phant@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better?17·27 days agoThis is less to do with single-use plastics, but plastic is often a really good option from a functional POV. It doesn’t conduct heat like metal, it doesn’t break like glass/ceramics and has better moisture resistance than timber. (Not saying plastic couldn’t be replaced a lot of the time, but some times it’s a frustratingly good option).
In terms of complete single-use plastic replacement, I’m not sure, but would also be interested. I’d hope it’s mostly possible.

I’ve got so many large format coffee table books on the topic of minimalism. I find them inspiring and they fill out the space on my bookshelves.
Moths beat themselves to death against the lights, adding their breeze to the summer nights. Some mothy gothy lyricism from Isaac Brock.

At one point I sketched out some plans for a cargo tall bike with fabric side panels that could be pegged out to make a tent.
Tee Nuts are annoying coz there are also T Nuts, which are used in aluminium extrusion channels. And there’s also Tea Nuts which are nuts you put in tea if you are low on iron.
I skimmed it and didnt find much “more to the story than meets eye” about it.
It’s by a Chinese branch of Honda and limited to the Asian market for now. And its performance won’t rip your pants off - which makes sense given the market.
