Never thought about the asphalt part, but makes some sense. From what I understand, bitumen is basically the part of oil distillation left over after you distill away all the aromatic(liquid) stuff.
- londons_explore 3y agoIt's actually pretty bad, because spilt diesel makes the asphalt much softer over the coming weeks until it's pretty much a pothole filled with gravel. It's easy to miss a small spill, and only weeks later does a hole appear in the road.
- hanniabu 3y agoSo if you hate someone you can spoil a little diesel in the road right in front of their driveway so they have potholes every time they come and go

- Cthulhu_ 3y agoI'm going to file this one for future reference, :p. I wonder if this is why a lot of residential roads where I live are bricks instead of asphalt. Smells much less worse in summer too. Anyway, if you really hate someone, put brake fluid on their car, it'll melt the paintwork pretty thoroughly.
