My theory is a huge cause of cancer in the modern world are poo poo like Glade Plugins and diffusers and poo poo like that. It's loving harsh, noxious chemicals, that you're purposely aerosolizing into your home. Seems insane.

Literally the smell of any of those air fresheners makes me ill and gives me a headache. I can't understand why you would put that poo poo in the air you breathe

My roommate loved to use 'scent booster' in his laundry. What scent are you boosting???? Why are you boosting it?? The answer to the first question is the nauseating unnatural 'fresh' scent and the second is 'I dunno I like it'

The answer to the first question is the nauseating unnatural 'fresh' scent and the second is 'I dunno I like it' It coats the scent in nano-particles that help it pass the blood brain barrier easily, it can also permeate level 4 biohazard suits. No one is safe from scent now.

One of my current theories is that at some point in the near future, we're going to learn about how something commonplace and believed harmless will turn out to be the cause of a major issue. And it's going to be really weird, like butter causes racism, or the USB protocol causes appendicitis or cushion covers trigger peanut allergies.

I've worked in print for more years than I care to think about and photo labs before that, back before digital photography killed film. Given all the chemicals I've been exposed to in my working life I figure I'm bound to end up with some form of cancer or another eventually. Also, print is one of the industries that has a higher-than-average rate of people who develop Parkinson's compared to the general population, so yeah.

Use a vent fan and don’t overheat the pan. What you’re really got to watch out for is microwave popcorn.

What about fly spray. I cannot work out why the gently caress it is used. It literally kills living things with chemicals, why are people ok spraying it around their house? If the bug is upsetting you that much just swat it or step on it or something idk

not sure how accurate it is, but going by a woman chemist on public radio who's a modernday Rachel Carson, making everything fire resistant is pretty decent cancer risk.

The rules about fire resistance in kids clothes in the U.S. are kind of ridiculous. If you have a shirt in a child’s size, and you print an image of the Moon on it, gently caress you, that’s now sleepwear because the Moon is associated with the night. Now it can’t be made out of pure cotton because cotton does not self‐extinguish.
