But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.

"Honey, I accidently digested our SD card again"

True enough. Though I wonder, as a thought experiment, what would be the actual better option in the long run. Some type of resin maybe?

Uranium

that's...

I somehow doubt that.

Uranium baseball cups. Not physically possible to throw a baseball hard enough to damage the goods, plus it helps combat the effects of overpopulation.

I guess using renewables for the energy needs of metal production would work too

Good thing heavy metal toxicity isn't a problem.

Steel or stainless ain't gonna give you metal poisoning

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stainless steel leaches nickel and chromium.

Better toss all your cookware then

I'll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it's made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn't matter what it is made out of, it's going to pollute.

What a downvote Nancy.
