  • Because that's what tires are made out of, and they wear away as you drive (that's why you need to replace tires every so often as the treads wear away). That material doesn't just disappear, it gets ground down and dispersed into the environment as they're used.

    It's one reason why electric cars aren't a great solution for anyone but car manufacturers—the tires. They'll cut down on fossil fuel use and fuel emissions, yes, but that's not the only way cars pollute.

    EDIT: Also, thank you for asking! Always happy to explain :)

  • Current advice is actually to not rinse after brushing, as you're meant to let the fluoride of the toothpaste sit against your teeth for thirty minutes.

    Unfortunately, I would recommend not losing sleep over either source of microplastics (chewing gum or toothbrushes), until tires and synthetic clothing are done away with by society. Those are much MUCH bigger, inescapable sources of microplastics

  • Honestly, say something useful or keep it to yourself, OK? These lil 'gotcha' comments do nothing but take up space and make you feel a misplaced sense of having done something (when you've in fact, done nothing).

    Stuff like this comment, the mango Mussolini comments, the evil Cheeto comments, it all just fucking does nothing while still making people feel like they're being transgressive. You're not. It diverts energy from doing/talking about stuff that affects real change.

  • Damn, that's seriously crazy; I'm sorry you were put through that. That is no way too treat a child. I wish someone were there to stick up for you when you needed it.

    Quick question, if you don't mind, how old are you now?

    Also, she said they don't mind sharing, so they know about it. Most teen relationships end messily, true, but I wouldn't say it'll necessarily be a 'shit show.'

    If these kids are honest and open enough with themselves to know they'd be chill with a poly dynamic, then my money's on them being able to navigate their emotions well enough to not have a shit-show-level meltdown about everything.

    Parent should keep their eye on it, but ultimately trust the kids to figure out what they want.

  • I have been known to hunt all over town for a store that sells this size, back before just ordering something online was so ubiquitous. This is the best size; my letters turn into blobs with anything larger

  • The amount of free time you'd have to have, as well, to even consider baking the powder for an hour per round to make it usable... After a certain point my time is valuable to me and I'd rather just pay a dollar or two extra to not have to worry about all this mess.

  • Please don't do this. It seems like a hack, but will mess up your machine bc of how corrosive the vinegar is. Learned this the hard way.

    If your clothes really need it, just soak them in a bath of diluted vinegar for a while, then rinse and wash.

  • Aphid squirt. They're making the aphids squirt in their mouths, eating it, and throwing it up in each other's mouths. It's like if a whole society thought two girls one cup was just what you do.
