I remember the time at the gas docks a guy was smoking and when told to put it out he said “this is diesel, it doesn’t do that, look” and then put his cigarette out by pumping diesel onto it.
Then he got a ticket by the very unamused DNR cop who was also fueling up his boat, who was the one who initially told him to put his cigarette out.
You absolutely can.
Should you? That’s another question.
Well I’ve never seen a gas station blow up, so it must be fine
I know you are joking but I can’t sleep so I will share.
I have seen two huge gasoline explosions and the aftermath of a gas pump explosion.
One was from a cigarette. I didn’t actually see that, but I was sitting in social studies class when the shockwave hit us. It felt like the ceiling pressed down on us. It blew out all the pane glass windows in downtown. This was in the early’80s. Someone who was cleaning a gasoline barge lit a cigarette out of habit. It was like a fuel air bomb going off.
I was a little kid in the early ‘70s when a gasoline truck driver accidentally set his truck on fire by the static from his nylon jacket. It was at night and the explosion woke me up. You could see the fire from everywhere in town.
In the late ‘70s these three dumbasses were stealing gasoline from the filling station where they worked. They were filling 55 gallon drums in a van. It was dark so one of these genuses lit his lighter.
The burned out van was still there in the middle town in the morning. Everyone in the small town drove by to look.
Every annoying safety rule has multiple stories like this behind them.
The now-predictive documentary “Robocop” would suggest otherwise
I stand corrected!
If you’re pumping diesel unless there’s something to whick it can get that trucker life
Might turn into a once in a lifetime experience for you and the people closest to you
what
Big Building trying to brainwash “people” into believing that upstairs is real to sell more floors. Wake up sheeples!
If upstairs isn’t real, why are buildings so high? What actually is happening there?
Storage space for all the stuff they need to rearrange floor. Obviously. Duh.
I thought that’s in the basement?
so is memes allowing shitposts now?
That’s what they want you to think!
I mean you would feel the movement if there was any
Some people say beating your kids doesn’t work.
I’m like, “What!? Am I the only one that didn’t get a force field?”.
It’s all relative innit
So how do they manage it when I run up the stairs faster than what an elevator could?
Do they just have waste an expensive stasis charge for every floor and that is why they don’t like me using the stairs?Staircases are still real of course. So when you take the stairs to the 3rd floor it actually is a different floor than when you take the elevator to the 3rd. These two different floors still appear to be the same because off…quantum entanglement or something idk
