- scoofy 3y agoAs soon as I saw people were using metal straws as a replacement for plastic straws, I thought... that is a terrible, dumb idea. Yet people still buy them. It's pretty nuts. There are now perfectly functional composable straws, but people still need to compost them.

- PlunderBunny 3y agoThe odds of something like that happening are so astronomically low that you’re better off spending your energy looking up for falling pianos.

- opan 3y agoThere are also silicone and glass straws. Plus a metal straw with a bend in it may be safer than a straight one. I was expecting someone else to have mentioned silicone straws already, I'd heard of them before in other straw discussions. Had to do a search and make sure they really existed.
