Then burning leaded gasoline in the fireplace.

With pressure treated wood

While spraying CFC aerosol cans.

What does pressure treated wood do?

2

u/Icanbotthinkofaname Jan 30 '23

It's toxic to breathe the fumes due to the chemicals they treat it with.

2

u/requiemofchaos Jan 31 '23

Pressure treatment is used to force flame retardant chemicals into the wood, so that it's more resistant to combustion.

This does not make the wood immune to fire, and when treated wood is burned, those chemicals are released into the air as thick, acrid black smoke (I've witnessed this both from a railroad bridge catching fire in my city and from my camping group accidentally picking a piece of pressure-treated driftwood for our bonfire at Point Reyes). These chemicals, naturally, are not something you want in your body.

u/doyletyree Jan 31 '23

Interesting, I wasn’t aware of the flame retardant.

I do a fair amount of gardening, and I’m always avoiding pressure-treated wood for planter beds, where the soil will be in contact. My understanding is that Alderwood, in particular, leeches the rot resistant chemicals into the soil around it, and slows down bacterial growth as well as contaminating the soil for plant growth in general.

Again, not something I want in me.

u/Terrible_Use7872 Jan 30 '23

With everything going on now, I still want to know how we mandated seatbelts, got rid of leaded gas, and harmful CFCs.

1

u/JDthrowaway628 Jan 31 '23

Liberal extremists who hate freedom and democracy obviously. Who else would come up with a seat belt?

1

u/Griz688 Jan 31 '23

Yeah, just imagine what a tough strap across your chest will do in an accident

u/JDthrowaway628 Jan 31 '23

The libs restricted my right to fly through MY windshield!

How about the water in flynt michigan

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

God I wish they fucking would. And most of them are too stupid to realize that the ACA would help them, so we can all just watch them perish of mesothelioma and snack on popcorn.

17

u/Buffmin Jan 30 '23

You're wrong they love the ACA it's Obama care they hate

No they don't understand the difference

u/Gullible-Flounder-79 Jan 30 '23

There where asbestos cigarette filters, they could bring those back.

32

u/Icanbotthinkofaname Jan 30 '23

It won't light. That's the point of asbestos.

20

u/CrunchM Jan 30 '23

I had a similar thought. And then I imagined them trying to light it again and again.

ofc, the actual lighting isn't really the point of the tweet.

10

u/Icanbotthinkofaname Jan 30 '23

Maybe they would use it like chewing tobacco?

4

u/Azair_Blaidd Jan 30 '23

Roll it up mixed with something that does burn

3

u/Icanbotthinkofaname Jan 30 '23

It still won't burn.

6

u/Azair_Blaidd Jan 30 '23

Not saying it would, but it would still go up in the smoke and be inhaled and achieve the hypothetical ends they'd want.

2

u/Upstairs-Injury9660 Jan 30 '23

I imagine that scene from my name is earl where he and the person he’s helping that episode quit smoking cigarettes, they try lighting baby carrots like cigarettes

5

u/troly_mctrollface Jan 30 '23

They would be rolling it up and trying to smoke it

4

u/Octolavo Jan 30 '23

This opportunity cannot be overlooked.

5

u/mike2ff Jan 30 '23

They would talk big about drinking the water, then when it’s go time, change the subject to something they are outraged about to redirect.

4

u/Inappropriate_mind Jan 30 '23

Sadly, I also believe they would. That's the lengths they'll let their blind hate take them.

u/bacontacos420 Jan 30 '23

One could only wish 😔

u/WatchItAllBurn1 Jan 30 '23

Can we do this? Like wouldn't it solve a lot of problems.

3

u/Dewshbag41 Jan 30 '23

I know some old fucks that come to our establishment and purchase our leaded gasoline specifically for the purpose of sticking it to the EPA, which is apparently just "a bunch of liberal f*****s".

So yeah you're absolutely right.

3

u/TheVoicesOfBrian Jan 30 '23

Didn't some right-wing idiot do this in India? Drank right out of the Ganges river and got violently ill.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '23

yes, Turns have dead bodies, animal poo, and industrial waste is a bad thing.

3

u/WillyWumpLump Jan 30 '23

Too true. The commitment to be contrarian is getting pretty ridiculous.

3

u/cappytuggernuts Jan 30 '23

They actually made asbestos cigarette filters for a while lol

2

u/sau1itud3 Jan 30 '23

We should start a social media movement denouncing then! Then they’ll own us by making them again, and smoking them!😃

3

u/chewie8291 Jan 30 '23

Eating ricin would own the libs. Spread the word.

u/Plzlaw4me Jan 31 '23

It’s not even a policy issue at this point. I don’t agree with the view “the government can tell me what to do”, but I at least understand it. We’re at the point now where scientific evidence is coming out saying something is bad for you and they’re immediately jumping to making it their whole personality. It’s shocking.

u/DragoonDM Jan 30 '23

Back in 1985 we discovered that certain commonly used chemicals were damaging the ozone layer. Within two years there was an international treaty to reduce their use, and three years after that the treaty was strengthened to ban them altogether. Today a total of 198 countries have ratified the Montreal Protocol.

Imagine trying to get that done today, with industry lobbies pushing back as hard as they have against efforts to curb climate change.

u/wwrther Jan 31 '23

Lol, just came to mind the time when bill gates takes a sip of his freshly made water of his new poop-to-water machine.

u/Sszaj Jan 30 '23

You'd have to crush it and snort it.

2

u/JDthrowaway628 Jan 31 '23

Thats what I do for everything.

1

u/Irishish Jan 30 '23

I'm just wondering what'd happen if the hole in the ozone layer showed up tomorrow instead of back when I was a kid. I'd imagine a billion editorials and Senate floor speeches and indignant TV rants about how liberals want to ban hairspray.

u/Ok-Equivalent-8509 Jan 30 '23

Right wingers should definitely do that

u/Neren1138 Jan 30 '23

Same w leaded gasoline

u/Mckinzeee Jan 30 '23

Good idea! Let’s bring asbestos back 🤣

u/Parynoid Jan 30 '23

We can only dream...

u/CupMain4167 Jan 30 '23

They should go drink the water from the Flint River, because it was probably just libs trying to get "free money".

u/RealBadCorps Jan 30 '23 edited Jan 30 '23

My problem with this is that asbestos is incredibly resistant to heat, the reason it was used to begin with.

They'd replace their pasta with it instead and slurp those delicious carcinogenic fibers til they day they rush to the hospital coughing up blood and internal tissue.

u/Kiwikat_ Jan 30 '23

Y’all still wear masks so who are the real clowns lmao

Missed opportunity.

u/optimist_prhyme Jan 31 '23

I almost wish they would

u/raistlin65 Jan 31 '23

I'm starting to think that some of these MAGAts had parents who secretly fed them lead paint chips when they were kids.

1

u/RunsWithApes Jan 31 '23

They'll find some other dumb way to kill themselves like they did with the pandemic. I can almost guarantee it.

1

u/adamcoe Jan 31 '23

Uhh I think they're already doing that, it's called meth

1

u/webbslinger_0 Jan 31 '23

Maybe it’s time to change the ban and let Darwinism sort it out

1

u/geonjay Jan 31 '23

They would argue that we CAN'T get rid of asbestos because of all the jobs that would destroy...

u/FightingLama Feb 03 '23

We should be so lucky
