This takes a left turn if that is one of those ladles made with the super cancer black plastic that we're all supposed to throw away now.

Oh great another way I'm going to die. Bury me with my mothers black plastic scrambled egg spatula I grew up with.

The article says that this applies to current black plastic because a lot of it is sourced from the recycling of other plastics that might have included toxic chemicals. Black spatulas from before recycling was a thing might be alright.

My usual response to this: Nothing. If you have to get me something, give me chocolate (or something else I can eat or drink).

I have my own money. If I need something, I buy it. And if I don't buy it, I don't need it and don't want anyone to get it for me.

You know you’re getting old when you think, “That’s a decent looking ladle.”

I prefer the ones with a little spout to make pouring easier.

I once wished for socks since I needed new socks and everybody thought I was joking. 😔

[–] MoonlightFox@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I often wish for wool socks. Can never have too many when living in a place with cold winters.

[–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 hours ago

I get a pair of wool socks every christmas from my grandma's sister who makes them. Which is about the rate they get holes in them lol
