Got this at an ice cream shop in Denver. It tasted great and was fun to eat.

Wouldn’t this be carcinogenic?
No, it's not the charcoal itself that is carcinogenic, the carcinogenic substances developed when cooking at high temperature and from fat. None of this occurs when making ice cream from activate charcoal.
Unless I'm missing something, not particularly. Im assuming you're asking about specifically the activated charcoal and not the rest of whatevers in it. I can't say for the rest, but no reputable study has ever found activated charcoal to be carcinogenic. There are other things that can be found in charcoal that can be, like silica and the smoke from burning it, but the charcoal is safe.
I had no idea.
Yes, but it's ice cream so folks don't care. Like smoking or drinking - as long as people are having fun they don't mind if it kills them.
I mean, oxygen is highly reactive and damaging. Eventually that kills us too.
And I look cool as fuck as I use oxygen too
Dihydrogen Monoxide is killing us all!
Deadly when inhaled!
