I have to pay with paper money.
Ah, you can get actual glass glasses, but typically only for unusual prescriptions.
And you can absolutely buy linen linens. They aren’t even hard to find, just more expensive.
Same with silverware, only way more expensive.

Sidewalk chalk isn’t made of chalk anymore?
TIL: It’s made of calcium sulfate, i.e. gypsum, the same stuff that goes into drywall, as opposed to calcium carbonate, i.e. rock chalk.

I guess count me in that 10,000 as well

Yeah… that’s really not in the 1 in 10k catagory. Not even the 1 in 10 catagory.

I would say it’s probably a lot less than ten thousand - I doubt this is something “everybody knows”

Well, it certainly isn’t made of sidewalk.

Unless your sidewalks are made of gypsum.
