@@Unholy_Mango un checked? 99 percent of regulations are things like he minimum wage, or taxes, or just bs that says things have to be a certain size, it does nothing but raise the operating costs and the barrier to entry for new competition. Companies won't go un checked, supply and demand exist and so do market forces, consumers are thinking people and should become thinking people, if we remove regulations it'll do nothing but lower the price of anything and put more responsibility on the consumer to choose responsibly. A pursuit of profits isn't malicious, its better then any other pursuit, and if we can remove all of the regulations in the way of people making their own free choices it would mean that the only thing that gets you profit is voluntary trading with people, so that you both end up with what you value more at the end, which is usually money in the case of the business, and it can be exchanged for almost anything.

​@Deborah Ajao I'm a historian, and I like to preserve my family tree. Out of 1000+ people from 1900-1930, the death that most closely resembles what they would put in one of these videos was from a child who stepped on a nail and got tetanus, before getting the tetanus shot and dying because of how much they gave him. In google books, I searched up "Electrocuted" from 1901 to 1911 and got 37 pages of results. With each page having 10 results, that calculates to 370~ cases. Now, I'm not even taking into consideration that some might be the same case twice, or some might just be irrelevant, so take 37 cases a year by a grain of salt, cause it might even be less than that. Also, almost every video likes to over exaggerate things since it gives shock factor, which increases watch time.

Though not as bad as those before them- women's crinolines used to catch on fire if they walked too close to an open flame,which was all too frequent in Victorian times, and corsets with hoop skirts trapped women in their burning clothes and even just suffocated them when a strong gust forced the skirt to invert like a ruined umbrella, or even attacked them when they tried to walk over stiles or sometimes down steep stairs

jan rees you’re right about the skirts catching on fire, though that was really only a problem for working-class women as they would be the ones working close to fires. And they were a general fire hazard, but it wasn’t very common to get ‘trapped’ in your burning clothes, at least not any more that it is today. The rest of what you’ve said, however, is false. The crinoline could not invert like an umbrella and suffocate anyone because it was made out of progressively larger lightweight steel hoops that were only attached to each other by fabric. Crinolines were actually very flexible and they were fully collapsible.

The asbestos "lining" of the early water heaters was used as insulation, it would not normally see contact with water unless the inner jacket cracked or rusted through. That they were fueled by gasoline, kerosene or gas using an open flame, in the kitchen was usually a larger hazard. There are still many cities using lead or leaded steel water supply lines. They depend on the lead oxide that forms on the inside of the pipe to keep people from being poisoned. This is a great deal of the issues found in the City of Flint's water system. A change in the Ph of the water supplied to the system removed the oxide, allowing free lead into the water.

So horrific I wouldn’t even wish them on their bosses (who elevated CYA into the exosphere). The first time I read Kate Moore’s book, I think I erupted in gut-clutching sobs at least 4 times. I remember decades ago hearing about “radiation poisoning” and thinking “leukemia”…. after learning of THIS story it seems like the deaths from cancer were the most merciful. Well maybe not the one with a two-football sized tumor in her vag… and that huge sarcoma showed in that one photo here… but even those seemed an easier compared to some 😭. I’ve seen/heard more podcasts, KZread videos, etc than I can count… truly nothing prepared me for the horror I would feel while reading the book. I think of how agonizing a single tooth abscess or even a sinus infection is…. I was a trauma nurse for years and have seen horrible things that can happen to faces…. I can’t begin to get my head around what some of THESE girls (yes, girls… many were teenagers) endured.

@@donalddrysdale246 Well, you're talking about different types of radiation that have different effects on the cells in our bodies. Radiation from decay consists of alpha, beta, and gamma rays. The alpha and beta rays are actually heavier particles that can easily destroy tissue, which is why they are handy in destroying cancerous tissue. Gamma rays are composed of photons, so they are electromagnetic radiation, like 5g and microwaves. Now, EM radiation can definitely be harmful to the body, as it is with gamma rays, but that mostly depends on the wavelength, because with photons, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy. Our cells can tolerate most low energy, longer wavelength EM radiation, like visible light, or radio waves, except for infrared, because in the infrared range, photons have just the right amount of energy to be easily absorbed by other particles to drive them up to higher energy levels (heating them up). As you get to the shorter, high energy wavelengths past visible light, then you get to the really dangerous stuff, like ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays, etc. Still, even the less harmful wavelengths of EM radiation can do damage if you can concentrate the radiation intensely enough, for example, with a visible light laser, or a microwave oven. Conversely, we can tolerate the higher energy radiation better if it is less concentrated. So the UV radiation from the sun is more tolerable in the morning or evening than midday, because it is being scattered more by passing through a greater distance of atmosphere before it reaches us. Basically, with the cell phone and microwave radiation, it is pervasive, but it is both lower energy and unconcentrated, since it is being emitted from all different directions and the larger emitters are probably at a greater distance from you. Might still be an issue if you have a giant cell tower outside your living room window, though, time will tell I guess.

In the 1970’s, there was a Marvel Comics villain called Asbestos Lady. She was one of the archenemies of The Human Torch, who she fought off with a gun that shot asbestos bullets, and protected herself from his flames with an asbestos-lined uniform. No surprise, she later died from mesothelioma.

No, the hair was NOT "covered with asbestos" during early permanent waving! The hair was wound onto rods, and each rod was wrapped with a foil-backed fabric pad soaked in perming solution, then clamped with a heating clip, connected to a "chandelier" of electric wires. The danger was that, if the solution in the pad dried up too quickly, the hair could start to smoulder. To cool it, the hairdresser would pour water onto it, which would, of course, often give the client a bit of an electric shock.

When my dad was a young man, he had many jobs in the small Kansas town he lived in. He told me the story about repairing an elderly women's electrical ceiling socket in her dinning room. The socket was above her prized dinning table and she demanded dad place a bowel under the socket so that the "juice" that came from the outlet would not damage her table. Funny to my dad, but a real concern to the old women.

In Camberley the local Electricity Company persuaded the owners of houses in my parents street to convert from gas lighting to electric lighting, by offering "free" installation in exchange for a weekly payment, When we moved into our house in 1957, the previous owner's had paid for their own installation, but some house owners were still paying this charge on their electricity bills. The gas lighting points were still visible in the rooms, where the pipe work had been plugged off. Also street lighting was gas powered and the local council employed gas lighters to turn on the street lights. In fact the street light was placed on the road and not moved on to the footpath until all electric street lights were installed. The electric cables were two core with a lead sheath with the sheath acting as the earth wire and gas pipes were made of a lead composite. My parent's had the house rewired with three core plastic sheath wiring.

I think that kind of temperature would certainly burn off hair if you use materials like sterling silver. However, we use ceramic or variety of titanium materials in curling/straightening irons. Those hold and distribute heat evenly, which makes it quite hard to burn off hair in chunks like it did with Edwardian silver curling irons. On top of that, we have different kinds of coatings and insulation within a hair iron that causes little to no hair breakage. Today's hair irons are far less damaging and much safer than the ones they used back then even at their highest temperature settings

The asbestos thing is real. In the 50's through the early 80's, my father worked in the Navy and then later in shipyards. Among his duties was installation of asbestos insulation into the ships he helped build. He would come home covered in the stuff so Mom would wash his coveralls in the family washing machines. He died of mesothelioma in 2004. It took Mom longer to die from asbestosis from having washed his work clothes. I'm sure us kids inhaled or ingested some of the fibers as well although none of us show signs of it yet. We're all in our late 50's and early 60's at this point. Of all five of us, only I would really have any true symptoms but that's because I worked in the industrial hygiene and asbestos abatement field for a year just out of college as a newly minted scientist. To this day, over thirty years later and even with having used the latest in modern respirators and protective clothing, I still have to get regular chest x-rays to monitor my health from my one year's worth of exposure. Oh yeah, don't think of fiberglass as the latest wonder either. It's even worse when it gets into your lungs because it has sharp cutting edges that don't just lodge in your lung tissue like asbestos does; they saw their way through your lungs. With every breath, that glass moves and cuts through your alveoli (little air sacs in the lungs that facilitate the transfer of oxygen from the air to your bloodstream), reducing how effective the blood/oxygen transfer works.

There is a lesson in asbestos, no matter how good it is, there is a catch, especially if it is a "miracle".

DarkSideGryphon It is still massively here in America. Millions upon millions of buildings and homes still have “popcorn ceilings,” which are made with asbestos, including my apartment and my cousins’ home. My parents had the ceiling removed off of our family home sometime in the 90s or early 2000s. The world trade center was also chosen to be the mark of destruction because it proved to be much too costly to remove all the asbestos.

It would be cool to see a video with a comparison of electrical sockets in the UK vs. USA. The UK sockets are much better designed for safety - each one has a switch, and they’re recessed so a loose plug doesn’t become a shock hazard. There’s also a fuse inside each plug. It goes beyond that - in bathrooms light switches are all suspended and non-conductive from the ceiling. I’d be curious to see statistics on accidental home electrocutions in the USA vs. UK.

To be fair, arsenic soap will definitely kill a pimple.

No thanks. I used to just deal with them, and let them disappear on their own. Fortunately, I never got many of them. Peroxide worked on them too, once they were opened. (Jan Griffiths).

Nanograms (an extremely tiny amount for the innumerate) of arsenic are actually essential to human fertility. It doesn't take much to kill you, but you don't want to eliminate it entirely.

The historian Madeleine at 40:06 has a really awesome and quirky style!

Anyone else feel like the asbestos segment cuts too close to the bone of their own experience? In the apartment building where I live they're doing asbestos clean-up at ground level right now, and it was only built in 1958.
