All your friends have lung cancer and you not?
Try liquified asbestos!

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

To be fair, it takes a long time to give you cancer and in the meantime it's really good at not catching fire. Some of the shit people did in the past seems crazy but if asbestos was discovered today we would probably do most of the same shit.

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 17 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Good god. Lemme guess, the propellant in that can are CFCs and they added lead to lubricate the spray since it kept clogging the nozzle. May as well add arsenic for flavor.

It's always interesting how amazing things always turn out to be deadly. Like Ephedrine was a miracle weight loss drug, asbestos is a fantastic insulator, ect. I'm waiting for the GLP1 crap everyone is taking to have insane effects in a few years.

Even oxygen is destroying all life on the planet.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 hours ago

Growing up my parents house had asbestos tiles on the basement floor and asbestos insulation in the attic. Probably had this shit sprayed on the pipes and ducts also. And look at me, I’m perfectly f

And not the slightest hint of PPE in the image. Such a different time. I don't even spray water-based paints without a mask

Sometimes I wonder what kinds of things we're using today that we still haven't found are toxic, carcinogenic or harmful in other ways...

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 5 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I think we're 20 years away from a lot of vaping law suits. Lots of people think they're healthy despite the evidence.

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's pretty well known they're unhealthy, although sometimes this gets ignored. As a non-smoker it bugs me that these sometimes get a pass to be used indoors.

It’s pretty well known they’re unhealthy

Not if you live in the UK. NHS MDs don't make as much as other countries, and the are trivially easy to buy off. So, they use the language "safer than smoking" to cover their cuntish asses even though they know the truth. All the time taking consultancy fees.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 hours ago

I feel like we collectively forgot about "vape lung"

[–] Muffi@programming.dev 8 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Microplastics is a solid contender

[–] Newuser@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Don't we already know they are toxic ?

[–] LuminousLuddite@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

That guy looks just like Scott Bessent.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 12 hours ago

They added some lead powder as well? You know for the taste.

If you've been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation.

call 1-800 at this lawfirm for a free consultation.

[–] FluorideMind@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

At least he has his safety squints on.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

the abestos dust is more likely to cause problems. this isnt specific to to abestos, but silica dust, or some rocks tha tproduce a very fine powder, or anything that produces a fine particulate that can get into the lungs.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

That's oil, not sharp or hard enough to lead to silicosis. Though it probably leads to a whole different problem.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

glycerol + heat = dihydroacetone , known carcinogen.

[–] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

That would be the problem, lol
