I'm not sure what your overall point is. The post is about how those things contain a petroleum-based product that's been found to be unhealthy. You said there are lots of petroleum-based products and they aren't bad for you. I posted a link saying that these ones are, and you asked how that contradicted you.
So tell me again what your initial point was?
and it has no bearing on its saftey
Seems like a definitive statement that's contradicted be a lot of studies, which is why these ingredients are banned in the UK. See for instance, https://ucfoodquality.ucdavis.edu/chemical-contaminants/mineral-oil-mosh-moah
The health risks posed by MOSH and MOAH depend on the specific chemical structures and levels of exposure. Their accumulation is observed in human tissues, depending on the specific compound. Long-term exposure has been linked to liver granulomas and potential hepatic damage (EFSA, 2012). MOAH compounds are more concerning as some MOAH are known or suspected carcinogens, mutagens, or reproductive toxins (WHO, 2003)
That is both sad and likely accurate.
Thought for sure it was going to be because of the food coloring, but no, it's because they add stuff made from crude oil.
Maybe he's a vibe journalist.
That quote really is the problematic part. The part about switches is fine - it's an attempt to explain tech to a "normie." But for a tech writer to ever say it's not clear why they settled on 256 is worse than embarrassing. They had to be corrected by tweets.
Anyone whose ever had an intro to computers class has had a computing professional explain computers using simple language and analogies. That's the way this kind of thing should work. It sounds like this author has no more clue about computing than the target audience, which isn't going to work out well for the reader.
I wasn't a big fan of goat
The "Elon first" party.
When they said he was forming one, I assumed it would be that
Exactly. But if it was on both planets, that might indicate that it's pretty ubiquitous.
If we do determine that Mars never hosted even tiny micro-organisms during its watery times, that would indicate it is difficult to kick-start life across the universe.
But if we discover proof of ancient life, that would "basically be telling us the origin of life is easy on a planetary scale," Kite said.
Two planets in one tiny part of one insignificant galaxy. The second statement seems pretty clearly true, but not the first. With a sample size of two out of the incomprehensibly large number of planets, I don't think you can come to many conclusions if one of them doesn't have life.
It didn't seem necessary to say unhealthy things made from crude oil. This is an area that I'm not super knowledgeable, so I went looking. It turns out that the jury is out on whether any of the petroleum-based additives are safe. Even the ubiquitous propylene glycol is getting more scrutiny now, though partly because it's in so many things that people are commonly ingesting more than the levels generally regarded as safe.
