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.
That’s what you get for thinking you pecan
The difference being?
A half nut vs a total nut
Some nut is better than no nut at all
Yeah, I always prefer September over November
It does look worth eating
I thought it was an apple fritter.
You said the same thing about my pet hamster, quit eating random things.
It’s not smooth enough for that.
I always thought walnuts looked like brains BTW.
I mean there are one or two questions here. One of the main ones being that if we’re looking at these “lungs” I don’t think the 10 year old grew up at all in fact.
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.
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.
I’m confused maybe. I’ve heard of gas stoves, but how does a gas oven work?
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.
ChatGPT, is that you?
The “use4” makes me think Wikipedia
Or Bing AI
We’ll, that’s just nutty!
By making a small fire inside the oven?

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.

And? Also common house cleaners cause asthma, also parental smoking, etc.
Yeah, which is why you shouldn’t use strong household cleaners around kids, and should only use it with proper ventilation and a respiratory device if warranted. And smoking is bad, don’t do it around your kids.
“Why should I stop doing one harmful thing when I knowingly do a lot of other dumb harmful things.”
I’d say compulsively spritzing Febreze would have more to do with asthma than gas ovens, but I know a bunch of Karen’s that still go through a costco pack of the stinky fucking things a month, all over the furniture their kids eat, play and sleep on.
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.
Gas isn’t as safe as they claimed in the past.
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
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
Yeah many people don’t “shut off” their stoves. There’s a pilot light constantly emitting a little bit of benzene. The apartment unit I lived in for years had gas stoves with pilot lights in all the units
Most gas stoves I’ve used have electric starters, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one with a pilot light. I’m in the US for reference, not sure how it is elsewhere.
The only pilot lights I’ve ever seen were on massive professional restaurant ranges with big 24/7 running fumehoods so…
Your average at home stove without a pilot light leaks around ~20% of the benzene as a burner on high.
I had one when we lived in a house with propane. Anyway, the oven had a pilot flame but the burners had electric igniters.
Is that you, Hank Hill?
Wonder where EU city gas would be on a good - bad scale. I have never heard about the dangerosity of gas stoves except the obvious (it’s like burning) here in France and we cook & heat water with it.
They also leak small amounts of methane when not in use so the kids would have to be running 24/7.
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
lol
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

My cabal has been wasting our time drinking the blood of children when the true elixir comes from eating their lungs!

Who doesn’t like a nut? A walnut!
That’s nuts
Well met!
TIL gas ovens turn your lungs into walnuts
That’s a walnut you pinecone
captain obvious to the rescue!
No, it’s the brain of the author of this meme
The meme is taking a piss on those images that are shared on Facebook.
Maybe, I don’t even go near Fakebook with a stick and without reformatting my drive afterwards to install a clean OS.
That to dangerous, you have to at least get a new identity and flee the country. Burn everything and start from scratch
I love living on the edge
Ayo. That’s my fav. Snack
Think of the CHILDREN!
I think of them all the time. I enjoy them!
FBI OPEN UP!
Just bought a 500g pack of gas exposed child lungs yesterday from the supermart.
Can’t wait to dig in.

Why are they spreading misinformation about gas ovens now?
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.
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.

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.
Hey, these lungs can fix wood scratches. Nice in a Waldorf salad too.
Damn I never knew about the wood scratches trick, thanks!
If you’re shocked at what it does to their lungs, wait until you see what it does to their nuts.
Deeznuts?
