What you mean things like absestos, chlorofluorocarbons, or unleaded gasoline, for example? Those are very modern and "really, really dumb".
- dghughes 3y ago>chlorofluorocarbons, or unleaded gasoline I think you meant leaded gasoline? Both were inventions of one man Thomas Midgley, Jr. He contracted polio and made a harness to assist himself to get out of bed and ended up accidentally strangling himself. What a guy.
- YeGoblynQueenne 3y agoYes indeed: _leaded_ gasoline. Thanks for the correction.
