There is an abundance of oil.
There is an abundance of coal.
There is an abundance of gas.
There is an abundance of food.
There is an abundance of water.
Scarcity is being fabricated by psychopaths.
In more gyms than not, the most jacked dude is usually the late 30s early 40s guy who’s got 2-3 kids, works for a living & doesn’t know or give a fuck what fitness influencers say
I feel like everything I use constantly breaks or doesn't work efficiently, including apps, social media platforms etc.
I know most of it is deliberate, but holy shit I'm 5 seconds away from only buying appliances made in the 60s, and throwing my phone into a lake.
A cast iron pan's non-stick coating is baked-on animal fat, and the pan that replaced it was made for decades with a chemical DuPont paid $671 million to settle lawsuits over.
Cast iron:
- One material, poured in a foundry
- Its non-stick layer is fat, baked hard onto the metal
- Gets slicker every time you fry in it
- Goes in the oven, on the coals, over a fire
- Puts iron into whatever you cook
- A 1930s Griswold still fetches more than a new pan
- Outlives the person who bought it
Non-stick:
- A skin of PTFE over thin aluminium
- Starts breaking down at around 260°C
- The fumes give people polymer fume fever
- The same fumes kill pet birds in the next room
- Made with PFOA until the industry phased it out
- PFOA was found in the blood of nearly every American tested
- Sold on the understanding you'll buy another in a few years
Your grandmother's non-stick came off the Sunday joint. Yours came with a class action.
