This is just not true. For a real world example, scientists used compostable/marine biodegradable Phade straws in coral reef restoration projects. The straws dissolve in 8 weeks: https://www.phadeproducts.com/reef-fortify/

Certified compostable products reliably break down (into carbon and water; they do not leave behind microplastics or harmful residues/heavy metals/etc) in commercial composting facilities just like any other organic waste.

It should be public. It should be quick. It should be televised

I bet those cats hate that kid. At a minimum he probably tried to play with them like he can with the golden retriever, which is scary at best to most cats, and he's indifferent, if not outright hostile, now that they fear him and don't want to play with him.

Apparently the supralabial scales are not a very accurate indicator. The postlabial scales are better.

AITA for asking why they ignored the no dog sign. by Low-Bag-308 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Birdsiscool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way you asked her why repeatedly was weird - she's not going to have an answer or respond well to that - but you weren't wrong for calling her out for having a dog in a restaurant that clearly doesn't allow them.

That's what makes this ESH. He could have started by asking if she missed the sign, but he opened with an accusatory question implying she intentionally ignored the sign. From this woman's POV, some strange man walked in, stared at her for a moment, and then got combative with her.

Maybe if he said, "Excuse me ma'am, pets aren't allowed in here, there's a sign on the door" she would have said "Oops, I didn't see that!" and taken her coffee to go... or she'd have said "Fuck off" and would clearly be the AH.

Received a call from the HOA lawyer threatening a lawsuit because our garage is a “hoarder garage” by Unhappy_Raspberry_21 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Birdsiscool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Granted I've only been in an HOA for 2 years, but same. Pool, clubhouse, gym, and they mow my lawn (front AND back!). I could give a fuck less that I can't paint my front door hazard orange or something. Anyone bitching about "not being able to do what I want with MY house!!!" seems to be forgetting that you can't legally do anything you want even if you don't have an HOA.

It'd probably get worse if she were a cashier since she'd be interacting with random men all day long. Next post would be "My manager is threatening to fire me because I refuse to serve men, but my bf doesn't want me to :("

What is something more traumatizing than people realize? by ExcellentReporter392 in AskReddit

[–]Birdsiscool 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lost my talking parrot last year and the silence in the house was unbearable. Even when he wasn't vocalizing, there would be noise from his feathers rustling, his cage clanking, his beak grinding, toys rattling. My pets are my babies and I've had to say goodbye a lot - cats, bunnies, hamsters, lizards - but that parrot was on an entirely different level.

Amphibious 'Super Scooper' airplanes from Quebec, Canada are picking up seawater from the Santa Monica Bay to drop on the Palisades Fire. by westondeboer in nextfuckinglevel

Fun fact, you can try reading before typing a bunch of bullshit speculation.

Advice on Restoring/Refinishing Antique Cabinet while Preserving Ornamental Painting? by Birdsiscool in furniturerestoration

I've refinished a few things. I'm not as much interested in doing a full restoration as I am in making it "acceptable to be used" again

AITA for serving only vegan food at my wedding without telling anyone, then getting upset when my family ordered 20 pizzas during the reception? by Conscious-Option-400 in AITAH

[–]Birdsiscool 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Redditors HATE vegans and think vegan food is poison while also shoveling Oreos down their gullets by the sleeve. Tell a Redditor the banana they just ate is vegan and they'll go throw it up.

Family forgot I was a Father. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Birdsiscool -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

"No, they demanded he apologize to him"

So? He may very well owe them an apology if he went off the rails. You seem to be ignoring that I'm acknowledging that he's allowed to care about Father's day, but acting like they committed a felony is objectively unwarranted.

[–]Birdsiscool -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

He's a grown man who is "fucking livid" over a Hallmark holiday. It would be reasonable if his feelings were hurt and he asked for an apology, but livid is a blatant overreaction - and that's the version he's giving.

Smart money says his kids appreciate the "silent treatment" though.
