It’s a true statement of the vast and uncaring void that surrounds us.

Like a spring breeze to me

This isn’t even the worst thing I’ve seen on this bathroom break.

I have billions in my lawn. Just plant locals (guerilla style) and they’ll be back.

Look, I’m not saying our universe exists as a node in an infinite fractal of repeating universes, but one of these is the largest structure we can see and another is the smallest:

Honestly a bone head move, great job tikatalik you putz

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.

I just want to point out that this source indicates researchers reviewed 1500 papers on the topic and found that unsupported claims had doubled.

However, they never indicate the number or give a percentage of those 1500 papers that featured unsupported claims.

So is it doubling from 2 to 4, or from 700 to 1400? Because that’s a major difference.

This is a problem with AI articles on science. They skim other AI articles and repeat without bringing all the important facts with them. Then we get dozens of results for one claim about science, with only maybe one or two original sources.

Then the idea spreads through reddit or whatever forum you prefer.

We know trees share resources, that they have been demonstrated to signal pain and danger to other plants, that they signal food availability to pollinators via electromagnetic fields. We have had hard evidence for all of this.

The mycorrhizal networks are a real phenomenon, and as recently as 2016 were confirmed to share resources between trees.

Researchers exposed certain trees to a specific carbon isotope and found their unfed neighbors were processing that specific isotope despite not being exposed.

We’ve also found that many plants generate interacting electrical fields that help promote pollination and may indicate to pollinators which plants are ready to be harvested.

We’ve also found, by sequencing fungal DNA, that mother trees do have a resource sharing preference for their direct offspring.

We don’t have hard evidence for direct communication between trees, in the sense that we don’t speak tree. We do have hard evidence that they share resources, have preferences, express pain signals externally and other plants react, and can indicate information to other species.

My problem too

Too close to my own dick, gonna try to suck it and get distracted.
