Poison the cancer slightly faster than the whole organism! My dad cancer treatment gave him liver disease that eventually turned into a cancer that was way more deadly than his original cancer.

Hopefully.

Putting hot food on polystyrene plates

Single-use plastic, yeah. Things like Tupperware will stick around unless we go back to using asphalt for food preservation.

I think we're going to see single use wax-paper or similar displace the plastic and Styrofoam for your delivery order.

Most of the paper ones are plastic coated.

Lol, were you alive 20 years ago? same shit

20 years though? That's incredibly generous and unlikely imo.

People are refusing to tackle the infrastructure issue of people charging their cars who do not own single family detached homes. It's a significant population of people for which owning an electric vehicle is a huge inconvenience. Public charging stations exist, but take significantly longer than the 2 minutes it takes to pump gas.

The second big thing is that people simply don't replace their cars that often. Might be pulling this out of my ass, but I had read recently that the average person replaces their vehicle every 7-12 years...and it is often not with a brand new vehicle. Considering how electric cars still make a very small percentage of those on the road, I can't see 100% removal of gas vehicles in 20 years in only a few generations of vehicle ownership change.

The Nissan Leaf came out around 15 years ago as the first big name, somewhat popularish electric vehicle. Yet in 2025 electric vehicles are nowhere close to even 50% of vehicles on the road.

In the more distant future? Sure. 20 years ain't happening tho.

But we'll see!

I legitimately do not understand why so many people refuse to drink tap water. I get that an occasional bottle of water is convenient when traveling or something, but some of my neighbors seem to only drink bottled water even at home. The city will literally test your water for free if you don't trust it for some reason.

Long live the three seashells

Nope, I can't see this happening either, unless bides take over.

Toilet paper is actually rather effective, it is cheap, easily processed, effective enough at removing most of the crap, it does not require added water infrastructure (I would not clean my ass with grey water) and simple to teach new users

And outdoors now too

Well, we've tallied the votes and...sigh

Brother, US is never changing, you guys hate each other too much.
