*looks at phone
People died getting the raw materials out of the ground to make this. Many of their bodies were just left in the ground, some were children. Many others died of disease from becoming contaminated with by-products of the purification process.
People literally died to make this device and it’s going to be obsolete in few months ostensibly for security reasons, but also so I’ll be forced to buy a new phone.
Long live the Orphan Crushing Machine.
oh but u see its very expensive to recycle so we gotta keep crushing orphans. u wouldnt want ur iphone to be $5000 right
tbh they gonna keep increasing prices and not do anything differently so. i love the world
frankly the world would be better if smartphones cost 5000$ but then also lasted 15-20 years
we all know that no matter what they cost, they wont be built to last under capitalism. my 10 year old phone works just fine but cant install any modern apps. my 5 year old phone works just fine, and so many major banking and even government apps no longer work. bc we live in hell, we have to have a new phone with worse featureset, more lockdowns, that last even less and cost more bc “security” or whatever the fuck. i hope someday this changes
till then i try my very best to use fdroid for most apps (ofc minus banking and government bc we live in hell)

I do this for the amount of effort that went into the packaging for most products that immediately gets thrown in the bin. Then there’s the life-cycle of the paper towel…
Buuuut you notice good/bad paper towels! The same goes for toilet paper.
What is really fucked is that everyone knows what good tp feels like. Yet, some companies choose to make awful tp to save money. Don’t hit me with it is cheaper to make. No, you save a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a cent using single ply compared to two ply because most of the cost is in shipping the tp.
Toilet paper in public places doesn’t suck because every building and business owner is a cheapskate. Toilet paper in public restrooms sucks because if it doesn’t, people steal it.
May you never work at a cheap pharmaceutical company.
I like reading instructions for the simplest things. I go to the warning section and I imagine that someone had to type out text to not submerge the mechanical part of the my mini food processor because someone decided it was a good idea to wash a mini food processor by submerging it in water.
What are you supposed to submerge it in then? Fire? Checkmate.
Bleach /s
Bleach is for injecting.
Like UV light
