Children are just things you make that will eventually die, some ending up killing themselves because of you constantly telling them how much a disappointment they are, because you are also fucked up from your parent's doing the same thing. And then we're extinct. Happily ever after. |

That's the magic of plastic: Producing more of it is cheaper and easier than producing less. |

Not 'just' throw away. They provide a very nice convenience of bundling a bunch of trash together and make it all easier to transport to the bin. |

Of course! You've solved it! We just need bigger bags to put the landfills in! |

That reminds me of a Lily Tomlin joke: "The other day I bought a little wastebasket and brought it home in a paper bag. Then I crumpled up the paper bag and put it in the wastebasket." A lot of her stand-up act was just making little ironic observations like that. |

They also are used to ball up you clothing to toss in the car when you move...then in the trash can to then throw out. Yeah, you win this one. |

And you use them to light cigarettes that literally go up in smoke. You can’t even store the smoke in your lungs, but at least you get to keep the tar and cancer. |

Food packaging also really irks me. Technically, it has a use beyond being thrown away, but there's just so much of it. You can readily find products in the shops that should be advertised as "plastic trash" and they just stuck a bit of food inside to keep it in shape... |

Not really. You buy them as a container to keep your trash. So they serve a time limited purpose like pretty much any other product. |

Technically one buys food just to eventually flush it down the toilet after briefly using it to maintain energy and mass. |

I used to get them for free from the grocery store, and then dumbasses banned them, now for the first time in my life I need to purchase them separately to use once instead of twice. |

I mean, they found one in the Mariana Trench, we probably shouldn't use those anymore. |

We can still see the outline of your sex toys, so as long as you're sticking to that gauge and length (impressive, though!) you might want to double or even triple bag. Best regards, |

The spring mix I purchase and forget about in the bottom drawer, only to be found again when it’s a bag of black goo is a sacrifice to the fridge god. |

poop bags to. I used to sorta hate using them as I use the grocery bags for it along as little trash bags (although they get tied up and thrown into a bigger trash back when full). The poop bag rolls are just to good to make sure you never are without a bag (you need to have two attached to your leash sho you can refill one after its out while useing the other). Could say cat litter although you could debate you use it for a purpose first but then again you can say that about poop bags and ultimately trash bags. Its purpose being collecting the trash in one location before disposal. |
