      Pedantry is fact checking a comment, figuring out it would actually take around a cup (or 1/4 liter) of gasoline, then figuring out how to convert that to drops and pointing out it would actually take close to 4,700 drops, not just a few.

        Smart-assery is replying how it can still be consumed as just a single, very large drop.

          Smart-assery is replying that gasoline doesn’t have enough surface tension to form such a large drop.
