It still wouldn’t be the weirdest or worst part of that film. Off topic, but I’m convinced the movie is the dramatization of the narrative that Wonka presented to his company lawyers. For half of that stuff to exist and work as it does, there’s got to be a real horror story running behind the scenes.

It would be better not to use plastic at all, yeah. They definitely leach plasticizers from the polymer into the water, even if they’re BPA free. My standard bottle is stainless steel. I’ve heard good arguments for glass, but it’s too fragile for me. Aluminum bottles usually have a plastic liner. Nothing is perfect. I just try to limit waste and reduce harm.

Every single day?! Have you tried more red meat, dairy, processed grains, cheese, saturated fats etc?

Infinite poop. You sit on the toilet to poop, but the poop never stops coming out of your butt. You have to start flushing the toilet every two minutes to keep up. You try to pinch your butt closed but that makes your insides hurt. The poop accelerates. You call 911. The paramedics call for doctors. The doctors call for specialists. The story trends on Twitter. You turn down talk show appearances. Your septic tank fails. People form a cult. Your toilet is finished. Volunteers arrive with buckets and shovels. You are completely used to the smell. The poop accelerates. You are moved to a stepladder with a hole in the top step. The poop accelerates. The shovelers abandon the buckets and shovel directly out the window. The poop accelerates. A candlelight vigil forms around your house. One of the workers falls over and can’t free himself. The poop accelerates. A priest knocks over the stepladder and tackles you out the window. You land in the pile. The poop accelerates. The force now propels you forward and upward. Vigil goers grab at your legs. The poop ignites from their candles. The Facebook live event hits 1 million viewers. The poop accelerates. You are 30 feet in the air. The fire engulfs the vigil and your house. 60 feet. The poop accelerates. The torrent underneath you is deafening. 5 million Facebook live viewers. You try to close up shop but your butthole disintegrated long ago. 120 feet up. Your house explodes. The poop accelerates. 1000 feet. You are now tracked on radar. You try to change your angle of ascent but you should have thought of that way earlier. The poop accelerates. 4,000 feet. NORAD upgrades to DEFCON 3. Concentric circles of fire engulf your city. The poop accelerates. You have broken the sound barrier. 30,000 feet. You no longer take in enough oxygen to sustain consciousness. 60,000 feet. CNN is reporting on all the world records you’ve broken. 200,000 feet. You are no longer alive. The poop accelerates. Your body disintegrates but your poop contrail remains. NASA can no longer track you. You break the light-speed barrier and we can no longer bear witness. The poop accelerates. Forever.

It’s also pretty unrealistic, just biologically/medically. Most people need to have their poop day once per month, if not once per week.
- Comment on My tender eyes and ears 1 week ago:
That makes sense. Firefox has some good extensions, if you just want it browser-based on your phone, and f-droid has some whole-phone options. Just FYI in case you’re able to take advantage of one now or at some point in the future.
- Comment on My tender eyes and ears 1 week ago:
No criticism, just curious: why no ad block for the phone?
- Comment on Water time 1 week ago:
They really should just be water dispensers so people can fill a reusable bottle or cup. Water is such a basic, universal need that it should be readily available at all facilities that are open to the public. That’s generally the case, but I’d go a step further and argue that there should be a clearly marked water dispenser within an arms reach of each bottled water display. I buy bottled water sometimes, but it’s because I forgot my bottle. I use the new one as a temporary one.
- Comment on The forbidden fourth leche 1 week ago:
I didn’t want to show my hand, but off the record, I’ve experimented with Norwegian beaver milk and Mongolian camel milk to achieve in vitro samples of sesenta y tres leches. Admittedly, it’s highly unstable and there have been casualties. Such is the price of progress.
- Comment on The forbidden fourth leche 1 week ago:
That’s a good point. It seems to be an infinite series that should converge on one value of leche. If we solve for that, we should be able to make the ultimate torta de leche, which, paradoxically, is made with only one supreme leche.
- Comment on The forbidden fourth leche 1 week ago:
I think we can go a lot further.
Common milk producers:
Cow
Bison
Goat
Sheep
Horse
Yak
Reindeer
Common milk types:
Evaporated
Condensed
Powdered
Whole
2%
1%
Skim
By my count, we should be able to do at least cuarenta y nueve leches. Are we even trying?

We’ll see. I hope you’re right. Similar tactics in the housing market have created situations in which rent is cheaper than mortgage payments, which is a bad portent.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 weeks ago:
I admire your optimism, but I think this will get used as leverage for a push to cloud gaming. The end goal is for is to own nothing.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 weeks ago:
They’ve had the hardware for it since the first Xbox, so I assume they’ve gone out of their way to avoid that. I believe they want to make sure their consumers buy both an Xbox and a PC.

I may have misrepresented myself here. My battery case is something like that, but about a quarter the size/capacity. I pretty much just have two replacements for each application so that I can practice FIFO while ordering replacements for restocking.

The Wall People: [whispering loudly in chorus]: “We crave incarnation. Give us your fleshshsh that we may return to the world of humansssss.”
Me: “Well, that’s not going to happen. You wanna watch some trash TV? I’ve seen you watching over my shoulder.”
The Wall People: “Fleshshsh…fleshshsh, fleshshsh…”
Me: “Alright, alright! I could invite Randy over. He’s been lonely for a while and might enjoy the company of having some psychospiritual roommates in his head.”
The Wall People: "Raaaaandyyyy? The one who “saves it for later” when he gets nachos stuck in his beard and says “females have unreasonably high standards for men. That Raaaandyyy?”
Me: “Yeah, maybe you can help him see things differently and, y’know, makes some changes.”
The Wall People: “sssssssss…”
Me: "Yes?
The Wall people: “…ssssset Hulu to play the Secret Lives of Mormon Houswives.”
Me: “Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
[Later]
The Wall People: “Whhhhyyyyy do Jessi and Whitney remain friends after publicly accusing each other?”
Me: [through a mouthful of potato chips]: “I don’t know, but if someone accused me of being a manipulator, I would not hang out with them.”
The Wall People: “Manipulator? The other one betrayed her trusssssst!”
Me: “Look, I’m not taking sides here. You can’t take this stuff too seriously. It’s not functionally real for us, if it’s even objectively real at all. If you can’t handle that, we can always switch over to Bluey, Paw Patrol, or PBS Kids.”
The Wall People: “Fffffiiine. I am calm nowwwww. Paaaaassss the chipssss.”
Me: “That’s a good legion of wall-dwelling, disembodied spirits.”

Does everyone else not have a battery organizer case with a battery tester and a reserve of each type of battery proportional to the number in use among household devices, arranged by capacity?
