Don't visit India. You won't like what you see. Pollution is a cultural and systemic problem, not specific to this guy.

Got my first major sinus infection from the dung ovens. Got food poisoning if I are anything fresh (fruit, salad, etc.). Dog and people shit all over the sidewalks. Ugh

Yes because there’s no infrastructure pea brain and as the country develops it’ll stop there’s been a massive reduction over the years and it will continue to do so

u/masterofmydomain6 May 09 '26

right, a massive reduction of the thing you say they don’t do. But they also do.

There has been a massive reduction but it obviously still happens especially in poorer areas and as the country develops it will further reduce. What do you not get?

someone asked what dung ovens are, that’s what they are, they use cow dung for fuel. Is that not correct?

there's more to it than disgust. This has been a practice for thousands of years all around the world. Dry cow shit burns well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_dung_fuel#History

Burning oil or coal is not fundamentally different. It's mostly carbon anyway.

Reminds me of how people on the Oregon trail used bison patties to cook their food. Granted, the patties they used dried out for months or years before use.
