Boiled linseed oil is not food safe because it isn't actually boiled. The chemicals you're talking about are added to achieve the same change that boiling normally achieves, but it is a cheaper process so corporations lobbied for the right to called chemically treated linseed oil "boiled", even though it's objectively false.

It's a great example of a corporate conspiracy.

I don't have AC and I manage the temperature in my house just fine with windows alone. My point stands.

That's a backstory I never knew I wanted.

It's never warm enough when it's raining to warrant having the window open though. Maybe if you're in Arizona or the south of Spain.

Both the bread and the circuses used to be free.

Now people pay out the nose for all of it, and think it's a great time.

Birds are not reptiles. They are different taxonomic classes and have significant differences in physiology and genetics.

Birds are warm blooded, reptiles are cold blooded.
Birds have feathers and skin, reptiles have scales. Birds have two wings and two legs, reptiles have four legs.

Those are a few of the obvious differences.
