Cool

Why tho

[–] [email protected] 38 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Personally, id choose them over plastic ones if not just to save plastic

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

doesn't metal manufacturing use quite a lot more energy?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 10 months ago (3 children)

But it has the benefit of not breaking down into micro plastics and getting into every part of everyone.

"Honey, I accidently digested our SD card again"

True enough. Though I wonder, as a thought experiment, what would be the actual better option in the long run. Some type of resin maybe?

Uranium

that's...

I somehow doubt that.

I guess using renewables for the energy needs of metal production would work too

Good thing heavy metal toxicity isn't a problem.

Steel or stainless ain't gonna give you metal poisoning

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Stainless steel leaches nickel and chromium.

Better toss all your cookware then

I'll toss it when I toss my plastic tupperware. The problem is re-usability, not what it's made out of. SD card gets tossed out, doesn't matter what it is made out of, it's going to pollute.

What a downvote Nancy.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

People will pay more money for premium.

But yeah environmentally this is a damn good idea. We should make everything out of metal.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

sounds pretty metal

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe extreme weather conditions for trail cams? That's the only reason I would think about using one but never actually buy one for lol.
