Would aliens in 10000 years even be able to tell the difference between trash and ... well, not trash? They'd probably just think that we were really into plastic. Which isn't wrong - I literally bought a plastic mixing bowl this week (it was that or steel, and I hate the noise of steel bowls).

mixing bowls are the fucking worst

plastic: scratches really easily, probably toxic, environmental nightmare

ceramic: heavy af, breaks easily

glass: heavy af, breaks easily

wood: literally porous, pain in the ass to clean, can't go in dishwasher, and you have to oil it like a fucking engine

steel: heavy, dents easily, your kitchen is STOMP! now

(I think I recall a STOMP! performance played on PBS when I was a kid in the early '00s where they used primarily steel bowls but couldn't find a clip)
