Unleaded tastes a little tangy. Supreme is kinda sour, and diesel tastes pretty good -Ricky, The Trailer Park Boys.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That was my first thought too, followed by "should've tasted diesel in stead" πŸ˜„

I read that as "in steed" and was momentarily very concerned for a non-existent horse.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago

You say shitpost, but this is or at least was reality. During the worse of times, gas could be either counterfeit or diluted and the best known way to tell on the spot was by taste. Even then, you couldn't be sure so you had to feel how the car drove after refueling.

There's probably lots of deadened tongues in countries with fuel supply issues.

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

So I know everyone is thinking this may be gasoline, but have no fear: it's urine

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Those are all diet gasoline, gimme a cup of that good old fashioned sweet leaded gasoline!

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Head to your local gen aviation airfield. It's like Whole Foods for gasoline aficionados!

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Bleh, I actually tried to get a job refueling airplanes, but apparently either they just didn't like me and wanted to hire a friend or family member, or the fact that I previously worked at Texaco went against some company policy. 🀷

One, flashbacks to being about four or five and deciding to try that teacup full of something my dad was using to clean a carburetor or similar. Do not recommend.

Two, in junior high I did a science project to see what would kill seedlings quickest: bleach, windex, or gasoline. Water was the control.

massive, unpredictable spoilerIt was the gasoline. I was a weird kid.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 8 points 2 weeks ago

Most gasoline in your area is gonna come from the same port or distribution facility.

Some companies might order additives mixed in when they load it into the tanker truck but it's the same base gas.

I like that he's being environmentally friendly by using metal straws.

Or is that because real straws would disintegrate in the gasoline?

[–] DNU@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

its an EU taste test. No plastic straws allowed.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Oddly enough, the ld50(how much to kill half the people who would drink it) is well over a gallon for gasoline.

Not that it wouldn't cause problems, but he would be alive if he drank all of that.

*edit- I'm getting conflicting results on this, now. Some sources have the ld50 at less than a quart for an adult.

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm pretty bad at estimating anything, but those are 5 large glasses (albeit not fully filled), surely he's at least approaching a gallon, if not more?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 weeks ago

Those cups look to each have about 20 ounces in them, so about 100 oz total.

However, I just went to double check and I'm getting conflicting results on the amount to ld50, now. It may be as low as 14 ounces for an adult.

[–] LifeLemons@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does gasoline really taste differently from differnet companies? I thought gasoline is gasoline?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Probably, some gas has various amounts of ethanol and other proprietary blend additives to supposedly make your engine run better/smoother.

I dunno though, I'm not exactly in the habit of tasting the stuff. As long as the gas station doesn't have a reputation of having water in their gasoline, I just get whatever the cheapest plain unleaded I can find that day.

I do this every time I go for diesel….gotta make sure I buy diesel not petrol.

[–] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

We all know that Costco has the best gas

[–] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Seems real to be, people lick toilets for views so let's make this meme a reality guys!

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

"WTF? This Shell gas does not taste unleaded at all!"

[–] enbyecho@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

That is NOT how you huff gas, man.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Chat, how do I make friends like this?

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

At the gas station, I would think

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm to lazy to clean both the metal straw and the rubber covers, I just clean the metal straw and forget about the rubber part. So I guess not around me.

[–] Foreigner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

If anyone is wondering I'm petty sure gasoline doesn't foam like you see on the top if you look close enough. The colour is also clear or very slightly yellow (unless additives have been added), so the colour on these doesn't look right. It's more than likely a joke using beer.
