When the blue flame fires up on a gas stove, there's more than heat coming off the burner. Researchers at Stanford University found that among the pollutants emitted from stoves is benzene, which is linked to cancer. Levels of benzene can reach higher than those found in secondhand tobacco smoke and the benzene pollution can spread throughout a home, according to the research. The findings add to a growing body of scientific evidence showing that emissions within the home are more harmful than gas stove owners have been led to believe. And it comes as stoves have been dragged into the country's ongoing culture wars.

A youtuber (Negative Legend) once said that you can judge a fandom size based on the amount AO3 fics. To test that theory, I looked at vocaloid series and related subject matter: these are the findings. I can safely say it can be debunked.

(this was also really fun to do)

Also: Ghost has so many series/popular characters that I just put them on the list instead of Communications or Qualia Automata or whatever else

And for software: Miku is vocaloid, Defoko is utau, Teto is synthv, Maki is voiceroid, and Fuka is cevio

I'm also sorry if I forgot any Vocaseries, I am not a walking encyclopedia (though my friends like to joke that I am with all the obscure things I know and obsess over)

Excerpt from this story from the Substack Exxon Knews:

ExxonMobil must pay $725.5 million in compensatory damages to a former mechanic who attributed his cancer diagnosis to years of benzene exposure from Exxon’s products, a Philadelphia jury has decided.

During a week-long trial, former mechanic Paul Gill told the jury his cancer stemmed from handling benzene-laden gasoline and solvents at the Exxon service station where he worked between 1975 and 1980. For more than half a century, Exxon was aware that benzene could cause cancer — but concealed that knowledge from workers and the public in order to protect its profits, his attorneys argued.

Gill was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer, in 2019. He sued Exxon a year later for deliberately endangering him and “tens of millions of people in the United States of America and in other countries for its own financial benefit,” according to the complaint.

In a 10-2 verdict on Thursday, jurors found Exxon liable for failing to warn about that harm, deeming its “defective products” to be a “substantial contributing factor” in causing Gill’s cancer.

“ExxonMobil has known for decades that benzene causes cancer, yet they resisted warning the public and taking basic precautions to limit exposure,” said Patrick Wigle, an attorney for Gill, in a statement. “We’re grateful that this jury listened closely to the testimony and decided that it’s time to hold corporations like Exxon accountable for placing profits over people.”

Gill’s attorneys have cited evidence that Exxon knew workers handling its products would be endangered by benzene, but that the company neglected to take action because it “knew that disclosure of such knowledge would be detrimental to its corporate image and financial wellbeing.”
