Surely you mean avoiding dangerous electric stoves, which emit hazardous electromagnetic radiation?
Edit: Yup, everyone bit. Christ you're a bunch of dafties.
- fastball 4y agoIs non-ionizing radiation hazardous?
- sampo 4y ago> Is non-ionizing radiation hazardous? At LTE and WiFi frequency bands, it can be used to spread a great deal of misinformation.
- trashtester 4y agoit depends on the dose. Visible light from a nuke will kill you more quckly than the gamma rays if youre close enough.
- Gordonjcp 4y agoPut your hand on the cooker ring and tell me.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoYou understand that if things touch each other the heat transfer isn't from radiation right?

- Gordonjcp 4y agoYou understand you've been utterly whooshed, right?
- CyberDildonics 4y agoTo be clear your joke is: 1. You don't understand something 2. Someone tells you that you don't understand 3. Got you good, can't believe you fell for my ignorance
- Gordonjcp 4y agoIt's like a party trick with you, isn't it? Can you point out what you think I don't understand?
- CyberDildonics 4y agoIt's like a party trick with you, isn't it? I don't know what this is supposed to mean. Can you point out what you think I don't understand? Electric stoves don't give off harmful radiation.
- Gordonjcp 4y ago> Electric stoves don't give off harmful radiation. Yes, that's the joke. You got whooshed. Don't worry, it happens.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoI guess this is the part where you reveal you were "just pretending"
- kadoban 4y ago> Surely you mean avoiding dangerous electric stoves, which emit hazardous electromagnetic radiation? The "electromagnetic radiation" from stoves has not been shown to be harmful in the amounts absorbed during cooking. Particles in the air _have_ been shown to be harmful, even ignoring CO and gas leak risks from gas stoves.
- Gordonjcp 4y ago> even ignoring CO and gas leak risks from gas stoves Right, but they don't generate CO and they don't leak. If they do, they are faulty and should be repaired or replaced. Don't you have safety inspections where you are?
- delecti 4y agoBased on this [1] source, which is clearly biased against electric stoves, an electric heater (lets include a stove in that) "can generate over 100 milliGauss (mG)". The SI equivalent unit is the Tesla, with 1 Tesla being equal to 10,000 Gauss. So that 100 mG from the stove is equal to 10 microTesla. A fridge magnet is about 1 miliTesla [2], so just holding a fridge magnet is 100 times as much "harmful" radiation. It's absurd to think electric stoves are a concern.
