1. That's not good.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. Guess I'll be gassing uo today....nt

[peppertree]

3. Someone's trying to make sure them oil prices keep rising

[Mariana]

11. They don't need to blow up facilities to make that happen. nt.

[awesomerwb1]

4. False flag to justify increase in prices?

Wouldn't put it past these ********ers.

[mathematic]

6. Saudi Arabia controls the price of oil. They could just, you know, not pump it.

The internet is full of bullshit secret conspiracy theories. There's no need to invent another one.

12. Tin foil hat

You may have missed the tin foil hat icon I used there champ.

Well done!

[mathematic]

15. I certainly did not. And no need to be hostile by sarcastically calling me champ.

The tin foil hat icon does not mean "I'm mocking this idea". When prefaced by a secret conspiracy theory and followed by "wouldn't put it past these motherfuckers" it means "I might be crazy but hey you never know".

It's 2022, seven years after the rise of Trumpism. Long past time to retire it's-a-conspiracy-haha-only-joking posting on the internet.

5. Gee, what could possibly cause an explosion at a petroleum facility

That, like, never happens.

7. Yea, it actually caused a delay in the Friday

Practice session #2 for Formula 1 racing.

[Coventina]

9. Had the same thought!

I don't generally watch practice sessions, but the fact that F1 is in Jeddah this weekend is troublesome.

I really don't understand why they are racing in KSA. Ugh.
They can't even have champagne on the podium.

[Karma13612]

17. I agree completely

It boils down to the various agreements, and contracts, etc.

The drivers do not agree with the Saudi’s and other Middle-east countries human rights violations. But, do they have a choice to say “no” I will not race here? Maybe their contracts require them to drive regardless, or else.

I am thinking about Sebastian Vettel with COVID since before last week, race #1. He is very against the mistreatment and LGBTQ rights violations if I understand correctly. And now with this missile attack, this is pretty crazy.

I can’t believe that the teams have decided to stay and drive. Even the drivers finally agreed, at least as of last night’s news.

I am honestly fearful for them.

8. There is an F1 Grand Prix in Jeddah this weekend (n/t)

[Coventina]

10. Yup.

Don't understand why they will cancel a Russian Grand Prix and still race in KSA.

Makes no sense to me.

[Spider Jerusalem]

13. $$$

same as China, Dubai, Azerbaijan, etc.

[Coventina]

14. It sucks when a sport you love is ruled by money.

Of course, I think that is all sports at the professional level.

(And, increasingly, the amateur level).

*sigh*

18. The Houthis claim they carried out the attack
