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.
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

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?
Depends on the line of work I suppose. Off the cuff? Nope. For the sake of the joke? Absolutely.
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!
Better question was, why do we have the lung of a 10 year old
Dude was a true hero and donated them for some mid-quality gas memes
