  • Eat one meatball sub and you're fine.

    Eat 20 meatball subs a day, 5 days a week, for your entire professional career? Not medically advisable.

  • This is too subtle for the internet, or at least I hope it is

  • Israel is going to build camps to concentrate their prisoners.

  • Is this a Mass Effect quote?

  • I'm using abnormous from here on out

  • I understand better to the left so this was 90° off for me

  • Honestly a bone head move, great job tikatalik you putz

  • Sweet lord the Brazilian tourists are out in force on this thread.

    They found him in a hotel known for sex workers, in a district known for sex work, with an 11 and 12 year old girl.

    What was he doing, tutoring them?

    He fled the country to escape consequences and I think we're all safer knowing his name and face.

  • FYI if you're single a minivan is just a mobile fuck palace

  • "I fell to my knees in that Aldi parking lot" is a popular meme on instagram currently, due to a sighting of Christians welcoming the end times in an Aldi parking lot.

  • Firefighters pull up to a black family's home, burn it down, and charge them with arson.

  • 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.

  • I like how colloquial this got over the course of reading.

  • I open the toilet seat to have a pee, a three foot flag unfurls from the ceiling, ITS HONDAFEST!

    A small corporate social media account emerges from the bowl, screaming relatable phrases it copied from r/memes. ITS GIVING SAVINGS, FAM NO CAP.

    My wife enters asking if I'm ok. I reach out for her, too late, she has become a smiling vacant eyed Summer's Eve ad. Not so fresh, I weep.
