no offense to older people in chat, but why do so many older USonians try to overuse appliances or reusable containers with worn out plastic in contact with food?

@chat@hexbear.net

is this a worldwide issue? my hypothesis was they got introduced to them as wonder materials of the future. even plastic sponges get reused when they clearly have molecule-deep filth in every crevasse

      can lids are another one people reuse too much, thanks for the reminder. also let me guess, Corning is too. not sure what the obsession is with canning jars anyways it's always people who don't can who drink out of them, it's weird with the rim too
