EVERYTHING CAN BE DONE WITH FUCKING PAPER AND GLASS AND CERAMIC AND METAL ILL FUCKING KILL YOU
First aid ampules of pain killers, IV bags, disposable syringes. Stuff expected to be used once and outside of a medical facility or during large scale casualty events.
But all of that might be doable with the corn based plastic and then disposed of through incineration.
used to use glass for ivs syringes and shit
idk if they were meant to be disposable tho
In hospital settings they're great so long as the hospital has the support systems in place to clean/sanitize/store/dispose of them.
But after being roughed up by police, those things tend to break if their glass. Dollars to donuts that any street medics that have an aid bag with the standard red cross emblem might find that it gets hit by billy clubs or boots.
i was thinking of combat medicine in ww2, but ur right it requires institutional and logistical support not all medical jobs have
My father sent me this oil propaganda video that was titled something like "a world without plastic..."
And it was a slickly produced misinformation campaign that showed like, cars, clothing, dishes, furniture, etc. not existing in a world that doesn't use plastic.
Like, c'mon dude, all of these things existed before plastic was invented, it's just used now because it's so fucking cheap. These are the videos boomers share with each other and think they're deep.
Edit: here's the video. It's even worse, it's life without petroleum. The guys door disappears. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=winJj-1Q3uk
To be fair, it's just the car body. Because, of course, noones ever made a non-plastic car body.
Video edited into the comment above.
Can you imagine a world without Rubbermaid? Without Tupperware?! No, it's absurd!
You can also make some plastics from corn bioplastic based 3d printing is a good solution to consumer plastics. No need for petroleum plastics in the consumer industry or packing industry.
Hydrofluoric acid was first prepared in 1771, by Carl Wilhelm Scheele.
okay but wait... what did he put it in
sorry acid scienists, your gonna have to carry your acid around in a big lead rock now
can be made from natural rubber or other junk. also :volcel-police:
The packaging I mean, also, there are "food-based", biodegradable plastics.
corn based condom :corn-man-khrush:

package u do waxpaper
That stupid plastic container. I asked you to buy.
You see, hydrofluoric acid. won't eat through plastic.
It will, however, dissolve metal, rock, glass, ceramic.
Seeing someone but a BPA plastic container in the microwave....
:yikes-1::yikes-2::yikes-2::yikes-3:
Sorry for this but its either plastic disposable straws or we gotta just drink from the rim.
Yeah drinking out of a cup just the normal way is perfectly fine, except in a car, which we will also be getting rid of
My adult sippy cup (coffee mug) is effectively drinking from the rim and it still works in the car.
what is the actual answer to what were gonna do with all that plastic we already made. does anyone have anything
being more careful where we put it & i guess if those plastic-eating bacteria work out
according to my cursory investigation, glasses, woods and concrete are possible alternatives
Yes and no. For large scale hydroponics, done outdoors or in greenhouses, concrete is ok. But for smaller scale hydroponics set ups, like at home, or something that uses continuous flow or ebb and flow watering, creating a functional, watertight, easily washable, moveable hydroponics set up is really hard without plastic. If there is a good solution I am all for it. This is actually one of the things that is preventing me from setting up a system is I am trying to limit plastic use.
leftovers you then wash and reuse the plastic container. It is convenient
Well they do have plastic lids so I guess yeah plastic is still involved.
WHAT THE FUCK WHY
WHY IS PETROL ON FUCKING EVERYTHING CANS FUCKING WORK WITHOUT THEM
AND ITS BPA? :joker-gaming:
you have ruined my day, sir
Coke is literally used to clean up bloodstains, that shit will annihilate aluminium
Legitimately asking because I don't think I've ever seen it done which makes me wonder if there's some physical reason for it
I'd love to drink Pepsi out of a juice box
