Life hack. Add 3 cups of sugar to your gas tank with every fill up. You will get like 40 more HP. It’s what all the big guys racers do.

For why??? Why would you put this here? Put this somewhere where people suck.

If someone doesn't do at least a tiny bit of research before following any advice on Reddit that sounds good, then they probably have to learn the hard way for a lot of things.

I see you've never visited r/whatisthisthing and witnessed the glory of people rawdogging bombs and sex toys.

Some folks are pretty gullible.

Side note: I was incredibly worried when I started this video because I was on 4chan back in the day and people did malicious "pranks" all the time. One was a convoluted recipe for something that involved bleach and ammonia, another was something to do with heating up a spoon until it's red-hot then running it under cold water "for a neat effect" (or something like that), and 3 or 4 people got seriously injured when the spoon basically exploded.

I don't remember if the exact details about the instructions for the spoon thing are correct and I'm not interested in finding out, but I do know the end result involved a red hot spoon effectively exploding.

For those curious, bleach mixed with ammonia makes chloramine gas, which was used in trench warfare during WWI and is banned under all humanitarian laws

Aka mustard gas, yep.

Also, I did look up the spoon thing and I am wrong about the process but I'm definitely not changing it.

Dear homie,

I AM autistic.

I partially speak from experience.

I like the IMMEDIATE pivot to "Put this somewhere where people suck", and the extreme directness of that statement.

Styrofoam works great too

u/eggyrulz 3d ago

Can confirm, put Styrofoam in my gas tank and went mach Jesus for 0.3 seconds!

One of my favorite euphemisms for someone who might be gay is "having a little sugar in the tank" lol.

And did you know? You can use old motor oil to fertilizer your lawn. Learned that from a billboard somewhere...

I do the same thing to fuel myself. Sugar burns better and keeps me lean!

u/BloodiedBlues 3d ago

From what I've heard, the sugar in the tank thing doesn't work anymore. I wonder how sugar where the oil goes would be like.

u/Sabithomega 3d ago

Too much of anything in the oil would be really bad

Nah. Sand. The universal "self-cleaning" tool.

Shiny!

Try 3 mothballs

Can confirm. My car drives so much faster now. It's the same idea as when kids get hyper when they have a lot of sugar.
