@nazokiyoubinbou @jernej__s @selzero ...wrong. JFC this is an easily verifiable experiment. How about you do goddamn research instead of telling me what your gut feels? JFC you're embarrassing.

@nazokiyoubinbou @jernej__s @selzero Don't believe me? Test your cans yourself, this is a simple gradeschool project, as in I literally did this in the 2nd grade:

It's cheap, simple, and easy to do. Yes, all those metal can you think are pure metal have plastic in them, unless you somehow found some extremely odd canning location that doesn't export world-wide.

"Nearly all aluminum and tin cans, such as soda cans, beer cans, and canned foods have plastic-based liners to increase shelf life and prevent corrosion."

@nazokiyoubinbou @jernej__s @selzero No, not some, all. They still have metal so yes, you'll have metal bits trying to cut you. But one side of them is coated with a thin, almost imperceptible layer of plastic. perhaps my image didn't show well enough how thin this plastic is. You can't and won't notice it unless you chemically peel the aluminum off, there's no way to separate it and see it without doing so. This has been the canning process world-wide for the last 30 years.

@jernej__s @selzero Yeah thats what I mean. They still sell cardboard cartons here too (my almond milk right now is in one) but they all use plastic liners. everything uses plastic. Even aluminum cans, they have plastic liners now too:

@selzero what's insane is we DID have paper containers years ago. Milk Cartons used to come with wax lining. They switched to plastics in the early 80s because it was more economic. So... paper "bottles" are a thing, it's just that we as a society have become too stupid to remember how we did it.
