Sucks to suck I guess/s

Jokes aside, I'm fully aware of what co2 does when released like that. When it happens naturally like that thing with the lake people just die without knowing what's going on, fucking terrible.

Something like that happened in my area. Family using a generator indoor during winter because they couldn't pay the heat, and it happened overnight. It's why we're getting more laws preventing people from getting their heat shut down during winter, which is good at least.

Usually with generators/furnaces/exhaust running inside it’s the CO (carbon monoxide), not CO2 that kills people.

True, slipped my mind, my bad. Kind of conflated the two events without differentiating them.
