  Fun fact, #1 cause of gas station fires is static electricity, most likely from people sliding into their cloth seats while waiting for gas to pump. This is why some states don’t have the tabs that keep the pump going.

    In my country you’d have to hold the handle.

  When I was young and dumb, I really tried to ignite gasoline with lit cigarettes, and it seemed impossible. The results would have been the same with water.

  I’m sure it’s possible in just the right conditions, but it doesn’t seem easy.

  Surprisingly not as dangerous as you’d think, ignition point of gasoline is higher than the typical cigarette. Not safe by any means, but under normal conditions a cigarette will not ignite gasoline vapors

    fyi you can put alt text on an image by putting it between the square brackets

    Might not be a great option for long and detailed alt texts describing all the text in a comic, but for something simple like this it’s much more convenient for people with screen readers.

  They tried to tell me you can’t drink bleach, but Trump showed me they were all fucking liars! And here I am now, recovered easily from the 5G that melted my throat!

  You definitely can. I regularly do. If that upsets you, good.

  They try anything to prevent me from propelling myself over the Antarctic ice wall.

  The workers at my local gas station go outside of the shop to smoke. I once asked them if that weren’t dangerous and they said they have a ventilation system that pushes the vapors out the other way and that it’s fine to smoke here (it’s still disallowed as per house rules but they don’t really care)

    The giant ball of engulfing fire coming out of the gas tank and pump handle might have a persuasive argument.

  Smoking next to a gas pump is one thing… lighting the cigarette is another.

  I mean, you can. Probably shouldn’t though.

    You can do it but only once

      Really depends on several factors. Such as ambient air temp, temp in the underground tanks, wind, precipitation, fuel where it isn’t supposed to be…

      You can do it more than once but you flip a coin every time on whether you’re gonna do a Johnny Blaze cosplay.

    Same counts for smoking in general.
