They're not supposed to look like that

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?
  
  It does look worth eating
  
  I thought it was an apple fritter.
- 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 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'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.
  
  And? Also common house cleaners cause asthma, also parental smoking, etc.

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
- 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

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.

Just bought a 500g pack of gas exposed child lungs yesterday from the supermart.
Can't wait to dig in.

Hey, these lungs can fix wood scratches. Nice in a Waldorf salad too.
- Damn I never knew about the wood scratches trick, thanks!

Ayo. That's my fav. Snack
- Think of the CHILDREN!
  
  I think of them all the time. I enjoy them!
- FBI OPEN UP!

Damn, this is nuts.

Deeznuts

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"

I'll admit I looked at this for a while thinking it was a croissant

thats a walnut half
- You're a walnut half!

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

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.

It's nuts what gas ovens do to your lungs

Pretty sure this is a dinosaur brain.

pretty sure that's actually their brains

Gas is stored in the nuts

Where did you get a 10 year olds lungs?
- The golden corral

On a real note, walnuts aren't bad, but pecans and hickories stay winning in the nut battle.
- Imagine pee can

Nah, that is obviously a picture of the lungs of a pot smoker!
- Really, my lungs look delicious!

Shipdit

Cut into strips. Dip strips in egg/flour mixture, then fry in frying pan until golden brown. Drain strips on paper towels and serve with favorite dip or dressing.
- Walnut omelet?

Whatever caused that, it wasn’t the gas oven. I grew up in a house with a gas oven and a mother who obsessively baked.
- It’s a nut
  Have you seen your lungs?

Gas stoves suck but culture war sucks more
- "trans people exist and we want them to be safe and happy, and here are some unbiased scientific studies about how natural gas stoves and ovens affect air quality"
  "STOP declaring WAR on my CULTURE!"

I think there is some surgeon who has got some serious explaining to do. Main questions are:
Why the fuck?!
how the fuck?!
- It's a walnut, silly.
  
  Yeah, and
  Why the fuck did that surgeon implant it?
  How the fuck is it working?!

Oh no bubba, no more feeding the idiots misinformation. LP/NG is fine, living with it for four decades.
Like the 5G morons, its safe. Source: I work with those frequencies for the last 3 decades at way higher doses you get. I'm still alive...
- And cars are 100% safe, I've been riding in cars my whole life and have never died once. So since my experience has shown cars to never hurt me, I don't believe they can be dangerous.
  Do you see how that sounds? The point is, studies are showing that using natural gas stoves can attribute to kids developing asthma, which sucks. So why not move away from that technology to other methods like electric or magnetic stoves which don't have the possibility of causing asthma.
