@Graingy great, now people think it looks weird without the graingy knockoff profile picture.

@Convex glad to know we have that sort of cultural weight in the Tumour.

I think I picked that one up from a Garfield strip...

@keiyronelleavgeek566 Dolt.

@Graingy lol yeah.
also, the other day, you called me a dolt. i have quite a large vocabulary, and i still didn’t know what that meant. i literally had to look it up.
i like how fancy and sarcastic you talk
(oh also i take no offense from you calling me a dolt. i am kinda dum sometimes .-.)

@Graingy yep

@Boeing727200F Both are safe, unless...!

@Graingy well I guess.
lead is safe to work around, as long as it doesn't get inside your skin.
asbestos want to kill you. if it gets in the air you are fucked

Better than lead, arguably.

@Graingy it is all asbestos.
all of it
everything
everything in the 40s through 70s is full asbestos

@keiyronelleavgeek566
Shockingly, there were reasons:

the material was adopted extensively during World War II to make easily-built, sturdy and inexpensive structures for military purposes. It continued to be used widely following the war as an affordable external cladding for buildings.[2] Advertised as a fireproof alternative to other roofing materials such as asphalt, asbestos-cement roofs were popular, not only for safety but also for affordability.[3] Due to asbestos cement's imitation of more expensive materials such as wood siding and shingles, brick, slate, and stone, the product was marketed as an affordable renovation material.

Who'd have thunk?
(I'm being sarcastic, if you can't tell. If there weren't nobody would have used it.)

@keiyronelleavgeek566 people were not kidding, asbestos was in everything around that time

um...why?
