My truck is electrocuting me

Not sure if this sounds crazy but today basically every time I shut off my car and went to the cargo area, the first metal object I touched (door frame, shelf, etc…) would give me a static shock ranging from minor to a few nasty ones that actually kinda stung. If I didn’t touch anything metal fast enough, I would get shocked by the floor. Eventually I figured out a method where I held the steering wheel and fist-bumped the bulkhead door frame after it opened, which minimized the shock feeling pretty well. Anyways, has anyone heard of this? How would I even write this up in the dvir lol. I know this is a hard job but I didn’t sign up to be electrocuted 200 times a day

Every time you plug in / pull a plug out of a socket you are approximately less than an inch away from potentially electrocuting yourself to death.

β€œThe greenhouse gases emitted from cow farming probably isn’t a big deal, I mean the Jaredites farmed elephants and everything turned out fine.” From an actual conversation.

I live in an area with a lot of cow farms, and one of the farms emits this huge flame sometimes. I was at a mostly tbm family gathering and asked what that flame was for. My uncle explained that it supposedly helps manage all the methane produced from cow manure. That was when he said it was kind of ridiculous because cows are nothing compared to what the Jaredites must have been doing with elephants and they didn’t ruin the atmosphere.

Where do you even begin with that one? The Book of Mormon just says the Jaredites had elephants, not that they had elaborate elephant farms all across the continent. And do elephants even produce more methane than a cow or are we assuming they do just because they’re bigger? It just amazes me how people will ignore science because of something vaguely implied by their holy book.
