Huh... I mean, that's probably a coincidence, right?
These vehicles remind me a lot of quadricycles which are quite popular here in Norway. They're legally classified as mopeds here, so it's easier and cheaper to get a license for them, in addition to the vehicles themselves being much cheaper than cars. You're in the USA, right? I have no idea if quadricycles are a thing there.
Somehow I don't think I've heard that myth before. It's surprisingly (or maybe not that surprisingly) similar to a local legend describing the formation of several mountains in northern Norway:
Apparently they're one of Todd (in the Shadows)'s favourite bands.
We had our own imitators here in Norway. The best known was probably Absolute Music. That brings back some memories!

The headline undersells it, in my opinion. It's been a popular theory among Qanon "researchers" for a long time that Q is actually a group of people, and not a single individual. What this article claims is that 4chan Q and 8chan Q are two separate people, which is much more significant. If that's true, it either means 4chan Q stepped down and let another person take over their role, or that 8chan Q is impersonating 4chan Q. Is anyone here following this lunacy more closely? How are the Qanon "researchers" reacting to this discovery?
The Arecibo Telescope was the inspiration for one of the maps in Battlefield 4. The most hyped new feature in that game was "levolution", which meant that the maps could be changed during combat by player actions. In this case players could destroy the supporting wires and cause the telescope to collapse. It's interesting to see the comparison between it collapsing in the game and in real life:
