You can have that today. You can still forage for food. It is even easier today.

PTFEs aren't killing us and everything else either.

Smartphones require PTFEs

But steel is recyclable.

Remember your high school chemistry class? What do you think they are going to use instead of fluorine? The thing that makes these compounds useful is exactly the thing that makes them "forever."

How much less cancer do you prefer from these vs internal combustion cars?

But that means I have to read them all. One of the things that drew me to the other platforms was the fact that the smartest or whittiest answers came to the top.

I really think we need a tax on unutilized assets. Start with commercial real estate then residential real estate and go all the way down to the useful things in your storage unit.

Didn't take your boat out this season? That's a paddlin'.

I know there is, or was. A meth head I knew used old cell phones to watch to outside of his house. I saw the app and it worked really well. The phones were all on the same wifi and had no cell service.

Don't the comments sort in order of popularity?

I think a bigger issue is the acceptance of logical falicies leading to arguments that are nothing more than insult wars.

I can think of several instances but one that comes to the top was a long well reasoned argument for FM on phones. The writer put a great deal of effort into it then ended it with "do you know how stupid you sound [for taking the other position]." I made the mistake of pointing this out and was met with downvotes and told it was a very reddit thing to say.

I would love to see a platform where fallacious arguments were excluded until resubmitted or at least flagged. They do not encourage reasoned discourse.

I think you overestimate the toxicity of PTFEs. You know they are used in implants?
