    I swear to god I was reading a comment on lemmy not 2 months ago that was joking about them bringing back asbestos. C’mon, don’t be shy. Which one of you jinxed it?

          So long as you don’t eat the radioactive material you should be perfectly fine. Hence why we should not put it on plates.

            Bold of you to assume that a large number of adults are smart enough not to eat them. Just look at the Marines…

      Trump already tried it, or at least dip the toe, on the first term. It was just a question of when.
