. Made locally.” Three photos in the post display the item: • A fire pit shaped like a miniature Tesla Cybertruck, made from dark steel, with flames and logs burning inside. • The construction is boxy, angular, and designed to mimic the look of Tesla’s Cybertruck, including stylised wheels. • The fire pit is set on a concrete or patio surface in an outdoor setting, with trees and garden features visible in the background. The listing states the item is priced at $150, located in Kalama, WA. The product is titled: “Cyber truck fire pit.” It’s a pretty brilliant mix of industrial design and internet humour—burning logs in a steel effigy of a symbol of high-tech capitalism.

Life after death - in the Raintop Village they believe nobody is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock he wound up winds down - until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence. - Terry Pratchett
