no offense to older people in chat, but why do so many older USonians try to overuse appliances or reusable containers with worn out plastic in contact with food?
is this a worldwide issue? my hypothesis was they got introduced to them as wonder materials of the future. even plastic sponges get reused when they clearly have molecule-deep filth in every crevasse
chemical companies have known about the health risks associated with plastics for decades, they’re constantly throwing up their arms saying ‘we didn’t know, we’ll remove the newly highly publicized chemical!!’, and we’re all expected to move on like the problem is gone. but anyway, the rich will kill us before the chemicals do. or not.
I was reading about forever chemicals recently, and those fluffy plastic sponges are made of very similar shit to carcinogenic fire suppression foams, anything that is ‘water resistant’, ‘non stick’, fuck i’m just so tired, I grew up drinking out of hoses, and plastic cups that stink of death, I think i’m just fucked, i’ve mostly given up.
I’m determined to stop smoking again though, so thats something.
@EllenKelly@hexbear.net quitting smoking was rly hard for me i just switched to vaping then tapered it with a spreadsheet and juices 😁 also caffeine will give you cravings bc of enzymatic activity, it’s why the drugs synergize so b careful bout that
