Your favorite clothes, cookware, and even dental floss may contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to human health. Now, a new Colorado law is aiming to make those products safer.
The new law will affect all kinds of things Coloradans buy and use every day, that are made using something called per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS.
They are commonly called “forever chemicals,” because of how durable they are, which makes them great ingredients in things like waterproof clothing and nonstick cookware.
The problem is, the more humans are exposed to PFAS, the more they can build up in the body, and can increase the risk of serious health problems, including cancer, heart disease, and infertility.
This week, advocates celebrated the passage of the new law in Broomfield.
More government overreach. Who are you to tell me I can’t pollute the water
Y’all mothafuckers clearly can’t sense sarcasm lol
Or it’s just not funny and adds nothing to the conversation. Extremely low effort garbage deserves down votes.
I can’t say I disagree with you. But low effort garbage gets ton of upvotes here, as long as it confirms the popular belief. So it’s really hard for me to believe that people downvoting “low effort garbage” is the driving factor here, and suspect that people are actually missing the sarcasm here.
Although that being said, I also get it for, as someone else mentioned, Poe’s law.
We have a very strong mix of people who don’t get sarcasm and staunch libertarians who do get sarcasm.

I don’t like reading shitty opinions, sarcasm or not.
Our planet is infested with conservatives. Sarcasm has become much more difficult to detect.
The sarcasm could be better. Low effort.

I can’t tell if this is Poe’s law or not.
Maybe he’s just a Nazi?
Oh my gosh, they really are everywhere!
It is.
I prefer Cole’s law.
