You're not allowed to use that dye in cosmetics because of the risk of cancer so it's probably a good idea not to ingest it, either.

To bring anything to market you probably have some sort of animal tests on any novel or new material to classify how much cancer something is going to give you. It's a question of how much cancer at what sort of dose for nearly anything that can make it inside your body. We're a big bag of DNA just waiting to go wrong.

Because the California law says any increased chance of cancer is cancer causing and because most things cause cancer if they get inside you, we get the joke that everything in California needs labeled with the sticker. There's a subset of the joke for real hazcom aficionados that you shouldn't buy anything without a California cancer sticker because it means the the manufacturer willfully doesn't know what the thing is made out of so the contents can't be known to cause cancer.
Some stuff hasn't been tested by the FDA because it was classified as "GRAS" or generally recognized as safe a long time ago.

There's a lot of lovely candy. Something as banal as a stale toffee werther's original can't be the worst, surely.

GRAS should be considered unrelated to prop 65. To it's credit or discredit, it considers dosage as typically used by the industry compared to reports of toxicity etc. so that things that unequivocally cause cancer by the prop 65 definition end up on the list.

Additionally California builds it's list out of any study remotely rigorous, not just by manufacturer or regulatory programs.

There's several GRAS ingredients that are outright on the prop 65 list. Easiest to find by googling being preservatives BHA and BHT.

Joke remains if you're looking at a consumer good (food, durable, clothing etc.) and can't make it give a rat cancer, you're not trying hard enough.

Skittles are cool for that 4 - 6 year period you feel bad and your kidneys are dying but don't think its doctor worthy and there's no nerves on the internal organs so if you think they hurt that's bad.

I bought some fingerless gloves (yes, because I am cool) from Amazon and they came with one of those California style warnings for the presence of diisonyl pthalate (DINP), a plasticizer, that is in like every drat thing. Maybe it was because I was super high but I went down a rabbit hole reading studies and Wikipedia and stuff and drat that poo poo will gently caress you up, and gently caress your babies up, and your ability to procreate. Especially if you are a zebrafish.

It is on like every drat plastic item and it's illegal throughout Europe. But because in America we are extra strong and resilient and against Wokeness, we scoff. If we let the regulators win, then Chinamen will run roughshod all over America's supple frame. "Counter-terrorists win!"

Yeah but there’s also the same warning on firewood. So it’s kind of like a balance between FIRE BAD and A Brave New World, and the whole is state is really just a sadbrains slough that’s just going to break off into the ocean and be sublimated by a merciful earth spirit anyways and people will rediscover it’s beauty in 12 billion years when they go as far in one direction as they can, by land or sea, and say WOW A FUCKIN BEACH and start the whole shitup again. :downs:

Just seems like another big flex from a bunch of extremely stupid people trying to appear smart on some science poo poo. Everything is just random guesses by loving deadbrain idiots and people who are placated by like a 3% return rate of those guesses vaguely resembling some portion of the truth or something that an intelligent person who doesn’t live here said sometime.

California started charging everyone 10 cents per (supposedly reusable) plastic or paper bag you get at a store shortly after i moved here. Supposed to cut back on waste but it seems like everyone just pays for the bags instead of bringing reusable ones. I guess according to the "californians against waste" if you use them 8 times they have a lower carbon footprint than the thinner bags but most people don't seem to do that, I'm pretty sure most people don't recycle them either because the recycling receptacle at the stores never has anything in it except trash people threw in by mistake. So basically it's just creating thicker bulkier trash. California has passed some pretty dumb laws but on the plus side you can still get a safe abortion and smoke weed and take your kids to a drag show (maybe even all at the same time!) so in conclusion, California is a land of contrasts.

It’s like this, imagine the dumbest person on Baywatch, then LOWER your standards, then chug like 5 bottles of airline booze and pop an ambien (but fight it off). Now you are ready to have a conversation with a Californian.

And I actually don’t know if that would work because I haven’t had an intelligent conversation with anybody here in the the 18 years I’ve been here.
