You just need to add a thin layer plastic on the inside to prevent that from happening! Then it's no longer plastic-free, but it's still reusable and greatly reduces the amount of plastic needed compared to disposable cups.

I don't think this holds water.

I don't think mead holds water either.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Water ratios vary between 4:1 and 2:1 in mead, based on a two second google search, actually.

Just use the viking, he can hold about 60% water.

This is especially true if your enemies are billionaires, petroleum energy execs, or others with exceptionally large culpability for climate change.

Maybe a good lesson from the Indians, find a way to use as much as possible from your prey

It's true for pretty much anyone who is actually worth pillaging.

And yet not one of my enemies has volunteered to give me their skull.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The average adult skull has a capacity of around 1.2 litres, or five regular cups of coffee. Our buddy with the axe there should think about getting his insulated and capped. Even if he's not carrying around his whole day's supply, it's gonna get cold fast.

"Reusable skulls of billionaires are so in right now! And the supply has never been bigger!"

Not to be confused with the skullcap:

Wearing your enemies skull on your own head...

In the table he has the trash that is left after you make the cup. He's looking for a recycler.

This is very obviously not correct, though it's funny. The amount of energy, CO2 and waste expended to produce a human skull is astronomical compared to a plastic cup

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

But that depends, if you are doing a human skull farm than of course it is. If your enemy would have lived to 80+ years otherwise this is 100℅ more environmental friendly. Also the skulls reusable I guess.

So you're saying my human skull farm is helping to destroy the planet?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You could destroy the planet less by reducing their lifespan, only letting females live since the boys tend to eat more due to their hormones and stuff, and utilize every part rather than just the skulls!

Edit: would it be less? Idk this stuffs hard to quantify.

I'm going to need to see a whitepaper on this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

You have some excellent points

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The plastic problem is entirely separate from the climate problem.
Avoiding plastic cups does nothing for the climate, most alternatives actually release more CO2 during production.
Especially human skulls.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

During production yes, but think of the amount of carbon that would have been produced if you hadn't used your enemies skull. Your enemy might have reproduced and had more kids to make even more CO2.

pillaging is not green friendly
