Comment on We poisoned the whole planet so our eggs wouldn't stick to the pan 🙃

I’ve not watched the video, but the wording/tone/language of the title stinks of sensationalism and pseudo-science.
If I were to click it, which I won’t, I imagine it’d be clickbait and/or nothing to do with eggs or pans.

It’s a veritasium video, titled how one company poisoned the world.
Still click bait but it’s youtube and they have the mighty algorithm to answer too.
Good video well produced and worth the watch

I mean, it’s clickbaty, sure. But also, it’s not wrong

I don’t know what the videos about but here’s my opinion on what it’s about
Ffs, are you trolling?

I’ve not clicked and I know it’s almost certainly talking about Teflon
So very much to do with pans, and likely anything cooked in those pans (e.g. eggs)

Teflon is not a type of PFAS and is actually safe
9point6@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Sorry yes, you’re correct, it’s a PTFE. Which is touted as a safe alternative until you find out burning it (about 250 degrees) produces PFAS.
Now if someone perfectly uses the pan and never leaves it on high heat without anything in it, they’re probably gonna be fine. But I’ve lived in the same house as an idiot who has done exactly that, so I’m inclined to think that it’s not an entirely uncommon thing.
Then you’ve also got the post-use phase of the pan’s life where it could easily end up in a waste incinerator, and we already know we have a problem with PFAS hanging around in the environment.

“This one trick pans don’t want you to know”

You really shouldn’t comment on the content of a video that you purposely have not watched. It comes across as smug and ignorant. Veritasium videos are well researched, and he does his best to not sensationalize. To suggest that he would promote pseudo-science is absolutely laughable.
Do better.

Well, sorry. The problem is, experience with the Internet has taught me to be wary of clicking things like “we poisoned the whole planet”.
This time it was perhaps a false positive.
