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
Probably grew up with depression era parents, or themselves lived through the tail end of it. Thrift and reuse were a must, but today those habits… well, some people have difficulty just throwing out the daily onslaught of junk-mail, let alone soda bottles and takeout boxes.
@Wheaties@hexbear.net that makes sense to me like hyper green people or those who inherited great depression behaviors for a reason why affluent people would
This reminds me that I accidentally solved junk mail. Our neighborhood mailbox got destroyed and hasn’t been replaced yet, it’s been a few months and every time I go to get my mail from the local dispatch center I never get handed any junk mail. I asked about that and the lady said they toss all that junk for held mail, lmao. I can’t imagine the box I would need to carry it all after a weeks buildup.
