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.

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.

[-] mestari@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

This one's nut even that bad. Gas ovens are proven to cause asthma. Someone believing those are actual lungs wouldn't be that bad.

[-] catreadingabook@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

I'm confused maybe. I've heard of gas stoves, but how does a gas oven work?

[-] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Gas ovens work by mixing natural gas and air to produce heat. When the thermostat is set, a fuse lights the gas as it seeps through a burner snaking inside the oven. The burner has multiple holes in it for the lighted gas to escape from, allowing the heat to spread throughout the oven's interior. Modern gas ovens have electric pilot ignitions that create a small, continuous flame that increases in temperature and height by twisting a corresponding knob to the area in use4. The temperature of the oven stays consistent throughout the entire cooking period.

By making a small fire inside the oven?

[-] DeepFriedDresden@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

https://slate.com/technology/2023/01/gas-stoves-asthma-paper-headlines-kids.html

Gas ovens are not necessarily going to cause asthma. You can mitigate the amount of air pollution that they produce but having a gas oven doesn't necessarily mean a child will develop asthma or that they will even be the cause. Florida has a very small amount of gas stoves and yet have a median share of asthmatic children. There's too many other factors that can effect the data link to say for sure that gas ovens are a leading cause.

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 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

gas is safe

Is a medical journal-esque photo of lungs NSFW?

TIL gas ovens turn your lungs into walnuts

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 years ago

No, it's the brain of the author of this meme

[-] Double_A@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago

The meme is taking a piss on those images that are shared on Facebook.

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

Can't wait to dig in.

[-] kindenough@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago

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

Why are they spreading misinformation about gas ovens now?

[-] Enigma@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

Because someone on some board in a small town in NY said they should dial back on gas ovens in new builds. One side decided to make a huge stink about it and claim the other side is trying to remove all gas ovens.

[-] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

Happens all the time, like when the white house put out a report that said that reducing beef consumption would help with greenhouse gas emissions (duh), and then all Fox News was talking about for a month was

"Joe Biden is going to personally come to your house and take the cheeseburger out of your very hands"

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.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-health-risks-of-gas-stoves-explained/

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.

[-] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago

If you're shocked at what it does to their lungs, wait until you see what it does to their nuts.
