Give yourself to science instead. Surely there are some companies hoping to try new products or experiments on live specimens.

Maybe some trippy new drug. Maybe hot dogs for fingers. Not sure how that all works.

That’s it? You just need to say “you know this actor character we call Tom Cruise in our show, and does the same stuff as the real actor Tom cruise in real life, it’s actually a fictional character unrelated to the real Tom Cruise in real life” and you Gucci?

Nice one.

I think I first discovered this short via Kurzgesagt animated version.

Most European countries I’ve visited have at least 3 bins/bags : paper, plastic, everything else. Most cities also separate glass and aluminium. Some townhalls offer bags/containers for bio trash, that’s turned into compost.

Someone sent me this one recently, and the lyrics are interesting.

Follow-up question for Americans : what happens if you pay for, say 50$ and end up only filling up 40$? Can you go back to the cashdesk and ask for a refund on the difference?

In all EU countries I drove trough, the pump doesn’t auto-start when you unhook the nozzle from the pump. I think the cashier has to manually allow it to start, from their control system/computer.

So I suspect they glance at clients through the shop’s window/cameras, and they don’t start the pump if you look shady (hooded, no plates on vehicle) and they suspect you may run it off.

For example if you ride a motorbike, the cashier sometimes doesn’t start the pump until you remove your helmet / uncover your face (allowing cameras to see your face).

And yes, after filling-up you then need to go pay at the desk. There can be a waiting line if there are more pumps than open cashdesks.

You could easily tank then gun it. But there are cameras everywhere. They have your face & plates.

there a pumps with no human on site at all.

For these we need to swipe a payment method before the pump starts. It locks a sum on your card, say 200EUR, and when you hook the nozzle back it adjusts the payment transaction to only the amount consumed and debits you.

Thanks for the responses.

TIL: Americans pay first, then fill. Now I can understand how you could easily get distracted once it is in and locked.

To clarify : this is absolutely impossible to accidentally happen in the EU, because the payment transaction isn’t completed until the nozzle is placed back onto its support (that’s when the pump shuts off).

We also have trigger-locks on EU pumps.

I saw yet another online post of someone driving off, ripping the whole station off the ground, starting a fire…

We also have trigger-locks on EU pumps.

In the EU the nozzle handle also has a lock-in mechanism. But it looks like the main difference is that in the EU we can’t pay until the nozzle is placed back on the support. That’s what stops the pumping. Until then you’re still paying.

Yeah, same here (most of Europe).

But I think Americans pay first then fill.
