Gasoline Sommelier; Charles Kirk

[-] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

I just paid $2.89 for gas...

[-] Majoof@aussie.zone 14 points 11 months ago

Usd for a gallon right? Blows my mind how cheap your fuel is.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 3 points 11 months ago

It's literally a dollar cheaper at my Costco compared to the typical gas chains.

Seems a little...

Suspicious.

[-] Majoof@aussie.zone 2 points 11 months ago

To be clear, even a dollar more is still comparatively cheap. I'm Australian and we're about $2 AUD / L, which is roughly USD$5/gal, and I know Europe and New Zealand are more expensive than us.

It's about $4.3/gal for petrol in Punjab, India

This is an edited tweet, but the timestamp is from March 2022, which was shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine. I think gas prices did go up at that point, but it was still idiotic for conservatives to blame Democrats in the United States for the economic fallout of a war in another continent.

Its the fucking news media. Anything from gas to Dijon mustard is the fucking GOPs complaint and they blast that shit straight into your eye globes non stop. It's like fox sits by the grocery store check out lane and waits for the the first woman with a stack of 200+ coupons to come by to ask what their programming should be.

Subsidized by your government

[-] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Lots of things are subsidized by the government. Almost every basic need of a society is subsidized in the US.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Not once Trump's in charge, I'm guessing.

[-] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

It's still 5.19 around Seattle

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Same. Prices are down or steady. This guy is making an issue where there isn't one for political points. And people will believe it!

[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

And people will believe it!

This is a fake tweet by the way.

You have to chug it Charlie. You can’t tell the difference unless you chug it. Go ahead… we’ll wait right here.

Bon appetit.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

He should try the spicy gasoline. Got to try it real hot.

[-] Nightwind@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Jokes aside this is a real instinct of great chefs - taste everything. I remember seeing a documentary with Gordon Ramsay in which he visited Middle America and investigated the drug trade. In a scene some drug cook mixed diesel fuel with raw cocaine and Ramsay - clearly without thinking- dipped his finger in and tasted it. Instant regret, but he really couldn't help himself :)

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

what

gordon ramsay tasted coke on cam?

[-] oce@jlai.lu 5 points 11 months ago

Imagine a new kind of shrinkflation where instead of the portion reducing, it's the taste of the food that becomes weaker.

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

There is a surprising amount of products where both has been happening - some of them also getting more expensive.

[-] wieson@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

That's what's happening with bell peppers and giant strawberries, isn't it?

Or tomatoes. They don't deliberately grow them bigger and more watery, but they did breed them for transport and automated harvest for decades. So now we have wooden, watery tomatoes that taste of nothing.

[-] oce@jlai.lu 1 points 11 months ago

Also for appearance, they look perfectly round and red so people buy them, instead of the retarded looking half green tomatoes from the farmers market that taste amazing.

[-] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

Could we make a real thing please? Charlie really needs to know how gas tastes.

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago
[-] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Reminder, Sean Hannity still hasn't made good on his promise to be waterboarded on live tv to prove it isn't torture.

[-] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Well… I’d volunteer to force-feed him the gasoline if that’s what you mean.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Getting uncomfortable Three Kings vibes here. I mean fuck Charlie Kirk but ick...

[-] Lophostemon@aussie.zone 3 points 11 months ago

Oh it’s just internet hyperbole. I’m not a violent person no matter how much I detest people like him.
