It’s a problem for men with penises that are long when flaccid. Their penises can touch the inside of the bowl when they’re seated unless they hold their penis up.

If we had shitty rewards, I’d give you a Lemmy Latinum.

Why would you do that to this poor man? No one deserves to be saddled with Elon.

Same. I contacted him during his recent online mental crisis. He never wrote back so I took a few minutes to check his post history to see if he was alive. Dude is toxic AF. I added him to my block list shortly thereafter.

Because he’s a billionaire. Rules for thee but not for me.

I never tell people I have a PhD. It’s rude, plus I don’t have one.

Bingo. Just go test drive a vehicle. I test drove a Cybertruck, it was awful, but it costs Tesla the most for a test drive. Maybe slap an inflammatory bumper sticker on it to help others hate Elon as much as you already do.

This has been my issue. I’ll order something from a seller and it shows up two days later, delivered by Amazon.

Detergent sheets rock! I’ve been traveling and need hypoallergenic detergent. I’ve carried 24 loads worth with practically no added weight to my suitcase and it won’t leak everywhere if it gets hit.

Fun fact for anyone who doesn’t speak Italian: his last name literally means onion.

Do you have a mailing list? Yours would be a periodic email I’d actually love to see.

I’d take the other half and the detained immigrants - for free! Then I’d hire them all immigration lawyers and split up what’s left.

I thought about buying options on TSLA when Musk become president and really regret not doing so.

I’m sorry, but that’s just word salad - it doesn’t actually make sense. Even if it did, it would still be easily accounted for with control tissue.

It’s extremely inexpensive. The generic 1.5 liter option costs about $0.60 USD.

And you have to belong to a specific group.

Don’t you know mRNA vaccines transfected parents with insect DNA?

Administrator of environmental protection agency announces agency no longer protecting environment, will now be simply referred to as the environmental agency.

Fuuuuuck, why did I look it up?

I’m a microbiologist but my grad school work, research, and coursework was very chemistry heavy. There are no “probably does somethings” of significance here: the chemistry of plastic generation is extremely well researched.

Plastic is made of polymerized hydrocarbons, linked up identical tiny units of carbon strands called monomers. Polymerization, the linkage of the monomers into a polymer, requires the use of a catalyst. This is often done with increased heat and pressure to increase the speed of polymerization. Maximum temperatures are around 350°C for certain plastics but are more commonly 140-160°C as higher temperatures can cause the material to break down. Once the desired size of linkage is created, the polymer is capped to keep it from growing further.

Polymerized hydrocarbons degrade, not further polymerize somehow, at high temperatures like 600° C. Saying there’s some mysterious, high-heat-driven polymerization is like saying burning wood, which is largely a polymer of glucose called cellulose, somehow creates more cellulose as it burns. The burning is due to the release of the energy contained in the bonds in the wood as they break down and react with oxygen.

Even if the process DID somehow create some plastic, a given mass of brain tissue would be expected to create predictable amounts of this mystery polymer, giving a background measurement that can be subtracted. Again, though, we know how this all works so it’s not really a concern.
