Ads for gambling should be prohibited, just like those for tobacco and alcohol.
I bet they won’t be.
They… they have ads in the gas pumps? Do you have to watch the ads before you are allowed to pump?
but what if you pay 75 for an actual tank?
And font forget!!! Your 75 dollars go to an Arab that works with isrealis to kill other Arab. Oh and they fuck little kids…
The pump at my regular gas station used to have a hidden mute button. Hold down the top right button next to the screen and voila no annoying ad noise.
After a a year of this they replaced the pumps and now I cant mute the ads anymore. Sad face.
I’m too bicycle and trains to undestand
To be fair I’ve seen them du this in some french stations. Infuriating tbh.
they are bitching about prices that are still 75% or so of eu prices
Here’s what we Americans have to deal with at the gas pumps
We are paying three dollars more per gallon here in Germany because of the stupid war your country started in Iran, while you are largely unaffected yourself because of your own oil production
America just cares about it’s own interests, and every time I see a country work with them, I’m just waiting for the betrayal to come.
The world is still stupid though and believes that Trump is an idiot, despite him accomplishing his every goal. This place is funny because there are a lot of people here unable to think strategically. They think conflicts between countries are accidents and nobody stands to gain anything. :)
About time people in the us pay what the rest of us have for decades
Yet another EV win 😎😎😎
At least I’ve never seen/heard blaring ads on an EV charger. Nor paid anywhere near $75 at one
give it time… give it time
$100… trump is a cancer on humanity’s asshole.
What a stupid fucking world to live in. Just break the speaker with a knife and pay it forward
All the pumps near me disabled the mute button years ago.
I try this every time and I’ve never had it work :(
Some local hero around here has been stabbing ball point pens into the speakers on them.
Theyre smart to that already, most of the ad pumps I’ve run into have speakers hidden inside the housing that you can’t access anymore, and the “bottom left button on the screen mutes the ad” trick is disabled.
At this stage I just boycott those stations, leave a 2 star review on Google and deal with paying an extra 15c a gallon a couple blocks away.

Why do you have to do me like that dawg. Instant tears.
Making fun of people for pushing back on something you’re never going to do is cringe
God i hope the gas machine ad venders are not actually billion dollar companies. I wonder whos responsible for the madness? What fucking jackass was like “How about screaming gas stations?” “Ya im talking about ear breaking ads!” and then packaged it up and sold it.
??? The gas station is the company. Of which all are multi billion mega corps that all have openly astroturfed and without denial decided to cause the species of human to end in return for taking the last remaining money from poors for their last death party alone with three hookers that no longer can even pretend to like them
It’s called civil disobedience??? Felony vandalism sounds like something a narc would say.
Why not just build your own dirty nuke from parts you got on the dark web and use it to wipe the city block containing the offending gas station off the map completely?
EDIT: Sorry, got to this discussion a little late
For anyone wondering, that is a home made battery pack:
https://github.com/trisp3ar/BNV-BatteryPack/blob/main/Documentation/BNV-BatterPack Documentation.pdfA fun project for anyone with a 3d printer
Drawing of a man holding sign that reads “I require alt text” with a hat reading “alt text hat” and a shirt reading “alt text shirt”.
I don’t like making my civil disobedience posts too easy for government web crawlers to understand. There are ways to discretely hurt electronics without hurting people or risk a fire.
I mean, I get that the bottom half is meant to be a taser of sorts with that cylinder thing being a common ready-to-go component, I just don’t get what that giant loop of wire is meant to be doing. Is it an attempt at an EMP thing? Doubt this will do anything significant.
explain
Diy emp.
HELL YA BROTHER
A dirty nuke would simply kill the people. You want a home-made fuel-air bomb to really destroy those speakers.
Why not walk on some railroad tracks until you find a railroad spike lying around?
Then you could take that spike and stab the screen. 8 screens taken out, and the gas station can’t pump gas anymore. You’d think they get the message before they get to the 8th. If not? Oh well. Their loss.
And if the train gets you first, then the pain will be no more…

i wouldn’t go as far as prison for it, but fuck that brainwashing garbage.
Two stars? That’s generous
Or it’s to fool the review bomb detectors?
Spray foam in any openings lol
just set the gas stations on fire huehue
Why not 1 star?
Most people don’t care about 1 star reviews, because they’re often really fucking stupid.
some of us charge our BYD electric cars from solar panels on our roof and ride our ebikes charged similarly.
but hey, at least you don’t have that one trans kid playing in the girls soccer team /s
I don’t have $50,000 to drop on solar, byd and bice either.
I just got a 2023 id.4 for 20k, and I charge off the grid.
Yeah, the 200% charge and extra 10-20k to get it insurable is a no from me.
Solar roof would be sick though.
Yea i started planning one out this spring and opted for DIY. its still expensive as fuck and i hate myself for taking on the project. But i also cant afford to heat my house with kerosene anymore so something had to break. it was my back and my bank they broke. Not to mention Tariff King bumped the prices up on everything 50% or more. It’s worth the peace of mind, but its honestly a 10k adventure.
Where the fuck do you life where you’re heating your house with kerosene?
Or How’d you get a computer with modern internet in 1904?
A lot of fuels are in use for residential heating in america, and the fuel of choice is usually regional. Example
A lot of homes in the North still use it.
It’s pretty common in the North. Older houses built in the 40s thru 60s that have never been fully renovated. Furnaces are surprisingly resilient
'Murica
'Mercia
God. White people steal literally everything
Hey, leave New Jersey out of this, I don’t pump my own gas!
Exactly, and this is posted (as always) like nothing else exists.
It’s a meme it’s really not that deep. Just say you’re jealous of American technology and want more gambling.
I actively avoid any gas station that uses these.
Which don’t? My whole, small, rural county has them at every pump.
The Casey’s down the street from me doesn’t.
Read that as “country” and was confused, because this is a very 'Murican thing. Not saying it doesn’t exist at all elsewhere, just that it seems to be extremely common in the US and not so anywhere else. There would be riots in a lot of countries if they even tried this.
🤣 it happens.
USians don’t riot.
We do black friday mob shopping instead, some of you will die without having punched an old lady trying to get her grandchild a gameboy, and it shows.
My small rural town, which is clearly thee more smaller and ruraler than thou… still has a 1970s style pump with the big flip up handles and you have to stop it yourself and the numbers are on a physical wheel that rolls. Better think twice before claiming rural there city boi!!
Your rural towns have gas stations? Can you even call it rural at that point?
Rural town near me has 3 gas stations, and they all have them.
They’re also all owned by the same guy and the prices are like 60-70 cents higher than any of the neighboring cities, but since it’s 20 miles to a station he doesn’t own he gets away with it.
We had a store like that, but it closed a couple of years ago. It was also the highest priced gas for the three closest stores.
In my area it’s only the major chains. The privately owned ones don’t, but I think that’s just because their pumps are too old.
Oh. We have independently owned, but they play ads, too. I wonder if they get an incentive compensation for doing that.
Thank you for replying.
Of course they get paid to blare ads
Quicktrip doesn’t have them, and I don’t believe Casey’s uses them.
🤯The QTs a few villages over in either direction here have them!
Oh suck!
100!
Fuck, a hundred already?
