    This isn't me having a hissy fit or saying "unsub!" (in part because I did that well before today, pretty much when Kyle left). Just my reaction to the new BC vid that popped up in my "Recommended" section.
    I pressed play, first time a BC vid post-Kyle leaving. Got words on screen. Odd. Okay, lets see this out. 10 sec later, no one on screen. Started skipping through a few random spots, no one on screen. No voice over. Nothing. I thought "Fuck this". Typed this message. And as I hit "comment", I'll be finding out how to remove BC from my recommended section.

If y'all don't have a host lined up, don't force it with incomplete content...we can wait and (hopefully) the community Kyle and your team have fostered will be more open to new ideas and people ESPECIALLY if it seems like some effort was actually being made to make the same level of content we came to expect with Kyle as the host.

      @@x9x9x9x9x9 it's like all of them because you want the plastic to actually last and not say biodegrade even a little while say storing food. It usually needs incredible heat. And the "technical" term is usually "conpostable." Because you can't control "oh don't degrade when you are used, but degrade quickly while in relative similar conditions when we don't want you anymore.
      Your fridge is moist too. The food and air also have bacteria and fungi. You don't want packaging to degrade while in use.
      That's why as soon as you process it to meet the criteria you need, you can't throw it into nature.
      And "good for landfill" yeah. Because with your greens, some places don't use industrial composters or don't use them LONG enough for it to work. Many even burn it as biofuel. And not recycling because it's a whole other process that most places don't do. A completely seperate one from oil plastics. And it looks very similar so most sorting machines can't seperate it. Usually leading that entire batch to go to landfill.
      Of course you can put the plastic in the garden. And it will fall apart. But it isn't really on a chemical level. You just get more pieces of plastic.

The fantasy of plastic straws being some major catastrophe on their own comes from one kid who made some phone calls and extrapolated carelessly, and repeating the unscientific claims of a child as if it were a study is causing real harm to people with disabilities with these straw bans.
