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

    @Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net it’s just very pedantic and condescending to assume i don’t know people are reusing what i referred to as “reusable containers”. that doesn’t mean “reusable for forty years”.
    i think some of the assumptions about this come from stuff being introduced as a replacement for another material that’s more sturdy. maybe my answers lie in archived marketing materials
