Oh no they’re all me

Are you asking the US or Japan?

I’m 75,500 micro meters baby

God damn that’d be something to see

Sure, that makes total sense, if greedflation were only happening in the US. It’s a worldwide problem.

Yeah the government is paying me to post facts on lemmy from my toilet. That is totally a real and normal thing to think when confronted with new information.

This is absolute fairytale nonsense. This is only the stuff we know about:

Every market from Tuna to CDs. Companies want your money, and they know unions work. It’s so common Matt Damon was in a movie about a famous example.

Watch out entire industry that’s been operating for more than a century, Dark Arc’s dad is an engineer and he has correctly interpreted the facts you can’t even seem to grasp.

Quick, now do perpetual motion! Those simpletons have barely even tried.

Not that this will mean anything to you, but this feels a lot like when someone says “why don’t we just run lean so we save fuel?”.

Citing your dad’s job is a wild way to claim expertise.

Yes, which is why the recommendation is to keep your hand on the handle while pumping or touch a metal part of your car prior to returning to the pump, and don’t get back into a car.

I have a real life degree in automotive technology and engineering, and you saw a Mythbusters episode.

We can keep doing this forever if you like, but you’re still very poorly informed on how safety is engineered into your vehicle fuel system and the mechanisms that support it.

Here is some reading to help you, API recommended fuel procedures (if you’re not familiar with the API just read any gas pump or bottle of oil until you are): https://www.api.org/oil-and-natural-gas/consumer-information/consumer-resources/staying-safe-pump

Most important, motorists should not get back into their vehicles during refueling. It may be a temptation to get back in the car for any number of reasons. But the average fill-up takes only two minutes, and staying outside the vehicle will greatly minimize the likelihood of any build-up of static electricity that could be discharged at the nozzle.

They do engineer the pumps to ground the static charge. That’s what can cause the arc.

You discharge yourself the first time you touch the pump before you fill up.

Getting back into the car defeats the purpose by then grounding you in the presence of fuel vapors, rather than before.

Cool, here’s a video of a known static electricity ignition.

Various executives have been ripping bongs and saying this about gaming since the late 90s.

Still waiting on Millenials to ditch consoles and PC games entirely to play on the N-Gage.

Nice!

Mmm pocket sweat

Kinda shot past their point there and then restated it in paragraph two.
