I forgot about the epidemic of gas station explosions due to people sitting in their cars.
I mean, it does happen.
If it is of concern for you, you’re going to lose your shit when you find out the risks involved when you actually drive your car.
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.
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.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

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.
