    Chroming is just nitrous oxide?

    That seems like a silly name.

      the canisters are chrome, makes more sense than being named after the brand of paint but yeah it will always mean huffing paint to me.

    How about don’t let your kids on a shitty social media platform to begin with. Besides it being a farm for data for the Chinese, it’s been shown via various studies the platform is like crack for your dopamine system.

      We all know how teenagers always listen to their parents and never find ways to use technology without their parents knowing.

      I sure wasn’t dialing up to BBSes at 3am after my parents grounded me from using my modem. Nosir.

        Just because it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s not worth the effort.

          I would say that most teens would find getting on one of the most popular teen spaces on the internet, which their friends are almost certainly using, worth the effort.

        I remember huffing gasoline, butane, Freon, and super glue back in the 90s. It’s a wonder I can breathe at all these days, as well as coherently string more than two words together.

    Here in Stockholm it is common to see spent 1.3kg N2O bottles just lying on the sidewalk in the morning, especially after a weekend.

    And I doubt that is much dentistry going on on a weekend night on the streets of Stockholm.

    The companies selling the N20 bottles even advertise on Youtube.

    I just had a look at the cost of a 1.3kg bottle of N2O, it is less than the equivalent of 50USD.

    And now I see that they have flavoured N2O…

    if usually short-lasting, high, but long-term use can lead to complications like brain damage

    Are they talking about Tik Tok?

      Right up until you suddenly die of a brain aneurysm because your dumbass thought it was a safe legal high. There is nothing awesome about that.

      Nitrous is the same price near me as it’s been for 15 years, but now I can get big tanks instead of small canisters!
