You think that’s stopping CO2 buildup?

Lol yes
I laugh pretty easily myself :)

Of course some things are more hilarious than others :)

>Cars aren't hermetically sealed

I can agree with that completely.

Not my downvote btw, corrective upvote instead :)

Naturally I often wonder if many people know what Hermetically sealed is all about to begin with.

I do a bit of that in the lab when I seal flammable reference materials inside glass ampules using a torch. But it's not the sealing that counts, it's the technique ;)

If you check Wikipedia, you may notice that the terminology is older than the internet in every way.

Specifically they do not show awareness that it really means "sealed in such a way that it can't be figured out. As if by God. Not just any God but the ancient Roman God Mercury, otherwise known as Hermes when worshipped by the ancient Greeks."

Now I can only assume you have never been in a new 1960's WV beetle when all windows and the manual vents were shut (they didn't have A/C) when somebody slammed the door. You eardrums would remember it if so.

Cars are leaky as fuck. They are more leaky than your house. There is 0 potential of CO2 buildup that is anything remotely close to being harmful.
