Well now, they've recently started giving people poo poo pills in mainstream medicine, maybe all the rest of this stuff is good too...

The disposable blades are the root of the problem.

Having shaved with both a straight razor and those 100 year old style safety razors with just the metal blade itself being disposable, the second option is infinitely preferable. I'm pretty comfortable going through like 50 grams of steel a year as far as consumption goes.

Mine just go to the dump to be picked up by a big rear end front end loader though.

ya that was what started the conversation. alright, we give it plenty of poo poo but build a better solution to that problem. can't put literal razorblades in the general waste or really anywhere else without creating unnecessary hazard. rough to even handle the waste basket or whatever, and expecting people to go dispose of them when suds up is poor safety design. the blades are small enough and used infrequently enough that if put in an intelligent place those little slots can solve the problem for decades, hear stories of people opening them up and finding a big pile of rust on the floor but no damage or anything else.

You put them in something like this



which can in turn go into your recycling bin or taken to a metal recycler if you don’t have local recycling pickup.

the double sided blades come with a little plastic dispenser that you also put them in when it's dull. You just throw the whole thing out and it's safer for the garbage man than the disposable bic razirs our your six blade MaxComfort Gillette head

I was just posting what the actual better solution is to the problem now, but scrap metal recycling has existed for hundreds of years. Razor blades were collected as part of the scrap metal drives during WW2. It’s likely that many people lived near a scrap metal recycler that would have taken them, that’s just less convenient than dumping them into your walls.

Leaded gasoline gets a lot of attention but it really is shocking just how many hosed up things were in the air and ground water back then. Like, it's not exactly good here nowadays but back then it was the loving wild west of dumping chemicals into the storm sewer and hoping no one noticed.

When I worked at UPS there was a yard guy who used the raised patch of grass between the diesel pumps to grow tomatoes that he would eat.

Invasion of Iran was regular flavour imperialism afaik, the Nazi invasion of Poland was done as an integral part of a plan to genocide multiple groups and the Soviet invasion of Poland recaptured land they lost 20 years earlier when it was invaded by Poland and where Poles were mostly a minority.
IMO these three things are all morally quite different.

It also says "or so", which I think most reasonably people would mean you could extend it back a decade to include WW1 too.
