The only thing that matters is if it’s biodegradable. If the plastic won’t break down naturally, it doesn’t matter if it’s made from starch or crude oil.
Polylactic acid is a low weight semi-crystalline bioplastic used in agriculture, medicine, packaging and textile. Polylactic acid is one of the most widely used biopolymers, accounting for 33% of all bioplastics produced in 2021. Although biodegradable in vivo, polylactic acid is not completely degradable under natural environmental conditions, notably under aquatic conditions. Polylactic acid disintegrates into microplastics faster than petroleum-based plastics and may pose severe threats to the exposed biota.

“Maybe later” mostly makes sense. If the options were “Yes” and “No”, people might assume that if they press “No” now, they will never be able to change their minds. For rating an app, that might be acceptable. But for setting up, e.g. a printer, it’s harmful. You want users to know that their choice isn’t set in stone.

Interesting fun (?) fact: In Germany you cannot bury a pet that’s been put down by a vet. That’s because the medication used to kill the pet isn’t supposed to leech into the surface water.

What’s the point here? Shitting on a good deed because someone else has done something bad? Arguing that small contributions don’t matter because others cancel that out? Great, now everbody feels entitled to shitty behaviour because they’re not the most rotten apple in the barrel. I’m sure many good things will come from that line of thought.
The rule is “Don’t be a jerk”, not “Don’t be a jerk if you’re the only one”

Oil doesn’t have surface tension and it stays in the cloth. At a certain point it’s not surface tension that keeps liquids together but friction.

What’s the point of specifying ‘in a single pellet’? All pellets of a batch are the same. You don’t get 160 chemicals in two pellets.

- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 1 month ago:
I think it’s more accurate to say that water is readily available in places where humans are likely to go. Because, you know, humans don’t tend to go where there is no water.

Isaac Asimov, “Hostess” (1951):
There were four fingers but no thumb. Each finger had five independent ball-and-socket joints. In this way, the flexibility lost with the absence of the thumb was made up for by the almost tentacular properties of the fingers. What was even more interesting to her biologist’s eyes was the fact that each Hawkinsite finger ended in a vestigial hoof, very small and, to the layman, unidentifiable as such, but clearly adapted at one time to running, just as man’s had been to climbing.
[…]
“[…] Look, there are five intelligent races in the Galaxy. These have all developed independently, yet have managed to converge in remarkable fashion. It is as though, in the long run, intelligence requires a certain physical makeup to flourish. […]”
[…]
“Now when the differences among the intelligences are closely investigated, it is found over and over again that it is you Earthmen, more than any of the others, who are unique. For instance, it is only on Earth that life depends upon metal enzymes for respiration. Your people are the only ones which find hydrogen cyanide poisonous. Yours is the only form of intelligent life which is carnivorous. Yours is the only form of life which has not developed from a grazing animal. And, most interesting of all, yours is the only form of intelligent life known which stops growing upon reaching maturity.”
