Idk if this is the right instance for this, but how fucking tired of these forced ads at gas pumps is everyone else?
I’m paying 4 bucks a gallon to have you shove advertising down my throat like an erect cock?
What the actual fuck
Anyone have any good ad blocking practices for this?
I’ve seen duct or painters tape covering the speakers…
You can press a button next to the screen to mute it, but this doesn’t work at all gas stations. (Usually its the 2nd from the top on the right side)
I guess its just time to gettoblast music every time I pump gas like back when I was 19…
I mitigate risks when it’s reasonable. Not getting in my car while pumping gas is an easy step to take in order to mitigate a risk. Like buckling my seatbelt.
Can you perhaps share some statistics of explosions caused by getting in a car? No? How about an article of someone blown to smithereens by getting in there car? Not that either?
What you’re feeling better about is the theater of inferred safe practices. The fact that in spite of driving being the top cause of accidental death, you’re ok with but although there is no factual info backing up your fear of getting into your car should give you pause.
Wait do you deny these even happen? Are you serious right now? There’s multiple videos and articles. Like this one:

Not that it didn’t happen, just that they are so rare, you had to find a 4 pixel video of one and are completely unable to provide any statistics due to it’s rarity.
I was going to link a vehicle accident to back up my claim but, well, I had problems picking one from the 6 million that occur annually.
But you go ahead and worry about the static electricity while fueling so you can hop in your car and hurtle down the road around the oncoming rockets that are infinitely more likely to end your life but you are, for some strange reason, more OK with.
“Something else is more dangerous therefore the less dangerous thing doesn’t exist.” - You
“Stickers tell me when to worry.” - You
“I ignore clear warnings because I haven’t personally experienced the issue so it must not exist.” - You
The dude is literally the reason we have to have those sticker warnings on everything. I’m gonna say he’s not intelligent enough to even bother arguing with.
“Fear everything except for the most likely cause of death.” - You
Alright, have fun being an angry little whatever you are. I have better things to do than warn you about your car burning up, enjoy the rest of your day, keep full coverage on your cars or something. Have a nice one.
They put stickers on every pump everywhere warning about static electricity causing fires. Do you think they just put those on there for fun? I bet you’re not vaccinated either, idiot.
Luckily there’s no sticker on our car about the risks of driving, so we know it’s safe.
You seem angry. Maybe 4 1/2 hours of vehicle crashes will soothe you. Dont worry, they are high-resolution.
How do you feel about vaccinations? Is that something you do?
Here’s another hour of vehicle accidents for you to calm you down.
Yeah I have youtube too I can watch car crashes, not sure what point you think you’re making there. Do you wear a seat belt? Do you drink and drive?
Since you’re struggling to keep throwing other elements into this discussion in hopes of legitimizing you calling me an idiot over an anonymous comment section that has angered you:
I’m fully vaccinated because the risk of death without has been proven to be significant. I wear a seat belt because the risk of death without has been proven to be significant. I don’t drink and drive because the risk of death when doing so has proven to be significant. I get in my car when fueling because the risk of doing so is so minuscule that there are literally no published statistics regarding the practice.
You seem to be doubling down on the “I’m having a problem winning this with logic so let’s find something else to get this guy on” and super light on any stats, so I’m going to concede you are the winner of this online comment battle(Congrats!). Also, I did find a video showing some static electricity fires so I thought I’d give you that as well. It seems you were right all along.
Brother I won the argument when you started typing, I really don’t care to engage on this topic anymore, have a nice day.
