Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.

Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.

Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)

Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

I laughed at "smart passing people". Everyone thinks they're an intellectual on the internet.

I think the past 15 years of thinkpieces have shown that you can write pretty much anything with an air of weight to it and a large group of smart passing people will believe in it

Most hoard images from Wikipedia.

Found with the rest of the hoard, the handaxe pictured above was probably found either while digging his own hole for the treasure or maybe earlier in a precious bout of hoarding by some Romano-Briton who thought it was cool enough to bury along with all of his coins and Juliane's bracelet, because cool rock. This was absolutely the correct move.

I hate house flippers so much! My house was flipped and over priced but near me is a house that was also flipped going for $599.000. It's a bungalow. Ridiculous.

You know what, there's too much products, too much choice, much variety. Don't like what you see at the store? Millions of stores online. I'm overwhelmed, I don't even know what to buy anymore.
