Indeed, they make BOTH. If you haven't tried their root beer, you need to. I can't drink any other sarsaparilla/sassafras beverage now.

That's almost fair. The difference is: a banana is a living organism, and very few synthetic materials are supposed to have 80 differently-identifiable chemicals in them. This melange of death here is shit like dioxins, plasticizers, decomposition products, dyes and other additives, as well as the reaction products of all of THAT shit mixing at high temp in the melted plastic. If you aren't afraid, then I don't know how to help you, child.

Brushing this off with some trite banana comparison is just making a Robert Kehoe out of yourself.

Thanks! Edited to account for "and other additives"

Yeah, I'm gonna have to engage. I just have to know:

  1. Do you know what "gender-critical" means in this context?
  2. What Christian views do you believe are being targeted?
  3. What do you mean by "communist"?

Sucrose and cellulose are different-length chains of sugars, but that doesn't mean they're the same. Also, all of the additives in the many different types of melted-together plastic would beg to differ with your assessment.

As a chemist, but without organics specialization (my specialty is rocks), I think that what we're seeing here is a collection of three main things, aside from polyethylene:

  1. decomposition byproducts: plastics break down under heat, stress and in light. It's not surprising that some of their breakdown byproducts might be found in plastic that has been melted into a new shape.
  2. dyes: plastic is dyed with different additives, and there are a LOT of different colors of plastic being recycled. They usually try to keep the colors generally consistent among batches for recycling, but the dyes that make a sprite bottle green are different from the ones that make a dasani bottle teal.
  3. Plasticizers and other additives: the things the corporations add to their plastics just to eke out that 1 cent of savings from thinner, more durable plastic, or to get the texture just right, are insane. These are things like BPA. There are loads of them, and every plastic has different types. Some of them also have different heat tolerances, but it's not like the recyclers are keeping track.

So, yeah, be afraid. There's a metric fuckton of shit in there, and literally no one knows what it all is, let alone how much of it made it through the manufacturing, use, recycling and manufacturing process without becoming prone to leaching. Virtually all plastic recycling is a scam perpetrated by the corporations to get us to blithely ignore how they are destroying the planet to save money, all while convincing us to blame ourselves.

I think people would be better able to see your point if you actually took the time to lay it out, rather than just screaming "racism" into the abyss fifty times.

With which parts of this post in particular do you take exception?

From my perspective, it seems to me that you are conflating hatred of the objectively cruel and callous British imperialist government (and the rich landlords who were rewarded by it) and the policies thereof (which, along with similar policies from other countries toward those they deemed lesser than themselves, led to most of the modern geopolitical problems of this godforsaken world) with hatred of people of Anglo-saxon descent.

Frankly, I can't tell if you're trying to make a genuine complaint poorly, just screaming out in bad faith, or if you are truly so incapable of divesting your identity from the governance of England from hundreds of years ago that you're defending imperialist spoils systems.

I personally am leaning towards the second interpretation, because the one thing you've repeated in every one of these comments is that, if anti-british "racism" is allowed, then ALL types of racism must be allowed. It sounds like you're really itching to say something really racist, but need to hype yourself up with an excuse to do so.

Top quality reference.

Also, your easy access to Bundaberg root beer :(

SHH!! Yes you can, Elon! recursively training your model on itself definitely has NO DOWNSIDES

Yes! We should all wholeheartedly support this GREAT INNOVATION! There is NOTHING THAT COULD GO WRONG, so this will be an excellent step to PERMANENTLY PERFECT this WONDERFUL AI.
