zephorah@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What Fantastic (and Janky) Things Do You Do With Leftover Packaging?41·23 days agoBoth of these options involve taking the time to remove all tape, stickers, and other add ons.
I run cardboard through the bandsaw and slap the strips together to make new scratchpad inserts. Walmart now wants $10-13 for a small one, up from $3-5. It also breaks down boxes fast. Use a tiny bit of nontoxic school glue, in the middle of the strips. Too much glue and they’ll be too hard and the cat won’t use them. If I had to do the cutting by hand, I wouldn’t do it.
Break boxes down flat to kill swaths of lawn for garden space. Cover with garden dirt & compost. Alternatively, cover with wood chips, gravel, or rocks for borders or pathing.
And they say we Americans don’t know Geography.

The main point is someone has to decide.
zephorah@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does (human) organ trafficking exist?111·27 days agoOrgan transplant.
There’s a board who decides which patients qualify for the list. If you are someone who sat in a chair gaming, from teens to 30s, pickling your liver with alcohol for the duration, thus killing it, you won’t make that waiting list. Two reasons. You can’t be trusted to care for the new liver. You’re not a useful member of society.
Organ transplants happen when someone young and healthy dies, is in a position that those organs can be preserved, and the family, in the midst of their horror, shock, and grief, both allows the conversation and then agrees to the donation.
As such, if that sit in a chair gaming and pickling themself individual has a billionaire dad, maybe they go black market? Otherwise it’s hospice care.

zephorah@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Children die as USAID aid cuts snap a lifeline for the world's most malnourishedEnglish29·1 month agoWhat’s galling is the standard format response is: why are we feeding people over there when we have hungry kids right here?
While fighting school lunches, cutting SNAP, and gutting American food banks. This government will never spend USAID money to feed the American people.
High odds the feed our own argument will persist regardless.
zephorah@lemm.eeto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfillEnglish29·1 month agoAs the squeeze continues, the trash dumps will increase. It costs money to dump trash appropriately. Out of all the utilities, trash pickup will likely be sacrificed first. This isn’t an endorsement.
