Fun fact! The Laser in the burner didn’t actually burn from thermal effects, and instead caused a chemical reaction using specific wavelengths of light to activate a substrate called pthalocyanine.
This is part of why you could burn “faster”, although typically you had a higher quality burn at slower speeds as the change from one color to another via the chemical effects was more complete. This allowed weaker reading lenses to better perceive the new colors easier, and greatly increased compatibility.

With the track record of how fucking dangerous acetaminophen / paracetamol is, and actual studies screaming that it could well be one of the more likely vectors…
I can only assume at this point that the various studies pointing this out but not getting more traction implies just now much money is made from selling it to consumers.
Is Big pharma (ugh… I hate how ruined that phrase has become) paying off or blackmailing Capt Sewer Swimmer?
