Oh god. I considered writing in with to pitch myself as a guest on an episode about these âglass toasters.â I worked on a project with these a couple years ago, and Jesus fuck do they suck. I wrote a report (pending publication) about them, and shouted out your podcast in my acknowledgments. Without getting into specifics, I wouldnât be alive today if it werenât for WTYP. You three got me through that project. Ultimately, I decided I rather like working with the org I do, so I didnât reach out to talk. But I look forward to hearing a guest who knows less than I do butcher specifics that would get me fired if I talked about them.

Vehicle Agnostic: when you don't claim to know whether such a thing as vehicles exist or not.
As distinct from Pheroism/Apheroism which are whether or not you believe at least one vehicle exists, and Vehicle Gnosticism which is the belief that vehicles contain a spark of the divine within themselves, which has fallen from the immaterial world into their chassis (which were not made directly by the divine, but by a subordinate creator, humans. [This is the predominant religious tradition in the Cars Cinematic Universe])

In case nobody else has answered regarding the Chained To A Railway trope, from TV Tropes:
"This familiar scenario first appeared in the 1867 short story "Captain Tom's Fright," although a more rudimentary form of it was seen on stage in 1863 in the play The Engineer. However, it really entered the meme pool as a result of its inclusion in the 1867 play Under the Gaslight, by Augustin Daly. (Interestingly, in Gaslight the victim is a male, not a fair maiden - and is in fact rescued by the fair maiden.)
By 1868, it reportedly could be found in five different London plays all running at the same time, and remained a theatre staple for decades. Variations of this trope was used in the films The Train Wreckers (1905) and Buster in Nodland (1912) before appearing in its most iconic form in the 1913 Keystone Komedy film Barney Oldfield's Race For A Life, where it was already Played for Laughs"
"As bizarre (and horrible) as it may seem, this trope is Truth in Television. At least six people in the United States were killed between 1874 and 1910 as a result of being tied to railroad tracks. Of course, it was never as common in real life as in fiction, no doubt because there are more efficient ways of murdering people."
