captain obvious to the rescue!
That's nuts
Well met!
I was on tilt because I took the bait. And then I got confused because I'm like this doesn't make sense gas is safe. And then I'm wondering why isn't a pair of lungs on display not flagged as not safe for work. Then I looked at the forum and then I got even more confused because I'm stoned. And then I realize that's a walnut and it's time for a snack. A roasted one even. Boom roasted. What up. Peace out.
Gas isn't safe
Researchers have estimated that around 12-13% of childhood asthma cases in countries like Australia and the United States can be attributed to the use of gas stoves for cooking Source: Nationalasthma.org.au
*Stanford University researchers measured emissions for 53 stoves while on and off. *
[...]
Seventy-six percent of unburned methane leaked out through pipes and fittings when stoves were off.
[...]
A gas stove also pollutes when it is off. A 2022 study found that gas stoves, even when not in use, can leak as much benzene, a carcinogen, as secondhand cigarette smoke. Another study that analyzed natural gas samples found that 95 percent of them contained benzene, for which there is no safe level. That study also found 21 hazardous air pollutants in unburned gas, including hexane and toluene, which can affect the nervous system, liver, and kidneys.

Gas isn't as safe as they claimed in the past.
Yeah gas is only "safe" with a full fume hood. Even then not as safe as they used to think, but most people don't have real fume hoods in their home, or don't even crack a window when they use the gas.
We should at least use propane if we have to cook indoors with hydrocarbons
Is that you, Hank Hill?
God bless the internet. I learned more about gas than I ever thought imaginable in meme@lemmy. I'm sober now so thanks for the good reads and info!
Is a medical journal-esque photo of lungs NSFW?
Better question was, why do we have the lung of a 10 year old
No, it's the brain of the author of this meme
The meme is taking a piss on those images that are shared on Facebook.
Maybe, I don't even go near Fakebook with a stick and without reformatting my drive afterwards to install a clean OS.
Just bought a 500g pack of gas exposed child lungs yesterday from the supermart.
Can't wait to dig in.
thats a walnut half
You're a walnut half!
If you're shocked at what it does to their lungs, wait until you see what it does to their nuts.
Deeznuts?
Ayo. That's my fav. Snack
Think of the CHILDREN!
I think of them all the time. I enjoy them!
FBI OPEN UP!
Why are they spreading misinformation about gas ovens now?
Because someone on some board in a small town in NY said they should dial back on gas ovens in new builds. One side decided to make a huge stink about it and claim the other side is trying to remove all gas ovens.
Happens all the time, like when the white house put out a report that said that reducing beef consumption would help with greenhouse gas emissions (duh), and then all Fox News was talking about for a month was
"Joe Biden is going to personally come to your house and take the cheeseburger out of your very hands"
Hey, these lungs can fix wood scratches. Nice in a Waldorf salad too.
Damn I never knew about the wood scratches trick, thanks!
It's nuts what gas ovens do to your lungs
Damn, this is nuts.
Deeznuts
pretty sure that's actually their brains
Gas is stored in the nuts
I'll admit I looked at this for a while thinking it was a croissant
Pretty sure this is a dinosaur brain.
Where did you get a 10 year olds lungs?
The golden corral
On a real note, walnuts aren't bad, but pecans and hickories stay winning in the nut battle.
Imagine pee can
Shipdit
Nah, that is obviously a picture of the lungs of a pot smoker!
Gas stoves suck but culture war sucks more
"trans people exist and we want them to be safe and happy, and here are some unbiased scientific studies about how natural gas stoves and ovens affect air quality"
"STOP declaring WAR on my CULTURE!"
Some people get mad at any criticism of the consumer products they use, no matter how harmful and no matter what better alternatives exist.
One time I got into it with someone about two-stroke gas powered leaf blowers which do obscene amounts of pollution from carbon waste to allergens, but the other person insisted that rakes or even electric leaf blowers were insufficient for their very specific very special lawn and told me to touch grass and all the usual thought terminating cliches because I said what they were using was bad and that there were better alternatives. 
Cut into strips. Dip strips in egg/flour mixture, then fry in frying pan until golden brown. Drain strips on paper towels and serve with favorite dip or dressing.
Walnut omelet?
Whatever caused that, it wasn’t the gas oven. I grew up in a house with a gas oven and a mother who obsessively baked.
- It’s a nut
- Have you seen your lungs?
