… and lungs.
No mask, enclosed space, right up in there with your face
That’s why he’s making that face
Carrying this instead of pepper spray /j
Great, so the person attacking you dies in 20 years.
Oh, you wouldn’t need to spray it. No one would want to stay anywhere near you if you had a can of asbestos in your hand
Might be a lot faster in liquidized form
Asbestos shoveling competition
Looks safe to me, they are outside so it has perfect ventilation!
That seems unwise.
It’s breath taking
Spray on insulation that is fire and mould resistant. Sounds good
As it so happens, asbestos is actually much less harmful when you drink it, because it doesn’t get lodged in your lungs. (Iirc) So having asbestos pipes is fine
Yes, but having an aerosol spray is terrible
I’ll bet that’s super safe and will never have any drawbacks ever for all time.
I learned there were asbestos tobacco pipes like a week ago. Humanity really didn’t see any of this coming.
Asbestos tobacco pipes are insanely rare and collectible these days, though. No one dares smoke them, more historical discussion pieces.
We used to drink radium too.
Ah the famous picture of a guy who’s lower jaw just fell off after he kept drinking this.
Similarly well known ‘radium girls’.
Horrific cases.
I guess People will look at plastic in the future like we look at lead and asbestos now…
It’s impossible because there is no control group for microplastic
I think it will be much less pronounced. The negative effects of plastic in the body are relatively unknown, but IMO I think it will mostly pose as neurodevelopmental-like symptoms which won’t be able to compare with either lead or asbestos.
And the environmental consequences? The majority just doesn’t worry about that.
It definitely won’t be as bad as asbestos where inhaling just a single fiber can cause cancer. Lead, maybe, but lead is still widely used. Just not in normal fuel. We still use it in some aviation fuel though.
There are also many types of plastic with very different chemicals.
I wonder if the next asbestos is carbon fibre, as it’s a popular infill for 3d printing, yet it is also made of nano needles that can destroy people’s lungs (at least large scale, it’s why it’s usually cut underwater).
We never care of what’s coming, we invent/discover something and use it for freaking everything instead of studying long term impact. It happens all the fucking time.
Like with aspartame. There was no legit long term studies done until recently and it showed that aspartame can reduce intelligence
Wow. Thanks for mentioning this. I had no idea.
I found this study published in the journal of the American Academy of Neurology just last year. The results are kind of horrifying. And it’s not only aspartame – they made similar connections with other low-calorie sweeteners.
Asbestos really seemed like a miracle material. Its so easy to pull out of the ground and process into anything from tiles to fabric to brake disks. It’s abundant, cheap, and easy to mine. In a world where it seemed everything was always catching on fire, asbestos was magically fireproof. It was saving houses and children and housewives from going up in flames if they got too near a stove or fireplace. It was revolutionising industry, making workplaces safer and more efficient. I really don’t blame anyone for using it everywhere in those early years.
But greed took over after asbestos products flooded the market and the major health hazards became apparent. The corpos and the govts were too greedy and scared to admit it was dangerous, because that would mean choosing to dismantle a billions-dollar value strong industry and start recalling everything.
Exactly this. I knew this old retired fighter pilot guy, and he had asbestos gloves he held onto from his service days. He let me play with them at a BBQ once. You could straight up shove your hand into a pile of burning coals, hold it in your hand. Cool to the touch. It really seemed like magic. It really is a wonder-material. If not for the afromentioned cancer…
What’s a ‘hot-air register’?
Essentially a vent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(air_and_heating)
but closeable.
the tingling let’s you know it’s working.
Did you know? Clean, fresh air has a natural tingling effect. Most places these days are so polluted with toxins that we never experience perfectly clean air anymore.
That’s where asbestos comes in.
Asbestos. is there anything it can’t do?™
To be fair it was kind of magical other than, you know, the cancer thing.
Guy doesn’t have to worry about that, he’s been smoking 90 cigarettes a day since grade school.
He’s also only 20.
And when he inevitably dies from cancer, no one will know if it was the asbestos, the cigarettes, the daily bottle of Bourbon, the lead, the Desert Rock exercises, or the Agent Orange.
The plus side of it being liquid is it probably wouldn’t be very friable and not wind up in your lungs, until it dries out that is.
Sounds perfect for face painting
I’ve had deep fried kool-aid at the state fair before, so I bet this is pretty friable
how do you even begin deep-frying kool-aid
You’ll have to freeze it first
I can just feel the
