Two guys standing at the pump at a Shell gas station. The guy at pump 2 holds up the gas pump nozzle to his ear and tells the guy at pump 1 “Apparently, if you hold a Shell pump to your ear you can hear the shareholders laughing at you”.

      You think you’re commuting in your car at an average speed of 100mph?

      It would probably be over 2 hours in a car, not including any traffic.

      Also yes there is??? What are you talking about?

          Sorry, I generally expect commenters to have completed a secondary education.

          So you said the commute would be an hour driver.

          The time it takes to drive somewhere is the distance / the speed you’re traveling at.

          So if you’re traveling at 100mph for one hour, then you would have traveled 100 miles.

          So in order for the 100 mile commute to take just 1 hour like you said it would, you would need to be driving 100mph the entire time.

          Then also, you think there’s zero in-between with a house in the middle of the downtown of a city and a house 5 towns over?

          So you think a house in the far suburbs of the city costs the same as a house in the city centre?

            You’re building some absolutely wild strawmen out of my living situation you know nothing about. Some weird chronically online ego shit

              I’m literally going solely based on the information given to me and fundamental laws of physics. If you want to point out me what that I’ve said is wrong instead of getting angry with me I’ll be happy to listen :)

              You’re the one coming across as some egotistical weirdo because you took such great issue with the tepid suggestion of not driving if gas is expensive.
