They’re fucked. Not because of the asbestos, but because of their clear disregard for personal health and safety. God speed you crazy bastard.
New TikTok challenge: do a line of an unknown vaguely powder-like substance. The game ends with the death of somebody deemed cool/attractive enough to care about.
Which is worse: a line of asbestos, or a line of grounf-up fiberglass? I can’t imagine either is going to do your lungs any good.
From what I understand, asbestos is far worse. Fiberglass causes irritation but that’s about it. Asbestos, while it takes its time, will eventually cause mesothelioma and you really don’t want that.
Really? That’s surprising. I would think inhaling a bunch of ground glass would severely damage your lungs, permanently.
Yeah, and asbestos does that too and then gives you mega cancer in about 20 years.
Fiberglass is very smooth compared to asbestos, at a microscopic level. That’s what makes asbestos so bad - it gets in there and works its way further in, like a porcupine quill. Fiberglass is by no means healthy, but it’s a fair bit less harmful.
Asbestos can get to such a fine point that it can literally physically cleave DNA. Edit: I think I am wrong about that, please see my comment below
Holy shit what
I may have been misinformed, actually. Looking into it further, it seems like mechanical interference in cell division was ruled out. However, it seems there is some evidence that among other things, fibers beyond a certain length cause macrophages to essentially get destroyed trying to engulf them, which contributes to chronic inflammation, which is a big risk factor in many cancers
It’s a bit above my head but here is a study I found https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7082251/
Thanks for the study
ASBESTOS CAN GET TO SUCH A FINE POINT THAT IT CAN LITERALLY PHYSICALLY CLEAVE DNA.
THANKS
Fiberglass probably won’t feel nice and might leave some permanent scars, but iirc, asbestos will do that and then some, but with particles so small that your body can never fully get rid of it
I thought fiberglass causes silicosis?
Both travels down to the aveola level IIRC, but asbestos has a small toxic atom that gets left there, which us why asbestos is so bad for your health.
He made it through the FA part of this story. The FO part will start anytime.
This could be the intro to a Chubbyemu vid.
“He made ‘a’ recovery”
I have a friend who did a line of jelly crystals to avoid taking 2 damage in a game of MTG, but this is a new level of stupid.
I watched a kid in school snort a wad of wasabi. This was around the same time jackass did it. The thing that stood out the most was how instant the vomiting was.
Bro I’ll do 2 damage to my damn self to have mana. The only number that matters is 0.
Buddy must have had less than 3 life.
No, the dumbass had 20, and he still lost the game.
Well, I stand corrected.
