Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don’t know what “fossilized algae” refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom).
After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it.
He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak
Nobel found that when nitroglycerin was incorporated in an absorbent inert substance like kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth) it became safer and more convenient to handle, and this mixture he patented in 1867 as “dynamite”.
Diatomaceous earth consists of the fossilized remains of diatoms, a type of hard-shelled microalgae.
Pretty sure that if you got snow in your lungs you would get pneumonia, or perhaps frostbite in your lungs. if you get frost bite in your lungs repeatedly, just as any other repeated injury it can increase your risk of cancer in those cells that are repeatedly damaged.
In this case it’s pretty much the same risk as inhaling asbestos dust. Fun fact, in the past, beer was filtered through asbestos, which was perfectly safe because asbestos is only dangerous when inhaled. Nowadays it’s filtered through Kieselgur because its properties are pretty much identical to those of asbestos.

Ooh. Diatomaceous earth is also the best safest healthiest most humane method of fending off bed bugs.
I’m all for being humane but I would stab a bed bug with a pin and yell “die, fucker”. Same goes for mosquitos, ticks and fleas.
Isn’t diotemacious earth cancer causing if you breath it in?
Most shit will cause lung cancer if you make it into a powder and inhale enough of it.
Water. (Snow or frost)

Neat
