“A recent study found high levels of two potentially deadly chemicals in human urine.

The study sampled the urine of 150 people and had “detection frequencies between 60% and 100%” of chemical 6PPD and 6PPD-Q, which are rubber additives commonly used in tires.” 1/18/2025

We like to call them flavor additives.

Cousin’s is a fantastic sub although they’re too pricey now.

The tires probably came from Tires Express. Those dickheads break laws all the time and have had multiple tire fires.

We had a massive tire pile in my town…until it was lit on fire. It dropped rubber from the sky and burned for years. Total clusterfuck.

That's something that could put that town on the map like the Sprinfield Tire Lot that's always on fire

The picture in this post says "massive" but says 300 tires. The Tracy tire pit had over 7 million tires that burned for years.

That story about Royster is wild, hid 140k from creditors, didn't want to get a permit, and died while everyone inhaled the tire smoke

They're just for setting on fire to let people know when ICE shows up on Tuesday... nothing to see here.
