Anyone who knows anything about anatomy knows that this is must certainly not a set of lungs. It's a brain; specifically, it's the brain of anyone who believes everything they see on the Internet.

I thought it was a walnut half.

I always thought walnuts looked like brains BTW.

[–] Wiggles@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

I mean there are one or two questions here. One of the main ones being that if we're looking at these "lungs" I don't think the 10 year old grew up at all in fact.

Please don't give the crazy nuts of the internet misinformation. The amount of gullible people on the internet is too high as it is.

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.

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

[–] Cheesus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (6 children)

It's only safe if the full fume hood is running 24/7. Gas stoves emit a lot more pollution when off than what people initially thought

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.

Is a medical journal-esque photo of lungs NSFW?

Just bought a 500g pack of gas exposed child lungs yesterday from the supermart.

Can't wait to dig in.

[–] Gabtraf@beehaw.org 19 points 2 years ago

Damn, this is nuts.

[–] kindenough@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey, these lungs can fix wood scratches. Nice in a Waldorf salad too.

You're a walnut half!

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

LOL that's a fucking walnut.

Gas stoves are shitty though, they leak minute amounts of nasty shit leading to higher incidence of asthma and other respiratory issues.

nitrogen oxides (NOx), including nitrogen oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and formaldehyde (CH2O or HCHO), and unburned gas containing benzene aren’t anything you want to raise kids around.

So no, it's not going to turn your lungs into walnuts, but yeah, if you have the choice, it's probably better going with an electric stove.

[–] shiveyarbles@beehaw.org 10 points 2 years ago

It's nuts what gas ovens do to your lungs

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

pretty sure that's actually their brains

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure this is a dinosaur brain.
