That’s really incredible stuff, especially given how not-fun that part of the game was 😅
It probably is still legal, but it’s not something I’ve looked for in like a decade. We do have products that use ground kernels, but those aren’t good to use on skin–the milling process doesn’t produce uniform particles and the pointy bits tend to compromise the barrier skin provides with very small tears.
I completely agree that plastic isn’t necessary for good soap, I just like it. I would definitely buy soap made with ecologically responsible plantstic at least once.
More importantly, using safer, scalable, completely biodegradable, algae-based polymers opens up so many more options for single-use products while simultaneously improving environmental quality. Farming algae and seaweeds removes a lot of contaminants from the ocean, like agricultural fertilizer and solid waste runoff. If we can truly scale up ocean farming responsibly, it’ll be its own “teal cascade” in which the benefits multiply with each step in the process.
Farming algae/seaweed doesn’t require the use of inorganic fertilizers when you grow them alongside shellfish like oysters, clams, and scallops
Increased protein production through shellfish reduces reliance on agricultural livestock for meat (which is incredibly damaging to the environment)
Algae/seaweed can replace fossil carbon in fertilizers and plastics, and reduces cattle methane emissions by 20% or more when added to their regular feed
At each step, we can take more and more petroleum out of the equation just by using methods that are better than sustainable, they actually remediate existing harm.
Plus, I get my scrubby soap back.
I cannot possibly be the only person who misses the soap with the plastic bits in it. If they could do that without the environmental damage (I’m looking at you, Great Lakes ecosystem), I’d be into it
Part of me agrees with you; part of me is yelling, “Yeah? Many? Name five!” (Admittedly, that’s the American part and it’s kind of an asshole.)
I feel like IT could yell at OP for a little bit, but would ultimately have to stare the fact that they allowed non-privileged users to just change the operating system square in the face. Like holy hell, 500 employees and anybody can just be like, “Hey, maybe I’ll make a major OS change today because why not?” What else are they letting happen?!
Yeah. Cats are really, really good at making it clear they understand when you’re calling for them and they’re choosing not to respond. I figure it’s fair; there are plenty of people I wouldn’t cross a room to talk to, either

Yeah! Libraries here in the US can be really great, too. There’s an interlibrary loan program that allows people to request materials from any other library, and the information they carry isn’t limited to books, reference information, and magazines–they do movies, music, and video games, too, and some of them around me have 3d printers available for people to use. I used to live in a rural state, and I still had access to a global network of libraries out there. It was wild!
Libraries are entirely about the free sharing of information, and supporting everybody’s ability to access it. 👍🏼👍🏼
My god, did that smell good
Right? I joined by accident because I misread the community name as “c/privacy.” 😂 Instead of leaving, I’ve gotten a lot of great information and opinions I didn’t know I wanted on privacy, security, and open source projects for people who just want to lock their shit down without needing to. It’s just a great information resource all around and I super appreciate everyone’s input.
