A bartender a few months ago told me electric cars were way more dangerous than ice cars because the batteries emitted a gas that caused cancer. At first I thought he simply got confused and meant the opposite but no, he repeated it: the batteries in electric cars emit a gas that give you cancer.
This is why I could never go electric. I love just sitting in the garage, listening to music for hours while the car runs. I refuse to give up my me time.
Lead acid car batteries can emit a bit of gas, especially the old ones. That’s why when jumping a car you’re supposed to put the negative on the frame. Probably thinks it’s all batteries.
yeah but that’s hydrogen, and you place the terminal on the frame because if it sparks when you connect it the battery can blow up from the hydrogen it’s offing.
Growing up I had a friend whose mom was a little too crunchy and she ended up getting rid of their microwave because she thought the microwaves gave the food cancer and when you ate it you would get the cancer from your food
This particular bartender actually knew about cars, since he had trained as a mechanic or so he said. We were talking about JDM, something about BMWs and so on and that’s how we landed on that topic. I was saying how EVs are all pretty much super cars and then he retorted he would never buy an EV because the battery emitted cancer causing gasses. I retorted with something along the lines of “if that were the case, you should get rid of your phone since they use the same kind of battery” and then he doubled down and I just went “huh” that was pretty much the end of that conversation.
If you mean did the landlord in my local tell me and another local that he was convinced that a Megalodon ate that Titan sub, yes he did. I think he believed it, but I also think part of being a barman is talking shit.

I did not push the conversation any further.
I mean, if you poke the battery, something hurtful comes out of it.
Please don’t poke batteries.
Alternatively… If you operate an ICE vehicle as intended, it emits a gas that causes cancer
Well yes, but he meant like while you drove the car and while it was sitting in your garage.

If you can’t trust a bartender about car stuff, who can you trust?

A bartender told me that Titan got eaten by a megalodon.
Is this true?
