  • That's a federal crime. If it's for your personal or household use and under $200 you're fine(unless you're coming from China).

    Doesn't seem like a good time to fuck with border control.

  • TIL USA banned asbestos only in 2024
  • Asbestos in brake pads was banned as a factory item for car manufacturers. No cars are allowed to come new with asbestos in the pads, it was a solved problem for a decade. It was allowed for replacement pads only(until last year when it was banned entirely).

  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?
  • You just get up after pooping, and then pull the TP through your butt cheeks. It's massively inferior, the poop gets spread around when you stand up. I used like 10x more TP as a standing wiper. I will say it's gentler on the asshole though.

  • I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement
  • UK didn't ban asbestos till 2000, 25 years after we knew it was mega cancer.

    1993 for Germany

    1997 for France

    1992 for Italy

    2002 for Spain

    China still hasn't banned asbestos.

    Valuing profit over human life is not unique to the US or even capitalism(if you're foolish enough to consider China a communist state).

  • Leaded gas still isn't banned. Small airplanes still use it, and homes around airfields (including mine, which my family lived in before the airfield) are contaminated with lead. My daughter failed her 12 month lead test because of it despite us excluding her from outdoor activities in our neighborhood.

  • Average lemmy.ml user be like:

    I mean, yeah? Is that really so bad. I guess it depends what the intent was. The town I grew up in was pretty tame, and the room I'd get locked in without food or water if I'd misbehaved had books

  • Cybertrucks have made Hummer ownership less embarrassing.
  • They were both trash vehicles that had no place on the street. They were a danger to their own drivers as well as everyone else unfortunate enough to share the road with them. They had among the worst stopping distance and acceleration in memory. The H1 did 0-60. Eventually. It was something like 20 seconds as I recall. And it took nearly a football field to stop from that speed.
