Fuck off, libcuck.

You're all fucking up.

>>13586199
YES BAN THE STRAWS!!!!

>>13586199
The place I work started using paper straws and I have to grab a new one every two hours when it starts to biodegrade in my glass of water. Meanwhile at home, I've been using the same plastic Chinese straw in my water glass for over a week.

and if you use it for hot tea you can even eat it after

>>13586219
paper ones leave a taste

cant be healthy ingesting paper bleach and dyes

While paper bleach isn't particularly healthy I think it won't really do much

>>13586219
Do yourself a favor and get a pack of glass straws off Amazon. Plastic straws leech.

>>13586233
I bought some metal ones and hate them. Glass sounds really nice, but I feel like I would break them when drunk in bed.

>>13586238
I'm really clumsy/hard on the things I own and have never broke one. Also, yea fuck metal straws.

>>13586249
I didn't even realize how much variety there was with glass straws, and how cheap they are. Just ordered a set (I fucking love Amazon Prime).

/ck/ - Food and Cooking

Fuck off.

>>13586300
straws, spoons, knifes, misc silverware are all part of the cooking experience.

>>13586300
How the fuck isn't straw discussion /ck/? There's only like one off topic reply, and it's still recommending a particular straw.

>>13586300
seething libcuck

>>13586210
Imagine liberals living rent free in your head to the point that you think putting "trump 2020" on a straw is "owning the libs"

>Have to drink my McDonalds shake before the straw fully decomposes
This is such a great customer experience.

>>13586199
what if i reuse a plastic straw?

drinking through a straw makes you look like a manchild or even worse, homosexual

>>13586399
It’s not just the writing on the straw. It’s how you use it: whenever I go to a restaurant that has paper straws, I pull out my Trump straw and declare, “no thanks, I brought my own!” This incites curiosity in other patrons, and I tell them where they can get their own durable, reusable and recyclable MAGA straws of their own!

>>13586464
Lmfao
>>13586399
Idk about EVERY trump straw but he himself (his team) sold trump straws in packs of 20 for his reelection fund

>>13586209
Your hyperconsumerism contributes to corporations' actions

>>13586199
Lol here in cali starbucks gives you a cup with a sippy cup top that contains 10x the plastic of a straw now... Libs should be executed on sight. "Yay we banned straws!" "what about china single handedly destroying the earth?" "fuck off trump tard!"

>>13586604
Liberals don't go to Starbucks, dum dum.

>>13586218
They started using bamboo cutlery once they had used up their remaining stock of plastic, btw.

>>13586541
Even that is their fault. If they just stopped their coercive advertising behaviors I would be naturally inclined to consume on a needs-only basis.

>>13586199
Yeah because they're so terrible that no one uses them.

>>13586218
I would pour my drink out all over that stuff in response.

>>13586199
ah yes. as an american, buying a paper straw will really offset the metric tonnes of garbage and waste that china, africa, russia, and india spew into the ocean.

>>13586827

>as an american

usa was literally shipping its own garbage to china to be processed. They stopped accepting usa garbage a couple years ago.

*cough*

>>13586930
Never got why actual trash gets thrown into those rivers.
Surely public garbage places must exist even if one is homeless

>>13586650
Youre obviously aware of the situation yet you choose to subsidize it. You have some responsibility for the knowledge you keep

>>13586280
Nice! Yea, I have tall ones for my mason jars, and short ones for when I'm drinking tea and coffee out of a mug (so I don't stain my teeth).

>>13586650
Advertising is coercive, you're just a sheep who refuses to assume responsibility for his actions. Advertising is only effective at raising awareness in consumers that a brand exists; it doesn't actually make you want things. McDonald's ads don't make you hungry, they just make you remember that you like McDonald's the next time you are hungry. This is well established stuff.

>>13586941
When you leave garbage on the ground, rain picks it up and it will generally find its way to the nearest river over time.

>>13586399
At the very least it's making me wonder why nobody has ever tried putting their logo on a straw.

>yfw gas stations owned by big oil companies shame you for "killing the planet" because you don't use paper straws.

>>13586983
reeeeeeeeeeee i cant be expected to not consume products corporations shit out! how am i supposed to live without my ipad iphone and iwatch????

>>13586199
paper straws are literally the worst invention ever. Drinking from one feels fucking disgusting

>>13587077
They're the original straws. We might not have straws at all today if they weren't invented. If you hate paper straws you hate straws and don't deserve to use them.

>>13587085
The original toothbrush was a charred stick. We might not even have toothbrushes today if the concept of brushing teeth didnt came about. If you hate poking at your gums with a piece of charcoal you hate toothbrushes and dont deserve to use them.

>>13587085
Retard.

>>13587108
That is not a brush. The first toothbrushes employed animal hair bristles.

>>13587126
I had heard it was frayed sticks and twigs at first

>>13587126
so why arent you brushing your teeth with some pig's anal hairs

>>13587085
what kind of retard logic is this? I hate leg amputation but like modern day antibiotics and trauma care. is that allowed in your retard brain?

>>13586941

In the case of China they're contracted to bury garbage exported to them, they pocket the money and dump it in their own rivers specifically because it flows to the ocean and becomes someone else's problem. China breaks every regulation placed upon it and international groups taking China's commitments seriously just to piss of the US is probably more destructive than anything the US itself is doing.

The moral of the story is hateful euros fuck everything up and cannot actually be responsible for the administration of international agreements, considering that pissing off the US is evidently more important than actually enforcing international agreements.

>>13587031

Oil companies know people are stupid and care more about one picture of an injured turtle than stuff like, I dunno, the UN turning into such a globalist organization that it no longer has any moral or legal standards for participation. Which means China can just lie about emissions forever. Yeah, USA has the most emissions, but it can't just turn off it's industries without market demand being fulfilled by another country and most likely in a dirtier, cheaper way. So that's the only reason it's even being suggested...repeatedly...by everyone China can pay off to do it including UN officials and Swedish loli androids.

Gosh fixing the environment would probably be a lot easier if the entire concept wasn't being used as a cudgel against western democracy.

Why do conservatives get so mad over the dumbest things?

>>13586209
Billionaires became billionaires by diverting blame on the poors, women and minorities

>>13586636
Why not use bamboo straws?

>>13586199

They save nada. It's the plastic bags that are ruining the environment and they are still selling plastic bags in your average store.

>>13586238
What is wrong with metal straws?

>>13586990
It's really not worth it unless you can dupe suckers into paying for it. You'll see them more regularly now that "reusable" straws are becoming a marketable product. A pack of thousand single use straws costs perhaps a couple of cents to produce and a little more than that to ship.

>>13587365
Is pepsi ok XD

>>13586209
Unironically capitalism was a mistake

>>13587576
the funny thing is you don't even know what the conservative stance on climate change is

it's not a denialist stance, its a stance that the models showing the doomsday scenario have been wrong for decades and continue to be wrong
that if the climate is changing it always has an always will no matter what humans do
and even if human activity is expediting the change its the fault of 3rd world countries like india, china, and russia more than anyone else yet for some reason only the united states is expected to take responsibility for it with economy destroying regulations and sanctions created by other countries

further, while everyone agrees finding new cleaner fuel sources is important, it's not worth destroying the livelyhood of millions as well as raising energy costs to go cold turkey on bullshit like solar and wind which has been proven to not be a suitable alliterative

further still, conservatives strongly support nuclear energy which is clean, safe, and proven to work but the left refuses to invest because the retards equate power plants with bombs I guess.
if you are anti-nuclear you are anti-environment. Simple as that

>>13586618
quick question? are you retarded?

>>13586199
I don't own a cage, I eat meat about once a week, I walk and bike everywhere, I only buy the most expensive high quality clothes made by ethical brands out of natural fibers, I have them repaired when they're torn, and I keep them until they're in tatters. So don't tell me what straws to use, hypocrite. And while you're at it, castrate yourself and kick your oil habit before pointing at poor brown people in the third world.

>>13586199

>why yes, when i want to avoid corporate greed and over roasted beans covered up with copious amount of sugar and cream, while being surrounded by my fellow maga hat wearers, i will walk an extra 4 blocks to my local, independent coffee shop, because i do enjoy fair trade and in house roasted coffee

>>13586218
Honestly, seeing shit like this would just make me carry around a pack of disposable, nonrecyclable plastic straws to use every time someone denied me a straw or gave me a shitty paper one. Thankfully this bullshit hasn't spread to my part of the country yet, but if it does I'll be ready.

I've seen straw threads everywhere,I had no idea so many people don't know how to operate a glass.

>>13587763
liberals are the only people that buy coffee at coffee shops in general

men just make it at home or stop at the gas station or something

>>13587789
Libtard here and ex barista. If I want black filter coffee I make it myself because a shop is just going to fuck it up even if it's a pourover. There just isn't enough time in the store for them to give it adequate attention. For espressos and lattes there is no point in making it at home because you need about $8000 worth of gear for it to not taste like dogshit, and while I have a six figure income and could "afford" that kind of setup, it's retardedly pointless considering I can just walk down the street instead of keeping my machine fired up 24/7 and calibrating my grind every 20 minutes.

>>13587680

these straws are more harmful because they degrade into micro polymers

>>13587769

>plastics straws are bad, so let's cut more trees to make these

>>13586249
I got a metal straws set for free from FedEx at my school's career fair, it works pretty well I think. (They also gave me a keyboard brush and a notepad, but Siemens gave me a fidget spinner + highlighter combo, and the Naval Nuclear Research lab gave me a pen that looks like a Virginia class sub.)

>>13586233
Rigid straws can stab your soft palate because of how much further back they go in your mouth compared to other utensils.

>>13588810
Yes. You use wood fiber from plants that grow rapidly and end up with a material that is much more suitable than plastic for disposables because of the more complete biodegradability.

>>13586199
How are these straws meant to decimate the Chinese and Indian population?

>>13587875
expresso maybe but lattes are easy shit.

paper straws are fucking gay id rather they just not give me a straw at all than give me a paper straw

>>13586199
This is the dumbest thing ever. Someone connected with the paper straw manufacturers is probably involved, because biodegradable plastic straws have existed for years (and work fine unless you're a dumbass and put them in a drink hot enough to pass their glass transition temperature, which is also hot enough to burn the fuck out of your mouth).

>>13586199
I think the whole thing is pretty asinine as we in America throw the majority of our waste away responsibly, our straws dont end up in the ocean. But what really annoys me is fuckin Costco. A plastic spoon used to sample 1 bite of chicken alfredo and then thrown away. And usually a plastic cup too. That waste is ridiculous. But hey they use paper straws at their food court so its OK, right?

>>13589698
Wtf do you think a latte is? Instant coffee and whipped cream?

>>13587656
Without it you wouldnt be posting here

>>13586399
Thats the state of trumptards for ya.
"We will buy plastic straws from Choina with his name on it, that 'll show em!"

>>13587238
You know China is only dumping shit in the rivers because the US and the EU pays them to do so right? Because they themselves are not able nor willing to burn the garbage or to dispose off it properly. Fucking retards like you make me sick.

>>13587328
Their tiny brains can not handle the truth so they have to constantly repurpose their ideological systems and its like trying to contain a leak in your boat but theres new ones constantly, which makes it annoying and frightening when you sit somewhere in the ocean.

>>13587328
Because libshits do those dumb things

>>13587729
I agree. Who the fuck even uses straws. There are so many daily consumption choices that are way more impactful. Food just being one. Going vegan will almost literally bring your personal carbon emission and pollution footprint to 1/4th of that of a daily meat eater.

>>13587328
Because theyre literal fucking manbabies who cant handle people being smart. Theyre on one level with these fat wanna be feminist whale women with LGBTFCdhxj+ stickers

>>13589666
More importantly, how will they reduce the population of the most consumerist shithole this earth has ever seen?
I think Straws wont kill enough americans for them to be useful. But its americans, they'll "find a way"™

>>13587328
Your question answers itself.
We get mad at them because they are dumb. Great example of exactly how dumb this was is many of the cities enacting the plastic straw ban also have free syringe programs, and the syringes end up all over the fucking place. Guess what the syringes are made of. That's right, plastic, and a whole lot more of it than a drinking straw.

>>13586218
WEW
>yes goy we only care about the environment, its not because of the regulations. Trust me!

I carry around a polished aluminium straw. It sits in a nice black velvet case with gold embroidery with the word "Paleas" in italic script centered on it. I always make a very big show of removing it from my suit pocket and carefully opening it with both hands, then gently lifting the straw out of the case so that I may use it to quaff my beverage.

>>13589866
The syringe program helps the people that your corporate greed fucked over.
Most of the addicts came into contact with heavy opioids due to prescriptions handed out by your capitalist medical system, in which only profit matters.
The two things are completely unrelated to one another, which is usually the case when Trumpkeks argue for or against anything.
Nobody needs plastic straws, bur government sanctioned drug addicts need clean syringes because otherwise they just spread every disease they have, and it costs much more, on a human level and a financial level to deal with thousands or millions of aids patients.

Fucking conservatard.

>>13587765
The absolute state of "rightwing" reactionaries lmao
No wonder everyone is so afraid of incels with deranged schizos like you running around freely.

It's all about avocado pit straws baby

>>13587765
I plan to stock up on disposable straws and leave them at places where they staff don't. They can throw them away if they disapprove.

>>13590704
Alright. Let's see how you survive WITHOUT any of the resources or infrastructure in any of the rural areas. Here's what immediately stops working in almost all cities, all at once:

Electricity (power plants aren't zoned in cities anymore, to say nothing of long-distance transmission lines)
Natural Gas
Petroleum
Potable Water (you'll be able to coast for about half a week most places with your existing water treatment chemicals, but after that tough luck)
Food, and Food distribution (especially staple starch crops)
Freight rail (all of it)
Long-haul truck freight (all of it)
River freight (all of it)

Our local fast food place switched to those and that is almost as bad as they trying to push veganism by selling vegan burgers for 1€

>>13587364
have you ever tried making a fucking straw out of bamboo before?

>>13591108
I love how both of you just ignore the existence of nuclear waste

>>13591191
Nuclear waste is still significantly less of a problem than the waste generated by more standard types of power plants spewing noxious fumes directly into the atmosphere and polluting nearby water sources.

>>13591191
Same applies to the people that ignore that solar panels are made using strip mining for rare Earth metals, which results is massive habitat destruction and toxic run off, processing which produces toxic byproducts, manufacturing which produces pollution, all for them to end up in a landfill three years later. Throw in the fact that it's Chinese making them and giving no shits about the environment, and the picture gets even uglier.
Why absolutely no one pushes for salt tower reflective solar farms, I will never know.

>>13591234
Actually, I do have a good guess; because there's less money to be made so there's less lobbyists and the politicians aren't invested in the industry like they are with oil and "green" energy.

>>13591191
We can burn nuclear waste with modern reactors. The US alone has 10,000 years worth of fuel in that form, and the resulting double-waste is only hazardous for about 300 years instead of 20,000.

>>13587680
>its not a denialist stance, its just a stance purely funded by trillionaire fossil fuel industries that denies the effects of climate change and shifts blame to developing countries
Sounds about white

They still have to find a place to put it all. And it's volatile.

>>13591253
>They still have to find a place to put it all.
No, they don't. You just build a breeder reactor on-site and it burns the waste right there, on-site.
>And it's volatile.
No, it's metal tubes filled with little ceramic slugs the size of a C-cell battery. It's the exact opposite of volatile. If it were not radioactive, it would be roughly as volatile as tungsten.

>>13591125
Not the same thing. Trump straws were made to pwn the libs during a silly controversy that became very politically heated for dumb reasons. Bernie dog collars are just part of the usual political merchandise that’s sold every election cycle.

>>13591184

but in the west, we burn our trash so what doe it change?

>>13589299
>>13591322
Or instead of being a moron and making paper straws, they can extract starches from the plant and treat them with acids to create polylactic acid. And get this: polylactic acid IS A BIODEGRADABLE PLASTIC. It composts in 12 months.

>>13586875
Its a dolphin not a porque

>>13591427
>Then why are there thousands of tons of waste being stored on the Great Lakes?
Because they're being stored on the grounds of nuclear reactors, which are ALWAYS situated next to a body of water or river to supply water for their cooling towers.

>The effects of a worst-case scenario — from a natural disaster to terrorism
>The effects of a worst-case scenario
>a worst-case scenario
>worst-case scenario
>worst-case
Clickbait, OUT. This is senseless fearmongering. Anyone who thinks that climate change is a serious and imminent problem who does not support using at least some nuclear power is clearly not serious about actually solving the problem. When you're talking about an "end of the world" scenario and you automatically say "nah, let's not" to the most potent zero-carbon power generation technology in existence, you can fuck right off back to your circlejerk.

>>13591427
>>13591529
In fact, because you're clearly unaware of the developments in nuclear reactor design in the past thirty five years, let's ponder how they chose to address a "worst case scenario."
Those are clearly
>all the cooling fails somehow with no backups
>someone blows the reactor open
The first one is solved by ensuring the fuel never reaches temperatures that can melt either the fuel or its casing in any configuration. Alternatively, if it's a liquid fuel like in thorium reactors, it melts a drain plug and spills into a cooling tray that cuts radioactivity to the point all the fuel solidifies. Even if the tray were somehow destroyed, it would just spread out and then solidify into an inert, non-water-soluble splash.
The second is handled similarly to the first: under no configuration is radioactivity capable of increasing beyond a maximum point based on geometry. In fact, a reactor breach would cause the pellets or liquid to spill out into the containment building and temperatures and radioactivity would immediately drop.

>>13589845
That's a complete lie to try and somehow pin the blame on again, western liberal democracy and try and get people riled up so they finally do the whole marxist uprising thing.

>>13586210
>Paying over $1 per straw to own the libs

>>13591693
I thought it was stupid, but judging by you and some other posters, it works. If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.
And again, this kind of stuff is swag you get in exchange for a donation; it's free, no, profitable advertisement for them. It's why a Chinese made Hillary Clinton (along with any other politician) mug went for $25 on her site.

>>13587680
>conservatives strongly support nuclear energy which is clean, safe, and proven to work
This, even fucking climate scientists agree that Nuclear is probably our best long term option. I live in Ontario, we have windmills up the ass yet they generate only 5% of our power. Nuclear is responsible for 61% and hydro another 20%. If we built one more Nuclear plant we could scrap our natural gas (3%) and wind and solar. Hell, modern plants don't even create the right material to make a bomb.

>>13587680
>it's not a denialist stance, its a stance that the models showing the doomsday scenario have been wrong for decades and continue to be wrong
Even the predictions from the infantile models developed 30 years ago are proving true yet your ilk pretends they're not and result in the fake argument of claiming they predicted doomsday by 2020 to appeal to their apocalypse loony toon base. The models nowadays are far more sophisticated and highly accurate.

>that if the climate is changing it always has an always will no matter what humans do and even if human activity is expediting the change its the fault of 3rd world countries like india, china, and russia more than anyone else yet for some reason only the united states is expected to take responsibility for it with economy destroying regulations and sanctions created by other countries
Oh, right. Your evangelical loving God is causing climate change, not humans! 98% of climate scientists agree that human influence on global warming is the primary cause. Getting even a majority of scientists to agree on a thesis is extremely difficult, let alone 98%. But again, the conservative strategy embodied by trump is to simply block the scientific method from govt. oversight agencies when it hurts their feefees. Oh, btw, the US is the 2nd largest carbon dumping nation after China. Try again, magatard!

>further, while everyone agrees finding new cleaner fuel sources is important, it's not worth destroying the livelyhood of millions as well as raising energy costs to go cold turkey on bullshit like solar and wind which has been proven to not be a suitable alliterative
Did that come from a F(au)x News or Breitbart rant?

>>13592028
(cont.)
>further still, conservatives strongly support nuclear energy which is clean, safe, and proven to work but the left refuses to invest because the retards equate power plants with bombs I guess.
if you are anti-nuclear you are anti-environment
The problem with nuclear has and always will be safe disposal/storage of the waste. In typical conservative fashion they say lets seal it up where it will be safe for 100 years in areas far away from where us rich and privileged live and devil take the hindmost, let them fend for themselves.

>>13589291
nigga, do your deepthroat your straws?

>>13592033
>The problem with nuclear has and always will be safe disposal/storage of the waste.
And we have presented you with the fact that there is now a solution to that waste, that also handles the energy demands of our society well beyond the foreseeable future.
>they say lets seal it up where it will be safe for 100 years
I'm telling you the new, secondary waste from these reactors only needs to be carefully tended for about 300 years. That's younger than many university libraries worldwide. I think we can manage to keep track of the cancer rocks for that long, especially if they're intrinsically tied to the sites where most of our power is generated.

>>13586233
you should get the environmental bendy straws. metal straws can chip your teeth if you're not careful

>>13587630
it can chip your teeth if youre not careful

>>13592033
>The problem with nuclear has and always will be safe disposal/storage of the waste
New reactors can actually use some waste as fuel.

>>13592567
Almost all of it, actually. Conventional nuclear is only about 2% efficient, so an American consumes about a soda can sized lump of nuclear fuel to meet their entire life's demand of energy. Breeder reactors change that to consuming only the tab on the soda can worth of nuclear fuel for a lifetime at American living standards.

You've presented no solution to nuclear waste whatsoever except the tired mantra, trust us we can contain it, but it won't be stored in the rich backyards, it will be placed in yours.

It's understandable when a profiteering politician or industry lobbyist spews misinformation to promote the destruction of the environment, but what's astounding is they've been so successful with their propaganda that they've convinced "people" like you to spew their nonsense for free.

>>13592661
Bruh, the oil and gas industry is way more damaging. Yeah, concrete bunkers leak, but the damage they would do is negligible compared to radioactive coal dust. The science is against you here

>>13592579
>Breeder reactors change that to consuming only the tab on the soda can worth of nuclear fuel for a lifetime at American living standards.
And so long as you don't build on fault lines it's by far the safest power source

>>13592733
Building on fault lines is a problem for all power and chemical facilities. The newer designs do mitigate that a lot though.

>>13586199
these things suck for snorting coke

Just drink out of the cup. Why do you need a straw?

>>13586875
>Yeah lets ban all things
How about you focus on the issue instead of trying to virtue signal you "caring for the environment" while ignoring the actual issues?
When was the last time you saw anyone talk about plastic nest on those shitty twitter campaigns that somehow get made into policy?

>>13592898
WHY do you need a cup? just drink out of the bottle stop wasting resources mate!

Are you specifically talking about CANDU reactors? Or light water American reactors that require active cooling all the time, just like Fukushima?

>>13591504
Because you'd be too busy starving in a bread line.

>needs a straw to drink their carbonated fructose syrup while they drive to do important things in their lives
you are literally the problem, and they provide a reactive solution that might help, but the proactive solution at this point is to just exterminate people like you never grew up past the need for a god damn sippy cup

So liberals have taste then?
“Men” as you describe are just soiboi fags afraid of change and afraid of everything. Men who fuck other men are less faggoty than here men you speak of

How do people’s straws even get soggy? Like drink nretard, drink you’re fucking drink not sip it for 5 hours. Must be the same retards who show up at a bar or restaurant at last call and get confused when people are annoyed they’ve drunken a quarter of their beer in 30 minutes

>>13586199
How about just not using a straw?

>>13596495
Americans need to drink from a sippy cup, otherwise they throw tantrums.

Most of the pollution doesn't even come from the US. God I hate idiots. It comes from third world countries and China.

I bought a pack of a thousand online just to throw out in the trash, fuck the turtles

Don't you need to chop down trees to make the paper straws? How is that any better for the environment?

>>13586226
This is the only way.

>>13586199
