Lead acid car batteries can emit a bit of gas, especially the old ones. That’s why when jumping a car you’re supposed to put the negative on the frame. Probably thinks it’s all batteries.

A bartender a few months ago told me electric cars were way more dangerous than ice cars because the batteries emitted a gas that caused cancer. At first I thought he simply got confused and meant the opposite but no, he repeated it: the batteries in electric cars emit a gas that give you cancer.
I did not push the conversation any further.

yeah but that’s hydrogen, and you place the terminal on the frame because if it sparks when you connect it the battery can blow up from the hydrogen it’s offing.

A bartender told me that Titan got eaten by a megalodon.

I mean, if you poke the battery, something hurtful comes out of it.

Alternatively… If you operate an ICE vehicle as intended, it emits a gas that cauzes cancer

Well yes, but he meant like while you drove the car and while it was sitting in your garage.
