This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Commercial jet fuel does not contain lead, though, thank god.

Lead fuel is still used in many piston engine aircraft, so try not to live near a small private plane airport.

Good to know! I thought it was all types of jet fuel.

It's not just the lead you'd have to worry about. Commercial jets spew all kinds of nasty shit, and there's also the significant amount of particulates in the air from the tires. It's just not safe nor healthy to live that close to an airport, lead or no lead.

Also, I would absolutely not eat the produce from those farms, which according to TFA, they're still producing and selling locally.

Plus living so close to the planes makes your frogs extra gay
