Is natural rubber a plastic?

[-] vintageballs@feddit.de 57 points 9 months ago

Tires aren't made exclusively of natural rubber, they contain synthetic polymers among other things.

Additionally, by vulcanizing the rubber, three-dimensional chemical bonds resembling those found in synthetic plastics are created to harden the material.

So the end product is not really "natural" or "rubber" anymore.

What's the alternative? Basically all wheels use vulcanized treads.

That's the point of the 15 minute city - that is, a city where everything its people need is within a 15 minute walk. People travel less and when they travel they walk or bike. The alternative, in other words, is better city design.

I think you mean that no one will be allowed to go more than 15 minutes away and everyone will be in concentration camps!0👿👿👿

yes the trackers from the vaccines identify your home location and when the gps signals show you surpassed them it disintegrates you.
