Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

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? (procial.tchncs.de)

@chat@hexbear.net

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

@Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net it's just very pedantic and condescending to assume i don't know people are reusing what i referred to as "reusable containers". that doesn't mean "reusable for forty years".
i think some of the assumptions about this come from stuff being introduced as a replacement for another material that's more sturdy. maybe my answers lie in archived marketing materials

Yeah, im the one being pedantic and condescending here. Definitely.

Hope you woke up in a better mood.
