Well, I think you have to put dire warnings on everything these
days.

No you don’t with the obvious stuff.

Obviously you haven’t encountered the packets of peanuts (and peanut
butter!) which have the warning that they 'may contain nuts' on the
side.

I expect a botanist would say that peanuts aren't nuts, and Brazil nuts
are seeds.

I suspect that you’d be correct.

I also suspect that it would make zero difference.

Why are you one of the usual suspects ?

Stupid people have done enough dumb stuff to get the government to
make lawn mowers almost unusable. If you try to back up my Troy Bilt
rider with the blades going the motor stops. That is just one of the
nagging things they have done.



Most home riding mowers have been that way for many years. The JD I
bought about 15 years ago had it with a push button to bypass that. I
bypassed that switch the next mower I bought had a position on the
start/stop key that would bypass that, and a JD I just bought had the
push button again. Bypassed that one too.

Why do they put death warnings on deoderant? Isn't that encouraging

Thinking of warnings, I've had a lawn mower with a warning sticker
saying don't put your hands and feet under the deck while it's running.
Maybe somebody thinks it'll just clean your finger and toe nails.

(The same packets had a ‘Cholesterol-free’ label on them. Cholesterol is
an animal fat...)

Sometimes I've wondered how many people buy peanuts, with the
expectation there will be no nuts.

https://allergyfyi.org/peanut-and-tree-nut-allergies/

A person could have a tree nut allergy and not a peanut allergy.

I recently read where the frequency of peanut allergies is increasing.
The article concluded that mothers don't let kids eat peanuts for fear
they might be allergic which means the kid don't have an early exposure
and become desensitized.

Other sites blame it on the glyphosates and other herbicides/pesticides
used in modern peanut farming.

It's sad to think of a generation that can be killed by a pb&j sandwich.

As are cashews with the added bonus of being packaged in a shell
containing anacardic acid. That's a form of urushiol, the magic
ingredient of poison ivy.

I assume in the early history of South America tribal members that could
shell cashews without coming down with contact dermatitis were very popular.

It is hard to find anything in the consumer marketplace
that doesn't have some kind of warning.

That’s bull**** with all of gasoline, diesel, tap
water, rivers, the ocean, roads etc etc etc.

You have never seen a US gas pump then I guess.

Guess again.

This is the typical label along with a big "No Smoking" sign.

That’s not typical.

Yes it is. You are just ignorant of things you speak of


In a lot of places there is a warning stuffed in your
water bill warning about things in the water.

But none on the taps. Kids never see the water bill.

And none in my water bill.

You live in another country. Don't talk about **** you don't know.

Roads are full of warning signs.

But none that say you might get run over or be involved in an accident.

So are rivers and ponds

They don’t all have signs saying you might drown.

Try again.

They have signs warning of swift currents, pollution and alligators.

I unplugged the reverse position switch. You can't cut my yard without
backing up. Too many dead end places.
