For those who don’t want to click on a tweet, this woman is attempting to fill plastic bags with gas. Yes, plastic.

1. OH NO! Her car is now a bomb just waiting to go off

[TraceNC]

6. Nah, most of it won't make it to the car in a plastic bag...

7. It Will Get To The Car

The naphthenes & substituted aromatics in gas will dissolve PE. (Assuming typical polyethylene bags.)
But, in hours, not seconds.
It will get to the car. Not sure how much would be left the next morning, though.

14. Gas is already leaking out as she picks it up.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. She's Just Being Sloppy

It's spilling, not going through the bag. I assumed you meant it would dissolve the bag immediately.
Trust me on the nature of polyethylene.
I'm a retired physical organic chemist. I know polymer behavior & solubility coefficients.

17. It's definitely going through the bag.

But congratulations on your amazing achievements!

2. When I was 13 or so, we tried to use a styrofoam cup as a funnel.

That shit was like air. 😂😂😂

16. The Monomer For Styrofoam...

...is very similar to the naphthenes & substituted aromatics in gasoline.
Like dissolves like & they're an awful lot a like.
Styrofoam melts even faster with acetone!
If you poured it into a cup, before you got it 20% full, the bottom of the cup would be gone.
Fun to do on purpose! (There's always wait time in a laboratory. LOL!)

3. Wow, no words.

12. She clearly is a worker probably making crap money

I am giving her a break. Although I do hope someone does talk to her or maybe donate a few gas cans.

You have heard of water balloons,...

Well that was a gasoline balloon,...

What harm could it cause ?

Ka-boom,... ka-boom,...

But hey, what could go wrong?

10. Video is from 2019.

[GemDigger]

11. That is old. I saw it on youtube a long, long time ago.

But it is interesting to watch.

[Takket]

13. i'd love to know how she got into into her gas tank later on...

18. And then put it down on a small sharp stone or sliver in the trunk.
