Lain?

I think the 80 year figure was for PLA, as PET lasts well into the 100s of years (450 is the number I’ve seen)

This article claims 80 years https://3dinsider.com/is-pla-biodegradable/ but I haven’t taken the time to do proper research about this.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the science on this is divided, especially because conditions (and the shape of the object) vary so much. It seems very plausible that a thin injection molded PLA cup could break down really fast in a sunny pond in a warm climate, but a thick 3D printed object buried in the ground somewhere with a cold clinate could take many decades.

Anyway, it sounds like it’s maybe not as bad as I thought, but it’s still not good to treat it like typical biodegradable materials. Especially when pla microplastics are still harmful despite being shorter lived.

This is a common misconception. PLA is technically compostable industrially, but it will be very slow to break down naturally if you just leave it outside. It can take about 80 years, which is a lot better than other plastics, but it’s a bit misleading that it’s called biodegradable. There are true biodegradable filaments like PHA, but they’re a lot less common.

That being said, 3D printing is actually really useful, and not a significant part of the plastic waste problem.

There are vegan meat substitutes that are more than good enough for recreating meat dishes.

I bet Beyond meat is probably a more accurate replacement than worms for your grandmother’s cooking. At least I hope so, for your family’s sake.

Interesting, although I don’t quite understand as a non Italian speaker, isn’t that just replacing ‘tu’?

Italian has gendered nouns and adjectives too, how do you deal with that? I’ve heard of people using ‘-e’ instead of ‘-o / -a’ in Spanish.

Which language is this?

the image thumbnail for me says ‘ngl trans’

I think this impossible with federation. It looks like it’s still under for me.

…by creating female/nonbinary loneliness instead

To me it feels weird if there’s just one punctuation mark like this !

But normal if there are two like this !!

Like there should be a space only for even numbers. Don’t ask me why.

The only way to make this remotely safe would be harnessing to the ceiling. Although that could still be bad if it tips over and catches your foot…

Ah yes, let me add some Microsoft spyware to my Google spyware

You’re going to die on the hill that music is objective, and the Beatles are objectively bad? Interesting…

I’m curious what bands you consider “objectively good”

Well I guess music is inherently subjective, but they have definitely written many good songs.

Because they’re good! Excellent songwriting that stands the test of time.

That song is literally nonsense meant to confuse people who overanalyze their songs. It’s not meant to be ‘deep’ haha.

You don’t have to like them, but there’s a reason why I and so many others think they’re fantastic.

Climb up the ladders

Airplane food isn’t always bad, is just so dry in the cabin that you can barely taste anything, and bread goes stale instantly.

Women are you guys

Well also I think this body type is and has always been attractive to the vast majority of people. Beauty standard are not very attainable (like you said, it’s a status thing), but they aren’t even what most people actually like.
