Gas Station Simulator starts out with the player driving a car through the desert, pulling into a dilapidated gas station and buying it from the owner. Out of sheer luck, your uncle in the game calls to tell you that your grandfather owned the station a long time ago, and he’s happy to help you revive it. Players have to build the station from the ground up, including breaking down 2x4s to get into the station and driving a front loader to remove sand from the parking lot and pumps. Then the customers start showing up, and you fill up their cars and sometimes give them a tuneup. You even ring up their purchases inside, and just like in real life, the faster you move the line, the more successful you become.

Dad Moves

One Bakersfield, California, dad is unexpectedly gaining popularity on TikTok, and most of his videos are him dancing in the forecourts of gas stations. Tim Dobbs started a TikTok account after watching his daughters have fun with the app, but what started as funny videos of him dancing has turned viral. Dobbs has close to 2 million followers on TikTok, and some videos will get as many as 16 million views. With a gas station as his backdrop, he does whatever dance his followers request that day. Often, they’ll ask him to repeat dances for reasons such as, “Sorry, I was walking my kangaroo.”
