      People don’t know that siphoning gas is pretty hard on newer cars because of filters and system in place against tampering? They have to be so absolutely stupid. I mean can you believe that?

      To be fair. People probally know the basic concept. But they want information on the best ways, unexpected options for tubes, tips and tricks, how to break into locked gas covers quickly, etc. etc.

      It’s 2026. And it’s normal to learn about things online in many parts of the world. And people have grown up knowing they can extend, expand and enhance their knowledge of things casually by looking it up.

      I know it’s about gravity and getting it flowing, etc. I learned about it in grade school. But I would still look it up if i was faced with having to do it and had access to the internet.

      The process is different now:

      1. Find a tall vehicle with a plastic gas tank
      2. Drill hole
      3. Drain gas into suitable container

        Don’t listen to them, Russian fellows. There is an easier way:

        • Stick a hose in the exhaust pipe
        • turn on the car
        • suck hose real hard until gas comes out
        • fill coffin I mean gas can.

          “Russians should all kill themselves” is what you are saying if anyone is confused. You’d be surprised to learn not every Russian person is an evil terrorist deserving of death. Even if you are a Ukraine supporter you know Russian people live all over the world?

      Got to think about the “average” people you know, and then suddenly realize 1/2 of all people are dumber than that.

      Warning: not good for your sanity to do the above
