Thought 1: This is the most Lemmy image I've seen all day.
Thought 2: I am unavoidably going to make a comment to my wife about grabbing her like a dual shock controller. Probably right as said grabbing occurs. And I probably won't explain myself.
Listen, okay, over 90% of your oh-so-"natural" hedgehog-based pencils are dyed with carcinogenic chromium (pictured in the OP as the yellow color) and act as an environmental contaminant when thrown away. At worst, it's a lateral change to use plastic.
I actually had no idea these were a different kind of pencil! The kind I've always used are ordinary wooden ones that... well, some people chew up, the graphite in which uses clay, shavings of which are usually fine-ish (maybe not?!) to dispose off anywhere and... some startup, years ago, tried putting plant saplings in.
Sorry, I didn't mean to spread misinformation. Nothing in the OP is dangerous (that I know of). I thought we were doing a shitpost-y rehash of the cow-based versus plant-based leather argument you see online sometimes.
Specifically, plant-based leather normally is plastic, but then over 90% of cow-based leather is chromium-tanned so it doesn't naturally decompose (cross-links the collagen fibers). In a recent study, 82% of cow-based leather products sampled from southeastern China contained more than the EU regulatory limit for CrVI.
The argument being that, between that poor disposibility of the overwhelming majority of cow leather and the relatively enormous amount of resources that go into making it (raising the cow, slaughterhouse, tannery (esp. toxic runoff for the latter)), citing the environment as a justification to dunk on vegans for using plastic-based leather reflects a narrow understanding of cow leather's impact on the environment.
Awww, no-no-no, it's great that we all get to learn!
Thanks for this information, too!
This often happens to me even on Reddit LOL.
Thoughts born from less knowledge on a matter from my end, lead to the misunderstanding that... I must have some... extreme [political] opinion on the matter LOL.

Keep going!
i appreciate the help with my confuse. and yeah i saw that i'm just playing dumb because that's kind of creepy and i want to pretend the world isn't that skeezy.

that doesn't really make sense with the caption, since the crossover of people who know the character and love baja blast are probably people who would like to drink the character's piss
hedgehogs are misunderstood. their backs are spiney but if you can get to the prize underneath you are rewarded with the softest fur you could ever lay hands on.

I've got this from lemmy. And the boy was an answer to it. So yeah, checks out.

Disgusting. This is why I only use ethically sourced mechanical pencils.

Wouldn't they be made of plastic? Do you also ethically dump their remains?

I am confuse are they saying hatsune miku is made of baja blast
TheColonel@reddthat.com · 9 pts · 186d
I believe, given that she’s by a restroom, that she’s pissing Baja Blast.
The red arrow also seems to be indicating it’s from her bladder.

I’m just here interpreting images, man.
But seriously, she’s right in front of a restroom.
