Nice

it’s a gated community and iirc some mods/admins there had uploads with viruses / shady data collection and it was never addressed. Merely deleted after some time, without saying anything.

To be fair that’s the state of many people rn. The rest goes for food and other expenses, and savings

2-3 hours a day

Then I would worry about OP’s health

Else, then you discovered an IRL exploit to get rich

(I know this was not meant seriously)

I know

But it can be cleaned, right?

I’m obviously talking about things other than water. You should obviously drink and use the water from your house

Glass, stainless steel I guess.

Use a water bottle in stainless steel: safe to drink from and to wash, not really heavy, and keeps the temperature. Stainless steel is for reusable containers, but I’m not sure you can recycle it easily and efficiently. It’s also a bit expensive.

Glass is infinitely recyclable but it needs a lot of energy to be produced and recycled (you need to heat it a lot), is fragile, relatively expensive, and a lot is needed to make a good container, so it gets heavy, which might outweigh the positives sides it has.

Short distribution channels would be the best

Else, fruits and food that don’t really need packaging because they have a natural bacteria barrier, or something similar

But yea I don’t see any good sanitary alternative. Since we’re bound to get microplastics I guess reusable containers that are only washed and reused a couple of times would be beneficial, at the cost of a little more microplastics.

Some kind of paper to a certain extend for some things, but yea, nothing is as good as plastic :(

Don’t use plastic where you don’t need to. And then maybe use cardboard+thin plastic for the rest: less recyclable, but less plastic 🤔. Depends on the route you want to choose: less pollution or less plastic waste

I’m just saying that doesn’t really sound efficient, I’m not trying to be a dick

You can do that if you want to eat a lot of microplastics

I read it as “ban glass and cardboard as well”

There is no such thing as an indefinitely recyclable plastic. The best kind can only be recycled a few times.

I believe it uses a lot of water and isn’t really safe for food consumption, and for preserving food

I read it as “ban glass and cardboard as well”

Unfortunately they also pollute quite a bit, and cardboard isn’t really safe for consumption. How do you store meat for example? Metal cans are expensive, and glass is expensive, fragile and heavy, making it a worse option, as weight has strong impacts.

and use what instead?

Or you could have worked for a couple of days but yea, that’s nice I guess

My first experience with it was that dark theme was bugged and the interface wasn’t intuitive

Nice :)

And I have to change my OS settings because modifying the theme in libreoffice’s settings doesn’t work (Linux) 😵
