Even if they were telling the truth, which they weren't, that still meant that they were emitting PFAS. Multiply that by all the factories on Earth that emit them even if all of them cut their emissions by that much and it's still too much PFAS.

But then my dockers pants won't properly wick away my diet coke when it spills on my crotch!

If I have to put butter in a frying pan, what even is the point of cooking?

Can I spray the butter?

That's the only way I'm gonna be able to cook my Plastic squeeze tube of processed onion matter in a civilized fashion.

They will when they're made of 100% plastic instead of the 45% they have now.

This is the American ingenuity I live for
