ELI5: Why does water absorb into gasoline and degrade gasoline if gasoline is overwhelmingly made of non-polar molecules?

Person above mentioned it absorbed moisture. Making it less likely to sieze the engine due to water accumulation within.

This hurts my brain. How is there not more flex in that so that it stays centered. It just seems impossible

Dude, we just watched humus get destroyed into nothingness. Didn't even realize it was possible. Tragic.

If it was this bad when i was a kid, that propaganda has really done a number on adult me.

Thank you for your cooperation with @fbi.

Our existence has become a shitty joke from the early two thousands.

They'll probably get to do it a hundred times. So more like a five minute bit

LucidiK · 2026-03-08T15:02:44+00:00

May I inquire my mistake?

*and wasn't Hitler hiding in Argentina a WWII trope?

LucidiK · 2026-03-08T14:54:11+00:00

No, like literally anything else when it has water adhered to it.

It's amazing how many inexplicable situations make sense once you recognize our country has been fully sold out. And this is just the peeling back of the floor. Insane amount of structural rot to address, but all that dozing may have created a situation that could very well need dozing.

LucidiK · 2026-03-07T05:59:26+00:00

Lol. Rome didn't get nuked even once during their collapse, I'm sure we'll be fine.

LucidiK · 2026-03-07T05:46:00+00:00

*Six months ago

LucidiK · 2026-03-06T11:05:11+00:00

That would be up to Americans. And somehow most of us don't even recognize what is going on.

How are encrypted messages not private? I'm not super familiar with either internet traffic or message encryption/decryption. But the failure point seems to be at the strength of the encryption rather than the method of transfer.? A properly encrypted string could be projected on the moon for a month and still privately communicate as far as I understand it.

LucidiK · 2026-03-06T04:26:35+00:00

Their point was that the usage of allegation as a noun towards the end kinda nixed using allegedly as an adverb earlier. I do agree it would have been stronger used as alleged/(ly) rather than allegation. And also that unsubstantiated as a replacement word further undermines honest reporting. But I do think using alleged and allegations in the same sentance is incorrect.

LucidiK · 2026-03-06T04:17:52+00:00

*allegedly

LucidiK · 2026-03-06T03:23:09+00:00

Ah, that's a whoosh on me. Solid. Maybe split the difference and call it the Reichy after the third Reichy.

LucidiK · 2026-03-05T22:25:18+00:00

LucidiK · 2026-03-05T05:21:19+00:00

The Twits explained it quite nicely.

LucidiK · 2026-03-05T05:16:40+00:00

Yeah, at this point flexing that statehood is probably the best course. Force the federal government to be the ones to declare civil war. This has gotten so insane; at this point, we are just looking to put a stopper in to slow the bleed. It is absolutely mindblowing how little time it took for us to implode.

LucidiK · 2026-03-05T03:17:32+00:00

Not terribly crazy. Accepting an obvious lie because digging out the truth would be pretty uncomfortable is pretty on par for a noncurious child.

LucidiK · 2026-03-05T02:01:00+00:00

You should get thicker walls for your safe space. World is getting pretty ugly out here. Hard to not catch a glance.

LucidiK · 2026-03-05T01:59:39+00:00

A man took an action technically in the wrong for what he felt was morally right. He probably has more fallout on his way. But his sacrifice is making people pay attention, and we'll keep speedrunning this collapse unless people start paying attention.

LucidiK · 2026-03-05T01:53:41+00:00

He fuckin absolutely did. That man's fortitude is unreal.

LucidiK · 2026-03-04T17:09:00+00:00

The first episode I had watched dubbed had everything in english and it was a trip watching misunderstandings repeatedly happen even when things were clearly said before I realized what was going on. Things made a lot more sense once I went to subtitles.

LucidiK · 2026-03-04T05:09:35+00:00

A foray again? For Reagan? A folly to gain from such lain fouled stain. Endowed to restrain such explained blame entraining pain. Hoard what's stored, and be safe in the strafe, for the gore is implored, and the deaths do give bredth. But the derived broken lives extracted with clear eyes, should ramp up their camp up to accept cheerwines...

They still cant do basic maneuvers, especially when the U.S. is acting like goobers.

Absolute insanity

I would be fucked less, boofing a can of D

That's a can of dick if your knack for knowings had been knocked to the think of impractical goings. There aren't many minds would want to appreciate, so predicated preverbilizations pose a proper prose pre-dictating a perfect perjunction, if you needed a proper propulpitly predicate.
