I usually say just tell me the object of the game and then tell me what to do whenever it's my turn. After a few turns and just observing the game and asking a few questions, I can manage on my own. Way more enjoyable than trying to parse even the instruction booklets.

Yes I'd like it delivered as soon as prime.

What?

It's funny because it's in Bill Burr's voice.

I'm guessing it's a joke about the ridiculous censorship that's everywhere nowadays

Like how many people were involved in this decision? Let's just call it "computer program".

Veritasium just made a great video about the history of Teflon and related chemicals. I got claude to help me put here:

Teflon and PFAS Health Concerns

Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE) and related compounds have several health concerns:

Teflon itself

  • The intact, long-chain PTFE polymer generally passes through the body without being absorbed, as you noted
  • Not considered directly toxic when ingested in its stable form

Related harmful compounds

PFOA (C8) and PFOS:

  • Used historically in Teflon manufacturing (not present in final product)
  • Extremely persistent "forever chemicals" that bioaccumulate
  • Associated with:
    • Various cancers (kidney, testicular)
    • Immune system impairment
    • Thyroid disruption
    • Reproductive issues
    • Developmental problems

Shorter-chain PFAS (including C6):

  • Introduced as "safer" replacements for C8 compounds
  • Still very persistent in environment and bodies
  • Growing evidence suggests similar health concerns to longer chains
  • May be more mobile in environment

Heating concerns

Teflon breakdown:

  • At normal cooking temperatures (below 500°F/260°C): minimal risk
  • At high temperatures (above 500°F/260°C): Teflon begins to degrade
  • At very high temperatures (above 660°F/350°C): releases toxic gases including:
    • Fluorinated compounds
    • Particulate matter
    • Can cause "polymer fume fever" in humans (flu-like symptoms)
    • Fatal to birds due to sensitive respiratory systems

Recommendations:

  • Don't preheat empty pans
  • Avoid high-heat cooking with Teflon
  • Replace scratched or damaged Teflon cookware
  • Consider alternatives like cast iron, stainless steel, or ceramic

I have never has success with stainless steel but I will definitely try the heat/wipe/fresh technique if I get a chance.
