This is why I keep boxes from in the back of my truck and just load them up, I hope to find industrial milk crates to replace the cardboard.

Also before folks come at me I drive an 01 Toyota Tacoma which has gas mileage comparable to a particularly inefficient motorcycle. Its the best I can afford.

Last I remember, a cloth bag needs to be used for a minimum of 1000 grocery trips for it to even begin to offset the environmental cost of making it.

Now, I've had mine for 5 years. So I'm making good progress.

But I do miss the plastic ones just because I always used them as garbage bags. The tax on plastic grocery bags are nuts. They cost a buck each. Unless you buy 50 of them for garbage use... then they're all of a sudden dirt cheap and so thin it feels like breathing on them will poke a hole.

I have this folding/ collapsible crate I keep in my trunk of my car. ( yeah I know car) I love it it holds like 6 bags worth of stuff. Makes 2 trips bringing things in and out of the car into one( no need to do the Heman 10 bags in one hand thing). I always forget bring in the bags I keep in my car but I enjoy using the crate so there is that.

Also I know the crate probably uses same amount of plastic as like a million bags or something. But I have had the crate before the bag thing became an issue and use it for things like camping and day trips. Also I now buy small plastic bags to pick up my dogs shit instead of using the bags I got from the store. Also buy bags for my bathroom now. I wonder how much plastic I have saved by not using plastic bags at the store...

I think it was all a scam to get me to pay for them. Just like the plastic straw. Cool you gave me a paper straw to save the planet or what ever and even charged me for it but then you give me my drink in a FUCKING PLASTIC CUP. WTF. FUCK YOU.

There should be a second lever filter where the governement is doing the filter in the opposite way

Edit: typo

Is there even a small kernel of truth backing this up? What 'something else' is there other than laying flat?

Or like, are there any last-ditch options for some chronically-ill middle-aged homebody like me? A transhumanist cult, a real-life equivalent to a Rimworld colony, some like-minded individuals living on a boat who can make it to my local port that need a sweeper or mediocre heat-intolerant stirfry-cook who can't swim? No?

Half-ethical brain preservation testing, put me in a The Matrix? I'd roll the dice, the bar is really low at this point.

"Hey! Welcome to the world!

Everything everyone has told you about how things work and the fairness of the system is a lie. Good luck dealing with that.

Also, all the adults who you were brought up to look at as the keepers of the world are actively making it worse and/or going insane.

You have no money, no power, no experience, you're outnumbered and under-resourced, and those same screwed up adults have been actively sabotaging your mental acuity and development for more or less your entire lives.

So you'd better get to fixing it! What's wrong with you lazy bums?"

Tf does “Extiction” mean?

This is a confusing meme attempt all around.

Sorry... are you talking about piracy or privacy? They're different things, you start off referring to piracy but most of your post is about privacy 😛

Anyways I've never considered Lemmy as a "privacy" platform so it's not really how or why I ended up here. Most Lemmy instances don't even allow Tor usage, some block VPN usage too, and most require an email to sign up and register. On top of that each Lemmy instance is going to be as private as the instance admin is willing to make it.
