Meanwhile...

Stanford researchers found that cooking with gas stoves can raise indoor levels of the carcinogen benzene above those found in secondhand smoke.

It's really wild how committed dumb people are to receiving Darwin awards for them and their families.

"Vaccines don't work and are a hoax, and it's unrelated people who agree with me are dying from COVID at a higher rate."

"Liberals want to take away my red meat every day of the week and limit how much high fructose corn syrup soda I drink in a day, but screw them. Unrelated, my whole family has diabetes and older members strangely have heart disease and colon cancers..."

People who treat science as a dirty word really seem to have higher all cause mortality. So bizarre and unexplainable.

The bigger crime is businesses that treat technological advancement as an excuse to charge more for what should be the new baseline standard.

Let nature take its course. Hopefully we’ll be rid of them sooner rather than later

The big food companies and healthcare industry want to keep you alive and consuming as long as possible. How shut you feel in the meantime doesn’t affect their bottom line as long as you don’t figure out the connection.

But the healthy people are subsidizing their shirt eating habits with our insurance rates and Medicare taxes. So Darwin and Maddie don’t get a chance to fix this problem and we end up baking our planet.

I see your point, and raise you 20pc McNuggets

And I like how we now have evidence this info was known and suppressed in fear of reducing sales

And also how this would mean gas stoves would require better ventilation to meet code, not that they'd be banned outright

[-] rchive@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, some places have actually banned them.

Article about it

Code changes would probably be a lot better.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

There's only three examples in there, one of which was a true ban but already overturned, and the other two are changes to code that will ban them situationally in the future for new buildings, and aren't even in effect yet

They're literally not banned according to that article
