Ick! It just feels crappy and bad and cheap. Plastic things make creaky noises and fall apart, and they feel bad to interact with. Idk if it’s a sensory thing or I’m just an asshole, but I fully believe that under FALGSC I would never have to touch this shit.
They don’t make glass and metal TV remotes or game controllers. I can never replace my Kindle Oasis because every other e-reader is made of the cheapest, worst plastic.
How can I just …not have to touch plastic anymore?
It’s a natural plastic, cis-1,4-polyisoprene! It’s made of a volatile called isoprene that tons of plants and animals make, including humans. We breathe it out.
Trans-1,4-polyisoprene is a harder natural plastic called gutta-percha and dentists use it to refill root canals because it has really good biocompatibility.
