I see an empty reply, very odd.

Hahaha yes!

Sounds like you have little to lose and little to win, but potentially a lot to win. So… Why not?

Nice cropping.

Why the quote marks?

But why put them in the hole? If you have no clean burning, the filter mostly gets carbon, which can be burned again. Some plastics like PVC release HCl, so you need to scrub that, but the result is harmless table salt. The biggest issue is formation of dioxins, so you need to have a high flame temperature to make sure everything burns clean. Otherwise dust etc. could contain heavy metals, but that is not directly from the plastic.

There is no extension when I open the link directly from inside my Lemmy app (connect). There is also no ad block.

What do you mean with filters?

Ahhh my eyes… All white.

But yes, good memories.

The polymer decomposes when you heat it up, yes. But you can also start from scratch, so to speak. But that is a more involved process. The same way you can reuse steel or melt it completely new.

This is actually incorrect, you can absolutely break plastic into its basic constituents and create new plastic. But that costs more than simply using already existing oil.

The cheaper downcycle method is roughly separating the plastics and using certain ones to make new items like plastic bags, buckets etc.

I assumed it will be about wealth and not actually nutrients.

… What?

You operate a cafe and sell stuff that is trash 5 minutes later? You print a trash bin.

Yes, they are. But that does not make it better that there is no bin. I have been in a situation with no bin but trash that can not simply be carried (disgusting liquid) and had to dump it. That is extremely rare for me, I usually pick up others trash. But there are situations where you simply need a bin, no matter how green you are.

Does “older games” only mean the initial public release? So world of Warcraft, Dota 2, Minecraft… all those games that are constantly updated etc. too?

Because that would be a really useless statistic. Many games are not a one time release and done thing anymore. They evolve over time. The games I listed have large player bases.

Yes, from the individual person that is a perfect deal, nothing monetary to lose but they can get something. Only other persons will suffer. Which is exactly why everyone here calls it a bribe. Which is why you saying that completely neutral makes it look as if you think that is good and should be done.

What exactly are you arguing for or against at this point?

“the thief gave me money to shut up, I see nothing negative for me”

What is wrong with you?

Given odd things like “/Delta d” that seems likely.
