Cabbages and Kings posted:I had gotten cheap, unrefrigerated tortillas to make pre-xmas dinner. My mother pointed out those always used to be in the cold aisle, and asked why this was no longer true. I said gee mom let's find out, and pointed at the two phthalates in the ingrediants. "They put plastic in them now, mom, and then we cook and eat it". Wow, which pthalates?

i'm going to guess DEHP and DiNP phthalates aren't plastics themselves, they're plasticizers, ie acid compounds that make materials more malleable. they're also not safe for consumption and end up in food anyway because of cross-contamination from the plastic encasing everything, so it's a moot point

i'm kind of tired of furniture chat, but i'll always be in the "ikea can go gently caress itself" category, with their wobbly rear end bullshit furniture maybe other posters would feel the same if they had to deal with ikea, ikea furniture, and ikea customers as much as i have to on a weekly basis it's really important to pick up ikea furniture from the very bottom, so you don't pick it up by something that will literally rip the screws out and ruin the entire loving thing and then jam the top back on and pretend Nothing Happened before the customer notices i'm happy those 5 bookcases are working out, but i have a feeling like they're probably more way more stable when they're full of heavy books to weigh it down

parabens get called out in shampoos and cosmetics because they're generally riskier re: allergies when applied topically than when they're ingested as preservatives in terms of toxic poo poo that's in all your food i'd be more worried about what's not on the ingredient lists

To your concern about moving -- we have always been super nice to our movers, both in terms of tipping well, but also, in the case of these specific bookcases, I went to a lot of trouble to secure them really loving well with tight plastic wrap around cardboard around bubble wrap, to the point that the movers thanked us for making their lives easier in at least one case. Yep, moving Ikea poo poo is bullshit, it often won't survive, and it very often won't really survive disassembly and reassembly.

Paradoxish posted:was your goal to show why people buy ikea furniture the poster's comment was about needing a years salary, which was obviously an exaggeration, but those items are priced relatively low compared to some stuff I've seen. he also asked for an end table that was solid wood specifically

It might answer this for you, but only for like 20 seconds put differently, I believe there is an objective, but our lives are experienced entirely subjectively. if people had to deal with objective reality on a constant basis we might all be what we'd consider "insane", but also probably interacting with the environment a lot differently

Here in Finland I know a local guy who makes solid wood, like Birch, tables. 5cm thick and one table takes a couple of planks glued together. Some guy nearby welds him some steel feet for the tables and paints them. They're like 800€ or so, not bad for a table you can use forever. You can also select wooden feet etc. Basically full custom tables... Maybe someone around you makes something like this too? I bought an Artek 83A table because I had some Artek stuff already 🤷 My kitchen table is from the 50's, solid wood. Maybe you can find some second hand? No need to go to Ikea really at all.

sometimes i think about microwaving soup as a kid and covering the bowl with plastic and the plastic kinda melting/burning/something and being told something to the effect of "don't be a baby, it's not going to hurt you" now when i heat up soup i just leave it uncovered

Levi's are fine and as good as a lot of jeans that cost 3-4x as much (and some that cost 50% as much), but they're not made to be serious work pants and they will not hold up to scrambling around trees or getting nicked by tools, the pockets will rip from carrying anything heavier than a basic knife, they do not survive even brief contact with extremely hot surfaces or moving friction against rugged surfaces/rocks, and they provide extremely minimal protection against contact with any kind of hot or caustic chemical. It was a serious comment but left field because my use cases are not the same as most people who buy a pair of jeans. I do feel like Levi's should maybe be more inexpensively priced for what they are; you can probably say the same thing about Kuhl because even though they make more comfortable pants than the $30 work pants at Tractor Exchange, I'd have to field test them to see if they really last any longer, and I probably should do that.
