All your friends have lung cancer and you not?
Try liquified asbestos!
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.
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
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.
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…
I think we’re 20 years away from a lot of vaping law suits. Lots of people think they’re healthy despite the evidence.
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.

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.
I feel like we collectively forgot about “vape lung”
Microplastics is a solid contender
Don’t we already know they are toxic ?
That guy looks just like Scott Bessent.
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.

At least he has his safety squints on.
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.
[sucking on vape] really?
That’s oil, not sharp or hard enough to lead to silicosis. Though it probably leads to a whole different problem.
glycerol + heat = dihydroacetone , known carcinogen.
That would be the problem, lol
The first cigarette filters used asbestos.
Yeah we’ve had first cancer but what about second cancer.
Hobbit and Ork culture overlap a bit, it seems.
I hate how every time we come up with a new “miracle” chemical that solves really big issues it ends up being either carcinogenic or devastatingly harmful to the environment.
It’s like how we almost made bed bugs extinct in America but the chemical being used was causing cancer and birth defects.
Why can’t we have nice chemical things!?!?
that would require us to be in control of our own lives, instead of rich owning us. thorough research costs a lot of money and resources. it would cut into profits and some rich guy might not be able to buy third yact.
We discovered plastics, which pretty much is a miracle chemicle, they’re mostly not even that harmful unless you make a gigaton of it and just kind of dump it absolutely everywhere

First there was just cheese. Then we refined that cheese into plastics. Because cheese is just a mere handful of polymers away from plastic. And you wonder why you get constipated when you eat too much cheese…
Then we got better and developed celluloid to make exploding billiard balls and false teeth from. It also got used to make pocket knife handles because you could make the most beautiful tortoise shell handles and Mother of Pearl, (the tortoises and oysters were very happy about that). And colored handles were bright and vibrant and stayed that way. But the off gassing would often rust the blades to dust in short order.
Today, we have a thousand different plastic formulations for a thousand different uses. And it’s everywhere from soda bottles and cell phones, to cars, airplanes, artificial hips, and rocket ships. And even your balls.
It’s a brave new plastic world.
I do like cheese
Glares in microplastics in my balls
glares at microplastics in his balls
If they turn see-through then you have too much micro plastic content in them I think.
That’s a different issue, ballsack plasticity
H2O is a pretty nice chemical, that makes people drinking it less thristy, and is good for plants and animals as well. Just be careful that you don’t have too much of it, and you are good.
⚠️Stay away from dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO).⚠️ This dangerous chemical shows an 100% fatality rate for those who have consumed it, and can cause instant death when inhaled.
True story: drinking actually pure water can kill you.
For the ignorant down vote:
• Direct effects on the intestinal mucous membrane, metabolism and mineral homeostasis or other body functions. • Little or no intake of calcium and magnesium from low-mineral water. • Low intake of other essential elements and microelements. • Loss of calcium, magnesium and other essential elements in prepared food. • Possible increased dietary intake of toxic metals.
We can. Plenty of good stuff. Or at least, not terrible stuff. But it makes more profit to get something out quick and see how it goes than do long, serious, costly research before releasing a product.
Well that and there’s always the manufacturing issue wherein you could make something that does everything you want but it’s a bitch to manufacture, maintain, or install. A good example is lead pipes were a known issue but the hope was that calcium buildup would help solve the problem before it became a problem, galvanized steel technically existed at the time but manufacturing it in the quantities needed was a bitch and Iron pipes would just burst constantly so that was dead in the water.
Why can’t we have nice chemical things!?!?
Because we live by the p-value today. We’d rather get eaten alive by bed bugs every night for the next 60 years instead of having up to a 20% increased chance of developing cancer when we turn 73.
Doromad radioactive toothpaste.
Cancer… in a can. That would make a banger ad.
Imagine naming it ass best os.
Where can I check out this distro?
That’s a sick-ass comic!
